I have occasional heartburn.  I have been to the doctor and tried some prescription heartburn medications.  None that I have tried have worked as well as Tums.  I love this product.  I carry one bottle in my car and I keep a bottle at home.  If I happen to eat something that gives me heartburn I just chew one tablet.  In a few minutes the heartburn is gon...

I had first tried Curad Basic Care extra large bandages when I'd injured my arm, and the wound needed a bigger bandage. Curad offered large ones (3 3/4 x 2 inches) cheaper than most other brands. The bandages are sealed in individual paper wraps, easily removed. Each one has a special non-stick pad in the middle, to keep the bandage from sticking to the wound as the wound dries up (one of m...

Tylenol Extra Strength has been helping me to fight headaches for several years. My headaches can be rather strong, but Tylenol has never failed me. Usually, I only have to take 2 caplets, as directed, and the pain would be gone in 10 or 15 minutes. My husband and I have also used these pills to treat cold, and it helps to effectively reduce fever and other symptoms associated with pain (it doe...

I have had mixed results with Equate Extra Strength Pain Reliever pills. Seeing that it contained the same active ingredient as Tylenol (Acetaminophen), I had tried switching to it because it was considerably cheaper. The first several times I had taken these pills for my headaches, I experienced little or no relief. Tylenol, on the other hand, would help within 10-15 minutes. I have no explana...

I have a lot of fun playing paintball and after numerous excursions with the rental pump guns, I decided that I needed my own marker. The guns that you typically rent are often cheap and poorly maintained. I still have fun, but also waste many frustrating hours clearing out jammed paintballs and troubleshooting depleted air tanks. I looked at several places online and happened across ebay. They...

This is another product we keep on hand at all times in our home. It is a generic version of Tylenol and is just as effective. It can be bought at any Wal-Mart and in all honesty , we have found all Equate brand products o be just as good as the brand name versions.The "Extra Strength" is aspirin free and is 500 mg each caplet, it is great for a fever reducer, minor pain reliever such...

My girlfriend and I were shopping in B.J.'S Warehouse and in need of paper towels. They had the Bounty basic which quite frankly is a piece of junk good only to throw away to be honest with all of you. They had also the Bounty regular which is ok. The one we purchased (the Bounty extra soft ) in our opinion is the better of the three. It has done pretty well picking up spills and in va...

 I purchased these Extra Strong trashbags. I was very hesitant to purchase an off brand trashbag. I bought a box of ten and they are twenty six gallon. I saw the "extra tough" and decided to give them a try. They are great and this was a good find. I have been very pleased with their strength and performance.It is a great value for a dollar comparing the prices of trash bags now....

I have the type of hair that tends to lie flat most of the time. I really try to use products that add extra body and give my hair that little bounce that I feel it needs. VO5 Extra Body shampoo was not my first choice of shampoos. I always went for the more expensive brands that I had experience with and found did a good job with my hair. I bought VO5 when I was very short on cash and had to h...

I have been looking for a nice, inexpensive long lasting hairspray for awhile and have pretty much been unsuccessful. I decided to try Tresemme when it was on sale at my local CVS store. I use hair spray for mainly 2 things. One, to keep hold on my bumps and to keep away the frizzy hairs. Two, to scrunch and curl my hair. Well this hair spray worked perfect for both tasks. It deffanitley held d...

Mr. Clean Extra Power gets a rare low rating from me. From its shocking pink and purple striped bottle to its atrocious scent, this product deserves a total thumbs down. Surprising from a brand that normally produces fine cleaning products for the home. Based on my previous experiences with this brand, I bought Extra Power for some really tough cleaning chores: dirty stove tops and soap buildup...

This is the generic Walmart brand for Tylenol. I really like this pain reliever and the price. I can take two of these caplets and feel better in about 15 minutes. I find that they take care of aches and pains associated with working all day, headaches, etc. I have found they work every bit as well as the national brand and they cost a fraction of the price. This is a bottle of 100 Caplets at 5...

I like febreze fabric refresher, its easy to use and I can spray it on almost anything. I have leather furniture and I even use it on that and I have never had a problem with staining. I have three pugs and they tend to leave many odors behind. I'm always spraying the carpet and where they like to sleep. Using this product is easy, just a few pushes of the trigger and the scent mists i...

Tylenol extra strength rapid release gels are a brand new product for Tylenol.  Each gel contains 500mg of acetaminophen.   The dosage remains the same as the regular extra strength Tylenol, however the new product is supposed to start to work much faster than regular Tylenol.  Each gel is tri-colored with red, grey and light blue.  Each gel is labeled as TY with the nu...

I purchased Goody’s Extra Strength Headache Powders at CVS for $1.49.  Each package is a cardboard box wrapped in plastic.  You must tear off the plastic and then open the box.  Once you have opened the box, inside you will find (6) individually wrapped powders.  Each wrapped powder contains 260mg of acetaminophen, 520mg of aspirin and 32.5mg of caffeine.  The d...

This is a shaving gel that protects your skin while shaving.  My face gets really dried out when I shave.  I was excited to try this variety of Edge.  I had been happy with their products before, but I did need something to help my skin.  I am very happy with what this Extra Moisturizing formula does.  I get the protection while I'm shaving, but my skin feels great ...

I purchased my Excedrin Back and Body pain reliever at CVS for $4.49.  It is a small bottle with 24 caplets containing acetaminophen 250mg and buffered aspirin 250mg.  It is recommended that I take (the adult dosage) 2 caplets every 6 hours but not to exceed more than 8 caplets in a 24 hour period.  This new product by Excedrin is designed to relieve the minor pain of arthritis, ...

I have always used Pledge when I clean wooden furniture and dust; I got that from my mom.  I recently found this Pledge Extra Moisturizing Furniture Polish and really love it.  I just spray it on whatever I need to dust or clean, and use a rag or paper towel to wipe it off.  This product does a great job of picking up all of the dust, but really does noticeably moisturize whateve...

Very interesting oil filter. For many years Fram has produced this oil filter. Its a filter I have used on many of my vehicles in the past. First of all let me say the best thing about it is the outer case. It is very hard and solid. I have never had one fall apart or get crushed by taking it off with a filter wrench. This is one area that this filter stands out from other low cost filters.&nbs...

La Bella Lots of Curls Extra Hold Styling Gel is formulated for curly hair, natural or permed. I have used it on my permed hair, with very satisfying results. The gel is to be applied to towel-dried hair; after that you scrunch the hair with your fingers and either let it air dry or style it the way you normally do (I usually air dry). The curls become more pronounced and defined, and they stay...
