Okay, short review because it is a short book.I liked this. The author has spent a day comparing prices at popular stores in the United States to come up with a list of best buys for pretty much everything needed to set up and clean a house. The list includes cleaning items, bathroom items and kitchen stuff like pots and pans. It does not cover food or clothing.The author explains the concept of comparing price per weight, in this case, cost per ounces. They also explain that little extras like scent, packaging and that sort of stuff is normally irrelevant. It is performance and price that counts.The downside to this otherwise excellent little booklet is that the prices fluctuate, and it is only current for now. Also, it is probably only relevant for the United States, and possibly just a portion of the United States.I thought it was a good, short read that most importantly explains how to compare on weight and why.
