Save: Your Money, Your Time, Your Planet
The Queens of Clean show you how to save money, time and the planet by finding new and inspired uses for common household items.
Save: Your Money, Your Time, Your Planet is full of clever ideas to help you get the most from everyday household items. In the process you'll save money, save time and save the planet!
These days, once we've finished with something, we tend to throw it away rather than consider if it has another use. In Save: Your Money, Your Time, Your Planet you'll find out how to turn a lampshade into a wastepaper bin, create a mosaic from broken crockery, and make lip gloss from the last bit of your favourite lipstick. Learn how to revamp your tired-looking couch, how to tenderise meat using paw paw pips, and what to do with old ladders.
There are tips on how to get the very last bit out of bottles and the many uses for old corks. Read advice on how to be a smart shopper, and find out how to make a leg of lamb last all week! You'll rediscover the lost arts of frugality and invention and have fun in the process.
Save: Your Money, Your Time, Your Planet takes you through your house room-by-room with a raft of ideas for finding an uncommon use for things you commonly use. Remove the burden of living on a tight budget. Find out how to spend your time creating rather than consuming. And help the planet in the process.

These guys were all the rage about 10 years ago (I guess Pinterest wasn't a thing back then). I have 3 of their books: this one, spotless and speed cleaning.
"SAVE - your money, your time, your planet" is a collection of tidbits and tips to reuse or recycle common household items.
I'm calling It, it's 40% common sense, 50% stuff you would never do (like reusing empty toilet rolls or making wind chimes out of old forks) and 10% really useful stuff. Handy to have as a reference guide. No need to plough the whole way through.

Minus one star for 'an old shaving mirror on a stick helps children see around corners'.
