Nabob coffee has been a staple in my household for years, and in my family home growing up. Probably because it is so reasonably priced, while still being great coffee! The taste is bold and strong without being acidic. I love setting my drip pot on a timer and waking up to my entire house smelling like Nabob breakfast blend...nothing beats it. I love this stuff with just a bit of 2% milk. Delicious! -

I used these hair elastics for years and they worked very well. I liked that they did not have a metal fastener - makes them snag-free. They were snug, didn't stretch out quickly, and held my hair in place.
In the past two years or so I have found that the quality has gone downhill. These elastics stretch out quickly, rendering them useless. They also seem to break after only a use or two. I have switched to another brand and will not be purchasing this product again - the quality is poor.

I live in a very dry climate, so I find this to be an essential product to have on hand at all times. This product has almost no smell (definite bonus) and moisturizes really well. It gives absolutely no irritation to my sensitive skin. The downside is that it is a bit greasy, but as long as you give it time to absorb (five minutes or so) you will be fine. I like to use this product on my elbows, knees, and feet. Keeps them soft and smooth! I do find this product a bit too moisturizing to use on my entire body but it is perfect for the dry spots. Highly recommend for anyone with really dry/sensitive skin. Well worth the $14.99 - it is a really big bottle that lasts and lasts. -

I purchased this hair masque when it was on sale - I think I paid somewhere around $17 for it.
I do not like the container - I find it awkward in the shower to have to unscrew the lid to get to the product and then screw the lid back on (with slippery, conditioner-y hands!) It is nice for storage though - sits flat and doesn't take up much space.
The smell leaves something to be desired - this is nothing special. It smells a teeny bit like chemicals.
I have very long, straight hair. The ends get super dry! This stuff makes my hair feel less like straw, and I find using it twice per week is perfect. If I use it every wash, it is way too much - leaves my hair weighed down. Using it every second or third wash, however, leaves my hair soft, smooth and manageable for the next few days. I like to leave it in and let the heat from the shower help it penetrate - I shave my legs and sing along to Elton John and by the time Benny & the Jets is over it's rinse time!
I do think that this product is overpriced for what it delivers. For just a bit more I can purchase Kerastase hair products which leave my hair feeling even better than this stuff. BUT if you're looking for a splurge without completely breaking the bank, this is a great option. It really does leave my dry ends feeling softer and more manageable. One of the better hair masques I have used (and I've tried a LOT!) If you can find it on sale (like I did!) I say go ahead and give it a try if your hair could use a serious moisture boost.

I have very long, straight hair that is prone to frizz. I have started using this conditioner after my regular shampoo and I really like it! It smells like soap - no special scent to this product - but it does leave my hair smelling clean. I find that I need to use very little of this product compared to other conditioners - and I leave it in for about a minute. It rinses out well and completely, leaving my hair feeling soft. I definitely notice less frizz after drying, whether it is air drying or blow drying. This product does seem to be more moisturizing than other conditioners - and it works for my frizz! The more I use it, the better my hair gets. I was NEVER able to let my hair air dry before (way too much frizz) and I am very happy to be able to give my hair a break by letting it air dry now. I also love that this product has no sulfites - safe for sensitive scalps! -

I really like this cereal! It is easy on the waistline and I find it on sale often. I love the strong vanilla flavor and the crunch of the almonds - my favorite late night snack with some ice cold milk. If you need a sweet treat and don't want to blow your diet, this is a great option. So much better than original Special K! -

Whoa mama these are the best discovery I have ever made in regards to baking! My absolute favorite is to make chocolate cookies and throw a bunch of these in - the perfect chocolatey/peanut buttery treat. These really do taste like Reese peanut butter - they are so good! Sometimes I just eat them by the handful, I must admit. If you like Reese peanut butter, these should be a staple in your pantry. They are absolutely amazing melted and drizzled overtop of chocolate brownies too....drool! -

This product comes in a 350 mL bottle and costs around $13.
It contains B Vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) and iron. I find that taking this product regularly REALLY increases my energy level! The bottle calls for a dose of 1 TBSP (15 mL) three times daily, but I just take one tablespoon in the morning (Meaning my bottle lasts 3 weeks instead of 1 week).
The flavor is terrible (it smells and tastes like rotten Flintstones vitamins) but I just chase it with my coffee and the flavor dissipates quickly. This stuff does have to be stored in the fridge once it is open, which is a bit inconvenient but not the end of the world.
I think the full dose of 45 mL per day is designed for people with terrible diets etc. - 15 mL works just fine for me in addition to my regular multivitamin. I would highly recommend this product for anybody struggling with low energy - might be a vitamin deficiency! This product only lost stars because of the price - if you take the recommended dosage it will cost you $13 per week to take this product, which is pretty high for a vitamin supplement.

I am a bit of a cleaning connoisseur and I decided to give this product a try.
The bottle tells you to spray your shower from 30-38 cm away, which I did. The product comes out a thick foam which coats the shower walls and bathtub. The bottle states that "very dirty areas may need a re-application". Problem is - I used the ENTIRE bottle to do my shower walls/bathtub!! There wasn't any left to re-apply to the areas that needed it, and there were several.
This product broke up grime and dirt very well, but it did not touch any of my hard water marks. I had to use a separate product for them. This product also has a very, very strong smell - I turned on the bathroom fan, opened the door, and it was still overpowering.
I would not purchase this product again. An entire bottle wasn't enough for my shower walls/bathtub. I only need a few squirts of Vim with bleach to do the same job! I cannot recommend this product. Very wasteful, too odorous, and didn't clean any better than any other cleaner I have tried. Save your money!

I decided to try this product because it was on sale at Shoppers for $3.99
I was extremely disappointed! This product smells very strongly like chemicals - and the smell does not go away after you apply it to your hair. I used some before picking my mom up for lunch, and the entire time we were in my car she kept asking me "what is that terrible smell?"
I have dark hair, and I had a hard time blending in this product as it is WHITE. It is also VERY sticky. This stuff did not seem to soak up any oil and actually left my roots looking greasier. They were also so very sticky that I couldn't do much with my hair - it even remained sticky when I got into the shower to try to wash it out! Yuck.
I wouldn't recommend this product, I will be sticking with my Batiste in the future.
