"Good House Cheap House is chock full of great ideas and creative solutions for those of us on a budget-but even the less financially-challenged can learn a thing or two about stylish and innovative design." --Charles Burbridge, designer, HGTV's Design on a Dime "The cookie-cutter house trend has been around long enough.

Talk's Cheap... and So Am I
$9.57 AuthorHouse SIF About the book Talk's Cheap.And So Am I. Book ID# 32705. Talk's Cheap.And So Am I is the guide to the many splendored beauty of living a cheap life. It is a comprehensive book to the cheap life from conception, birth, through childhood, puberty, adolescence, adulthood, middle age, old age, death and the after-life. It includes one family's history of cheapness. Many cheap ideas are presented in this seminal work on the cheap life. Three of these cheap ideas are reviewed here: First, love is spiritual-not material. Cheap love, noncommercial love, the realization of ideal love, is developed. Cheap sex and cheap contraceptive practices, using little more than one's mind and body, are created that are cheap fun, satisfying and effective. These practices use celibacy, deprivation and other cheap techniques and avoid purchasing expensive sex aids and contraceptive devices. Second, kids should be seen, not heard and they should be cheap to raise. Whatever kids grow up doing will seem natural and proper to them, since they are born not knowing what life should be. Kids that are raised living and shopping cheaply will observe what a great and fun bargain living the cheap life actually is. Cheap puberty and adolescence practices are developed. Since puberty and adolescence are difficult times for the participants, at least they should be done as cheaply as possible. These methods lead to the cheapest, most enjoyable and effective methods for raising kids. Third, since the cheap principle is the best return on one's investment, cheap adults, cheap relationships, cheap business and buying practices are discussed. These practices imply one does not buy extravagant diamonds, Porsches, land, stocks, etc. People, such as wives, are never referred to as diamonds nor Porsches, etc., since that implies they are property, are expensive to maintain and are losses on one's investments. |

Cheap
$9.74 A myth-shattering investigation of the true cost of America''s passion for finding a better bargain From the shuttered factories of the Rust Belt to the strip malls of the Sun Belt-and almost everywhere in between-America has been transformed by its relentless fixation on low price. This pervasive yet little- examined obsession with bargains is arguably the most powerful and devastating market force of our time, having fueled an excess of consumerism that blights our landA-scapes, escalates personal debt, lowers our standard of living, and even skews of our concept of time. Spotlighting the peculiar forces that drove Americans away from quality, durability, and craftsmanship and towards quantity, quantity, and more quantity, Ellen Ruppel Shell traces the rise of the bargain through our current big-box profusion to expose the astronomically high cost of cheap. |

Cheap?
$13.01 In most developed countries, in almost every trade sector, prices have decreased considerably over the last few years - in some cases by more than 20 per cent. The choice of products on offer is immense, and customers are inundated with a vast range of goods costing very little money. In this powerful account of society''s greedy over-consumption, David Bosshart paints a bleak picture of our increasing obsession with cheap goods. He exposes the darker side of some of our favorite organizations such as Wal-Mart, McDonald''s, and Disney and reveals some substantial paradoxes in their business strategies. David Bosshart asks us to question our pursuit of unbridled consumer choice and low prices and to consider the effect this pursuit is having on the world''s economies and societies. |

Cheap
$9.99 An Atlantic correspondent uncovers the true cost—in economic, political, and psychic terms—of our penchant for making and buying things as cheaply as possible. From the shuttered factories of the rust belt to the look-alike strip malls of the sun belt—and almost everywhere in between—America has been transformed by its relentless fixation on low price. This pervasive yet little examined obsession is arguably the most powerful and devastating market force of our time—the engine of globalization, outsourcing, planned obsolescence, and economic instability in an increasingly unsettled world. Low price is so alluring that we may have forgotten how thoroughly we once distrusted it. Ellen Ruppel Shell traces the birth of the bargain as we know it from the Industrial Revolution to the assembly line and beyond, homing in on a number of colorful characters, such as Gene Verkauf (his name is Yiddish for “to sell”), founder of E. J. Korvette, the discount chain that helped wean customers off traditional notions of value. The rise of the chain store in post–Depression America led to the extolling of convenience over quality, and big-box retailers completed the reeducation of the American consumer by making them prize low price in the way they once prized durability and craftsmanship. The effects of this insidious perceptual shift are vast: a blighted landscape, escalating debt (both personal and national), stagnating incomes, fraying communities, and a host of other socioeconomic ills. That’s a long list of charges, and it runs counter to orthodox economics which argues that low price powers productivity by stimulating a brisk free market. But Shell marshals evidence from a wide range of fields—history, sociology, marketing, psychology, even economics itself—to upend the conventional wisdom. Cheap also unveils the fascinating and unsettling illogic that underpins our bargain-hunting reflex and explains how our deep-rooted n |
