In this battered economy, saving money matters more to consumers than ever before. But most people are tired of hearing about all the small stuff, like skipping their morning latte. They tried that, and it didn't work. Americans want fresh, bold ideas and Save Big: Cut Your Top 5 Costs and Save Thousands has them. In fresh, engaging prose, Elisabeth Leamy shows consumers how to save big on life's most important and costly items. Filled with actionable advice and the insider secrets readers are hungering for, Save Big
- Details how to save a lot of money on a few things rather than merely saving a little on a bunch of small items
- Reveals the keys to saving money and the challenges consumers face
- Educates consumers on how to save thousands on the five things most people spend the most money on: houses, cars, credit, groceries, and healthcare
After the turbulent economic events of the recent past, more and more consumers are focusing on budgeting and creative ways to save money. Save Big can help.
Industry Reviews
-Gail MarksJarvis, Chicago Tribune, December 2009
"Advice is practical, clearly explained and, best of all, does not require daily maintenance or routine deprivation. ... Even if readers choose only one or two tips from the hundreds offered, Save BIG should live up to its tantalizing title - and you can read it over your latte."
-Joanna Brichetto, BookPage, January 2010
"Save BIG is a tremendous source of savings for you, the consumer. I learned many things from reading this book on how to save BIG rather than save small. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to save thousands or possibly millions in a lifetime by just some simple adjustments to what you do."
