Reviews

"Chock full of interesting, useful and (occasionally) bizarre tips for everything from your household to your finances and your car, Mary Hunt's Cheaper, Better, Faster (Revell, $14.99, 400 pages, ISBN 9780800721442) is an incredibly thorough amalgamation of ideas to make your life exactly that--cheaper, better and faster. Though some of the tips were hard to understand--I'm still grappling with the logistics of a tip involving frozen fish and a milk carton-- most of them were enlightening and helpful, and the book is one I would encourage anyone to keep on hand. Need to clean your microwave? Hunt's suggestion to 'stir 2 tablespoons
baking soda into a cup of water. Set in the microwave and allow to boil for at least 5 minutes," remove, and wipe down, got my own microwave clean when years of struggling with cloths and frustration couldn't. The book could benefit from an index of sorts, but a quick skim through your
chapter of choice should be enough to obtain whatever tip you're looking for. Whether you need advice on holiday decorating or renter's insurance, Cheaper, Better, Faster is a great resource to have in your library."
