Save on Shaving wth 800razors.com

One thousand dollars plus. 
Can you imagine paying that much to shave?
Shaving can undoubtedly be an expensive endeavor. Assuming the average individual switches Gillette razor cartridges every 7-10 days, they will use 36+ razor cartridges in a year - $120+ simply buying razors!
In 10 years, we’ve easily eclipsed the $1000 mark without considering additional handles, shaving cream, and gasoline for travel expenses. 

While this may not sound like much, Gillette’s razors are undoubtedly more expensive than their online competition. Using the same methodology of 36 razor cartridges a year, men and women could buy American-made razors that compare to Gillette’s Fusion, Mach III, and Venus from 800razors.com for less than half (~$60). 

Currently, 800razors.com, the burn-free razor company, sells 12 5-blade ceramic-coated razor cartridges, a handle, and free shipping for $19.95.   This is a good deal!!

Want a better deal?  You can also choose to buy 24 cartridges with the handle for $39.95.  Also free shipping!

Need both a men's razor and a women's razor?  Buy the combo pack and save even more!  
You will receive the men's handle with 10 cartridges (your choice of 3 blade or 5 blade) and the women's handle with 8 cartridges (5 blade) for only $32.99.  Yes, free shipping!

Here we have my hubby using the 5 blade men's razor.   He was very impressed.   The price of the cartridges has stopped me from allowing him to buy them.  I had put it off about as long as I could, so I was glad to do a review.
He said he thought the razor from 800razors actually worked better than other razors he has been using over the years.
In fact, he was pretty excited to get in and shave.  yahoo!

800razors.com ensures people get the best razor for the best shave at the best price or it will provide a full refund via its Burn-Free Guarantee – no skin burn, wallet burn, or American job-loss burn. 

You can't go wrong!  Give 800razors.com a try today for your shaving needs.


A little background about 800razors.com:

The company was discovered by "accident".
While on a business trip, Steven and Phil (Co-founders), had their luggage was lost.  Having an important meeting the next day they headed to the nearest drug store for shaving supplies.
They were shocked at the price of just the refills and knew they had to do something about it. 
They teamed up with a highly reputable razor manufacturer to design their razors.
They then cut out the 'middle man' and started selling directly to the public.
The rest is history.......



Disclosure:   I rec'd a men's 5-blade razor and some additional information for the purpose of this review.  I was not compensated in any other way and, as always, all opinions are my own.

Frugal Friday with Marsha 3/14/14

Hubby did pay the cable bill last Friday after work, so I am back to the world of internet from home.
He came home and I asked him about returning the cable box and getting rid of the home phone. He claims that they told him that if we do that and just have the channels and internet and not the bundle package that our bill would actually go up $30 more a month than what we are paying now.
I am having a hard time believing that. I heard him on the phone the day he ordered it saying $30 to add the other channels that I wanted.
I'm going to have to stop by the cable office and ask for myself.

However, when we got our new bill, which we got the day after he paid it, the monthly charge is now $21 more than it was anyway. He also told me that day that we were locked in for another year on the price we've been paying.
Wednesday, his day off, went by without him going to the office with the bill and asking about the increase.

I've been thinking of going ahead and doing Amazon Prime once my 30 day trial is over.
I've already cancelled netflix.
Amazon Prime is going up from the $79 a year to $99, but that won't effect me, I still get it for the $79. I would have to worry about the $99 next March.

Let's see. No, you don't get near the choices of what you can stream free with amazon prime compared to netflix, but still more than enough to always find something to watch. With amazon prime you also get access to free ebooks. And, you can't forget the free 2 day shipping.
I know lots of people online who only have a prime account for the free shipping.

Netflix would come to $95.88 a year at the $7.99 a month......and no free ebooks or free shipping from amazon. With that, I think amazon prime would still be well worth the $99 a year.

I'm curious as to what my readers think about Amazon Prime. This increase in price comes after years of it staying the same price per year, despite the continual rise in cost of shipping.

