Deal or No Deal?

Free Fred's Hot Sauce...deal!

Having to clean it up after it shatters with glass and sticky sauce, no deal! And since no one in my house except me really likes hot sauce, this was definitely a NO DEAL!

This is how my week is going...I am also heading to vacation for the next 10 days, so posts will be sporadic and I probably will not get to the store matchups. Please check my side bar for your favorite store updates.

Deal or No Deal?

Remember all that Olay Ribbons Body Wash we have been getting for free or very cheap lately? Well, I used mine for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it left my skin, well for lack of a better word, oily! I thought it was way too heavy. Fast forward to yesterday, my kids were taking a bubble bath in my soaker tub. I let them use some body wash as bubble bath. Well I was getting my youngest out and dressed in the next room and they dumped 1/2 a bottle of Ribbons in before I could stop them. After this is what was left...

EWWW! Now granted they probably used more than intended, but this gelatinous goo took a while to scrub out of my tub. It doesn't just wipe out of rinse off, it sticks to the tub! I think this qualifies as a "No Deal!" I probably won't be buying this again. Has anyone else tried their Ribbons? What did you think?

Friday Food for Thought: Deal or No Deal

I like to look at my grocery store to see if there are any cheap juices. Usually I can find some up to 75% off because they will expire in a couple of days. On Tuesday, I bought this juice for 99 cents and thought I got a good deal. It said "natural energy" on it, but I figured it just must be some kind of vitamins added. Anyway, I bought it home and for dinner we all had a glass. Wednesday morning my husband and I were both complained how hard it was to get to sleep. I then realized the kids also took longer than usual to settle down for bed. Later that day, I looked at the juice bottle more closely and it contained "25 mg of natural caffeine per serving"! Mystery solved, I might have well served my kids Coke for dinner. We never have caffeine at our house, so you can see how it affected us. I will be reading labels more closely on new products. I would have to say: No Deal! My sleep is worth way more than a good deal!
