Money saving sites:

Frugal Living

Welcome to Frugalvillage

cut clutter | Organized Home

Hillbilly Housewife

~~~~~~~~~~~

And as for books, I always try my library first. I liked the TWG, but most of her suggestions were a bit to tight for me, esp when she was talking about food. So I was glad I just got it from the library and didn't spend money on it.

Other great ones that you will hear about a lot here are:

Simple Living Guide by Janet Luhrs

and one other that is scaping me at the moment....

i love TWG and the simple living guide mentioned above. i have a sub to the simple dollar (a blog) and to cindy's porch, both financial/frugal sites. i've also used hillbilly housewife to learn to make some simple things from scratch...and very cheaply.
