Thrifty Ways For Modern Days

This book is jam packed with handy thrift hints and tips from the ‘Old-Style' community of MoneySavingExpert.com for how to live life cheaply, healthily, ethically and thriftily. Read Amazon Customer Reviews*

Based on the collective wisdom of the scores of contributors to the MoneySaving Old-Style section of the Forum, the Old Style board started when many of the older visitors to the site decided to share their accumulated knowledge with other younger users. It swiftly developed into a discussion on living life cheaply, healthily, ethically and thriftily.

As this book is based on collective wisdom, I'm donating all my proceeds to the MSE Charitable Fund.

What's in it?

It's a fun 250 page compendium of tips and info on a huge range of household subjects. The tips come from hundreds of Old-Stylers, and the book is edited together by me in a way that makes it both a fun read, good to flick through, and a directory of hints and tips for virtually any task.

Clothes and Shoes. “If you've got unmatched socks, why not use them as a great way to store onions!” DIY and Home Maintenance. “How to get scratches off a fish tank... brass polishing wool will get rid of most scratches or try rubbing in a smokers' toothpaste." The Good Life, Grow your own. “The innards of an old toilet roll is perfect for growing peas, beans and sweet peas.” Presents and home made gifts. “For someone moving to a new home, give a gift hamper of useful and fun things, like a bottle of wine, a torch, corkscrew, mugs, a set of tea bags etc.” Christmas, weddings and other occasions. “How about home made chocolates or petit-fours (see recipe section) wrapped in tissue paper within a pretty box, looks like it should cost £20, but actually costs less than a quid.” The Old-Style Recipe Book. Full of scores of cheap but healthy and tasty recipes and how to cook a full dinner from whatever you have left in the store cupboard.
