Great Household Help

Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things offers recipies for many environment friendly cleaning products, quick self help, beauty remedies ,and even introduces ways to entertain kids budget friendly.
Some of the remedies explained are well known, others seem a little far off, but all in all this book certainly can help to cut cost of cleaning products etc.
If you are willing to experience "new" methods, that were old timers for your grandparents this is the book to get. It also is fun just to cross read, and be in awe of some of the things one can do.

It delivered as promised

This book delivered as promised. There is much that I already knew, some I had forgotten, and a great deal that was knew to me and extremely helpful. I will keep this book close and refer to it often. I have passed along many helpful hints to my daughters.
Of course, IMHO anything the Reader's Digest does is done correctly.

Great Resource for Frugal Families

Fantastic! "Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things" by the editors of Reader's Digest doesn't just provide a list of uses for household items that many of us are already familiar with; items such as vinegar, baking soda and dare I say it... DUCT TAPE (which by the way is denoted in this book with a star as a "Super Item" which means it has an amazingly large number of uses--they list 43 of them--and they are good ones). This household resource is anything but ordinary! It includes items that you would never even think to use for other things than what they are intended for. How about baby oil, baby powder, baby wipes, basters, beans (dried), bubble pack, and butter? And that's only about one third of the letter "B" section!!! Ordinary household items are indexed well throughout this book and are easy to find and use, I love it! This resource is a must have frugal families! I picked up my copy on sale at our local Barnes & Noble when one of our children was getting a book for school, but Amazon always has great prices and is usually my first recommendation! -
