Viva papertowels
I absolutely love these papertowels, and have been using them for at least three years now. Unlike other papertowels that are scratchy and tough, they don’t irritate my hands. They are very soft, thick, and very durable. I have found that one papertowel can clean up …
Jack Lalaanne’s Power Juicer Elite
We bought a Jack Lalaanne’s Power juicer elite two months ago at the Canadian Tire here in Toronto… We are so lazy eating fruits, so its much better to squeeze it and turned in to juice rather than cut, slice and eat it…
It looks elegant and performance wise …
Coleman Rechargable Camping Lantern
We bought this lantern a few years ago when we camped a lot and found it quite handy. In the past, we would only use flashlights when camping but having a lantern is way more helpful. You can actually light up the whole tent with it, not …
SE Super-Bright Reading Lamp
I really love this reading lamp. It works very well and I have not noticed any issues with it. There are several different features and capabilities that it has that I have not been able to find in most others. I’m glad I decided to make …
Haier HUM013EA Space Saver Freezer
I have owned the Haier HUM013EA freezer for a few months and I have not had any problems with it. In my opinion this freezer is expensive compared to some other similar models but in my opinion it’s well worth the money. This freezer is only about 23 inches …
Treasure Cove Fork Meat Thermometer
As a family we barbecue and it’s critical to have a good thermometer when needed. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that this is a very good model to use. These thing has so many issues that it has now gotten to the point where I’ve just stopped using …
Honeywell 50150 True HEPA Air Purifier
I got this air purifier mainly for the living room. I already have on in my bedroom, but I do not wish to move it around constantly so I decided to get another one. The Honey air purifier only costs $129.99. This may seem a bit expensive, but I …
Melitta Express Kettle
I love the Melitta Express Kettle. This is the electric version of your regular stove-top kettle (in other words, a self-heating kettle). I keep it under my desk, where, with a touch of my toe, I can boil water for tea any time I want. The heating element boils …
Bio d washing up liquid
In support of our attempt to be more ethical we have started using Bio d washing up liquid rather than harsher high street brands. My husband was a little reluctant, he felt that a milder, less chemical filled liquid would mean lots of heavy duty scrubbing but I …
Votivo Room Mist: Black Ginger
This is by far my favorite of the Votivo scents, and I mean I love Votivo (though Voluspa is fast coming up behind it as my new fave). Black Ginger is a warm, sensuous smell that lingers for a long time with a few sprays. It makes my …
Roller Fresh Scented Bath Tissue Rollers

Soft Soap Liquid Hand Soap
Instead of having bars of soap sitting at the sinks, I have found that it is much easier to have a bottle of liquid soap for myself and any guests that might be visiting. It is just nice not to have the bar of soap sliding all over the …
Downey Wrinkle Releaser
Downy Wrinkle Releaser is one the best products ever! Ever since trying it for the first time, years ago, my ironing has drastically been reduced. Ironing was one chore I detested, and as a result, I sometimes wore wrinkled skirts and dresses with the hems turned up. No more! …
Swivel Sweeper G2
The Swivel Sweeper G2 isn’t that amazing. I was so absorbed into the commercial that I thought it can actually replace my vacuum. Now that I have it, it is lying around in my house and used only once in a while. I don’t use it frequently and I …
Allsop Home & Garden Soji Silk Effects Square Lantern, Bronze
At 29 dollars plus shipping this seems expensive for a single solar light. I had enjoyed their more traditional and simple round ones, but couldn’t resist the allure of something new. And the price was just a few dollars more, so I figured I’d try at least one.
Now the …
Hyde Park Trailing Rose & Comforter Set
On a recent trip to town I stopped in on the Harris Scarfe Manchester sale and that’s where I saw the Hyde Park Trailing Rose 7pc Queen size Comforter Set. This luxurious comforter usually sells for $299.00 AUS but it was on sale for just $139.95 AUS. This is …
Boulder Football Themed 9″ Square Paper Plates (Eight Pack)
The Boulder Football Themed 9″ Square Paper Plates came eight to a pack for ninety-nine cents. I don’t quite understand the reasoning behind making these paper plates square, but they are. These paper plates, along with the Boulder Football Themed Paper Napkins, caught my eye when I was out …

