Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - love this book!
Both my 12 year old daughter and myself love this book. It has great ideas!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty good
Yes, this book is mostly recipes but it does have recipes for just about everything we buy ready made like BBQ sauce, ketchup, hummus, pancake mix, salad dressings and such. It also gives recipes for homemade dog and cat food which isn't cheap by any strech but if you want to make sure your pets are getting high quality ingrediants why not?
The problem is I don't know if all these "do it yourself" recipes work and frankly I really question if some of them do. For example, Baking soda+Vinegar= ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Could have been so much better.
Over 1/2 of the book are food recipes. Wow, did *you* know you could make *muffins* at **home** and *save money*? Wow. I know *I* sure didn't. (sarcasm_mode:off)

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Theres something in it for everyone
The book was quite good there are all kind of product "recipes" in there from health and beauty aids to pet food and snacks!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Useful Book with some Really Good Recipes
While some of the products are questionably cheaper than commercial products, most of the recipes I have tried are solid, reliable, and effective. I personally like the homemade laundry soap recipe out of here; it's as effective as the premium brands, but costs about as much as the bargain brands to make.

While I doubt I buy the fresh tomatoes to make and process my own ketchup, there are still many other treats that I will continue making. A good purchase for the price.
