Yankee Magazine's Vinegar, Duct Tape, Milk Jugs & More: 1,001 Ingenious Ways to Use Common Household Items to Repair, Restore, Revive, or Replace Just

I bought this book as a Mother's Day gift for someone extremely difficult to buy for. She absolutely loves it. She calls me to tell me that she learned something new, again, and that it really works. Thanks.

This book is very handy as we all try to cut back on spending and retain our money. Even if you don't use every suggestion, it is fun and educational just to know about some new ways to use things we all have around the house. I was mistakenly sent the wrong book from the reseller but they handled the situation quickly and at no expense to me-therefore I would give this reseller 4 stars!

This book has a lot of useful tips on how to fix things around the home from gardening to laundry to craft ideas using items you already more then likely have. I say it is a must have in any book collection

We grew up with grandparents who remembered the old ways and days before electricity and who also lived through the great depression. This is a good book, full of useful information and could have been written by my grandparents if they were still with us.

This book is divided into about fourteen sections and deals with many different parts of the home. Like the book LIVING WELL ON A SHOESTRING, it puts strong emphasis on saving money. But this book puts more emphasis on recycling common objects around the house and using them in a plethora of ways.His office suggestions are worth the price of the whole book! He suggests using a current glossy calendar for a mouse pad for the computer, using extra envelopes that come with greeting cards as storage for computer disks in file folders -- and show you how to specially cut them for the purpose. He suggests using a dish rack for temporary sorting of file folders. And get this -- for car enthusiasts, he suggests using a clean distributor cap as a pen and pencil holder and conversation piece!This book is a smorgasbord of great ideas for every part of the home. If you put these ideas to use, you'll get back the price of the bok many times!
