My husband has put in kitchen cabinets in our newly built house by Schrock Handcrafted Cabinetry. He had bought it an Menards, using some huge discount that allowed us to purchase about $50,000 worth of cabinets for only $13,000. These cabinets are available in many different kinds of wood; we chose Maple, Natural, since we both prefer lighter shades. The cabinets come all done & finished, ...

I should have known that my Transition lenses would not be a good buy when they were the only glasses in the store that did not come wtih a warranty. I was trying to save money and cut down on lost glasses, and buy one pair of Transitions instead of a pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses. My eyes are very light-sensitive and I need to wear sunglasses to drive on most days, even if it is ove...

It supports DVD+R/+RW for playing and recording, DVD-R/-RW for playin...

We have well water and were debating whether to purchase a water softener for our home. I was always concerned about the water because we had problems in the past. We had to move the well head above ground due to contamination. The Health Department always inspects the well prior to building a house. The water sample was taken and the well did not pass. So we had to have repairs done to it with...

I'm nowhere near as green as I am frugal, and I just won't spend the extra money to save energy if it's going to save me money to spend the extra energy. Make sense?And these new-fangled flourescent light bulbs have just been too expensive for me to get over the cost barrier of them. Four dollars for one light bulb when I can buy 4 light bulbs for $2? Are they ki...

Ok ladies…this product Liquid Virgin Lube is said to be a vaginal contracting personal lubricant. This product is supposed to tighten our most intimate areas with just a few drops. The idea of the product I’m sure is of interest to a lot of women, especially those of us who have had children. At least all of the women friends I have have expressed concerns about what their sex li...

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is when I get to bring out my Christmas dinnerware. A few years ago a line of dishes came out from a company called International China titled "A Christmas Story". I fell in love with the idea and the look of them immediately. They are the creation of an artist named Susan Winget and when the set is complete, you have the entire story of t...

Like most husbands and wives, we have different body temperatures. He's always cold; I'm always burning up. I sleep with just a sheet barely touching me and he's covered over his head with sheets, blankets and comforters. He's even been known to wear a stocking cap! So, when winter arrived, the battle began again. To keep him warm, the bed was loaded with blankets, which made me...

The Adidas TechFit Powerweb short spandex is currently what I am using as my competition spandex (Track and Field - Sprinter). Adidas makes claims on their website and on the packaging that just by wearing this spandex that you will become faster, more powerful, and have more endurance. These claims turn out to be not that wild.First off, I love the style of the Powerweb spandex. I've recei...

I hate styes! I don't think I've had one since I was a child, but one day recently, I woke up with my eyelid hurting, and a little swollen. By the end of the day, I was sure it was a stye. I decided to see what was available over the counter, and chose to use a product called Stye Sterile Lubricant Eye Ointment. Yes, Stye is the trademark name. I got it at Walmart, along with some ...

Divisoria is the perfect place to find new and hot selling items for kids. What's even great is that you don't need to spend too much; it's very cheap yet very entertaining to kids. One of the reasons is the presence of foreign business owners who introduce new products from their countries at very affordable prices. During our stay with my family in Manila for Holy Week, I saw from...

Wow, what did I get myself into?! These are really, really cute, BUT they are really, really a LOT of work! Every time I end up making one of these darling stockings, I ask myself if I’m crazy, or what? But then when I’m finished, I get a lot of satisfaction knowing that I made something real special for the kids I love so much. The first one I made was twenty years ago. In fact,...

While in college several years ago a fellow student told me about an antihistamine called chlorpheniramine maleate. I tried this small yellow tablet and felt a lot of relief.While in Wal-Mart I found I could buy chlorpheniramine maleate by itself so I bought their brand. This way I take only...

We decided to purchase a wood stove to help heat our new home after having some really long, cold winter days. Our house has the heat pump and we just love it but when the temperature outside gets below  32 degrees, we have to use the auxillary heat setting. The auxillary heat setting costs more to heat than using just the regular heat pump. Our heat pump is great for warm weather and cold...
