African Wild Child Handwash Blast Strawberry
The original reason for me buying this product was its incredible value. A 500ml bottle for only R20. That is 200ml more than most leading liqud handwash brands.
I switch to liquid hand wash while I was at university. I was sharing a house with a room mate and realised …
Fit & Fresh Warm Soup Container
This ten dollar container doesn’t contain hot liquid, and that’s a very bad thing! Neither the top lid nor the bottom compartment lid fit secure enough where the contents are going to be contained one-hundred percent of the time. If I fill this soup container with soup or chili …
Dyson DC30 Vacuum Cleaner
Some time back, my previous vacuum cleaner failed, and since in my household I have kids and a dog, I had to get one in a rush. A vacuum cleaner is one of those things that I simply can’t do without in the house; with the kids spilling things …

Intex Pool 18′ x 48″

Windex Vinegar Multi Purpose Spray

The Dipr Cookie Spoon from Grommet
Just when I was finally starting to come to terms with the fact that the likely hood of ever being able to dip my oreo cookies a few inches below my glass of milk because the rim stops my hand from going any further, was never going to happen …
Glade Air Infusions Air Freshner

Co-op 60 watt pearl lightbulbs
Although we are all now being encouraged to move over to the more modern CFL type of energy saving lightbulbs, some people still prefer to use the old-fashioned incandescent type for as long as they remain on the market. At the end of 2009, the 100 watt type were …
Scott Bathroom Tissue
When I use bathroom tissue, I look at a few different qualities. I am not very picky, but do not like thin tissues that are rough and unbearable. I have recently started to purchase more expensive tissue brands because some of the generic ones were not making me feel …

Simple Solution Stain and Odor Remover

Electrolux EW30DS65GS oven and stove top range
I want to be the one to say that when it comes to this purchase my wife suckered me into this whole buy. I’m not sure what I was thinking but I knew that this stove was not conventional at all. Not something that I would have bought …
As Seen On TV Glass Wash’R
I got this Glass Washer by As Seen On TV. The price is only $8. I got it when I walked in their store. To me, I hate cleaning and washing, especially glass cups. It’s really hard to reach the very bottom of the cups since the mouth/ opening …
My Kid’s First Cotton Top Mattress Protector Saddle Style

Ajax Triple Action Dish Soap in Orange
I picked this soap up at the nearby Save A Lot when I was out of dish soap and didn’t feel like driving out to Target or a larger grocery store. Since the store’s selection is smaller, I decided to just go for something inexpensive that smells good. What …
Worx Trivac
I came across the Worx Trivac on television. I watched the paid program and decided to buy one. I’m not a big believer in paid programming, but this one convinced me. The Worx Trivac is a vacuum, blower, and mulcher all combined into one light weight machine that is …
Promix Proffesional Mixer
Have you every heard of this Promix Proffesioal Mixer Product? It’s not a kind of mixer that we normally use when we want to make or bake a cake. But this is a very high-tech mixer. Actually it should say that it’s a professional blender. Because most of the …

Crazy glue
Crazy Glue has been out for many years now and I bet people don’t realize that it is the best glue to put on artificial nails other than the ones they sell at the cosmetic counter. It at one time sold for $3.00 a small tube but now …
Pampered Chef Cutting Edge Apple Wedger
I bought Pampered Chef Cutting Edge Apple Wedger at a Pampered Chef party, to replace my old “no-name” apple cutter & corer that had fallen apart. The apple wedger was $11.50, which is a bit expensive, but I figured it was probably worth the money since it was made …
Dawn Botanicals dishwashing liquid

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day All Purpose Cleaner
I bought Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day All Purpose Cleaner for $40, with a pack of 6 a few months ago. Here is my review.

Tide
I use Tide powders and bars for my laundry but I realized however that it does not really clean clothes as efficiently like it says so on advertisements. On commercials it would show a dark ring on the collar area and after just one quick wash with Tide it …
Flotec 1hp Submersible pump

Zojirushi Bento Lunch Jar
My better half is always either skipping lunch while working or else he eats something quick and fattening to tide him over until he gets home at night.
For one thing, not eating all day makes him super irritable and for another, he isn’t as sharp, can’t concentrate to his …

Top Innovations SF-275 Steam Cleaner
We got this steam cleaner/vacuum with the hope that it would clean our tile bathrooms and kitchen floor. To say we have been disappointed would be a understatement. The cleaning surface of the mop head is too small. So small in fact that you have to wear yourself out …
Krups Steam Espresso Machine XP1020
If you’re a real gourmet or coffee fan you’re not going to be satisfied with this purchase. In the hierarchy of espresso machines (if such hierarchy exists) this one owns the lowest level. It doesn’t mean that this espresso machine is of the bad quality or has any kind …

Sainsbury’s Toilet Limescale Remover

DG Home Heavy Duty Batteries 1.5 Volts
Like everyone, I have plenty of electrics in my home. To keep a lot of them running, I need batteries. Though batteries are a necessity, I have never felt it is necessary to spend 5 or 6 dollars on them. When I was shopping around a local dollar store, …
Coleman 54 watt solar back-up kit
I have to start off by saying I LOVE this kit. I use the 3 panels hooked up to a single 100amp hour deep cycle battery. The panels are built fairly sturdy with their aluminum/plastic frame. You will have to make a mount system for them. I used wood …
Pledge Clean and Shine in orange scent
Pledge Clean and Shine in orange scent is my favorite dusting product. Pledge comes in several varieties including lemon yellow and blue hypoallergenic. Sometimes I trade between the scents to make sure my house does not always smell like orange or like lemon. Most of the …
Repel Insect repellant 100% DEET for severe conditions
I’m always suffering from a ridiculous amount of mosquito bites and, in extreme conditions, even ant bites and things of that nature, any time I head outside for more than twenty minutes at a time. And forget it if it’s a woodsy area, or an ill-kempt yard or a …
Avon Senses Aloha Liquid Soap
I think this scent is perhaps getting discontinued from Avon, as it has now ended up in the Sale book, but it could be more of a Summer kind of scent so it may comes back again in the Summer.
This comes in a 300ml bottle and the normal price …
