Low Cost Living

If you are into frugal cooking, then you're probably into frugal living generally. Our book, Low Cost Living, is about practical ways to live a better, greener life for less money. You can be pretty self-sufficient without spending a fortune to get there.

This isn't a book for dreamers - it's practical advice from ordinary people living life in an ordinary house. We dream of 5 acres in the country but in the meantime we live well in a suburban semi.  We bake our own bread, make our own butter, eat our own eggs  and grow our own food.

In this book, we show you how to do all these things. The chapter list shows all we cover:

• Low Cost Eating
