Loretta's House Hacks
Every trick from the House Hacks channel, in order and with the exact amounts: what to buy before winter, what keeps for years, what to freeze, what to regrow, what vinegar and peroxide replace, and the ten things I have never once paid for.
Loretta's Church Lady House Book is the main book of the House Hacks set: 5 books, $27 once, for all five.
Who I am
I'm Loretta, and I'm eighty-one. I was born on a farm outside Ames and married Harold, who farmed 160 acres where some years the corn paid and some years it didn't. So I learned to waste nothing.
For sixty years I ran the kitchen at our little Methodist church: two hundred people at a funeral dinner, a budget that wouldn't buy lunch for twelve at a restaurant, and a kitchen that had to be spotless before the family left. Harold has been gone nine years now, and I had to learn to cook for one. That's in here too.

Readers
These came in from people who bought the books and took the trouble to say how they got on. Their words, not mine.
What you get
Enough to take a thousand dollars a year off the grocery, heating and household bills, the way a farm wife did it. You look up the problem you have. You don't read it front to back.
Ten chapters, one for every video on the House Hacks channel: ten dollar-store buys before winter, 25 ways to stay warm for pennies, 15 foods that keep for years, 15 foods to freeze, 12 habits that make groceries last twice as long, 10 scraps that regrow, 15 jobs for vinegar, 15 for peroxide, the bathroom, and 10 things a farm wife never buys. Pantry, freezer and fridge charts to tape inside a cupboard.
Ten mixes you make instead of the packet, ten things you mend instead of replacing, ten ten-minute repairs a handyman charges sixty dollars to look at, and ten ways to use up the last ten percent of everything. When to call somebody, too.
Twelve rules for every store, what to buy at the dollar store and the warehouse club for one or two, the discount grocer, the month each staple hits its lowest price, and the price book.
Eight weeks of suppers for two: the menu, the shopping list of about fifty dollars and the recipes, with the leftovers planned in.
The two-week shelf, what to keep and throw out after a power cut, the freezer rule, frozen pipes, heat waves and the grab-and-go folder.
376 pages across the set. PDF files you download the minute you pay, to read on a phone, a tablet or a computer, or to print at home.
The arithmetic
I'm not asking you to take the number on faith. Here's where it comes from, for one small household at today's prices in a small Iowa town.
Your prices aren't my prices, and every house is different. The House Book has the same sums laid out trick by trick, so you can check them against your own receipts before you believe a word of mine.
