edrie says "Extremely convenient & works well!" about Bounce Dryer Bar

edrie — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:28:55 GMT

I have used the Bounce dryer bar for over 2 months. The first time I used it, it fell out of the holder, but has since stayed put. It works very well - no static. I never thought throwing in a dryer sheet was a big deal, but it's been enjoyable just throwing clothes in the dryer and never having to think about a dryer sheet. After about 2 1/2 months (about 8 loads a week), it is probably about time to change the dryer bar. So cost wise it was no more than a better brand dryer sheet.

edrie says "The best hand creme on the market!" about Nivea Skin Creme

edrie — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 03:40:18 GMT

Winter and aging are not kind to my dry skin! I've tried many hand lotions and cremes, but none have worked as well for me as Nivea Creme.

I mainly use it on my hands. They become so dry, especially in the winter, that they can be painful. Other lotions feel fine for a few minutes, but Nivea Creme keeps my hands comfortable for hours. Generally a dab in the morning and then again in the evening is enough to keep my hands hydrated.

I can't always fine the Blue Nivea tub in my small town, so I sometimes get lazy and try another name brand. I am never satisfied for long with any other brand. While Nivea may have a slightly higher initial cost, you really only have to use a small amount. One tub, even with daily use, will last at least 6 months.

Of course, it is also great for dryness on legs and body. It is also gentle, and because it doesn't have a strong or floral scent, my husband and son also use it.

edrie says "Nice selection on many items." about Walmart - Ripley, WV

Walmart replaced their first Ripley Walmart with a much larger Super Walmart. The store is clean, new, and large, but it is in a more out of the way location.

Walmart is often the best place, and sometimes only, in the county to purchase a wide variety of items. If you need something and don't want to drive an extra 20-30 miles, Walmart is often the only choice.

We often purchase household items such as linens, cosmetics,house fix-it supplies, paint, or kitchen items here. We also buy the occasional clothing or sporting goods items. Kids toys and electronics are usually well priced.

I like the variety, freshness, quality, and value of many grocery items. I especially like the freshness and variety of meat, poultry, and produce.

The store is generally clean, and staff is usually helpful and friendly. Beyond location, the biggest draw-back of the Ripley Walmart is poor staffing. Very often there are just a couple "live" cashiers at the regular registers. I guess...

edrie says "Great value for a basic printer." about Lexmark Printer Z1300

edrie — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:12:37 GMT

I needed a basic printer for documents. It always seems to be hit or miss with computers, so I chose a Lexmark Z1300 based mainly on availability and price. I have owned my Lexmark Printer for over a month and, overall, have been pleased with it.

For around $20 the price couldn't be beat! It came with one ink cartridge which was supposed to be a trial size, but it has lasted for over 50 black/white copies. It did not include the cable to link with the computer, but many of us already have the needed cable.

Set up was quick and easy. The printer program was at first a bit buggy if I had to cancel a print of if I wanted to change printing quality. I am using this with a laptop that has never been linked to a printer, so I'm not sure which component was at fault. After reinstalling the printer software, it has worked more smoothly.

The quality of printed documents is fine. I usually use fast-draft, and even at that setting, printed pages have been very good.

I would say...

edrie says "Wonderful paint - great coverage, easy to use, & looks great!" about Behr Interior Satin Paint

edrie — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:39:26 GMT

We recently bought Behr Interior Satin finish paint for several rooms in our house. I had an older paint sample fan from a different manufacturer, and the Home Depot was able to exactly match my color chips. The paint had a nice thickness and was easy to apply. Each gallon was true to the color chip and looked great on the walls.

I have used more expensive paints in the past, but the coverage of the Behr paint was the best! It really did cover in one coat, even in yellow, which in the past has required multiple coats. I just assumed it would require 2 coats, so I was not trying to apply the paint heavily. I was extremely pleased that I could not find any thin spots that needed a second coat. And, I definitely got up close to find the old paint color showing through.

The Behr paint was a least $8-10 less a gallon than other brands I have used and buying when they offer a $5 per can rebate saves even more!
