What impact did the book have?
I enjoyed Money Secrets of the Amish. It's just a shame that what the book had to offer was no surprise to me. Being from Lancaster County, PA, I must admit that a lot of what the book had to offer was already common knowledge for me.These things include:Using couponsShopping at consignment shopsPurchasing meats and produce directly from the farmerShopping yard salesThe one idea I did really like was having a clothing/good swap with gal pals. I have heard of these before but would love to either be invited to one or organize one.The author does share some gems of knowledge, but none that I didn't already know.I really enjoyed the way the author gives assignments at the end each chapter. She also provides a lot of good resources such as blogs and other books to check out.All in all, I would have to admit that this book is valuable and a good read for anyone wanting to cut their expenses.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the &lt;...> &lt;...> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
