I have to tell a really neat story. When I was a child my parents weren’t into spending tons of money on air conditioning so with that being said there were things that we had to do. One of the things we had to do was put a fan in …

The Dollar Tree carries these two quart plastic pictures for just one dollar a piece and for a dollar, the plastic picture has quite a bit to offer! First of all, what’s really nice about the plastic picture is that it has both millimeter and cup measurements. It’s real …

The reason I like these beverage cups from the Dollar Tree is because they do a better job of keeping my warm drinks warm in the winter and my cold drinks cool in the summer. The cups are insulated and because of that, the cups do a better job …

These thirteen inch red napkins are sold at the Dollar Tree for a dollar and twenty come in a pack. We purchased these napkins once for a summer get-together, along with red paper plates and red utensils. We weren’t entirely pleased with the napkins though, and so I don’t …

Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer Deluxe is my first juicer. It does the job well, but then I’m only a moderate juicer. My household uses it maybe once or twice a month for the extra health benefits. It does what it’s supposed to do, meaning it will juice fruits …

This product has saved me a lot of time in the laundry room. I didn’t expect it to work so well at releasing wrinkles from my clothes, but it really does. Before I used this product, I would use a regular spray bottle filled with water if …

When I first saw this product, I knew I had to have it. It’s a toilet deodorizer and air freshener in one. When I used to work in an office, we all had to share the same bathroom, and we also each had to take turns cleaning …

Our family spends a lot of time camping and traveling. We also like to go to the beach during the summer. I found the perfect cooler for these occasions in this 2-in-1 cooler bag. This bag has two separate fully zippered compartments in one bag. The …

I saw this product featured on a popular television show recently and I thought it was a really good idea. The concept of the product is that it is a pillow of sorts, but it stays cool at night. You place it between your pillow case and regular
pillow, …

After buying a new house which has all stainless steel appliances, I realized that I needed something to clean the front of all of these appliances. They never get really dirty or mucky, but they do seem to get fingerprints or wet hand marks occasionally, which do not …

In my spare time, I like to sew and when it comes to sewing I need the good stuff. The Brother CS6000i Computerized Sewing Machine is one of my favorite little items to sew with. It makes things a lot easier than using a needle and thread. I hate …

I recently ordered this product on the Walmart website because I was stocking up on some camping supplies, and I came across this interesting product. Although most campgrounds offer a picnic table at each campsite, I thought it would be a good idea to have an extra one since …

I have been looking for solar tiki torches that I have seen in the evening in front of people’s houses in my neighborhood. I recently got a set of two solar tiki style torch lights for only 17 dollars at OSH. They were a really good deal, and I …

It seems that I can never have enough flameless candles. Last time I was at my local Dollar Tree I came across these battery operated LED pillar candles when I was shopping for home fragrance. I immediately fell in love with their cute little 2 by 2 inch size. …

I got these around the holidays the Christmas before last. My idea was to supplement my holiday lighting with solar, save some money and give my older home’s out dated electrical system a break.
I liked that the solar collector could be placed in a spot where it received …

In my opinion Method takes the cake for best design. They get the award for making the most beautiful looking disposable hand soap dispenser I have ever seen. When they came out with this hand soap in this beautiful bamboo green Green Tea and Aloe scent I thought, finally …

I have always had a love/ hate relationship with citronella candles. They are really effective at repelling insects and I prefer having them around in summer. Sometimes the smell and the smoke is a little much for me. And I hate the cheap look of these candles. I’m a …

This lamp was purchased to be a reading lamp that would not disturb people who were trying to watch TV. The living room in my home is such a multifunctional space that people are often working and playing at the same time.
I noticed in the store that it …

I got this processor to help me in cooking as it has so many uses and functions from cutting, chopping, liquefying to grinding. It has also so many accessories from being a blender, juice extractor to even making a pizza dough.
My first complaint is that the machine itself …

Usually, when a house’s heating system is run on gas, there is a government body which checks for the safety level of gas leaks. I don’t exactly remember the figures but our old system (Buderus) was still in conformity with the allowable levels of gas emissions. However, when the …

Well my family and I wanted a new washer on the strength that our new/old one ended going bad. I wasn’t sure what happened because we had only had it for a year before it went out. I think that it was time to upgrade our purchase anyway. So we …

