The Tightwad Gazette has had a profound impact on me...occasionally I'll find myself drifting into bad habits and I'll break those books out again to get re-inspired. (Just last week my daughters & I used tips & a recipe in the TG to make a bunch of frozen pizzas ahead of time- we're even having one for supper tonight! Much cheaper than delivery.) The biggest thing I took away from these books is that frugality can be FUN! I love finding a bargain, and the things I get on sale I love even more. For a treat, I took my two daughters out to a nice local restraunt the other day & was able to use coupons & specials to get out of there with a bill of $7.99 (plus a generous tip- the book also taught me the difference between being cheap and being frugal) including an appetizer and a desert. I swear the food tasted sooo much better because I knew it was so cheap 
Thanks so much for the link to the update- I wonder if she knows just how much she influenced peoples lives.
