Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
Tanit Dishwaser Detergent Tablets I was interested to see that Tanit had branched out from their beauty line to include household products as well. I liked that these tabs come in biodegradable bags, but they're still quite pricey for what they are. I usually buy the Envirowise tablets, which are 80 for $18 compared to... Continue Reading →
Ovry Pregnancy Test Strips - 18 pack I originally purchased these in November 2022 to ease my mind as I have an irregular cycle. Cost: $40 + tax My cost: $44.80 Highlights: Minimal Packaging Manufactured in Canada Cost Effective A More Eco-friendly Alternative Manufactured in: British Columbia Company Base: Revelstoke, BC Established in: 2020 In...

I'm always a bit confused when the MSRP listed on the contents page is different than what the companies are selling their own products for. For example, the Blooming Wild Botanicals lotion bar is $18 on their website, but listed at $22 on Let's Go Eco's sheet. I can't quite figure this out. Is it... Continue Reading →
This one was a shocker. I usually get the current month's box 7-15 days into the month. I have a spreadsheet, so I know exactly when the previou ones came. The June box, however, arrived on May 30! They completely bucked the trend on this one, and I can't help but wonder why. Vacation? Preparedness?... Continue Reading →
Start: Summer 2022 End: Spring 2023 Total Spent: $501.76 including tax Total Value: ~$800 before tax Unlike most subscription boxes, The Maple Box does not do a lot of communicating. There are no annoying requests for feedback, or selling add-ons, no newsletters, or really anything. It's basically radio silence. There aren't even shipping updates. When... Continue Reading →
Manmade Boxer Briefs 7-Pack I decided to go for the 7-pack for these reasons: Free shipping over $30. The cost goes down from $24/pair to $22/pair. Tony goes through underwear almost as fast as he goes through socks. If he likes them, he might as well have lots of them. If he doesn't, he'll still... Continue Reading →
When Maple arrived, it was a surprise. I thought it was the first summer box to arrive. I was wrong. The winter box arrived so late, and other summer boxes have already arrived (I'm looking at you FabFitFun) that I forgot they hadn't yet sent their spring box. Ta da! There's the spring box arriving... Continue Reading →
It's interesting that since they stopped including the information sheets in the boxes, they only revealed the contents online a couple times. Is this a sign that Loti Wellness is going downhill? Will Loti still be around next year? It feels like it's going the way of Extraordinary Man Box. April's box contents reveal still... Continue Reading →
Modern Mallows I picked up a few bags of these at The Mango Market late last year. The flavours I picked up were: Bailey's Irish Cream Blackberry Mint Chocolate Chip Chocolate Hazelnut I also tried a few other flavours that I didn't purchase, which have now escaped my memory. Cost: $20 for 4? I don't... Continue Reading →
Ryobi 40V 20" Brushless Lawn Mower I know this isn't the typical type of item that I review, but I am grumpy about this so had to get it off my chest. Cost: $488 + tax My cost: $510.72 Highlights: Cordless Battery operated Self-propelled option Manufactured in: Vietnam Company Base: Japan Established in: 1943 Overall... Continue Reading →
