St. Louis Named Among 'Best Cities For Cheapskates'
Kiplinger's says St. Louis is a great city for cheapskates - and insists we take that as a compliment.
The Gateway City ranks at number 9 on the Kiplinger compilation, and it's the biggest city in their top 10 (full list is below).
They say St. Louis' housing costs, at 27 percent below the national average, are what cemented our place on the list.
As a bonus: If you value museums and libraries, Kiplinger's says the concentration of libraries and museums in St. Louis beats that of New York City. We have 1.6 libraries and museums per 10,000 people while New York City has 1.3.
