At Overstock Find It For Less

Suburban comfort, or edgy styles
Overstock.com, an online retailer, launched in 1999.  The merchandise it offers is vast – everything from health and beauty products ... to jewelry ... to shoes and apparel ... to furniture and home furnishings ... to kitchen gadgets and electronics.  In short, if you need it, Overstock probably sells it.  

The company either buys inventory from other retailers, or manages the inventory for other retailers.  Also, workers in developing countries make homemade goods especially for Overstock.

Personally, I check Overstock before buying just about anything.  There is always a great deal, plus customer service is excellent.  Low and free shipping makes buying even heavy items affordable.  I am very happy with the quality of a jute rug (with a cotton border), Wolfgang Puck slow cooker and Timex watch (with a geniune leather band) I purchased at unbeatable prices. Overstock is the place where I plan to buy my next sofa.

Also, you can find the perfect gift and have Overstock deliver it directly to out-of-town family, saving you the fuss and cost of extra postage.  Once my mother and I nearly got into a telephone spat after I sent her a beautiful pearl necklace from Overstock that she insisted could not be real pearls at the price I paid.  (How about I LOVE them!?!)  They were real, and she does love them, so all is good.  However, I must say, if I were selecting jewelry as an investment (my next life!), instead of as something pretty to wear, I probably wouldn't buy it online.  Not heirloom-grade, but very nice, indeed; the jewelry is real silver and gold with real jewels. 

As always ... research a product thoroughly, plus read all the customer reviews to avoid ordering mistakes.  In addition, customer care answers product questions online and by phone.  If you make a few purchases a year -- such as ink cartridges for a printer and/or gifts -- I recommend joining Club O -- to earn 5% (and more on exclusive products), as well as, free shipping on all your orders.  Club O quickly pays for itself.

At Overstock.com you will find true value without depleting your back account.

Irish Soda Bread: Sweet Or Savory?

Image
Photo by  All About Food I can't claim much Irish ancestry, but aren't we all Irish on St. Patrick's Day?  I do love meat and potatoes, Irish stew, cabbage, root vegetables and Irish soda bread.  I started making soda bread because it tastes similar to buttermilk biscuits, but you can substitute healthier ingredients: like butter instead of lard and whole grain flour in lieu of all white flour.  Soda bread is delicious served warm.  Here is my recipe: Irish Soda Bread For Savory Ingredients: 3 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup all purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 eggs, lightly beaten 4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed 1 ¼ cups buttermilk -  I use low fat (1.5% milkfat). optional: 1/3 cup caraway seeds For Sweet You will add  ½ cup sugar, 1 cup raisins. (= Irish American soda bread) Directions: 1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. 2. Stir the first 5 dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. 3. Mix ...

PureFlow Q17 Fan

Image
The PureFlow Q17 fan is an investment, but at $99 it is about 1/3 less than other bladeless fans. Although compact, it puts out a powerful airflow. In lieu of only 3 fan speeds, there are 12 speeds. You can easily sit it on the floor, or on top of a piece of furniture. And sans blades, no need to worry about curious children or pets getting hurt. The fan is designed to circulate air throughout an entire room. It vertically tilts 90 degrees and has a 90 degree horizontal oscillation. This keeps the air flowing in every direction. Moreover, a heavy smoker lives above me, who oddly enough, smokes at 3:00ish am and 5:30ish am every morning. What a nightmare at such vulnerable hours. The cigarette smoke migrates into my apartment and makes it hard to breathe, so I sleep with the fan sitting on a foot stool, pointed up at the ceiling. It does only some good (and I worry she will burn the place down during hours the rest of us are sleeping.) How I wish this mindless,   nocturnal being ...
