Pinterest: Friend or Foe?

I've spent hours checking out Pinterest today. Of course, that is after hours of working on finances. Povery combined with checking out the things I'd love to buy. Sigh. Probably a mistake. 
Sure, there are lots of exercise plans and inspirational quotes. There are lots of recipes for healthy food. There are lots of how to's and instructions for things I want to do. 
On the other hand, there are lots of things I want to buy, yearn to buy and neeeeeeed to buy. But no money for the buying. 
So, I'm joining the movement. I'm going on the search for poor man versions of these things. For instance, good old pinterest showed me how to make a cheap leather cleaner. 1/4 cup olive oil with 1/2 cup vinegar in a spray container. Leather cleaner for cheap! Ignore the spot Jenny started chewing. Focus on the pretty shine on the leather.
