What I Got: 90% Off Valentine’s

-

Happen to stop in Target today randomly, and found Valentine’s had been marked down to 90% off – the Valentine’s candy is at 75% off.

I picked up 3 packages (maybe 4) of Valentine’s for next year. They ended up being $.25 each and one i snagged was only $.10.

They had some adorable cupcake liners – both full-size and mini – that said thinks like “Made with Love” on them. They werd $.19 for a set of 24.

In addition I picked up some gag stuff for White Elephant gift exchanges or embarrassing my brother-in-law (it’s actually more likely to embarrass my sister-in-law) or whatever else comes up.

They were marking down swimsuits while we were there. The tankini and boy shorts suit I wanted wasn’t clearanced at all of course, but many of the triangle bikinis with string ties were.

And in other years I have found Valentine boxers in the men’s department and gotten them for 90% off at this time of year, as well.

Let us know what you find!

Not too long ago, I told you about my experience with Tropical Traditions organic coconut oil . Tropical Traditions was gracious enough to giveaway a bottle of that oil to one of the MelissaStuff readers. Recently, they offered to send me their palm shortening to try out. I love to bake so I was all about that offer. I was surprised when the “sample” arrived and it was a 1 gallon pail of shortening. I’m pretty sure that’s enough to make cookies for the next decade or so! Fair warning – when you go to use this for the first time, know that it will be difficult to get the lid off and if you aren’t particularly handy, you might want to have someone else around to help you. I didn’t and it took me about ten minutes, several different tools, and even breaking the tip off of an industrial file before I could get it. The shortening inside looks pretty normal, maybe a little less thick than standard shortening. I think it looks almost like mayonnaise. But it’s easy to scoop out and l...

Organic Detergent? {Giveaway}

-

So technically, I don’t think this detergent is actually organic, but it is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Can you say that for your detergent? This product was a surprise to me. I’m not picky about my detergent, but the only thing I do care about is how my detergent smells. Before I used Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent I was concerned that it would have a chemical smell or worse the clothes would end up not smelling clean. But it smells GREAT without having any specific scent to it . . . it just smells clean . One thing that’s nice is it only takes 2 oz. to wash an entire load, so this fairly small container will do quite a number of loads – 40 to be exact. Right now, this size container is on sale for $16.99, but you can win it for FREE!

{EXPIRED} Giveaway: Make Your Own Soda (Cokes!)

-
Image
I have to admit that this review was one of the most FUN items we’ve done so far. My husband was actually more excited about trying it out than I was. Sodastream has an entire line of machines that allow you to make your own soda -  pop, cokes, whatever you make call it - at home. The process is super simple. We reviewed the Jet. It came in a large box. We took all of the pieces out and were able to start making drinks without washing or assembling anything. (We did rinse out the bottle just because I’m a nut like that.) There are two clear bottles to mix the drinks in, an O2 cylinder and the actual machine. You pop the O2 cylinder into the back of the machine. Then fill up one of the bottles with water to the fill line marked on the bottle. You push back on the button at the top of the front of the Sodastream machine which rocks out the Piece that the bottle screws on to. Once it is attached, you let go and the bottle returns to an upright position. You push the button...
