‘Tightwad Gazette’ Runs Short of Ideas

LEEDS, Maine — The Tightwad Gazette, the bible of frugality, is folding--in part because when it comes to ideas the publisher is broke.

“It’s tremendously hard to find subjects that apply to everyone. At some point you have to repeat yourself,” Amy Dacyczyn said.

The newsletter she founded six years ago will cease publication at year’s end.

Dacyczyn is working on a third book based on the monthly newsletter.
