husband bought me this book many years ago, I have reread it many times often

when I want to spoil myself with a special treat, Tracey McBride gives elegance to frugality: the need to be careful with our resources, This is definitely one of my favorite "feel good" books, Very dated, no good insights, I loved this book! I think that this book helped me view my situation differently than I did before, I learned that it doesn't take money to have class and to live a fulfilling life with grace and dignity, Sweet ideas and simple but profound insights, Tracey McBride created the newsletter Frugal Times inand has since delighted thousands by elevating the skill of living frugally to an art form.
  Now Tracey's commonsense techniques for making "every day a feast" and her wisdom on how to cultivate abundance are gathered in one volume,

  Combining the spiritual nourishment of Simple Abundance with the practicality of The Tightwad Gazette, Frugal Luxuries is destined to become the classic on how to live every day with a sense of abundance, beauty, and luxury.
Simple pleasures. the tone of this book was lovely, the practical information was either rather dated or a bit vague, I first found this book through it's partner book: Frugal Luxuries by the Seasons, The library where I work had a copy that caught my attention, and the thoughts on various means to bring luxury into one's frugal life based on the seasons of the year were so cozy.
This book, while the precursor to the other, wasn't QUITE as neat a read, Solid tone, not as much practical, for me, Ive no idea why I am always drawn to these “frugal” homemaker books but this one was a little too dated to offer much inspiration, I didn't get really far, but still, what I read so far was a very superfluous way of saying be happier with what you have and find joy in the little things.
Which is obviously great advice, but I'd rather not read over a hundred pages of different ways of saying it : Wonderful! This book serves as a thoughtful reminder to focus on the quality of one's life, and not the quantity of possessions.
Contains many practical ideas for pursuing thrift with style, yet always adds a short essay to put the thrift into an almost spiritual context, I have never read this book, dated, but it had a lot of good frugal tips I had not considered or read elsewhere, I took good notes. This book is an excellent reference, and truly teaches you to have peace with less and not more, This book is more along the lines of an Alexandra Stoddard book, There is a chapter about money, but she talks about acquiring things quite a bit, which to me isn't frugal, The main ideas are really about having what's important to you and doing it for less money, There are no real money savings ideas, recipes, etc that you'd find in a book like the Cheapskate Gazette, A woman after my own heart! Good ideas, Liked the first half of the book the most, My life went into a tailspin when I bought Iyear old house that needed a lot of TLC, Frugal Luxuries isn't very good, . . but it made my life so much nicer the first few months of chaos in my new house, I think I picked up at exactly the right moment in my life, sitelink post a comment.
