I absolutely LOVE this stuff. So much that I once bought a stash because my tube ran out and my local drug store was out of stock and I didn't ever want to have to go without it again! I have been using this product for about twenty years.
It is a really superb lip healing balm. When your lips are so dry that they get peely and sore, this is the ONLY one that works to lock in the moisture and heal your lips. It is tingly when you apply it (in a good way!) and sore lips feel relieved instantly. When lips are really dry, this product does need to be reapplied overnight (wish it was longer lasting, but I guess it's a good sign that dry lips suck up all that moisture?)
As a child I was highly sensitive to most lip balms. This was the ONLY one that did not cause a reaction for me. It literally worked so well that to this day I haven't strayed - I keep a tub of this in my purse, on my nightstand, in my car... So much that my family always buys me several tubs of this stuff for birthdays, Christmas etc. A great product for a very, very reasonable price. (Bonus - it is on sale at Shoppers often). I much prefer the tub to the stick version of this product (the stick is harder and can make the lips slightly orange if you apply too much)
I highly recommend this product! It is STRONG! And it WORKS!

I find this stuff at Dollarama all the time for $2. I continue purchasing it (I've probably used a dozen or so bottles over the years) because it absorbs so quickly. It is the least greasy lotion I've ever used that actually works. This stuff seems to restore that moisture barrier for several washes after use. The smell is nothing special, but the product is incredibly efficient. I love using it on my hands and my arms. -

I stock up on all three flavors of this stuff when it goes on sale. I love this flavor the best, followed by the rotisserie.
My husband and I have been trying to eat fairly clean. This is a great option for that! You just put your chicken in the bag (we use breasts) and roll them in the powder. (Kind of like shake and bake) Then you twist tie the bag shut and throw it in the oven. That's it! When you pull it out, the bag is all puffed up with air and the moist, juicy chicken is inside, covered in flavor. My husband (a die-hard BBQ sauce guy) LOVES this stuff even though it doesn't come with any "sauce". It doesn't need it! The chicken is SO moist and juicy and the flavor is just fantastic. My favorite way to make a quick, easy, healthy dinner for my family. I got my parents hooked on this stuff too. Try it - you won't be sorry! Makes baked chicken AMAZING! We eat Maggi's So Juicy at least once per week, and we really enjoy chicken night.

Easy-off fume free oven cleaner

I love this stuff. I use it every couple of months to clean my oven and it works really well. I coat the oven and let it sit. After about an hour, I wipe it out with a damp cloth and EVERYTHING comes off. I am surprised every single time as to how clean my oven actually gets! It works better than other oven cleaners I have tried. It is definitely NOT fume free however! In comparison to the regular Easy Off, it is less smelly, but it is still oven cleaner and it still stinks, just not nearly as much. I have tried using the self cleaning feature on my oven, but it does nothing compared to the Easy Off so I will continue to clean it "by hand" in the future.
I have recently discovered that this product also works like magic to clean out the metal part of my slow cooker. I try to always keep a can in the house - has to be the Easy Off brand stuff! Highly recommend for yucky ovens and slow cookers! Does the work for you!

I received a sample of this product in the mail and I have been hooked on it ever since! It goes for around $12 a bottle, but I stock up every time it goes on sale at Shoppers for $7.99. Yes, this is still more expensive than a lot of detergents, but I feel that it's worth it! I recently found a really BIG bottle at Costco for $17.99 and I am very pleased with it.
The smell is heavenly. It smells fresh and VERY clean. The smell lingers long after the items are washed (my favorite is clean sheet night with this stuff!) and the laundry just FEELS cleaner than with other detergents.
The regular-sized bottle claims that there are 24 loads inside, but due to the shape there are 1-2 loads worth of detergent that get stuck at the bottom when it is almost empty that cannot be removed (no matter how much I shook!) so there is a waste factor with this product (hope they fix it!)
This product makes the biggest difference with my whites. I rub some onto the collars and sleeves of our white shirts as a pre-treat before washing, and they come out whiter than I have ever been able to get them before. This detergent takes out those yucky yellow sweat stains really well.
I give this product 5 stars. I LOVE this detergent and I recommend it every chance I get!

I love Subway! The bread is baked fresh on site daily, so every time you walk into a Subway it smells amazing - and the bread is fresh!
Subway has lots of options - there is something for everybody. I switch it up every time I go depending on what is on sale that day. I also really enjoy the chopped salads - lots of veggies, meat and sauce - very good! The Subway cookies are also to die for - the white chocolate macadamia nut and the double chocolate are my go to cookies!
I love Subway for the low price point, and the ease. There are lots of Subways so you are never too far from one, plus it is a fairly healthy option as far as fast food goes! I eat Subway about once per week and I have for about the last 15 years.

I received this body polish as part of a gift set. The body polish smells exactly like the perfume - light and floral. Delightful! It does make for a nice showering experience, but I found that the smell does not really linger on your skin once you leave the shower. I was expecting a nice, gritty body polish but this is more of a body wash. It has a few little exfoliating beads but it is pretty darn gentle on the skin. With the wonderful scent, I would have given this product 3.5 stars had it been gritty enough, but because 1) it is NOT a polish, just a bodywash and 2) the smell does not linger past the shower, I would give this product 2 stars. If you get it as part of a set, great - but don't waste your money on this one! I also don't like the packaging - it is a pain to completely unscrew and remove the cap every time I want to use this product - a flip cap would have been nice! -

I have an old house (35 years old) that ALWAYS smells musty, no matter what I do. Unfortunately, this means that all of my clothes (stored in my closets) always end up musty too. I started adding this stuff to my laundry, and it really works! As long as I use my clothes within about a week, they come out of my closet smelling fresh and clean. This is the perfect fix for anyone who needs a little bit of extra freshness for their clothes. (Sure does wonders for my spare sheets/towels in the linen closet, too!) -

This stuff is great to add extra smell to your laundry. It smells just like Gain, only stronger! I love that it doesn't seem to leave any residue on my clothes, unlike a lot of other in-laundry scent boosters. I love to use this stuff on my bedding, as you climb into a cloud of delightful Gain scent for at least two days after using the scent booster. Added bonus: You can put this into any wax warmer and it melts and makes your whole house smell amazing...
I buy this stuff EVERY time shoppers has it on 2/$10

Can I give this ten stars!? I bought it on amazon about four years ago. It still works perfectly and I use it at least once a week. I do my entire house with it (laminate in the bathrooms, tile in the kitchen, and sealed hardwood for the rest of the house). It comes with two different types of cleaning cloths - regular and scrubber. I usually use the regular ones but for tasks like cleaning up after drywalling downstairs I use the scrubber one. The container is fairly large (you can do about the size of a regular room and a hallway or a bathroom with one tank-ful) and it heats up quickly (under two minutes). It consistently works well, steaming the floors without chemicals and it picks up a lot of grime. The cloths hold a surprising amount but for really gross jobs they need to be changed often to continue being effective. I absolutely love my Bissell steam mop - and it's a great value! You'll never have to buy floor cleaner again if you don't want to (though I admit I still get down on my hands and knees and scrub my floors once a week the old fashioned way). For myself, the steam mop is a great way to keep the floors clean during the week between my deep cleans and it is quick and easy to pull out for small messes and spills. Highly, highly recommend. Every house should have one of these. -
