Rubber Maid makes good stuff and this container is no exception. I use it to store cereal and chex mix but it would also serve well as a flour, sugar or salt canister. And, unlike canisters, this has a great seal that keeps moisture and bugs out. Come to think of it, they would be great on camping trips to keep anything from cereal to socks dry. They are big enough to hold two full boxes of cer...

We just recently bought a deep freeze for our home. I wanted to be able to buy in bulk so that I could cut down on my grocery bills. So we purchased the Seal-A-Meal. This appliance allows you to buy in bulk and then seal it up and freeze it (for up to 3 years on some items).  What we do is we go to Sam's Club and we buy our meat in bulk. The we come home and divide it up...

I had run out of enveopes and borrowed some from my brother who always buys more than enough. His current favorites at that time were Redi Seal double flap envelopes available from OfficeMax. These enveoples are regular business size (#10), white, the self-stick kind that you don't need to lick (yuck) or wet with a sponge. I was used to peel-and-seal ones, but these are a little dfferent: th...

I hate seran wrap with a passion.  It clings to everything, including itself.  And, for some reason or another, I just can't seem to get it to cover the food or container I'm working with, without taking forever to uncling it from itself!So, I thought I would give this press n seal stuff a try.One side of the wrap has no sticky part, the other side is the cling side.  Bec...

I love the Olay Regenerist line, so when I saw one of their newer products I just had to give it a try.   The product is, Olay Regenerist Filling + Sealing Wrinkle Treatment.  Filling and Sealing?  Sounds like I'm plastering a hole in the wall!  But, I bought it anyway to see what it was all about.The next morning, I dabbed the Filling and Sealing Treatment on my &q...

Mead Press it-Seal it self adhesive envelopes are truly convenient for business and home office use. I found a pack of fifty 4 1/8 by 9 1/2 inch white envelopes and brought them home to give them a try. I despise the taste of glue on regular envelopes. I found these envelopes easy to use. All you have to do is peel the backing off of the inside lip of the envelope and press down to seal it. I u...

Glad Press'n Seal is a "multipurpose sealing wrap"  It not only replaces plastic wrap as a food covering, but has many other uses as well!According to the box, Press'n Seal employs "Griptex" technology -- it is activated when pressure is applied -- and sticks to almost anything.  This stuff is amazing!  It really does lock out air by completely griping...

  I just installed ceramic tile in my laundry room and used non-sanded grout.  When the job was done, I used the Aim and Seal grout sealer, by TileLab.  I really liked it because it was so much easier to use than the liquid TileLabl SurfaceGard Penetrating Sealer I had used before.  I loved that this stuff came out in a foam.  It was easy to control and fast to apply.&n...

I had grown tired of wrestling with saran wrap and having it fall off soon afterwards.. I found Glad Press n'Seal and I will never go back to that awful wrap again. This is a wrap that stays put each and every time you use it. You can even open up a bowl or container and reseal.This wrap stays put but it also is easier to pull out of the box and easier to tear off of  the roll. I find ...

 The new Mead "Press It/Seal It" envelopes have a great new feature that eliminates the very thing I hate about using envelopes - licking the awful glue to seal them! They come with an adhesive strip where the glue used to be. You just peel off the thin plasic cover to expose the sticky area, fold the flap over, press, and it forms a tight seal from edge to edge! No more ter...

  In my experience, plastic wrap falls into one of two categories - either they don't cling to ANYTHING  whatsoever, even to the point of falling off the bowl you are trying to seal, or - SO clingy that it's impossible to handle. It's hard to get it off the roll, and it sticks to ITSELF in one big crumpled up mess that you can't even use!  Well, I've found a h...

I like keeping my teeth in good shape. Although my teeth aren't the whitest that I want them to be. They still are not a bad color, but I want them whiter then what they are. I love my teeth. I can't stand when they are an off color. My boyfriend recently bought me the "Crest whitestrips advanced seal" whitening strips. I have only been using them for about a little over a wee...

Ampad makes a very nice pull and seal envelope in the catalog size (9" x 12").  They come in an easy-open dispenser box, and they are great for sending a number of pages that you cannot fold and put in a smaller envelope.  They are made of a 28 lb heavyweight white wove, and what I especially like is the fact that you just pull off the adhesive strip to seal them.  The ...

I had never bought Wet Seal jeans until I started working there, but now I really like them! They are comfortable, stylish, and come in short, regular, and long. I personally like the Jet-Setter style because that is what looks best for my body type, but they also have Show Stoppers and Rox Stars, which are both nice. I have one pair of these jeans that has a unique wash to it. Those are my fav...

I first learned of Seal when his song, "Kiss From a Rose" became a hit. I liked his voice and bought the CD, but hadn't paid much attention to him over the years. That changed a couple of days ago when my husband and I were watching Soundstage, a one hour show that features different musical acts each week. I saved the Seal concert on Tivo and we finally got around to watchin...

My hubby bought this sealing tape because he needed one when he wanted to send a package to my parents. It’s from Kenko brand, a quite well-known brand for office accessories / stationery. Because it was meant to seal a big cardboard box (the package), my hubby chose the biggest size, though there might be smaller size. The width of this sealing tape is 5 cm and it’s a transparent s...

Are you tired of fighting with plastic wrap that doesn’t seem to stick to anything but itself?  Then it’s time to throw away that useless plastic wrap and go for Glad Press ‘n Seal.  Sure, it doesn’t work exactly like they say in the commercials, but Glad Press ‘n Seal is still worth having on hand.I love Glad Press ‘n Seal because it actually...

I hardly wear hats and enjoy styling my own hair everyday. At times I would rather put a fuss with my hair than go out of the door wearing some baseball cap but obviously I had to buy one since one day the cold brutal weather finally got the best of me. I didn’t want any old hat, something cute, feminine and stylish. I went to Wet Seal to look for one and saw the exact type I was ...

Staples Pull & Seal Greeting Card Envelopes are wonderful.  At $14.99 per box of 100 they will last a long time.  I print a great deal of my personal greeting cards and found these to be the perfect envelope for a greeting card that is the size of a standard sheet of paper folded in half.   The Staples Pull & Seal Greeting card envelopes are made with 24 lb...

My husband and I are moving to another city in a little over a week.  The countdown is on (T minus 8 days!), and our apartment  is starting become a maze of stacked items and cardboard boxes.  To seal our boxes, I had been using a tape gun I had recently bought and the original roll of tape that came with it.  The tape gun has been great.  The tape has not!  It bar...
