Tip(s) of the week

Two for one this week!

1) Sometimes, cheaper really isn't better.

I bought VH1 Butter Chicken Sauce since it was less than the Patak's I usually buy. Blech! Learn from my error and avoid it like it's the black plague. It smells awful and tastes even worse. Spend the extra $1.25 and get the Patak's.

I currently have a febreeze vanilla scented oil plug-in turned on high, all the windows open and two fans on in an effort to get the smell out. Truly craptastic product. I wound up rinsing my chicken off to get the sauce off. It was the only way to make it edible. However, by that point I was so sickened by the smell that I wound up going out to get a hot dog and a creme brulee.

2) Secret Clinical -

Best. Product. Ever.

It actually works! And even better, I don't have to do my dry-cleaner trip with my tops I wear to work this week! My purchase earlier this week has saved me over $20 in dry-cleaning costs. Not bad for $7.00!

Seriously fantastic product! I totally recommend this product for EVERYBODY!

The secret clinical sounds great, but I don't think I've seen that in the UK. does it go in the washing machine or is it a dry cleaning style product?

So true, cheaper is certainly not better a lot of the time.

I had to chuckle at your post. I think of VH1 as a music channel, I was thinking, for longer than I should admit, I didn't know they sold chicken sauce! ha ha

I say sticking to some favorite brands, even if they are more expensive, is worth it.

Sharon, the Secret clinical is an anti-perspirant/deodorant stick.

I don't sweat a lot but my sister has to use a special product (Dry something?) . I'll tell her to try this...
