Vacuum sealer, save money on your food bill

I already own a food saver brand. The one I own is about the size of this one. I was super excited for this one to arrive When it arrived I could not wait to try it out. It arrived securely packaged, there was no need to worry about it getting damaged during shipping.

I did what I always do when I get items in the mail and that is to check out the quality and look for defects. I want to make sure I am getting what I pay for. The over all construction of this sealer is really nice. I could compare it to my much more expensive food saver one. The controls of this one is much more user friendly though. It does come with a nice user manual, even though I did not need to read it because I previously own one.

It came with a few bags to start off with. This will help you get used to using it and so you realize how much easier this will make your life. I have a large family and only have my husband's income so I bulk shop when I do. Meats are way cheaper when bought in bulk. I am left breaking down the packages and then placing in freezer bags until I got my original vacuum sealer. I would have to use 2 ziplock bags sometimes just to make sure the meats did not get freezer burnt. I have found with these vacuum sealers that my meats will last a lot longer in the freeze then, they do with ziplock bags. I hate throwing away meat that has gone bad or freezer burnt, because that is a waste of money that I just don't have to waste.

I have also found, just trying it out that it will seal chip bags. I do not know how many times I have tossed stale chips out because my children leave the bags open. I think I am going to teach them how to seal it with this device. I know they love to use kitchen gadgets so this will be right up their alley!

When it comes to using, it is super simple, as I stated I am going to teach my children. That is how easy it is. You just put the desired item in the sealer bag, place the end in the sealing chamber, press lid down on both sides until you hear a click. Then you press the option you want. You can just seal it with out removing the air or remove air and then seal it. When you chose what you want to do, the lights will turn red while it is in progress once it is done the lights return to the normal blue color. My husband agrees with me, that this one seems to be a lot faster than my food saver. He was the one that pointed out the time. I was surprised that he was paying that much attention to how well this one worked.

I tried this out on a bag of M&M's just for photo reasons, so I had something to show in my review. Once it was done, All the air was out of the package. I am super pleased with this product. I have to say comparing it to my food saver, I wish I had seen this one first to say all the money I spent on my original vacuum sealer! I also love that you can chose what color you want it in! You will not go wrong with this product for the cost, and the amount of money you will save in the long run! I am one happy camper with this purchase! You can check it out HERE

Fairy Garden

I really love this little set. I love fairy gardens. I actually have several in my big gardens in the front of my house. These are on a smaller scale than the ones I have in my gardens, and I feared that they would get "lost" in the mulch that I have in my real gardens. These were perfect to start at fairy village in one of the flower pots on my porch.

This set comes with a main house, and several smaller houses, tiny windmills and cute little mushroom houses. You can leave the set together or break them up because of the different sizes. The main large house I feel that I could use in my normal garden because it is much larger than the others. The details on this house is great. I know that small items can sometimes lose a lot of details and that was not the case with these.

I live in Florida and the sun can be brutal and I have had these in the direct sunlight and the colors are still as vibrant as the day I got them. They have held up really well in all the rain that we have been having as well. The only issue I found with these, are the fact they are super cute and no I think I have an addiction to having a miniature fairy garden. Over all I really pleased with my purchase !! I would recommend these to anyone wanting to start or improve their fairy garden. You can order your own HERE

Great car cover

I read the reviews, that were previously written and I still wanted to try this out. I am a firm believer that I need to see it for myself. I did not see any previous photos, by the reviewers to really see the quality of this product. I am so glad that I chose to try it out for myself. You will not be able to beat the price.

When this arrived, it came in a box and with a lot of pieces. I was for sure that I was going to need my husband's help to put this together. I waited till the weekend so he could help me, yet he was tired so I enlisted the help of my 12 year old. When I started to pull out the pieces, I noticed that everything had stickers on them telling me what pieces they were. I organized them by the letters/ numbers so I could just grab and go. I took photos to include with my review so you could see the pieces.

The directions come on one sheet of paper, front and back. I was thinking that they would be hard to follow because it was a lot of pieces for one sheet of paper. The directions had diagrams of how they should look. I was able to follow them with ease. I never once had to double guess as I was putting this together. The framework was up with in I would say 15-20 minutes. The poles are made of a metal. and the connector pieces are made of a nice thick hard plastic. The frame is nice and sturdy once it is up in place.

The directions have you place half the leg height together and then place the canopy on. That is where I needed help to make it easier. Yes it is something I could have done on my own, but why do it on your own when you have help. My 12 year old and I got it on no problem, or so we thought there was no problem. We placed the cover on inside out. The velcro was on the outside and it needed to be on the inside. We had to flip the tarp over and put it back on, so make sure you are putting it on with the velcro facing the poles so you can attach it.

The tarp is made of a light weight material. Just like a normal tarp would be made of. I did not find any defects or flaws in the tarp. It fit the framework nice and tight. The velcro straps were attached nicely and was made out of very sturdy velcro. We then raised it to it's full height and placed the feet on the bottom. The corners of the tarp attach to the legs of the frame with a little metal hook.

The side panels are made of the same tarp material. They attach with Velcro. The sides have clear plastic windows so it allows light into the "garage". The sides attach with the same velcro that is on the top of the "garage". My best friend said this would be perfect for my cook outs that I have several times a year. I know that rain has made us all hide inside the house. This would allow us to still sit outside and put the sides up if, the rain is coming in on the sides. I am actually going to leave the sides off, because I just want to cover the top of my car. My driveway has a tree next to it and birds nest in there and poop on my car. I am having to wash my car about every 2 days and that becomes a time consuming or money consuming job, depending if I pay to have it done or do it myself.

Over all I am really pleased that I chose to get this and try it out for myself. You will not be able to find something this nice for the price! You can check it out to buy one as well, HERE
