Love this thread! I missed so many of these ideas but now I am taking copious notes. :-B
Egg thingy
Rice cooker
Bosch dishwasher
Triscuits
Books - thanks to CC Book Club and the Best Book thread
L’Oreal visible lift makeup
Egg thing
Some great TV shows that I would have never watched
Naviance - read about it here, introduced the idea to our large public school counselors and got our PTO to pay for it. Big win for our counselors and families thanks to CC.
Yesterday pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks because a helpful post on the Best Buy thread - posted about Starbucks $3 lattes from 2-5 until 25 th I think
Numerous books and binge watching things I never would have selected otherwise, egg thingy, instapot, peach peeler - a life saver in peach season, Ahnu and Clarks shoes for walking around Europe. Deals thread is where I usually find out about Starbucks coupons. I think there must be more but that is off the top of my head.
I forgot… Broadchurch, Doc Martin and Friday Night Lights. Would have never started them up without the recommendations.
The Baggallini bags for me too! I have had a few!!!
Many TV series, a discount on Retin A (went from $75 to $29!), a blog called hot and flashy, rapid lash, speed queen washer and dryer, Roth IRA and, I’m sure, many other things that aren’t coming to mind at the moment.
Can someone share the name of the egg thingy? I didn’t jump on the bandwagon at the time but I still struggle to make perfect hard boiled eggs. Want to give it a try now.
And, I too, see the Parent Cafe as a place for people like me (in age, stage in life, parent, etc.) to share ideas, concerns, etc. and, well, I really enjoy the time I spend here

D says don’t forget her futon. The linen covered one from Walmart/Target. Going into year 2 looking much better than the fake suede S1 had.
What’s the official name of the L’Oreal tube mascara?
Wondering what happened to that thread? Has nobody bought anything new and exciting? I haven’t BTW.
I forgot about the Baggalini! Yep…that too!
My mother-of-the-groom dress! And gazillion other things over the last 14 years.

Prepaid D1’s senior year tuition of college at the price it would have been during her senior year of high school effectively saving something like 16% of the cost of her senior year tuition. That’s a 16% tax free return over 3 years.
Found out about Hotwire for hotels near D’s college is on this site.
Most of our vacation recommendations for Napa/Sonoma Valley from wine to restaurants to galleries to places to hike. Too many books to list.
