No I haven't, but I do plan on reading it ASAP.
What confuses me is the fact that you bought eBooks on saving money lol
it's like buying a money box. but why.
And stuff like turning the tap off while brushing your teeth
Real OzBargainers use toilet water.
Real OzBargainers dont have teeth as it saves on dentist visits and toothpaste,brushes,floss etc.
This OzBargainer is on the toilet right now! :)
A real ozbargainer would have bought a shovel. From masters. With 10% coupon and 7.5% groupon combined.
@Vyviel:
Hardcore ozb ate the left over food from big function in hotel / rubbish bin from restaurant ( yes we waste like tons of perfectly good food while african kid……)Also they aint paying no rent and sleep under the bridge
Anyone know someone with false teeth that recently died?
Yes. Sadly my wife but we had a wonderful 46 years of wedlock.
Under its old name on the au site :
307 ways to save money on everything
We're professionals. We don't need this.
Well they definitely saved money on cover art.
Can anyone who has read this please disclose whether it's worth doing so?
I bet vinegar makes at least one appearance.
I'll ad Bi-Carb Soda to that list
I'm reading it now.
It's American.
It's pathetic.
It's worth a read just for the laughs.
My faves so far (1/4 through). Cut your own hair, don't use tampons, use cloth toilet paper for urine, steal napkins from shops ,don't buy a toothbrush get it from your dentist, don't go outdoors to save money on sunscreen, don't flush if only peeing, and of course VINEGAR IS GOLD!
Vinegar is wonderful when you saved money by not buying anything to use it on and you save more money by walking 15 minutes every time you need to use the public toilets so you never have to use vinegar on a toilet you own.
Not that you bought a toilet to start with, the previous owner was the idiot that wasted money on that house item, what a tool.
walking 15 minutes…to use the public toilets
Careful, you might need sunscreen to do that!
I don't even find that funny.
If things are that bad, then they might as well go full blown revolution and overturn the status quo.
Yet it's got 70+ upvotes and zero negs simply because it's free, and it feels wrong to neg something if we haven't read it yet… The system doesn't protect us from frontpaging these junk ebooks!
dont know if its in the book but using Garamond font saves ink..
Pun intended?
Nobody at all should aim to be a cheapskate. If you wish to spend your life living in poverty rather than abundance make it your life's aim to save as much money as possible on every single thing and spend your life chasing saving 2 dollars on this and 3 dollars on that and making do with low quality items. This is time and emotional energy that could be put to much better use.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
^ you don't belong here.
True, bargain hunting and economizing often takes a lot of time and effort. It is simplest to purchase something from the most convenient retailer rather than drive 15 km to purchase to for 10% less, or spending 2 hours scouring the internet for a slightly lower price.
However, there are a lot of people who extremely proud of their stinginess. To me this seems as stupid are being proud of being disabled, or getting divorced only 6 months after being married.
I stopped reading at 'Tip your urine down the sink to save money on flushing the toilet'.
This woman needs help.
urine for more amazing tips if you keep reading tho.
drink your own urine??
Calm down Bear Grylls
Its not as bad as you think, only dont drink it after 20 minutes because the bacteria buildup can cause liver poisoning. Happy drinking!
Don't pee or poop. You'll save money not only on toilet maintenance but also you'll be less hungry and less thirsty. It is the best solution to solve world hunger and sanitation problems. Two birds with one stone.
Dont breathe, you will reduce the amount of Co2 in the atmosphere resulting in a global cooling and less things to buy because the world will be frozen in the new ice age.
I hear you, brother!
I'm too CHEAP for this deal!
Is that because you have to spend time obtaining this free ebook and you're using the excuse time = money?
Can save on internet downloads too, all those kilobytes add up ;)
Thats why you use your neighbours' net.
They should make an Aussie version. #1 Do all your opal "trips" on Monday, as per the Gladys Berejiklian Challenge.
Why not just commit a serious crime and get free accommodation and food for life!
You need to go to the states for life sentences, our judges only give a slap on the wrist and a "please dont do this again, ok?".
I bought a few books about being frugal and they all contained really basic advice or advice that's only applicable to the US (like coupon stacking and specific rewards programs and whatnot). They were all well reviewed too.
Have you read this one? Did you learn stuff?
