This page is devoted to books and the authors we find typify what it means to be a Frugal Yankee. From Cotton Mather to the latest release, these authors explore spending less and enjoying life. Many are from New England, but being a Frugal Yankee doesn't mean we are parochial. We've interviewed many of them and if you're inspired buy their book.

Remember, the gift of reading is a thoughtful gift.
All of these books have the Frugal Yankee seal of approval.

BEING A FRUGAL CONSUMER

consumers are considered mindless prey by most marketers.
Our authors help you know what "they" are up to, how
they do it, how you can outsmart them and become a Frugal Yankee.

THIS WORKING LIFE
If you're going to spend 40 hours a week (or more) at it,
get it right. Figure out why you hate your boss or vica versa,
or where does real innovation comes from; or what to do with
our brand new degree? Great conversation to help the working folk.

KITCHEN & GARDEN
Is organic food and nutritional supplements good for you?
Is sushi really Japan's version of McDonald's?
Are traditional crafts coming back?

Laugh everyday, you'll live longer.The Frugal Yankee talks
to author who look at the lighter side of death plus some

racial equality. How business, the economy and money
influences your life in ways not dreamed of.

you'll find books about beer, crafting, bugs,
