“The Tightwad Gazette” was a newsletter published during the early 1990s by Amy Dacyczyn (pronounced “decision”). Eventually the back issues were collected into a series of books, which were in turn collected as The Complete Tightwad Gazette. Dacyczyn wrote articles like: “Budget Bug-Busting,” “Tightwad Toys,” “Used Shoes: Are they Good or Bad?” and “Saving Money on Your Mortgage.” This book has thousands of such tips, many of which were contributed by readers of the newsletter.
