I recently reviewed the new laundry cleaning supplement, Smelly Towel. It’s a really weird name, but the stuff works!

Over the summer I reviewed the product called Smelly Washer. It was a good time to try out the stuff– summers are humid here, and my 16-year old washing machine was starting to smell a little…. uh…. shall we say, “funky.” I think Smelly Washer did OK… but you had to let the washing machine [...]

Got a baby on baby formula? Here’s a terrific tip for saving money for feeding your baby: BUY GENERIC.