Your turn! Please share posts this week.....as well as your thoughts on what I have written.

Squidoo Hopping 3/13/14

It's Wednesday evening and again I am putting this in and scheduling to post.  I have to run my mom early in the morning.....too lazy to get up early enough to post this before I go.

We have internet back at home now since Friday evening.
Here's the sad part.   I feel like I got more done when I was having to go to the library for my computer work.
Each morning I had a plan of what I wanted to accomplish online for the day.  Each day I had my papers and such organized and ready for the day.

I told myself I was going to keep it up....that didn't even work for one day!

I didn't update or build any lenses this week.  I did visit quite a few lenses of others......especially since joining the Giant Squids group on google+.  This is going to be a good group for me to be in.

Squidoo on my friends!

WIP Wednesday 3/12/14

My husband did pay the cable bill Friday after work and we got our internet back.  In the meantime, Monday-Thursday evening, not being able to be on the computer, I got in a LOT of sewing time.
I still stayed up past midnight each night.  I can look at that as a plus.

I only sewed on the 96 log cabin blocks.  I completed all of them.  Below is the layout for the quilt top, which is going to end up a lap quilt due to my log cabins being made with one inch strips.
Since taking this picture, I did sew them together.  I chose not to take a photo and will have a photo when I get the top done.
I am trying to figure out how to do mitered borders and have a lady who is going to help me with that this afternoon at my stitch group.

Yesterday was the monthly sewing club meeting at church.  This is my progress on the quilt as you go that I am working on there.
I also took the time yesterday to cut the rest of my sashing strips and get the binding made.

I am in the middle of making a special order quilt with race cars.  Wish me luck please.  Special orders make me so nervous because I am so afraid of messing up.
This is the first time I've tried fusible batting.  I think I like it, but not sure yet.

One of the ladies at church gave me a bag of plain colored fabrics and a large bag of batting yesterday.  What a blessing!  This will enable me to finish up some of the UFO's on my lists below.
I have changed my UFO list again as I've decided to make 1 log cabin wall hanging and one log cabin table runner instead of 2 wall hangings.

UFO's:
Log Cabin quilt
Log Cabin wall hanging
Log cabin table runner
Rectangle quilt
2 rectangle table runners (one done)
challenge wall hanging
GoodNight Irene quilt/wall hanging
Quilt for sewing club at church
 (Finished) Applique Bunnies quilt
 (Finished) Penny Patch Quilt
Yo-Yo Table runner
Hexagon table topper
(Finished) Spoolin' Around

NewFO's
Sunflower table runner and matching placemats
Spiderweb quilt
Easter wall hanging
Cat wall hanging
Christmas bags (total of at least 25)

Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review and Giveaway

NEW Dial® Deep Cleansing Hand Soap is the latest Dial® Brand hand soap bringing luxury to your hand washing experience.

I received 2 of the scents available:  yellow raspberry &black sugar and water blossoms.

 I have put the yellow raspberry & black sugar at the kitchen sink.

I have placed the water blossoms scent in our front bathroom.

These are larger 8 oz bottles of hand soap.   Such pretty colors and the scents are awesome.
They have micro-scrubbers inside that you can feel as you wash your hands.  These help gently remove dirt from your hand, leaving them feeling smooth and refreshed.

I'm partial to the color yellow.  I love the scents of both that I was scent, but enjoy the gentle scent of the water blossoms the best of the 2.

The moisturizing formula helps to give you clean and healthy hands and skin.  This hand soap will visibly improve skin dryness while leaving them feeling smooth and refreshed.

We are loving having them!

Frugal Friday With Marsha 3/7/14

I am finding that I just don't know what to write about this week.
My husband hadn't paid the cable bill in 2 months and we are now without internet at home.
I am having to attempt to get my things done time permitting at the public library.
I am finding this very stressful.

