When I first bought the Spiderco204 MF Tri-Angle Sharpmaker System for my husband, I was confused. I did not understand why it would cost fifty dollars for one simple knife sharpener. Of course, I have seen the prices. Some of these products run up to over one hundred dollars. …

A $40 cake pan, my ‘careful’ hubby was distraught when I told him but after several uses I think I’ve convinced him that it was worth the money - not least because it’s saved us having to buy two birthday cakes so far, with another birthday (and giant cupcake) …

We received this juicer as a wedding gift a few years ago, which we registered for. It looks good in our kitchen and does work well, but we hardly ever use it.
This is only a citrus juicer - it has the plastic knob on top to put your …

Honestly, I never thought I’d ever want to wax poetic about a grill, but this one makes me almost want to be a real poet so I can extol its many virtues with the proper language. But honestly, as cliche as it might sound, it literally did change our lives, …

Almost a week ago I bought my first bottle of Dawn dish washing detergent or liquid. This compact bottle is 375ml and is bright blue in colour.
The label brags that this is a ‘concentrated formula’, and that is certainly accurate. So far I have done approximatly 15 sinkfuls of …

West Blend-Espresso/Coffee Maker is a two in one machine. In my opinion, this device is not worth the $50 that you have to pay for it. That is actually a very economic price for a machine that can either make an espresso or a pot of coffee, depending on …

It has a toasting rack and a little baking pan. There are two dials, one …

I try to be eco-friendly whenever possible. I walk everywhere or take the bus and buy products with containers that can be used for something else when empty. I also carry a duffle bag attached to my stroller for grocery shopping. I do as much as possible to reduce …

I bought Ontel Fiber Miracle Cloth for $10 online. Here is my review.
These microfiber cloths are larger because they measure 9.5 x 2 x 8 inches, however, they feel nice ont he skin, and they have a thickness of 1/4′, so that makes them hold a lot …
