author:  Rich Gray 
description: <DIV>""There are a lot of ideas you already know in this book, but at the price, even if you get just a couple of new hints, it could be helpful. Since we know how well our New Year's resolutions about dieting are going to work out, we might as well resolve to watch our pennies and become more frugal in 2009."" --""Pasadena Star News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Whittier Daily News""</div>
