Praise for The Cheapskate's Handbook
"This book is fun. Whether you truly have some Scrooge in your DNA or not, it's hard to take the Miserliness Aptitude Test ... explore the Roommate Fee List ... or read the "How to Avoid Taking Your Spouse or Significant Other to a Movie" chapter and not crack a smile. Or more. Lowe is irreverent, silly, and quite often over the top.... It's a 2.0 edition, after all, so he gives you the cheapskate view on Uber, Lyft, Miley Cyrus, and more." -Ryan G. Van Cleave, Sarasota Scene
