"Weaving concrete advice from her own life with stories and ideas from many of her frugal friends — including Margaret Atwood who encouraged Harris to write this book — Thrifty offers encouraging, entertaining and eclectic ways to live a frugal life with style."
— rabble
"Thrifty is an entertaining read, thanks to the author's witty style and practical anecdotes."
— Calgary Herald
"Globe and Mail columnist Marjorie Harris uses humour and practical advice to flog the benefits of a thrifty life — from how to be a frugal foodie (only buy what's in season and cook from scratch) to cleaning house with the four basics (baking soda, white vinegar, borax and water)."
— Edmonton Journal
"It's a solid guide to the virtues of non-consumerism,yet — big relief — doesn't come across as preachy or reeking of environmental goody-goodyism."
— Toronto Star
"Harris reminds us that the word thrifty is derived fromthe word thrive. If we do it right, she promises, living thriftily willmake us feel good — not deprived."
