Target Shoppers Beware
June 20, 2006
Let me start by saying that Target has been one of my favorite stores for many years. I have a great Super Target one mile from my home and I visit the store at least twice a week. I have even commented to friends on how it’s so easy to make returns at Target.
Yes, there are a few rules, but I know them and they are easy enough to deal with:
- Keep your receipts or pay with a credit card or check (they can look those purchases up in their system without the original receipt), AND
- Return within 90 days of purchase (not a problem for me, I’m pretty organized)
Since I shop at Target so much, it’s fair to say that I’ve done a good bit of returning at Target. I’ve always complied with the two rules above and my returns have never been questioned and are usually processed within 5 minutes or less.
Tip of the Week: Sparkling Dishes
June 19, 2006
Don’t you love spending your day waiting on a repairman? I usually get the 8:00 a.m. - noon window and then he’ll show up about 1:30 p.m. therefore wasting my entire morning. But, this time it was actually worth the wait because Mr. Dishwasher Repairman gave me an excellent tip that is now my first Tip of the Week to the SharpMoms.
My problem: lots of soapy residue in the dishwasher leaving my glassware very cloudy and my flatware full of rainbow spots. It was really becoming upsetting and I was beginning to think I’d have to purchase new glassware/flatware because even hand scrubbing would not remove the damage. But, my world is clear now due to one new dishwasher pump (poor spinning was leaving a lot of soap behind) and Mr. Dishwasher Repairman’s tip: Lemi Shine.
He told me I’d find Lemi Shine at Wal-Mart and that it would make everything like new, undoing the damage cause by the previous pump. I was skeptical, but this stuff works like magic. And, I mean magic! I am blinded by the shine. And, that was all with one tablespoon. Check it out. It really works!
Beachside Book Review #1
June 14, 2006
I just finished The Wedding, by one of my favorite authors, Nicholas Sparks. The book came out a couple of years ago, but I just got around to reading it. It’s a sequel to The Notebook, which you may have read or seen at the theatre.
The Wedding, centers around the daughter and son-in-law of Noah Calhoun from The Notebook. It’s a really touching, sweet, romantic story written from the husband’s point-of-view. Definitely an easy summer read.
Now, if only I could get my husband to read it and take some notes! Romantic husband? I like it!
