Customer Reviews

Its ok but not worth the price
This writer can be quite good but find his tips are soon out of date.He never responds to queries so if somethings changed i.e. an interest rate,then you might only find out when its too late,also he is NOT a financial advisor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 book
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.
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!
