Gain Fireworks Original Scent Booster

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. -
Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle
A little really does go a long way with this product, and I like the easy snap-open-snap-closed cap. I don't like the bottle design though, as it looks a LOT like a bottle of dish soap (so much so that I wrote with a black Sharpie on the front "NOT... +
A little really does go a long way with this product, and I like the easy snap-open-snap-closed cap. I don't like the bottle design though, as it looks a LOT like a bottle of dish soap (so much so that I wrote with a black Sharpie on the front "NOT DISH SOAP" so that my husband wouldn't mistakenly wash our dishes with it). The detergent smells VERY strong and the scent lingers - if you love the scent of Mr. Clean you will REALLY love this product (I have lemon)! It works very well at removing stains, spills, and breaking up stuck on gunk. I love to use it to soak my kitchen sinks, and to wash my cupboard insides and my inside garbage cans. At around $5 a bottle it is a good value and it is nice to have as a part of my cleaning arsenal.
The Febreeze scented one is too strong for me, I haven't smelled the purple one, and I frequently buy the lemon one - I love it!

I love Black & Decker for kitchen appliances and this one does not disappoint! It is attractive (important, since it sits on your kitchen counter!) and I love the time display. I love using it on the automatic setting - just program whatever time you want it to brew your coffee and you're set for the morning! The 12 cup capacity makes it perfect for groups, but the ability to brew as few as 4 cups (though I sometimes make less in it just fine) makes it functional for everyday use as well. This coffee pot brews a good cup of coffee every time, and lasts and lasts and lasts. I have had mine for about four years now and it still works as it should. It's a good, reliable basic drip coffee maker - perfect for anybody who just wants a cup of coffee without any bells and whistles. -

I picked up two of these sets today. They each came as set with 36 pieces from Walmart for $9.96. There were two different options - a red one like that shown with the exception that they came in a giant Rubbermaid container (cool! Could hold a GIANT batch of stew, or muffins, or dog food...etc) and had red lids. The other one came in a cardboard box (no giant Rubbermaid) and had blue lids. I like the quality of this product (nice thick plastic and sturdy lid - much thicker than Ziplocs) and I like the easy-store lids (they really do stack up nicely). I would give this product 4/5 though because it had a lot of awkward sized containers that I don't quite know what to do with. I liked the tiny containers (perfect for sauces, nuts, etc) and the bigger containers (leftovers) but the mid-sized ones I'm really not sure.
The red lidded set has better sizes - the midsized ones can be used for a few different things and the Rubbermaid that the set came in is AWESOME. I recommend the red set over the blue one - but overall I recommend both sets. Good value!

Bounty Full Sheet Paper Towels

I love Bounty. It costs more than any other brand but it really is worth it. It seems to be crazy absorbent and is so tough that you can wring it out a few times and re-use it. I often rinse it out with water and then re-wipe with it! I love to pick it up when the 6 packs are on sale. -
OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover Powder

I buy this product regularly from Dollarama for $2-ish. I love its versatility - you can use it in almost any cleaning situation to intensify the cleaning power (but in my opinion, isn't the greatest at anything on its own). I throw it in with my whites every time I wash them and I do find that it helps to remove stains better than when I don't use it. My most common stain is ink and it does a pretty good job with it when I pre-treat with it. I can't speak for how this stuff works with colors in the laundry because I ONLY use it with my whites. I like that it seems to help with odor removal as well; our gym clothes get pretty rank sometimes and this really leaves them deodorized. At the price I pay for this stuff (check your dollar stores!!) it is a must have for every home. -

This stuff goes for about $4 at my local SDM. I have long hair (about halfway down my back) and I use the entire package in one go. It smells really, really good - that's my favorite part about the process actually. I usually put it in and leave it for about twenty minutes while I do something else and then rinse it out. It definitely leaves my hair softer but not nearly as much as I would like. Does it compare to a conditioning treatment at the salon? No. But it is pretty good for a cheapie-quick-fix from the drug store for times you just want to pamper yourself. And at under $5 it is kind of a nice treat. -

I purchase this floor cleaner regularly on amazon to clean my tile kitchen floor with. I used to just use whatever I had on hand, but I am hooked on this stuff now. It has a really nice smell to it, very clean and lingers in the house. It washes the floor as well as any floor cleaner does but the real reason I love it is because of the lack of residue. My floors literally feel squeaky clean. (Note - this floor cleaner is NOT designed to use on wood floor!) -

I love this product, I buy it on Amazon all the time fir less than $3/bottle. The smell is faint and almost Minty, which I quite enjoy. The cleaner works well - squirt it on and let it sit and the grime and scum just flush away. Makes cleaning my toilet so much easier and gets that yucky area under the rim clean without any effort at all. Everybody should have a bottle of this on hand at all times. -
