This book couldn't have come at a better time.  Although the high cost of filling cars with gasoline and buying tickets and food purchases at entertainment venues makes staying at home look like the most attractive option, In Search of the Five-Cent Nickel provides excellent suggestions for saving money everywhere you go—whether it's a movie, a play, a concert, or a restaurant. And if you choose to stay home for dinner and a movie, the book tells you how to cut costs there, too.

I read the book in its entirety, and found it very helpful.
What I found most helpful was the itemized budget. We just purchased software for budgeting our home expenses and we will use the itemization as a word-for-word template on how we'll break down our spending. Saving for things like a vacation fund had never occurred to me before.