I use aluminum foil at least a few days a week. It is a large part of what I do in the kitchen. I use foil to cook with and store food. I usually always buy Reynolds wrap foil, but the store I went to didn’t have any in …
NordicWare Petites Mini Muffin Pan
I am a big fan of the NordicWare range of cookware so, whilst browsing amazon.com, when I spotted this mini muffin pan for $26 I decided to treat myself. Â
The pan makes 24 small muffins; the lining of the muffin cups is non-stick so you can use it with …
Solu-Mel
Solu-Mel is a cleaning product made from a company called Melaleuca. In my opinion this product is a better cleaning product than I have ever used. It is a much safer product because it is made to be a more natural product. I use it to …
SunSations Dishwashing Liquid with Bleach Alternative
I hate having dirty dishes in my sink. That is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. I am such a stickler for the way that my dishes come out that unless rushed I usually will do them all by hand.
I have tried several dishwashing products, from Ajax to …
Gain Original Scent Dishwashing Liquid
I am a majorly fastidious person and even though I do have a dishwasher I usually end up washing most of my dishes before I place them in the dishwasher. This being said I have tried many different types of dish liquid. I think one of my favorites …
Emerson 1000 Watt Microwave Oven MW1161SB
Wouldn’t you know my microwave decided to break down over this last three day holiday weekend! Oh well, I got a lot of use out of the old girl before she keeled. So it’s official though, we didn’t last a week without having to buy another one. …
TruSoft 2 Ply Bathroom Tissue
When we temporarily lived with some relatives, I had to adapt to the products that they were using in their house. In my home, my brother insisted on using only 3 ply bathroom tissues. I use to tell him that there was no difference—¦ a tissue is a tissue. …
Mr. Clean Magic erasers
I do not know how women cleaned their homes before the invention of Mr. Clean Magic erasers. The first time I saw these for sale in the store I thought, “yeah right, but well, why not, I’ll try them.” Oh my freaking gosh these things are awesome. …
Vornado Touchstone Vortex Heater 600
My best friend had a house fire a few years ago and it was all because of a home heater that he and his wife were using. I have always been scared of those types of heaters because if they ever tipped over or over heated, then they would definitely …
Evertite stretcher bar Frames
If you work with needlework in any way,then you’re familiar with stretcher bars. You can actually go a cheaper route, and use unfinished picture frames and tacks. Until the canvas or fabric begins to warp. The next thing to try are regular stretcher bars, bought economically from Hobby Lobby, …
Laundry detergent for all temperatures
I normally don�t buy Purex Laundry Detergent but I found a huge 5.17L bottle on sale for just $4.99CDN at my local Shoppers Drug Mart. I couldn�t beat the price, and even though I usually prefer powdered laundry detergent to liquid, this Purex bottle boasted that I would get …

One thing I never forget to buy when shopping for groceries is Zonrox Bleach. Zonrox Bleach is an all around cleaner that can be used on almost anything. You can use it on clothes, on washing dishes, kitchen utensils and on almost anything in the house that needs …
Kingsford Match Light Charcoal
We never use any kind of charcoal besides Kingsford Match Light. The reason is because you don’t have to mess with stinky, starter fluid. That is just a hassle to soak the charcoal and wait. Kingsford Match Light is ready to go straight out of the bag. You just …
Tide Stain Release Tablets
I saw Tide Stain Release Tablets for the first time a few months ago at the grocery store, and when I received a coupon, I decided to try it. I am a fan of Tide Stick, so I figured this new product would be useful, as I always seem …

Our gas got cut off and I had to go electric, unfortunately, because I definitely prefer cooking with gas. I bought this kenmore stove used for $250. Brand new, the price ranges from about $600 plus.
The stove features smooth ceramic top cooking surface, 2 small elements, 2 …
SunSations Summer Bouquet Dish Liquid with Oxygen Cleaning Power
When I first purchased this product it was not what I had in mind. I, however, didn’t want to have to travel to multiple stores and picked up the first inexpensive bottle of dish soap I found at a local Big Lots store. It was the SunSations Brand Summer …
Glade carpet fresher
All Glade carpet fresher’s smell good, but not all of them last long. I use fresh linin, and let me tell you, that stuff last and last and last. All you need is a little bit and two days later your home will smell like you just put …

Clipper Lighters
For many years I used disposable lighters for some reason, until I discovered that it is more cost effective to buy a refillable lighter and a can of butane gas, which lasts me ages. That is, unless I buy a damn Clipper lighter. Clipper is a famous …

Discovery Kids Indoor/Outdoor 2-pc. Play Tent
I purchased this tent/tunnel play center because it looked like something that my son and his friends, as well as my day care kids, could have fun playing in. The play center has a small, dome-shaped tent that has a tunnel attached to it to crawl through. …
DampRid Moisture Absorber
Our bathroom has no windows, and the exhaust fan in the ceiling doesn’t work. This is a problem because it’s a very small bathroom, and it tends to trap a great deal of moisture when we’re bathing or showering, and everything feels damp for hours afterwards, especially in our hot …
T-Fal Housewares
I was actually given this as a gift by my boyfriends mother and at first I thought it was the best thing ever. Little did I know that the more I used these pans the more the nonstick would actually chip off into my food. I felt horrible because …
The Rat Zapper Classic
Last summer I had my first encounter with sharing living quarters with rats. I bought rat poison blocks and set them out trying to lure the rats to their death to no avail. Next I tried snap traps but they weren’t fooled. So then I tried glue traps which worked …
Arial detergent
We know about the Arial fresh detergent powder but very few people know about the Arial liquid detergent. The Arial liquid detergent is costlier then the Arial detergent powder. But the Arial liquid detergent is concentrated one and has a very good fragrance. It cleans the …
