Hello!
My name is Holly
and today I will be your Product Review Specialist.
It's a self appointed title.
And I am humbled to have this honor bestowed upon me.
By me.
Let's just move along, shall we?
I want to tell you all about a product line
that I've come to love.
LA's Totally Awesome
This is a spot remover and degreaser.
I use it on my appliances.
Works like magic on the panel of the stove
behind the knobs where the grease can be bad.
Just spray and wipe.
I have used both the window cleaner
and the carpet cleaner.
They are both just as good as the expensive name brands.
The window cleaner has never left streaks.
I have not used the detergent but
I do use the fabric softener.
Why do we pronounce the "t" in soft.
But we don't when we say softener?
I don't like that.
Jo was an English teacher
so perhaps she can clear this up for us.
Or clear it up for me if no one else cares.
I care, Jo.
I care.
Where was I?
Oh, the fabric softener.
Works just like Downy
or the other expensive brands.
LA's Totally Awesome has a huge product line
which you can find here.
And the best thing about it?
All these products are
One Dollar!
I don't believe you heard me!
ONE DOLLAR!
$1.00
100 pennies
Uno Buckaroo.
You can find these products at any of these stores:
And don't even try to tell me that you don't have a dollar store in your town.
When my husband and I drive through different towns,
it's a game we play.
Count the Dollar Stores.
Fun, aren't we?
You may not have a post office,
gas station,
library,
or even a stop sign.
But I'll bet you've got at least three dollar stores.
Also, I just want to say that I don't think they should be
allowed to call themselves dollar stores if they sell things for over a dollar.
This irks me.
I just looked up the definition of irked:
irk (ûrk)
To be irritating, wearisome, or vexing to.
So yes, that would be correct.
It vexes the heck outta me.
I should probably go now.
Holly

Ooh we have a game we play around here called "How many churches are there in a 1 mile strip". Seeing as we are in the bible belt here there are many many churches on 1 mile of THE SAME STREET!
well..we have a dollar store but it is not a dollar..and that irks me too..sometimes...but not always because it is still cheaper than Safeway...so there you go...I'm a little irked...lol..
Oh good to know. I will have to pick some up. We do have 99cents stores here.
Oh, oh--hand waving wildly--I know those products. I haven't used the degreaser stuff but the carpet cleaner and window cleaner is dandy. I must try that!
About the t in softener, I don't have the energy to look it up, but I believe it is softly pronounced if you want to be correct, but few of us do. Like we don't say the first r in February but we're supposed to. English is pretty much a crap shoot as to the rules. I think that's an official proclamation in a textbook I read once. (I'm retired you know--like tired and then re-tired. hahaha) Of course we have several dollar stores. But you're right, it's irksome when they charge more. Life is so confusing to me sometimes.
Hilarious. One of your best posts.
What are you smokin?
That's great to know good looking out Holly!
XO
My town has a whopping 2300 people and even WE have a DOLLAR STORE!!!
I'm SO excited to know about your recommendation Holly and am going to sprint right over and see if the de-greaser is for sale. Well, not SPRINT actually, but ride over in the cool comfort of my car with the A/C blasting my hair.
Hey, I MARRIED an English professor so my language skills are pretty good. Or is it pretty WELL?
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart Holly. I now have a mission today since there is NADA going on here. I am ever-grateful.
DS here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Word Verification is CALOULA: kinda like a Diet Coke I think. "I'd like a Caloula with my pizza, please".
Guess what holly, my little ol town does NOT have a dollar store.(gasp) I know, I know, it's crazy. Heck we don't even have a stop light. I would really like to purchase some awesome cleaners so I need to take a trip! Thanks for the super post!
Guess I'm going to have to head over to the 99cent store!
I'm back....it was $1. Now to de-grease my stove.
My FAVORITE job after cleaning toilets.
Can't go wrong with that price!!! I will look for it!
I recently visited a Dollar Store and went to the counter several times to ask the price of things...every time the very bored clerk answered without looking up: "a dollar", "a dollar", "a dollar" "still a dollar". Finally he just pointed to a sign of the store name and said: "LADY - the name of the store is EVERYTHING'S A DOLLAR, OK?"
I tried to explain my confusion because not every dollar store really means it, but he didn't seem very interested.
I love product reviews, real stuff used by real people in real homes..can't get much better than that!
Thanks Holly :)
We have lots of dollar stores up here. I'll definitely look for the degreaser stuff.
Well since you are the product review specialist and all, I will keep my eye out for this fantastic stuff.
But I hate our dollar store. It is ghet-to. Do I hafta go there to get it? :)
I use the spot remover and degreaser all the time. Now I will look for the other products. Thanks for the tip!
I will have to go to the Dollar Store and pick up the carpet cleaner. We spilled icky plant water on Grandma's off-white church people visit room.
I too find it irksome when a dollar store is not a true dollar store.
