Lisa Wysocki lives in one of the most expensive areas in the U.S. She's able to save money by spending it wisely on the things that matter such as high quality products that will get years of use or something that will leave you with great memories to come.

This book will smash all those preconceived notions of who the millionaires really are. You could be living right next to one without knowing it. Great book.

Excellent book for reducing your food costs. No expensive or hard to find ingredients. Food is tasty and nutritious. Has a Christian focus so if you're put off by that, just ignore it and focus on the recipes.

My all-time favorite author. I've actually met her and she is one of the most lovely and authentic people I have ever met. She really walks her talk. Change your life from the inside out. The more happy you are inside, the less you need to spend on trying to buy happiness instead.

Before you shell out $$$ on pricey department store cosmetics, check out this book to see if there are less expensive, high quality products to use instead. Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's the best.

Another of my favorite cookbooks. I have yet to make a recipe from this book that my family didn't like. If you're going to buy only one cookbook for inexpensive, delicious meals, this is the one I recommend.
