Home Work

Today I am joining in with Tuesday 4 Meme...

Hosted by Ann! No, not me...a different Ann! HA!

Welcome to another Tuesday 4 invented by Toni Taddeo and kept in memory of her. Keeping a home is what this week's topic is all about.

If you want to join in...copy and answer the questions in a post of your own and jump over to Ann's blog and link up! Hope to see you there!!!

Here we go...

1. Are you an impulse buyer or do you weigh the value/cost/ necessity before you buy?

I never used to be an impulse buyer but Amazon has totally spoiled me! Since you can return anything you purchase there; I find myself buying daily! I need to get a check on this soon. I am not spending a lot but the free shipping and quick delivery reels me in! I get everything from batteries to piggy bank plugs there! HA! Amazon has everything - plus two day delivery and free shipping! WOW! Again, I don't spend a lot but I spend often! I love coming home to those smiling faces on my porch!!! HA HA!

2. What do you really resent having to pay for? 

I get frustrated every year when I pay to get my car inspected. I live in PA and we HAVE to have our cars inspected yearly. The rest of my family loves in Ohio and they do not. I hate paying it every year but I just keep telling myself "At least I know my car is safe for the road".  Also, Pennsylvania has a lot of taxes on gas. When I visit my family, their gas is always at least 50 cents cheaper per gallon. This frustrates me to no end!!! Oh well, I love my state and don't plan to move so it must not be that bad, right??





 3. Do you have favorite brands of household cleaners, detergents, soaps? Can you tell us why you like them? 

My sister and sister-in-law turned me onto Norwex. And no, I do not make any money when you click links on this page and no one I know sells this! HA HA!  I just love them! They are cleaning cloths that don't require any chemicals...just water! I love mine!  I save a lot of money not having to buy cleaning products although I do use Mr. Clean erasers for anything that is tough to remove! I swear those things clean ANYTHING!!!  

4. What is a typical day of housekeeping for you?
I love my Shark robot vacuum!!! I tell it to start vacuuming everyday when I get home from work. Well, actually, I tell Alexa to start it! HA HA!  I do most of my cleaning on weekends though. I vacuum and remove cat hair daily and everything else happens on the weekends. I use Norwex cloths for all my cleaning so I do not use any products except on the toilet. In my toilet I use those wands to clean it. You can read about Norwex here if you are interested. It works out well because I only have a two bedroom condo so cleaning is pretty quick and easy!!! Yay!

Now I am off to read about your cleaning habits!!!! Have a great Tuesday and thanks Ann for hosting!!!

HUGS to everyone!

No More Amazon :-)

TODAY I cancelled my Amazon Prime!?!?!?!

WHAT??

Me to self..."You LOVE AMAZON!!!"

I really do or did!   Not so much anymore :-(

It was set to renew in a few days and they raised the price to $119/year! That is ridiculous to me! That is a lot of money for what I use my membership for! This is not a sponsored post I just want to make sure everyone is aware of the new choice I just found out about from a co-worker.

I only use Prime for the free two day shipping - nothing else!! I do not stream videos or shows with it or any of the other "odd" things that membership gives you.

Even with Prime it seems like lately that very few things are actually arriving in two days when they are supposed to!

HERE IS THE INFO I WANT TO SHARE: I just found out from a co-worker that Walmart had free 2 day shipping if you order $35 or more.  I priced my common purchases and Walmart is actually less than or equal to the price on Amazon. Time to give Walmart a try!!! Check out what you buy on Amazon and check the price on Walmart; I bet it is the same or cheaper!

I'll let you know how happy I am in a few months after I have had time to test out Walmart and my switch! Have a great weekend guys! Love yinz!

Have any of you left Amazon Prime due to the price hike? Anyone else tried Walmart? Did you know Walmart started 2 day shipping? Is anyone else out there cheap like me? What are your favorite online purchases?
