I love all of Mary Hunt's stuff. This book is nice to have as a reference around the house for a bunch of things you have to deal with on an everday basis. Get it, you'll like it. I also recommend any of her other books. I'm glad she brings God into her everyday life and her financial advice, also.

I love how pratical this book is. It's a fast read with a lot of useful tips that I can use right now. (Lord knows I need help).

As a new subscriber to the newspaper, I often found myself clipping out Mary's "Everyday Cheapskate" column. Not long ago the column mentioned the release of her new book of greatest tips so I quickly went online and requested if from my local library. I was number 5 of 8 holds. In the meantime I poured through all the books the library had on household, organizational and money saving tips. All in all, I went through approximately 40-45 "tip" books from the 1970's to the present day. While I acquired a lot of great tips, I felt as if I was basically re-reading the same book over and over. It seemed like the authors had read the same books I had, copied tip for tip and then tossed a few of their own in. That is why when I finally worked my way down the hold list and got my hands on Mary's greatest tips I can honestly say I found the diamond in the rough. I took a full 15 pages of notes. Yes, some of the tips were repeated in other books and sources, but for the vast majority, Mary's book is full of unique and new tips...tips that will save you money and time and will also make your life, and quite possibly your cooking, better. I ordered myself and 11 friends and family members our own personal copies of this book. Fourteen days on loan from the library isn't long enough...I now consider it my PTR (personal tip reference book) that I'm sure will benefit my family and I 365 days a year. Everyday Cheapskate's Greatest Tips is definately worth 12 bucks. They say you get what you pay for...well, if you buy this book you'll get what you paid for...and a whole lot more.
