Ordinary objects, frugal uses
Caught this list of ideas on Yahoo and thought it worth passing along, many of which are very good, many seem to be ones that our modern society has forgotten, but if you only get one or two ideas that help it's worthwhile in my opinion!

7. Okay...I tried out one of these.
And to my amazement it worked. Banana peels really do seem to remove warts! Whoa!

Now, this wasn't a totally controlled test. I had switched to a natural hemp oil soap at the same time.
