I am so impressed with Rubbermaid Freshworks. I was selected to test a free product in exchange for my honest review. #gotitfree. I received a coupon for the medium size container.
Timing was perfect, as fresh strawberry season started on the same day I picked up my container at Walmart. I picked up a basket of fresh strawberries, and what was not eaten immediately was divided into 2..half stored in I original container, the other in the Rubbermaid container. Within 3 days the regularly stored strawberries were looking old, wrinkled, not appetizing. The remaining fruit were plump, fresh-looking and tasted exactly like they did on the day they were picked.
The container holds about 6 cups. I really like that the cover is not flush with the container, it is tented, so even if some fruit is over the top, it doesn't get squashed. Also, it is clear enough that it is easy to see the contents without opening the container. The square shape makes it easy to store in the fridge.
All in all, I think this has been my favorite product to try. It exceeded my hopes and expectations. It will allow me to buy fresh produce at the Farmers market, and have it for a week, rather than either a second trip to the grocery store, or throwing out ruined fruits or vegetables mid week.
I have already picked up a second container, and plan to buy the large container this week.
There is a $3 coupon available, which helps to reduce the initial cost, which can seem pricy, until you realize how much it actually saves you.

I have been looking at, touching, feeling this for over a year. It seemed a little pricy, and I do have a manual foot file. I took advantage of a Shopper spend your point event to buy myself a real treat.
Wow! This amazing little gadget (that's their name) is amazing at removing dry dead skin on your feet. The sensation is a little strange at first, but once I got used to it, I was fascinated by how much dead skin was being removed, painlessly.
I love that it is rechargeable, and can be used wet or dry. I prefer dry. I would recommend a towel or cloth underneath the area, because there is a lot of dust...my first attempt on my bed left my dark quilt needing a huge shake. It succesfully removed all the dry cracked skin on my feet after 2 uses. No discomfort at all, just fresh healthy looking soles. I followed up with the for cream that came with it, but switched to Udderly Smooth on the second round. My feet look so healthy, and make me very comfortable wearing sandals again.
I also like that I can replace the files the,selves..there is a mail in rebate so the first pack is free. Not sure how long a file will last, but with 2 extras I think I will be good for a while.

I really like buying a combination anti Perspirant, and deodorant. I was thrilled to see Nivea Invisibles, because it is a brand I really trust. As promised, this roll on does not leave marks on either my navy blue or white scrubs, which is a big factor in choosing a deodorant. I also love that the bottle is clear, so I will not have any surprises in running out of product at a bad time. It is very effective in controlling odour and wetness...it says for up to 48 hours, but I am pleased with it effectiveness for the 24. I love the scent...very fresh, not too floral or powdery. The only con is that it does take a while to dry..probably around 4 minutes, so make sure to apply it well before putting on your top. -

I did not have high expectations for a Tims latte, but they have met and exceeded them. I am a coffee purist, I don't like extra flavours, never use sugar in my coffee. So when I ordered a straight up latte, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the smooth flavour, and how it reminded me of a café style latte. I will definitely be buying more of these. I would say it is comparable to Starbucks or Bridgehead latte, and somewhat less expensive. -

As a healt care worker, I wash my hands often, and use a lot of Purell, so keeping my hands soft and conditioned is a real challenge. I had completely forgotten about Udderly Smooth until I need an add on for an Amazon order. As soon as I opened the tube the delicate scent brought me back to those days when this was my hand cream of choice. It is quite a thick cream, and you don't need to use a lot. Takes a little bit to absorb, but once it is, your hands will immediately feel hydrated, less itchy, and look plumped up. Leaves a really pretty scent on your hands, but subtle enough to not be unusable if you work in a scent free environment.definitely a great affordable hand cream, high I am so happy to have re-discovered. -

I ended up buying this via Amazon, as I needed a small amount to get up to free shipping. I had forgotten about the brand, so was excited to try it out.
The tub is a very generous size..considering how little you really need to cover your feet, I expect it will last a while. It has a lovely delicate scent, which is pleasant but not overpowering. Quite a rich cream, it requires a bit of time to get massaged into the feet, and I do recommend covering with socks. While it appears to be completely absorbed, it does leave the bottom of your feet a little greasy, something I only noticed when I got into the shower. Summer can be rough on my feet as I love walking barefoot, but just a little of this at night has kept my feet soft, and sandal worthy.

I received a free sample in the mail, and called on our husky to provide some insight. He finished the large treat pretty quickly, which surprised me. I would have thought that such a large treat, with a foamy texture would have taken longer to get through, but in under 5 minutes it was gone. I bought a bag so I could let my older dog try them too, and she also devoured it pretty quickly. They both seem to enjoy them, I am just a little concerned that both dogs ended up with loose stools the next day. I think I will give them one a week until the bag is finished, and determine if the trend continues... -

After reading some of you ladies' reviews, decided to buy a tub of this for my fri nods who visit with special dietary needs. Well, of course, I had to try it first ;-). I am so pleased with the flavour...I would never guess it is a dairy free treat, and it is full of surprising chunks of flavour. Definitely something that I would be proud to offer as a treat to anyone visiting on these hot afternoons! -

This very nutritious bar has 20g of protein, and only 3G sugar. Lemon poppyseed is one of my favorite muffins, so I thought it was a brilliant choice for a power bar.
I #gotitfree via Chick Advisor Product review club. I gave one of each flavour to my son who eats protein bars regularly, and I wanted his opinion as well.
The bar is a very satisfying snack, which is great tasting. I was pleased with the lemon flavour being so prominent. I did find the bar slightly powdery tasting. After eating it, I felt full for hours, no dip in energy levels. The protein levels are of interest to me, because it was lacking in my morning meal.
I will definitely buy these again, especially for quick breakfast replace,nets.

I was selected to try PowerBar via Chick Advisor Product Review Club, and received my package earlier this week. I shared with my son, who is a huge protein bar consumer.
I am quite impressed with th flavour of the peanut butter bars. They taste more like a treat than a nutrition snack. I tried one of each in the morning as a breakfast choice. About half an hour after I felt great..energetic and full. I really enjoyed that the bar was not too sweet, but very tasty and satisfying. I love that I get a big (20g) protein boost, which helps prevent hunger, and keeps my energy levels high. Great texture, and I think that half a bar would be sufficient for me for breakfast.
I would definitely buy these again for times I need a quick, satisfying breakfast on the go.
