Product Description "From Ketchup to Pretzels, Shampoo to Window Cleaner, Bug Repellant to Cough Drops"
Making the things you use everyday is just so much more rewarding than buying them. This guide shows you how fun, easy, and frugal it can be. Start in the kitchen: spaghetti sauce, salad dressing, chicken broth, ice cream all taste better and cost less when you make them at home. Move to the cleaning shelf. Store-bought cleaners are toxic and outrageously expensive! Homemade shows you how to make them at a fraction of the cost, with the same cleaning potency, but safer and more fragrant! Tablecloths, trivets, curtains, toys, wall art -- learn how to make all of these quickly, cheaply, and with flair.
very interesting...June 17, 2009 eager reader(USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a 379 page book split in three sections: "In the Kitchen", "Health and Beauty Care for You and Yours", and ""Around the House". There ARE alot of food recipes. It's also a fun quirky read, filled with what looks like practical concoctions to make your own cleaning supplies. I admit I haven't used it alot yet, but I've enjoyed reading through it so far.
Not necessarily what you thinkJune 7, 2009 Puterdame(MA, USA) I bought this book in the hopes of leaving all sorts of stuff on the grocery shelves because I would be making my own.....unbeknownst to me, the first, oh say, half of this book is recipes for food. There are some really good tips, hints, and recipes for household products too though, so for those who are looking for a quirky, intersting read, this is it. I'm not disappointed by any means and so give it the 4 start rating.

Reader's Digest HomemadeApril 13, 2009 SHIRLEY SIMPSON(Florence, Texas USA) Love this book. This is actually the second copy of this book that I have purchased. When my grand daughter-in-law scanned mine, she liked it so much. She has 4 children with one on the way and she is all into saving money and using safe products. This book has it all! So I ordered one for her birthday because I did not want to part with mine.
More Recipes than I Imagined!April 3, 2009 QueenMommy(OH, USA) This book provides more recipes than I imagined possible! From cooking & baking good-for-you stuff, to making your own cleaning or health & beauty products - these recipes are practical, simple, and designed to save money! This makes it well worth the purchase price!!!
