One dollar must do the work of two: Caroline Benton dedicates her book to the housekeepers attempting exactly that. Living on a Little follows the delightful task through markets and menus, stretching every purchase without shame. Domestic economy written with encouragement instead of scolding. Make the small budget feel like enough.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
