The book, movie, and tv series recommendations have definitely been helpful.
I don’t know if this counts. The recommendation to visit Aldi’s grocery store. Love their chocolates and reasonable prices.
To many to list/
Lots of books
Microwave egg thingy - use a lot
Egg cups which I haven’t used
Instant pot- can’t decide if I’ll keep or give to my D
Hoka shoes - bought them today
Vacation advice - hotels, dining, locations. I would not have taken a D Day tour if I hadn’t read about it here
Apartment search advice when my D moved to San Fran
The Columbia fleece Benton springs jacket in the good buys thread.
Color Catchers. I will forever be glad I heard about these here on cc.
Yes, my D is in awe of color catchers–so glad they keep her mixed loads from all becoming grey and pink!
Tidy Cat Breeze cat litter system
So fun to read these!
Wamsutta sheets…thanks to @JustaMom5465
Lots lol!
But not mentioned yet, the stainless steel cleaner, the best thing I’ve found for my SS appliances
And I couldn’t have planned my Italy vacation without the great people here.
Scanpans, Mantra bands, E-cloth window cleaners and TRX bands are a few I am happy to have heard about here. Thanks CC!.
Tickets to Hamilton – saw full original cast in March, 2016 thanks to CC discussion of the show in October, 2015.
I think there have been products but can’t remember. But definitely other things.
One "saved " our life. D1 unexpectantly had no place to live in NYC, as an intern, due to an unforeseen bad circumstance. A CC member suggested a place. We contacted them and it turned out the person we spoke to graduated from the same college and major as our D. We were given a very good deal as a result, until my D1 could find something more affordable for the summer.
I was also told about places to eat and things to see in Cape Cod when my family spent a week there. Was told a place, out of the way hole-in-the-wall place, to get great lobster rolls. It was a dock. Ended up being a great place to visit, the dock where fishing boats came in, and the best lobster rolls we had in CC. ( The only ones better come from another HITW in Mahatten. UES 81st (?) between 3rd and Lexington I think. Delicious!!)
Revlon Lip Butter from the Lipstick thread. Don’t have time to go to malls for fancy stuff. Can pick it up on a Target run
@deb922 what was the brand of that stainless cleaner??? I’ve thought about it at the store before, but could not remember the name!!!
Not a purchase, but someone posted a chocolate (using baking cocoa) and banana smoothly recipe that I have made several times a week for years now.
the egg thingy. Dannon Oikos Key Lime Greek yogurt! Yum! Loreal tubing mascara Yay!
+1 Color Catchers-- D has them at school now.
I also bought the little single shots of pickle juice on Amazon, but H hasn’t had a single night time leg cramp since I bought them, so we haven’t tested their efficacy yet.
Sprayway stainless steel cleaner and polish (available at World Market stores).
E-Cloth also highly recommended for glass.
An allpurpose cleaner found at Dollar tree called Awesome.
