SAVE ON PLANT MISTERS

April 27th 2013 13:57
Indoor gardening season is upon us in the higher latitudes.
Many avid vegetable and flower gardeners have their flats
of seedlings started, waiting for the great day with the danger
of frost is past when they can be transplanted outside.

Water misters are a great tool for watering the fragile
seedlings but they can be rather pricey at garden centers.

Instead of buying one, why not just recycle spray bottles
which once contained other household products? Febreze--
a pet odor eliminator--plastic spray bottles work great. Once
they are rinsed out of their original product, Febreze bottles

put out a nice fine mist of water for your house plants.

Other household product spray bottles will work just as
well for plant watering tasks. All one must do is thoroughly
rinse out the chemicals, fill with water and there you go.

SAVE ON EASTER CANDY

March 6th 2013 22:54
Don't buy your kids those over-priced "Easter Baskets"
in time for Easter Sunday. If your kids are expecting
an Easter Basket from Hop, the Easter Bunny, tell them,
he's not scheduled to arrive at your home until three days
after Easter because he is soooo busy these days.

Wait a few days after Easter and all the baskets full of
teeth rotting crap will be half price to 75 percent off at
most chain stores.

Better yet, give your kids some raw carrots on Easter
Sunday. The Easter Bunny eats healthy carrots right?

SEND-IT-BACK FOR FREE

December 10th 2012 23:30
Ever get something delivered in the mail that you didn't
order? You know, from say a book publisher, a DVD
purveyor or perhaps from a magazine?

You open the box and are impressed with the product
until you see the enclosed over-priced invoice. You
ask yourself, "why did these idiots send this product to me?
I didn't ask for it or order it?"

So, you hang on to the product for awhile and the scammer
company keeps sending you invoice after invoice demanding
payment for something you didn't want.

Unfortunately, this is a common marketing trick with companies
like "Cooks Illustrated," book clubs and a number of magazine
publishers.

To stop the scammer's invoices from piling up, send a letter
to the billing manager stating that you did not order the product and,
if they would like their product back, demand they send you a prepaid
shipping label.

Letters usually get the head billing clown's immediate attention to
resolve the problem to your complete satisfaction. Better to deal
with the head clown directly rather than some pion working the
phones in a sweatshop call center in Mumbai.
