I grew up in Amish country. Having them as neighbors was always fascinating. If you want to know how to live a frugal life, work the land, avoid buttons and drive a buggy, move in with an Amish family.
I’m no expert, so instead of me gabbing to you about the few things I do understand about the Amish and their frugal ways, here is a book on the subject:
The author, Lorilee Craker, 
Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without.” – Money Secrets of the Amish
Craker does a good job of including “English” (non-Amish) examples in the frugal advice.
For example, I’ve never really had a strong need to make a dozen mincemeat pies on a dime. Sadly, I’m just not cool like that. But I do know there is always wisdom in preparing and storing food long-term.
So there is plenty you can derive from this book. Perhaps it will inspire you to pick up a new habit or two.
The author is witty. So there’s that.
If you want to check out some other great books about personal finance, here are my previous reviews:
