The advice in this book is a bit dated now, but a lot of the basic concepts are still perfectly sound. And for the up-to-date info the book points you to the relevant sections on the Money Saving Expert website.
Martin Lewis is passionate about saving people money, and that does come across pretty well in the book.
I have made a note of some of the points in the book, but as I have had it this long before properly reading it, and journalling it, I will not be keeping the book any more and will pass it on in the hope that it can help someone else with their money. I just need to make sure I say "on top" of my budgeting and shop smart!
