Multitasking card table

We bought this standard early in our marriage. I think we paid $50 for the table and two matching chairs. That was four years ago. The table has had many uses in our house since then.

• Dining table – Now we have a nice wooden table and chairs, but the folding table was our main dining table for a couple years. Not the fanciest arrangement, but it worked.
• Homework table – While my wife was working on her second degree (interior design), the folding table served as an extension to her desk.
• Craft table – My wife regularly uses the table for craft projects.
• Desk – Right now the folding table is the desk in my home office.

My simple is a great example. I bought this kit over a year ago for around $30. Since then, I haven’t paid for a hair cut. A typical guy’s cut (plus tip) costs around $13. If you get your hair cut every two weeks, that is a savings of $338 per year.

How many items have you purchased that gave you a 10X return on your investment? Probably not many. If you’re looking to cut your own hair, I recommend a kit like the .

What about you?

Have you made any good purchases like this? A small investment can sometimes be really smart. It just depends on what you buy.