At one point to save money we had went to just the very basic cable channels and internet.
I am guilty of asking him to add the channels back up to 63 as I was missing the tv series that I enjoy watching.
He's a sucker for a salesperson and was talked into getting the bundle package.  So, instead of adding $30 a month to the bill, he ended up adding $100.  I told him right away to take it back, he never did.
We've been discussing it lately, but he still didn't do it.
I'm not on the bill or authorized to make decisions on it.

To say that I am still mad is an understatement.  I just feel like he's really 'screwed me over' as he knows that the majority of the money that I earn is earned through the computer.

I know there are tons of people out there that only use their public library, or other free wifi places for their internet.  Hey!  if I had some money to buy at least drink for my daughter and I, we could go to Wendy's late night for internet time.
I will keep that in mind if and when I do get a few $$ in my wallet.

I do hope that you will link up some money saving posts this week....motivational posts of some sort.  Please.

I am still reading Lean Body Fat Wallet.  I have tried to discuss the things from the book with my husband but he is blowing it all off as impossible......even the part of keeping track of what is coming in and what is going out.  He says he doesn't remember what he spends (which is a HUGE problem) and that he won't take the time to carry along a little notebook to keep track.
I know what he spends where for the most part from his checking account statement as he almost always uses his checkcard.  It's the times when he gets money from the ATM that I don't know where it was spent.

Does anyone else have a spouse that is uncooperative in living a frugal/simple life and spends and spends?

Again, please do link up this week.  I really need some encouraging posts to read.  Thanks!!

Squidoo Hopping 3/6/14

 

We no longer have internet at home, so I am having to work from the library when I can.
I am going to try to keep up with the things that are most important to me....my blog, bubblews, squidoo. swagbucks, my email, and a couple of paid to clicks that i do.

I'm actually writing this and scheduling it to post as I'm not sure what time I can make it here to the library to post it.

You won't believe it, but I actually updated a lens today.  I had intended to update 2...picking 2 of the 7 that I hadn't gotten to yet on deciding the 20 amazon to keep.
I did the Dora the Explorer lens.
The amazon was the easy part as I was only 2 over the 20.  One of those links wasn't good anymore.
The hard part was....omg....I had copy and pasted major information about the characters of the show from wikipedia.  I cited that's where I got the info from and all...but talk about duplicate content!!
I went through and took out most of it, but also changed wording, paraphrases, changed sentences around etc.   I did keep the link where I found the info.
Whew!  It published at 100% with no problems....hopefully it stays that way.

I also made it to work on to approving and returning some of the comments in my dashboard as well.
I'm going to truly try to work in squidoo daily, even if it's just returning a couple of comments.

This is day 3 of having to work from the public library when I am able.  So far I'm seeing that this may just be good for me.  I've had to be more organized and more thorough in getting done what needs to be done in a day.
Plus, when I am home in the evenings I am working on sewing and reading more.
Wish me luck!

I hope to see lots of link ups this week!!  Thanks to those who always take the time to check in.  I will be adding my links to the link up some time during the day.

WIP Wednesday 3/5/14--Retreat Report!

My first quilt retreat was awesome!!
Despite a winter storm coming in that closed us up early the second night, it was so much fun.
I won 3 door prizes, plus they gave us one awesome goodie bag too.
I added up the retail pricing of my goodie bag contents and my prizes and they came to $69.25.  This doesn't include the goodies such as the notepad and pen, 6 inch ruler, stylus, etc that they gave us printed with the quilt shop logo.  Then you add in that we were fed 4 meals and lots of snacks and oh my, it was so worth the $75 that we paid (plus sales tax).

I have lots of pictures to share with you this week.  I got a lot done!!

When we got to the quilt shop we were given nametags that one of the employees had made.  They are also a coaster.
Here is a picture of what was in the goodie bag.  The bag itself is so cool too.....it's roomy and has a zipper at the top.

I asked one lady to take a picture of me sewing.  It's rare that I get in any of the pictures.

