 Nothing's really free June 2, 2008
Partially my fault. I was looking for inexpensive restaurants, etc., in Chicago. I thought this was similar to the now defunct Mr. Cheap's Chicago.
Instead, it only lists free stuff, such as museums that provide free admission in January. Too bad this was May.
If I lived there it might be different. But I am not SO cheap as to travel all around town to a bar that lets me nurse a drink and pig out on their free food.
Too bad. There is lots in Chicago for people on a budget.

This book will pay for itself. Easily the most useful guide for moving to Chicago I've seen. If you are starting out in the city, you should get this book.

I got this book as a present when I spent a few months in Chicago for work. At first I thought is was just a fun gift - love the title, but I wasn't really expecting to get much use out of it. But I was shocked by how much useful stuff is in the book. I was able to see some amazing shows for free including performances at The Goodman and Steppenwolf, ate more than my fair share of free pizza, took a wonderful walking tour with the Chicago Greeters and got a great dirt-cheap massage at a massage school. I was really surprised by how much great free and seriously cheap things are in Chicago (and this book!). I highly recommend it.

I suppose the title gives it away, but I was unaware how much of a CHEAP BASTARD one has to be to find this book useful. This is NOT a book that gives you clever ways to cut corners. Instead, it assumes that you are in absolute poverty. Make sure you examine how much of a Cheap Bastard you really are before spending $15 that the book assumes you don't have.
