Customer Response

Extraordinary ways to save money for sure!
I thought now that I'm retired, I have time to look in to ways for saving money and saving the environment so, I bought the Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things and it's great. Very easy to read and great ideas for using items we already have on hand or that are inexpensive to purchase. You do feel better about what you're doing by using the suggested uses in this book. I'm glad I bought it and I recommend it to others.

Awesome!!!
This book is worth every penny! It has soo many useful uses for everyday things. Well worth the buy!!

Even older published books are useful today.
This great book is the perfect aid to cutting back on wasteful purchasing. It reminds us once again how to use ordinary household items to do more then what they were intended for.

extraordinary purchase
I received this book as a gift and was SO impressed with the ideas in it that I ordered one for my daughter--who happened to have just moved into her first home. You can solve almost any dilemma with the suggestions in this book. Money very well spent

Not New
This is a great book with lots of reminders of things we may have forgotten. So many are not new to me, as I am a 72 year old woman. We have used many of these hints for years. However, they have given me some more to think on and try. Whenever you use a book like this, you usually browse through it and don't end up using much of it. However, I try to check hints at least monthly and pick one or more to try. Soon the ones I try become a habit and save me money.
