    I bought a Bissell Perfect Sweep cordless sweeper at Wal Mart about a week ago. I love the way it picks up trash, cat hair, even cat litter. The problem is that one of the wheels stopped turning, making it almost impossible to push across a rug. The User's Guide specifically said not to return...
  6. Utilities
    We were randomly without internet for over a day earlier this week, they fixed it remotely somehow, without coming here. I asked, when speaking to tech support, if we would be credited on our bill for the #of days it was down, if it was significant, they said 'oh yes, customer support will do...

    Due to accounting screw ups my husbands employer has not made a direct deposit to our account in a month. My bank only charges a service fee if you do not have direct deposits. Today we got hit with a 12.00 fee and it's not even our fault. Two paydays in a row they didn't even tell anyone...

    DH and I had some lunch today because we'd left the house with SIL before it was time to eat. No biggie... we go to Rona to get a faucet and SIL says to bring both kids to her house while we go get toilets at another Rona. The Rona we'd stopped at was completely out of the $99 dual flush...

    I thought I'd try something new.... I've been clipping & sorting & clipping some more.... I thought I'd offer a few sets here at the village. In exchange for my time clipping & sorting, I'm asking for $1 per set, and a self-addressed stamped envelope. I'll send your set of coupons out...

    As a single person I generate very little trash. I may have 1-2 bags (13 gallon kitchen size) of trash each week. I am paying between $60-$75 every 3 months for this. So, with figuring 24 bags of trash for a 12 week span at $60.....my per bag charge is $2.50! And that's on the low side. I...

    Anyone use this? Do you like it? Have any problems? Sooner or later I think we will have to succumb to 'progress' and get a mobile phone and I like the 'no frills' and 'no contract' approach they are offering. Jitterbug ? Easy to Use, No Contract Mobile Phones for Everyone ? Jitterbug.com

    Is it me or is customer service becoming a dying art? It seems like everytime I go to the bank the teller says she doesn't have the quarters or dollar bill denomination I want. To which I say can you ask another teller? Which they do and whoolah!! All of a sudden they have the quarters or...
  14. Kitchen Basics
    I am so happy. I emailed Cabot Vermont cheddar company and told them how much I love their product and asked for some coupons. See, I am from VT and even though I am in FL, I still buy only Cabot Cheddar. I love their cheese and it reminds me of home. It tends to be pricey, unless Publix is...

    After a snafu at work with my paycheck I went rounds with a customer service rep from our employee services firm (not our company, it's a company that handles our benefits) that repeatedly told me something was impossible and cut me off while I was talking. After the conversation, everything got...

    We pay 35 bucks for three months service and this includes their provided trash bin. Doesn't get much cheaper here. And you? :)

    Hi everyone! I am normally not a believer in anything that is hawked infomercial style on TV. I've seen so many Oxyclean commercials but never believed the hype and didn't want to try it because I think it's pretty darn pricey. I got a partially used bucket from my Grandmother to soak a...
