Jun 24, Deciding on Dish Detergents

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:37:36 GMT

The Consumer Reports May 2011 issue confirmed what I've suspected for a long time. All those colourful, scented dish detergents in the supermarket are much the same. Just grab the cheapest one.

They did some tests and found that the expensive and 'green' detergents really don't do any better than the lowest price per ounce. Ajax and Kirkland Signature (from Costco) work out to only 6 cents per ounce, and they do better than some (gasp!) that cost .29 and .94 an ounce, like Dawn Direct Foam and The Laundress 2-in-1.

Even the ones that claim they are safe for septic tanks, are free of fragrances and dyes, and are all natural have no way of defining and proving their claims. Nor is there any official definition for terms like 'natural.'

They do warn that antibacterials should be skipped. The USA government says they don't clean any better, and they might lead to tougher strains of bacteria that are harder to fight - health-wise.

So be a smart, frugal shopper, and just pick up the cheapest, or look for a scent you really like, and leave the anti-bacterial detergents alone.

Jan 7, Lots of Online Shops Accessible to Canadians

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:46:02 GMT

I've been prowling around on the internet for a while this week, looking to see how many online shopping sites or stores there are that Canadians particularly can access. So often we Canadians complain that anything of value can only be found south of our border (into the USA) and some of those online merchants seem to think it is too difficult to ship our orders up this way to us.

Well, I've been pleasantly surprised to find several sites that specialize in providing links to shops either in Canada, or willing to ship to Canadian addresses.

There is CyberShopping.ca which has catorgized 1850 online shops that are available to Canadians.

VirtualMall.ca is another one that focuses particularly on the artists and specialist in the Kootenay area of BC, but it also provides links to stores and services welcoming to Canadian online shoppers.

Canadian-Online-Shopping-Mall.com is yet another, but I see in google that you can find more if you keep drilling down the list of results.

This is great news for Canadians! And you know that we have the reputation for being the nation that is the most internet savvy, and has the most per capital people online, right? We have a pace to set!
