This review is from: All In Good Time: When to Save, Stock Up, and Schedule Everything for Your Home (Paperback)

I enjoyed reading this book and loved that the authors really organized the book well and were concise and to the point with their tips. The book is organized by rooms giving tips on how to save money on every room in your house. The ladies even gave a neat tip on what to do if you didn't get enough sleep and feel tired the next morning which is to drink a glass of water with lemon in it. I found the tips on washing and drying clothes at night because the electric company charges less money at night very interesting and something I didn't know. I also loved the recipe on how to make your own laundry detergent interesting because I didn't know how to do that and have always wanted to learn how to do it. This book is a great resource on how to make small changes in regards to what time you will purchase things for your home and beyond your home in order to save you money. The authors even give you links to other websites that have more information. I am single and don't have children so I skimmed over those parts that talked about saving money on clothes and toys for kids but overall it is a well thought out concise book that will save you money. I will definately recomend it to others so they can also save money.

What a great reference book for those who own a home and need a few more ways to save money around the house and even beyond the home. Going room by room was a perfect set up to allow for ease of reading and quick reference back when you are wanting to hunt down a particular tip. As a blogger, I loved that these women used their experiences online to help fill out the book with others opinions and suggestions.

The one part that I may have glossed over were the parts about children - the chores in the home, the ways to save money in regards to toys, clothes and so on. As me and the boy count our pup as the only child in the house, these great tips didn't quite hit close to home for us. But for those who have children in their home, this book would be perfect to keep on the shelf for pointers.

This will be a book that I keep around for inspiration on saving money in many different creative ways. I will also gift this book to others as a great housewarming gift, especially for those friends who may have kiddies running around their homes!
