Any Tightwad Gazette fans?

My brother and I used to make our little sister do the dumpster diving. We would toss her in a dumpster, have her throw out all the aluminum cans, then pull her out and clean her up before mom found out

I have the third book, I love most of her ideas, but I do have to say in the first book, I think, she talks about the bread bag diaper cover - she used it in a pinch - but wow, I so would never have thought to put a bread bag over a kids cloth diaper . . I truely admire the way she can cost things out and really break down if something is a savings or not.

LOL...true, but it is still interesting. I wont be making anything out of dryerlint anytime soon, but I do admire the creativity

I have never read these books, but would like to..

When I was in Art in high school.. We made home made paper with dryer lint.. Well at least half of it was dryer lint.. The other half was recycled paper.. Some kids actually started doing their own laundry.. Seperating the colors.. So they could get different color of lint.. Then it would make the home made paper different color.. It was kind of neat.. If you used the lint in the right amount.. You couldnt even tell what the paper was made out of..
