Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner

August 11, 2009

I’ve been using Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner for a few years now. At first, I had a difficult time finding it at a local store that I frequent. The flooring stores were all out of the way with limited operating hours. When I found Bona at OSH, I was relieved. However, I really got excited [...]

Sometimes, the Safeway Club Price is a good deal. Sometimes, it is not. For the rest of this year, Safeway is selling a 6 lb. tube of OxiClean Stain Remover for $12.99. A dollar cheaper than OSH; however, the same price as the 15 lb. box at Costco.

Oxi Clean

August 1, 2009

Previously, I tracked the price of Oxi Clean at Costco and Target. I experienced some serious sticker shock when I spotted this tub of Oxi Clean at OSH. $13.99!

Costco sells a 10 pack of Brita filters for $41.99. The math is really easy for this one. $4.199 per filter. Target sells a 6 pack of Brita filters for $29.69, or $4.948 per filter. If you change your filter every two months, that’s six filters per year or an annual savings of $4.50 by [...]

Tide Laundry Detergent: Costco v. Coupon

July 11, 2009

How special are advertised specials? Usually, I just toss the marketing flyers straight into the recycling bin. However, this time, I decided to take a closer look. I buy laundry detergent from Costco under the assumption that more = cheaper. But is it? Costco sells a 170 oz jug of Tide HE Liquid for $20.99. [...]
