I already wrote a special article on “good deal” reading at the beginning of the year, but I have some more books to recommend to you in this category.
Here is a quick overview of the releases from the last few months featuring several books on “good deals” or discovering Paris.

Making ends meet
This little practical guide is intended for everyone who doesn’t earn enough to make ends meet and is looking for a directory of side jobs to do in their free time. In short, it’s the perfect anti-crisis tool!
Just for you, here are the 5 favorite good deals (which are detailed in the guide) from the author, Françoise Lemoine-Monat, to help make ends meet:
- Register on the Millemissions website to offer your handyman services
- Apply to the School Affairs Department of the City of Paris (3 rue de l’Arsenal Paris IVth), to provide homework help in primary schools or supervise lunch breaks
- Leave your contact details with your local vet to walk the dog of an overbooked executive woman or stop by to cuddle her cat during her professional trips
- Be a mystery shopper for an agency like Qualimetrie or Refletclient (aha, I tested this one, but you need to have quite a bit of free time, which is no longer really my case…)
- Do groceries or chat a few times a week with a granny in exchange for a room (Ensemble2generations.fr, logementintergeneration.org)

J’aime Attendre, the guide to Parisian exhibitions
And then for a change, I am also presenting a 100% online guide. The 5th edition of the guide offers tips and tricks to save time on a daily basis, especially to avoid waiting lines for autumn exhibitions.
The super good deal is that this 70-page guide is also downloadable online for free. It will offer you a selection of the most anticipated exhibitions of this season and a summary agenda, thanks to investigative work at each museum.
