Point, Click, and Save

September 1, 2010

Trust a former librarian to write a well-organized and practical guide to not only saving money but also finding ways to generate cash flow at home. Reinventing herself as the "Mashup Mom" (and writing a blog by the same name), Singer Gordon here offers chapters on living frugally, couponing, and finding deals, rebates, and freebies online. What really sets her book apart from many other thrifty-living titles, however, is its second half, in which she explores money making and freelance opportunities. Packed with resources and examples, this book is easy to read, and my only complaint is that it seems too narrowly focused--anyone looking to shop a little smarter or supplement an income, not just stay-at-home moms, might find much of value here.
