This is one of the best books I own, hands down! I work at a Library and have an extensive home library but this book gets used more often than anything else. It is well organized, alphabetically, and outlines the many uses for everyday household things. For instance, there is a whole section on what you can do with Vinegar, a whole section on pepper, and so forth. Did you know that if you put pepper on a fresh cut, it will stop the bleeding immediately? If you become the proud owner of this book, you will. And you will know many more useful facts that you can share - you and your friends will be amazed :)

I've purchased many, many books of this type, but this is the newest and best by far. I thought I had read most of the hints and tips published, but I found a whole new collection in this book. The layout and sections are easy to read, and you can find what you are looking for quickly. Well worth the money!

I bought this after reading the excellent reviews given to this book. But I have tried several of the uses given and None have worked for me. I tried several recipes for dingy socks and none worked. I tried the one for dying hair naturally, it did not work either. I'm very disappointed !

We are enjoying all the ideas. It made a great Christmas present from us to friends and many in the family. It has a "companion volume" which we have and sent on to others-also enjoyable, clever and informative.

Thank you for this book and a great fast transaction. It was a pleasure dealing with you and no doubt will again in future!!

I bought two of these. One for myself and one as a gift. There are really interesting uses that are very beneficial. Can't wait to get through the whole book! I would definitely recommend this!

High recommend. I found this book at the library and there was so much useful advice I had to buy a copy of my own. A wide range of topics covered, easy to read. Fantastic book!!

I am completely pleased with the book. It will take me quite awhile to go through all the ideas that are contained in it! Even better then I expected.

Great book. Actually, I wasn't even looking for a book of this kind but came across it by chance. This book has so many useful ideas..... Is it not even about saving money, more about ideas to solve everyday problems and being able to do it without having to use harmful chemicals. I would advise it to everybody. The only thing I didn't like is the quality of the cover. I am just finishing reading it and the cover is already looking rather worn out. Just imagine after I have looked into it a lot of times looking for more solutions? It will probably desintegrate. Other than that.... if you have a house, a garden, kids, a garage, do DIY, cook, have health problems, want some beauty tips or anything else you are sure to find solutions in here! Well worth the money, I would say...... I wonder whether it's siter book "Extraordinary uses for ordinary things" brings a bit the same tips or completely different ones because in that case I might just buy that one too. The title of this one is More...... so it might mean that the other one has completely different ideas but you never know, I might just end up with two books that are more or less the same. If someone has the answer maybe they would like to pass it on to me...... The other one is two years older.

This book is great in concept, but impossible to use. The index is so poorly conceived, one wonders how it passed editorial review.
