This handy guide resurrects the fine art of frugal housekeeping with over 500 tips on saving money throughout the home and garden.

Lovely vintage-inspired line drawings and a beautiful foil-stampedcloth cover makethis an ideal stocking stuffer or newlywed gift. Best of all, Penny Saving Household Helper is a bargain in and of itself. At $12.95, it's just a little over two cents per tip!
