All In Good Time Book Review

All In Good Time: When to Save, Stock Up, and Schedule Everything for Your Home by Tara Kuczykowski was in the new book section so I picked it up.  I wasn't really sure about it but I thought that it seemed good and it was written by a blogger that I had heard of before so seemed like a great choice.
The book provided information on when it was best to buy sheets to get a new bank account.  The chapters are as follows:
Your Home
Backyard
Basement
Bathroom
Bedroom
Dining Room
Home Office
Kitchen
Nursery/ Kids Rooms
Rec Room
Holiday and Event Planning
Each chapter is broken down into things that take place in this room or area.  It provides a lot of sale ideas on when you can get sheets, blankets and other things on sale.  It additionally provides homemade cleaning product recipes and tips.  Make sure that you microwave your sponges or wash them in the dishwasher to clean weekly.  In addition, clean a stinky microwave by microwaving 1/2 c water and 2 tbsp (I think) coffee grounds for 5 minutes.  I am going to try that the next time that I can't get the burnt popcorn smell out!! 
I read the book cover to cover but found it to not have that much information that wasn't common sense or available through many sources.  If you want to cut to the heart of the matter, start with the helpful recipe guide at the end with the recipes for homemade cleaners but most of the information could be found on the Internet if you don't want to pick up the book.  There wasn't any real added benefit from reading the book because it wasn't overly entertaining or in depth but it was slightly interesting. 
Did you read it?  Did you find any interesting tidbits? Let me know if you check it out!!
