There was a series of books bases on the newsletter called "Tightwad Gazett". I got some great ideas on moey saving from her. Lentiles and rice casserole and using powdered milk in any recipie that call for milk are things I learned from her. Also to NEVER buy bisquick, always make your pancakes, waffles and bisquits from scratch.
About the texts: seems like a childish control issue. She is up, so you ought to be too!
