I think I read their book---nothing in it that I didn't already know though. I can't watch it. Will you report in with any info you learn from it?

That is the family that uses walkie talkies in the grocery store right? I saw them on one of those night shows (primetime or something) and then borrowed the book from the library...I really didn't learn anything new from it either Deemom!

Is this the family that they had on earlier this year when they did the segment on finaces? All the subsections had a book that you could purchase to learn more (there was a family that was in major debt over credit cards, then the cheapest family, Dave Ramsey, the lady who got money from other people to from the internet to get her out of debt and so on)- I was so dissappointed in that episode!

I saw the show when it originally aired and bought their book. It really doesn't have much in it. I was disappointed. I think just visiting this site you'd learn MUCH more (plus, Mommysavers is free!).

I haven't read the book, but I did see the show. IMO, I think they are a little too cheap for me, but that's what they prefer. I have learned a lot more just by visiting this webite!!
