About Me

I am 57 year old. I feel it is crucial to leave a review for those who are scared and don't know what to do when they have to buy something to keep things functioning well around the house. I don't feel reviews should be an advertisement of a seller to the degree that every review only offers a link to buy the products from one source. That trend has made reviews kind of untrustworthy in my opinion because these people are paid to write whatever the seller says is acceptable.

How I Can Help

I don't want anyone to go through what I did to find something. For instance, a protective container for oval plates if they broke their spine but still do chores, but can't reach the cabinets and don't want plates to get dust, pet hair, smoke, or sneezes on them. I found Advantus boxes with the divided top shelf works for some oval plates. As for a cover for individual plates, I found GET Industries clear plastic covers work. It took 2 years to find this solution. I can give it to you instantly

Interests

  • Lodge Cast Iron

9/23/21
Verified purchase

That's all that needs be said for those in the know. Lodge is the best cast iron you will ever get your hands on. I promise you. You can get it pre seasoned, too! I purchased a 12" Lodge skillet and lid and handle holders from Walmart. Com, where I have always bought my Lodge since I became an adult, in store. I moved far away and had to leave everything behind, so I am starting over. It would have been cheaper to buy it through Wal Mart, but I wanted to give Lodge a direct sale. It was $88.66 with shipping. There was a slight delay due to covid, but it has been so worth the wait. I've already made fried chicken and next I will make my mom's fudge recipe. RIP, mom. <3

Tip for consumers:
There may be a slight delay in shipping due to covid. Buy direct anyway. It's worth the wait.

Products used:
I use all the Lodge we have around here because it boosts the iron levels in your blood. Little known fact. Plus, no carcinogens,

  • Crate & Barrel

There were no 16x20" slabs to be found anywhere for under $75.00! I tried everywhere! Crate and Barrel had even bigger ones (16"x24") for only $49.99! I just checked the price, now. They have only gone up $10.00! I paid 10.00 and some change for shipping, 5 something for tax, and it was still 15 dollars less than everyone else not including other people's shipping and taxes. Forgive my messy hair in the image. I am so multitasking today it isn't even funny. Anyway, this slab is 3/4" thick! I love it! I can roll out my doughs and put it back behind the rolling cabinet when not in use. It matches my marble rolling pin, too. I don't accept compensation for reviews. I do this to help people stuck on what to buy and where to find it like I was. You probably won't find a slab this size cheaper.

Tip for consumers:
They have lots of other marble items,

Products used:
I use the slab fairly often. It arrived fast! I forgot to mention that, and it was extremely well packaged so that it would arrive safely.

I bought another case of oval plates but these are world Porcelana fully vitrified plates so I put away the other 2 cases I bought of different kinds. They make me happy every day. I also bought some GET Industries oval plate covers for them to keep flies away from the food. I bought a marble rolling pin, a food dehydrator, and a bunch of other stuff. My boyfriend I think I bought my big blue ice crusher from them. My boyfriend bought a mini Donner, Carnival King popcorn popper, a hot dog roller. I can't stay awake anymore to find the rest of thje pics. Sorry.

Tip for consumers:
if the shipping price is a deal breaker, get their free shipping trial for a month then unsubscribe because they have good prices.

Products used:
All of them.

The shipping CAN be murder on non commercial household shoppers, but if you are careful, you can do things a little at a time without going into cardiac arrest over the sticker shock. Their prices are actually quite fair. It's the shipping that kills you. If only they had free shipping over x amount of dollars instead of the flat rate of $99.00 a month for fee shipping. That's commercial! It's still worth shopping there as some of the things they have, you won't find anywhere else. I bought so many things in the last 6 months - year. 2 sizes of 12 to a box plain oval China plates made by Choice and Acopa, which are the same, basically, a french fry cutter made by Choice, the push plates and blade assemblies for it, a square heavy stainless egg ring which is well made, and a 20 lb bag of dry green peas. Pictured is only less than half of the peas. They were only $15.00 but by the time you add in shipping, they were $50.00. I didn't care. I was hard after vitamin rich dry goods and no place else I know of sells green dry peas. Today I'm buying the suction cup feet for the french fry cutter. I have had great customer service with webstaurantstore even one time when I had to temporarily cancel my order after I had already ordered because I forgot I had to do my vehicle registration then. Embarrassing. They were very forgiving. Nobody is paying me to say anything. I just believe in doing the right thing. Just the oval plates were a dream come true. I like eating off of oval plates. :D There's a sample of my cooking on one of the plates for a bonus. O, that was such a great meal. My boyfriend cooked the rice. I did the rest. He just ordered a commercial popcorn popper from webstaurantstore. He's a political consultant, so you can see how that might come in handy at a fundraiser for one of his clients or someting, plus, we just wanted one. I think he ordered something else, too, but I can't remember what it is.

I love this site! They simplified buying the replacement brushes I needed for my Dremel 4300. It's a brand new Dremel so the parts are for later just in case. I bought 2 sets of 2. I have included the part number in the photo in case anyone needs it and you can get a peek at the erplacementparts receipt, but I won't show personal info. The site is legit. I have vetted it for you. Have a nice day, everyone! I might ad here that they sell parts for not only Dremel brushes, but for outdoor equipment, indoor appliances, power tools of all sorts, the list is endless. If you need parts, consider them. At the time of my purchase, this was the only result I could find. Nobody else had these hard to find brushes. I'm not compensated for my reviews. I won't take rewards or pay. I do it because I know how lost I was to finally have enough money to buy a Dremel but I wouldn't buy it until I could secure a deal on some brushes as brushes are always the first thing to go on rotary tools. It was looking grim and my old rotary tool had to be tossed because the brushes cannot be changed on that brand.

Tip for consumers:
They have difficult parts to find. You're not just going to find those brushes any old place. Trust me.

Products used:
Does not apply. I bought parts for preventative maintenance.
