Life in Tee Harbor, Alaska

Good Book on Frugal Tips

I picked up a book at the library called "Gene Logsdon's Money-Saving Secrets - A Treasury of Salvaging, Bargaining, Recycling & Scavenging Techniques".  I have never heard of it before and it has some great ideas in it.  If your library has it, it would be worth reading.

Here are some other favorites of mine that I like to read over and over:
The Tightwad Gazette - Amy Dacyzyn
How to Feed Your Family For $12 a Day - Rhonda Barfield
Cheaper and Better
Better Than Store Bought
Miserly Moms

Do you have any good books about saving money that you would recommend?

Just stopping in

No, I don't have any good books on saving money other than the Financial Peace University course we took... that and most places will give you a deal if you pay cash up front for large ticket items, though we have only had the opportunity to try that once (and it worked quite well...) We make the most of our large windows and make sure all of the south-facing blinds are wide open during the day and turn off the lights. We use an electric blanket at night and turn the heat completely off (not something you could probably do in Alaska, but in WA it works on all but the very coldest nights) I make my own granola bars for the kids and even fruit leather, but snacky stuff is more important with little kids than grown ups.

Anyway, I hadn't been byyour blog for a bit so I thought I would catch up! Your stove looks very nice ;)
