    • Over 75 hacks that environmentally-aware households use to live well while living ecologically and frugally
    • The frugal householder’s tips and tricks for saving money on cleaning products
    • The creative householder’s tricks for transforming usable (but unused) objects into something useful (and used)

      DIY Household Hacks - Jessica Meyer

      Introduction

      Trying to live within a budget is more and more challenging, it seems. Especially so if your family is still growing.

      Trying to keep a clean – but also an organized – house is a real chore most of the time, but some of the tips we will be giving you can make it (more) fun, and affordable.

      Affordable? Yes. Money doesn’t grow on trees, goes the saying, so why do we spend billions on cleaning products?

      What if we told you how to save up to $1,500 per year, in household cleaning and maintenance products alone? You would jump at the chance to see what we have!

      Organized? What if we told you that it is really easy to get creatively organized at almost no cost and have Objets d’Art in your home that you made yourself by repurposing items you just didn’t want to take to the dump?

      The extra bonus here is that you are not only saving money, but you are wisely and creatively living ecologically. If Save the Planet is not just a boring phrase to you, we’ll give you some ways to put your ideology in action.
