Product DescriptionWith his trademark folksy wisdom, Earl Proulx tells you how to recycle those things we all have lying around the house into ingenious household solutions without spending money on fancy cleaning products or pricey gadgets. Some of Earl’s particular favorites are cat litter (as a cleaner for oil spills and as a base for a soothing facial mask) and, of course, vinegar (to clean just about anything, unclog showerheads, as well as trap fruit pests), duct tape (as both tick remover and a protection against blisters), and milk jugs (bird feeders and clothespin holders). His fun and inventive ideas also include: lAnt-proof your home with lemon juice lCover up furniture scratches with a dab of iodine lUse powdered milk to soothe sunburn and remove makeup lMake an earring holder out of window screen lRecycle bubble wrap for a toilet tank insulator Organized by location inside and outside of the house, this essential compendium will make you pause each time you start to throw something (old blue jeans, ice cube trays, coat hangers, egg cartons) out in the trash.

I bought this book as a Mother’s Day gift for someone extremely difficult to buy for. She absolutely loves it. She calls me to tell me that she learned something new, again, and that it really works. Thanks.

We grew up with grandparents who remembered the old ways and days before electricity and who also lived through the great depression. This is a good book, full of useful information and could have been written by my grandparents if they were still with us.

My mom has a copy of this book and I would always call her to ask her to look something up for me! I decided that I needed a copy of my own now that I own a home! Many of the little tricks in this book work and it was very well worth the money I spent!!!

A great book that shows you how to save money and solve common household problems with items you have lying around the house. I loved the bathroom chapter – dozens of ideas on how to pamper myself without having to spend a penny.
The chapter on gifts is worth the price of the book alone. I got lots of ideas for gifts and ideas for presenting them with panache without having to spend money on gift-wrap, bows, etc.
There are chapters on hobbies, gardening, saving money on celebrations and more. No area of home life is left uncovered by Earl.

In our current economic slump, a book of this type can make a big difference in our weekly income. The thousand plus practical ways to save money and become more “green” is well worth the price of the book.
The book is conveniently divided into these primary areas:
* Kitchen
* Bathroom
* Laundry Room
* Living & family room
* Bedroom
* Workshop & garage
* Outside the house
* Gardening
* Recreation, sports & hobbies
* Day trips, weekends & vacation travel
* Celebrations
* Gift giving
* Office
* Serendipity
In addition to these main categories, the front of the book breaks various items into an alphabetized list so you can easily find the pages which uses toothpaste, socks, vinegar, etc. , etc.
This is a very clever book that is also ingenious in the various ways ordinary items can be put to extraordinary uses. Also, I found the book to be laid out in a user friendly way with a lot of fun graphics. Besides the usefulness, it is a great, easy read on a rainy day.
I hope you find this review helpful.
