Your videos are free. Why would I buy the books?
They are, and they always will be. But a video is something you watch once and half remember on laundry day. The books are the whole library in order: 253 numbered methods sorted by the problem, so when the towels go stiff at seven in the morning you turn to the page instead of hunting through videos. The plan and the printed helpers do not exist anywhere on the channel at all. The videos are the stories. The books are the shelf you reach for.
Can these books really save me $1,500 a year?
I do not care for big round numbers nobody can check, so here is mine, added up line by line. This is a family of four, at the shelf prices I have been seeing this summer. It shows you where the money is sitting. The how is what the books are for.
- The cleaning aisle, 14 sprays and powders you quit buying$213
- The food that gets bought and never eaten, trimmed by 15 percent$437
- What the coffee habit costs, counted cup by cup$416
- The produce aisle, and what the convenience trays carry$208
- The thermostat, in the hours nobody is home to feel it$96
- Everything sitting plugged in doing nothing$82
- One dial on the washing machine$66
- The bean and rice shelf$65
- One number on the water heater$61
- The broth and stock shelf$57
- The cheese case$36
- The seasoning packet rack$33
- The salad dressing shelf$31
- What it adds up to$1,801
And that leaves out the lip balm, the makeup remover, the heel cream, the weed killer, the sticker remover, the dishwasher tablets, the cereal box, the carton of orange juice, and the whole meat counter chapter. So when I say fifteen hundred, I am rounding down on purpose.
Now the honest part. Not every line is your house. If coffee is not your habit, that $416 is not your money to save, and the food line is the national average for four people, not a promise about your kitchen. The bill numbers are not mine either, they come from the Department of Energy, Energy Star and the EPA. Every one of those lines is a chapter with the steps written out plain, and the cleaning aisle by itself covers the price of the first book inside a month.
How do I get the books after I buy?
Right away. The moment your payment goes through, you get a download link on the screen and in your email. No waiting on the mail, no shipping to pay.
What can I read them on?
Anything you already have. They are PDF files, so they open on your phone, your tablet, your laptop, or a home computer. Save them once and they are yours to keep.
Are these printed books?
No, these are digital books you download and keep. That is what lets me sell them for so little. If you like paper, you can print any page you want, and the bonus cheat sheet and cards are made to be printed and hung up.
Is my card information safe?
Yes. The checkout is handled by Gumroad, a secure payment company that thousands of independent authors sell through. Your card number never touches my website, and I never see it. Your books land in your email the minute the payment goes through.
I'm in my 60s or 70s. Is this for me?
Oh, more than anybody. Truth is, most of what is in these books came from folks your age, and from my own grandmother. I made the print big and the steps plain, no tiny type and no computer know-how needed. You save the files once and read them right on your phone or print the pages you like and keep them by the sink. If you ever get stuck, you write me and I will walk you through it.
Who is this for?
Anybody who is tired of watching the grocery and household bill creep up every year. If you like plain, no-nonsense ways to do more with what you already own, you will feel right at home here.
Will I get updates?
Yes. If I fix a page or add to a book, you get the newer version at no extra charge. Same download link, fresh file.
What if I can't open the files?
Email me at hello@thehannahbrooks.com and I will get you sorted. There is a real person on this end, and it matters to me that you get every page you paid for.
What if it is not for me?
Then you get your money back. Give the books a week, and if they are not for you, just email me within 7 days and I will refund you, no hard feelings. I would rather you be happy than hold onto a few dollars.