My family and I love to cook food especially stemmed rice. The best thing to use is the Wok but finding the right one is a big deal. It took me a while to find something that would give me the taste and results I was looking for. The …

Home improvement is something everyone has to do in their lifetime, especially if they own a home. I just bought my home about 5 years ago and have already come to a decision that I want to actually change up some things.
I wanted to change my kitchen around …

Our old garage door motor was too noisy that every time someone opens it, the noise could be heard by the entire household if not half of the neighbourhood. No one actually complained and we must’ve have been one of the first ones on our street to install an …

I only come home twice or thrice a year at most. The whole year no one is inside the house. The main problem is it becomes quite visible to passers by that no one is at home for long periods of time as all the shutters are down. …

It seems that whatever vacuum cleaner I buy quits working correctly in just a few years. I thought that the better vacuums (more expensive) would last longer. This just doesn’t seem to be the case. So after realizing that my last vacuum was just not doing the job, I …

This Bosch Dishwasher is the first dishwasher that I ever have (use). I never have dishwasher before but when we moved back to Europe again, we thought that we should get one dishwasher to make the housework easier for me. Especially we have small children. It will save …

These plastic spoons work just as well as the plastic forks sold at Walgreens under the Walgreens brand, and they cost the exact same amount, ninety-nine cents, for twenty-four. In fact, I would go as far to say that these spoons are better than the plastic forks, but that …

I can get twenty-four of these plastic forks from Walgreens for just ninety-nine cents and while that might not seem like a lot of forks for that price, these forks are in fact heavy duty! I have found that I can use the same plastic fork, after its been …

Walgreen’s brand of paper plates run for a dollar seventy-nine for seventy-two, although a lot of times I can get them on sale for ninety-nine cents! Regardless of the price that I pay on these paper plates, I feel they’re worth the money. These paper plates help to cut …

The mixer comes with three different types of beaters that can be changed out to mix your ingredients; …

Whenever I need paper plates, I always go to Walgreens. Walgreens gives me a reasonable price of dollar seventy-nine on seventy-two paper plates. The nine inch paper plates are large enough to hold a couple pieces of pizza or a hamburger and some fries or a couple of waffles …

When I bought this air freshener for the first time I found it pretty interesting, as it works with batteries. With only two small batteries you can program it to release the fragrance that’s loaded on it in three different periods of time. It can be once every 9, …

I just purchased a new pedestal fan after my second tower fan inexplicably stopped working. The Climate Keeper 16 inch Oscillating Pedestal Fan was quite a bargain at 18.00 USD, and turned out to be even more powerful than the costlier tower fans.
Living in a …

I used to be a loyal consumer to a few high end brands, but I’ve been using the cheapest laundry products I could get away with since the recession. I’ve tried quite a few “off” brands, usually found at discount stores or dollar stores, on sale. The one that …

I’ve used this brand of matches for years. I just always liked them, and in many ways I prefer them to the smaller book style matches and cigarette lighters. I also like this larger sized box. It feels comfortable in my hand and never gets lost. And the large …

This is the only air freshener that I’ll use and the reason for that is most air fresheners put off a very overwhelming and a lot of times artificial odor that makes breathing in the room that it was sprayed uncomfortable. This air freshener however didn’t leave me feeling …

I must confess. I bought this in the kitchen wear section of Kohl’s without knowing it was a pastry spatula. I thought it was a regular spatula. I bought it as a replacement for my favorite thin metal spatula which I used all the time and finally broke away …

You probably can not imagine that the mosquitoes are so crazy here. You can not count anymore how many mosquitoes you will see in a day. I don’t know why but it seems that the neighborhood are a bit dirty than we thought. Anyway, to solve this problem, we …

The As Seen On TV bottle caps seemed to be a genius product with the ability to seal unfinished pop cans preventing the gas to leave and make the drink un-enjoyable. Basically it is like a lid that goes on top of the can and sealing it. When the …

After having owned a lot of irons in my lifetime, I have found all of them to have a very limited lifespan; way more limited than I would expect from a household electrical appliance.
Although the Kenwood 2400 Watts Anti-Drip Iron had me spending much more money than I had …
