Product Follow Ups ….A Few of My Favorite Things

 I went to Half price Books yesterday and bought a knit pattern book.  I'm going to make this Vested Interest Vest for myself.   It is going to take me a very long time to knit it.  

I'll only give occasional updates. 

Biggy yarn and needles hurt my arms and hands, therefore I can only knit a bit of this at a time. 

The pattern is ridiculously simple so I can leave it and return to it easily. 

(Beatles is not interested in going out today, even if it is 20 degrees)  

I liked Half Price Books.  

*I love my vacuum.   I have an Electrolux Ergo 18 volt cordless vacuum.   We have next to no carpet in our home.  Just some throw rugs and bare wood floors.  

I will never go back to a corded vacuum again.  

You can imagine why-

*I am happy with our Sears Eliptical purchase of a year ago.

Zach and I use the machine in very different settings. 

I force myself to go on it almost daily now that work is slow.

We paid about 800 dollars for it. 

It is most definitely worth 3 dollars a day for the first year and free thereafter.  

*My Sony Cibershot camera for 50 bucks on clearance from Target ( awhile back)  surely suffices.  It isn't fancy. 

I notice a distinct difference in my images, but I'm too frugal to buy anything else now.   Funny how I can't damage the cheap one but the expensive cameras jumped out of my hands to their death within months of purchase.

*My cats love their water fountain. 

It is made by FreshFlow. I think I bought it from Drs Foster and Smith.

*I had a concern about Purina cat food recently and contacted them by email.  They got back to me the next day. 

They sent me a 45 dollar coupon for my inquiry. 

We have fed Purina to our animals for 31 years. 

I have had veterinarians, family vets and dog trainers all tell me that their products are thoroughly researched and hard to beat. 

I'm sure some of you disagree, but I do like their customer service and our pets have a track record of longevity and health. 

*Fireman bought me an Isprout watch that arrived broken at Christmas.  I am still trying to get a new watch from them. 

Yesterday, I called Discover as it was purchased on that card, and they are intercepting. 

*Finally, 

I am happy with the USPS.  I don't think I've ever had a lost package in recent years.  Our mailman works in these frigid temps and I'm amazed.  

Are you particularly happy with any products these days??