I was working on my log cabin blocks in the picture above.  I got 3 more strips sewn on each of the 92 blocks that I am working to complete.  The picture below I took at home.  I pressed that 3rd strip once I was home that night. 
I've done more work since, and with any luck, this time next week I will actually have my tops sewn.

I also worked some on my hexagons.

I worked some on adding more yo-yo's to the table runner that I am making.

Here are the only 2 photos I managed to take around the room.  I wish I had taken more....such as the snack table up close and our meals.

I finished my Spoolin' Around mini table treat.

I also finished one of my scrappy rectangle table runners.

I would call the weekend a success wouldn't you??

The Perfect Bib by Toppy Toddler!! Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was excited to have the opportunity to check out The Perfect Bib.
I have 2 grandchildren the right ages.  Killian and Zelda are my models for this review.

A little information about the Perfect Bib:
Made by Toppy-Toddler
Plenty of options on how you can use the bib.
It's compact, eco-friendly, and comes in bright styles and colors.
It's simple, water-resistant, and dryer friendly.
It will give you less time cleaning and more freedom.
Recommended for ages 9 months to 3 years.
Made with ecoPUL which is a water-proof, solvent-free,environmentally friendly adhesive.
Pricing is low at just $11.99 for the basic Perfect Bib or $19.95 for the deluxe addition.  Both offer FREE shipping!!
The Deluxe edition is equipped with a Nuby suction bowl.

Here we have Killian having a snack of Oreo cookies wearing the Perfect Bib.  Just simply detach the top part, flip and snap, and you are set.   This will catch the crumbs and other pieces as they fall.

The Perfect Bib when it's flipped and snapped can also be used to hold the snack.  In this photo of Killian, his banana pieces on in the flip and snap part.

The Perfect Bib is perfect to cover the high chair and still also be a bib for easy clean up.  Here we have Zelda having her snack using the bib.  When she heard that I wanted to get a picture of it being used on the high chair she said, "me! me!" and ran and got right in the chair.
She is a little cutie who will be 3 on June 5.

Here is Killian for diaper changing time.  We are using the bottom part of the Perfect Bib for a changing pad.  This would work wonderfully in public restrooms on the changing tables.  If you do make a mess on the pad, ir will wipe off easily.  Killian will be 9 months old on March 25th.

They say that once your child outgrows the Perfect Bib they can still have fun with it by using it as a superhero cape.  Here we have Zelda wearing it for a cape.  She did have fun!

I Don't See Heaven by Jennifer Adan--Review and Giveaway

Published by Simon & Schuster, I Don't See Heaven tells the story of Isabella, a young girl who goes on her very first plane ride with her parents to visit with her grandmother. While on the plane, Isabella learns that she may not be able to physically visit her grandfather in Heaven, but is reassured that he is always with her, in her thoughts and in her heart. I Don't See Heaven is the story of a little girl's journey to the truth as she learns an important life lesson about how to keep love alive after a death.

I read I Don't See Heaven at bedtime to my 4 year old grandson and 6 year old granddaughter when they spent the night.
They both enjoyed the story and they really enjoyed the illustrations that go with the story.
The illustrations really make the story come more to life.

I took the book to our Tuesday morning Bible study and had the others read it too.  They all agreed that this is a cute book.  The story is short and pretty much to the point.

Even though Isabella couldn't see heaven, and couldn't see her grandpa in heaven, she learns that she can still see him in her heart and remember the good times.

The book is illustrated by E.A. Morando who studued music and is currently a middle school music teacher.
Once my daughter pointed out that a music teacher did the drawings in the book, we all started seeing things differently in the illustrations.  Music notes strewn about and books with titles of instruments.
Funny how different things stand out to different people.
I want to share a photo that I took of one of the illustrations:

I Don't See Heaven is an enjoyable book with a life lesson for all.  Read it, and read it again and again.  Cute book!
