Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
This is our final month of T-Surprise. It's not a bad subscription, but I'm not going to miss it. With some exceptions, the surprises weren't great, and the treats often left a lot to be desired. We did have some great teas, but some mediocre teas as well. The content cards were often incorrect, and... Continue Reading →

Because many of the food items expire fairly soon, I'm prioritizing the boxes with food before the rest. I chose a 3-month long subscription for this snack box. The Balanced Company Big Snacker Subscription Box Overview Cost: $58.99 + tax + shipping My Cost: $56 + tax + shipping Value: Unknown Box Value: Frequency: Monthly... Continue Reading →
I've had quite the time with The Balanced Company. I ordered a lot from them back on June 17, including the Father's Day Box, which I thought for sure would ship before the subscription boxes. It did not. Everything ended up being scheduled to ship on July 4 with a promised tracking number. I did... Continue Reading →
My sister is such a doll and purchased me this subscription when she found out that I'm pregnant. I was very touched by that gesture. I can't find when or where this company started, but most of the products were designed in Canada, so I'm guessing it's a Canadian company. Their market must be mostly... Continue Reading →
Do not subscribe to Loti. That's my advice. Start: August 2022 End: June 2023 Total Spent: $773.18 including tax Total Value: ~$1100 before tax Ahh Loti. The inspiration for getting subscription boxes that ended with a whimper and a phone call to Visa. They didn't *quite* fulfill my commitment, but charged me for the last... Continue Reading →
So we didn't get our bonus socks in June, and they were not sent with the May socks that arrived very, very late. We also didn't get the bonus socks for June in July. Sockbox must have a terrible way of organizing what exactly they are supposed to be shipping out and when. The fact... Continue Reading →
Now that I'm pregnant I have to be somewhat cautious about the teas I drink. It's a bit frustrating, but apparently must be done. Most of the herbs on the "do not drink" list I wouldn't consider drinking for pleasure anyway. This month's teas seem to check out and look delicious. Tea Runners (Canada) Overview...

It's summer, and seeing cows on socks reminds me that I need to stock up on hay. Every year it gets harder to find hay. The people who hay around here are generally old men and the younger generation either don't want to or can't afford to do it (or they charge ridiculous amounts... $300... Continue Reading →
