Granny Pearl's Home Savings Manual — 90 sourced ways to cut every household bill

Why this one

Most "grandma savings" books make it up. This one doesn't.

My grandmother Della fed a family through the Depression on a few dollars and a great deal of sense. I kept her ways — and here, every single method names the real source it came from, printed right beside it and listed at the back. You can look any of it up.
