i received in the mail the other day, a trial offer for a book called extraordinary uses for ordinary things, and im seriously considering ordering it. thought i would check on here to see if any of you have read it or have it and if its worth it or not.

LOL, I know this does not answer your question--BUT...

I had never heard of it, but was curious and found this from Reader's Digest.
http://www.rd.com/content/openConten...ontentId=19457 It looks really interesting. This link shows some of the "uses" of ordinary things. Some I knew, a lot I did not. Good tips on the site by the way

I probably would not buy this book but would definately get it from the library though when it is a available.

well if i order it, i get to preview it for 14 days and i get to keep the 2 free gifts, which are the happy cheapskate- 101 simple no sacrifice ways to spend far less money and 40 all time best anti clutter tricks. so even if i do get it and find it useless, i can always send it back and keep the other 2 books. so im still considering it...

Interesting article, though I don't quite think the washer salad spinner is all that frugal.

Oh. Good deal. It sounds as if you really want this book. Why not go ahead and take look at it. If you decide to keep you can. Very often one good hint can save you hundreds of dollars.
