Description

If the bigger box keeps turning out not to be the better deal: certifiedcheapskatebook.com The book has a whole part on reading the price tag, plus the dollar notebook that keeps the price in your head from going stale. 455 pages, 86 chapters, every store fact sourced. $39 early-bird, 7-day refund. I'm Thad, the certified cheapskate. My wife gave me the title in our first year of marriage. I've been earning it ever since. Everyone thinks checking every tag means becoming the person who holds up the line. It doesn't. A cheapskate isn't someone who never spends, it's someone who decides before the store does, and the small number on the shelf tag is the store helping you decide. I go through five ways that tag gets read wrong, from the yellow sale sign to the jar with a handle on it, and I've done every one of them. The last one isn't on any shelf, and it's where my mother comes in. And to give the store its due: in most of the country nobody makes a store print that small number, and the stores that print it big and clear are on your side. When you've tried it, leave one word in the comments: saved. And tell me which item you checked, and whether the big size won.
