Its ok but not worth the priceAugust 26, 2008 2 out of 14 found this review helpful
This writer can be quite good but find his tips are soon out of date.He never responds to queries so if somethings changed i.e. an interest rate,then you might only find out when its too late,also he is NOT a financial advisor in any proffesional capacity,so best to take his advice with a pinch of salt.Apart from that he usually finds tips and advice from members of his forum then makes it look like he's found the advice
Good bookAugust 1, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Just like the other two books by Martin Lewis, it has great ideas for saving cash.
Buy it and you wont be disappointed.
FANTASTIC little book with loads of good tips.April 9, 2008 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book has loads of little tips for getting round things in everyday living. Its Chaptered with Bills, Cleaning, DIY, presents & Gifts and even a very good chapter on Xmas! There are loads of good tips on reducing bills, cleaning and stains etc. There's one tip which me and my family and friends love - Dishwasher Tablets - break them in half and use only half of it in the dishwasher. Me and my family thought what a load of rubbish. But we tried it only to find it still gives a good wash - just like normal in fact! So the 50 tablets we have will actually give us 100 washes ! Reading more of the book you'll find more great one's like that. Here's another strange one - but it does work - to remove dirty fingerprints on walls use a piece of white bread!

i must admit this book didt work for me.but its probably because im such a thrifty person any way,there was nothing to learn.i almost wanted to add a few of my own tips,if your young and starting out or in debt then its the book for you.
Useful for the retired etcMarch 2, 2008 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I found this book had helpful tips for saving money in an old fashioned way however a lot of them ie baking your own bread etc are very time consuming. I was slightly dissapointed with the book as i felt it would incorporate more modern fresh thinking ideas however i would still recommend the book and feel that if you have the time you can make substantial savings
