What I don't understand is that "4 easy payments of $19.95"
if you have to finance something for $80, you really cannot afford it.

), and countless sets of cleaning products and items. Huge sets of bottles and tubs in the bathroom, kitchen, and every closet with only a dab or two ever used. Also the weight loss products

Oh look. LH is posting a laundry thread......
Mate ironing is just not worth it, I was here about 10 years before I became Americanized and cottoned onto the concept of dry cleaning everything. A shirt can be laundered and pressed better than you could ever iron it for about 95 cents a piece here in LA.
Obviously shirts do not need to be dry cleaned, it's more expensive than laundering
There's one on practically every corner in West LA, you can get your work week shirts done for $5 for the whole week, some people spend that every day on Starbucks.
I'd rather make my own coffee at home and have a nice fresh pressed shirt in cellophane every day thanks very much.
Laundered and no starch thanks.
Oh yeah.................. I've been here 20 years and never bought anything off TV, had some laughs watching the stupid infommercials though

Not only do you get the bonus car caddy, but if you phone in the next ten minutes we will double it,, reduce it from four payments to 3, free batteries for life, you only pay shipping and handling, a free terry bath robe, two turby twists, a set of steak knives and a 10 times magnifying mirror. How can you turn all that down. lololol
Have you noticed how the "phone in ten minutes" usually amounts to several days?

Spacebags work fine - we have loads of them in the house.
In fact out winter coats are hanging in the cloakroom now all wrapped up in spacebags.

Were these the red pots with the holes in to drain the water out of without the need for a collander?
If so. I quite agree. Useless, unless you happen to like rust as a condiment
Also, I tried to buy a Starglider Super Mop (actually 2 for the price of 1) from Anthony Sullivan, but they were out of stock.

My FIL also bought one of those things - but he'd rather people didn't know about it
