Why I Never Shop At Target.com

Target is one of the leading department stores in the United States today and claims to charge lower prices than many of its competitors. Target has also been one of the biggest attention grabbing department stores in the past few years with their political backings and human right ideas. Target is also connected with Pizza Hut, one of the largest pizza franchises, and Starbucks coffee, another gigantic chain and Converse, one of the leading shoe companies in the country and worldwide.

Despite all of the hype surrounding Target it is the prices that truly effect shoppers in this economy. Target claims to have a hold on good deals and often times advertises price matching, but when it comes to actually going through this process customers are forced to jump through hoops just to prove they have paid more for an item. The following items will show that Target is not the cheapest one-stop-shop around.

Rachel Ray Cookware
Rachel Ray cookware is a big name in the culinary world these days, which is why so many people seek out these great quality pans. This set comes with two sauce pans, two skillets, a saute and stockpot that are all featured on the Rachel Ray show. These pans are stainless steel with rubber handles and provide a non-stick cooking surface. They are all durable in the oven and can handle being washed in the dishwasher without taking any damage. Due to Rachel Ray being a big name Target obviously bought into this item and promises it at a low price of $189.99 on target.com, but can be found on overstock.com for $37 cheaper, or $152.99!

Halo 4
The popular new XBOX game Halo 4 was released this November and is said to be one of the top request holiday gifts of the year. Target, of course, offers many XBOX games as well as games from other consoles for sale. It is important to shop around though because often Target’s sales are not all they are supposed to be. On target.com this game is on sale for $59.99 which matches just about any other department or specialty store around; however, when this item is bought online it costs almost $20 for taxes and delivery. On upkicks.com the same game is currently on sale for $53.98, without all the extra charges.

LCD TV
LCD Television sets are highly sought out in today’s market, especially with the holiday season just around the corner. Unwrapping this Westinghouse 40 inch LCD TV would make any person smile, – movies and television will never be the same after watching anything on this TV, and gaming is also an all new experience! But buyers should be careful where they purchase this set from if they are looking to save money. Target.com offers this television set for $379.99, which seems like a great offer. However, at Walmart.com this set can be purchased for $319.98, a $60 difference from Target’s offer. This set can be purchased for even less when bought as refurbished on Walmart.com.

Nikon SLR Digital Camera
Nikon is one of the leading names in digital cameras because of their great quality photos and easy to use cameras.

Finding a Nikon at a great price is often hard to do though. Right now on target.com this wonder Nikon D800 CMOS FX Format Digital SLR Camera Body is on sale for $2,9995. With a bit of shopping around though this exact same camera can be purchased brand new on electrofundepot.com for $1911.86, almost a thousand dollars off!

iPad 2
The iPad will surely be on most kids and adults list this holiday season, but since iPad 4 was just recently released prices will be a lot more than many expect. This is one of the reasons why shopping around for a older iPad 2 makes holiday shopping a bit cheaper. This 16 GB Wi-Fi enabled iPad 2 can be purchased on target.com for $399.99 before tax. This item does ship for free though. The same iPad can be purchased at samsclub.com for $389 with a one year warranty and free shipping!

People with pets know how hard it is to get rid of all the pet fur that accumulates throughout the household. It is even harder to watch guest who have allergies sit in a house with pet allergens everywhere, especially when there is a way to fix it.

Beats Headphones
A great pair of headphone can change a music experience from good to out of this world. The new Beats headphones by Dr. Dre are the newest headphone available and have hit the markets just in time for the holidays. These headphones feature acoustic reflection, amplified bass and noise cancellation that make listening to music a personal paradise. These headphones come in eight different colors and ear cushions are made of leather. An adapter, personal case and anti-bacterial cleaner are included when a buyer purchases these headphones. Right now, on target.com these headphones can be bought for $299.99, which is slightly higher than most other vendors. But on techforless.com these exact same headphones can be purchased for $149.97, a $150 mark down!

It is hard to see great prices at a place like Target when so many things can be matched, or beaten. As we have seen throughout Target’s prices are often over a hundred dollars more than many sale items from other stores that offer the exact same product. This makes it difficult to be a loyal customer to Target and to believe that they are trying to give the consumer the lowest prices possible. Looking at a wide spectrum of products from cookware to electronics it is clear that Target does not offer low prices, but prices they believe they can pass off as cheap. This is why I do not shop at Target.

Should I Buy A Stroller From Local Stores Or Online?

After giving birth a woman should do some exercises to ensure that her body gets back to shape and also that she keeps fit and flexible. Going to the gym is one way of achieving this and she can also practice the healthy methods of exercising right at home. Strolling is another activity that she can practice and it has advantages of enjoying the fresh air outdoors and meeting your friends too. With the help of a stroller a woman should also be able to do a bit of jogging. With all the advantages that come with a stroller, one has to decide where to get one from, a decision that has to be based on different factors.

When you want to buy a stroller, there are two major : buying online or locally. Both sources will give you the product you want ultimately, but there are factors you will have to consider when choosing the source of your stroller.

Local Shops
The local shops and stores will only stock a few of the strollers and hence you lack variety to choose from. The staff working in those local shops do not have enough experience due to lack of exposure to different kinds of strollers, and when you need detailed information about a particular stroller you will end up getting unsatisfactory information. The prices in the local stores will mostly be a bit higher due to the monopoly the shops have. This is as a result of the fact that they have low competition among themselves because of their low number. They can therefore sell their products at a higher price unlike the numerous online shops that have to lower their prices in order to attract more customers.
Buying from the local shops has its positives which are that you can see and touch what you want to buy. You can therefore try the stroller and check the features that it has. In that case you will be going home with a product that you are sure of. When it comes to maintenance and you need the assistance of the technicians from the shop, all you need to do is to take it back to them. By so doing you will get the services of the maintenance at a reduced cost. On the other hand if it was bought online, you will have to get your own technician and pay him the full charges of fixing the stroller.

Online Stores
The choice of buying a stroller online is a great one. This is because the internet is full of shops and stores of all kinds and getting a stroller will never be a hustle. What you simply have to do is a search on the shops that sell these products and you will get results from numerous stores. You will then access their websites and narrow down your search to the exact stroller that you want. Online stores have enough stock and you will never miss what you are searching for. On the contrary you might get confused by the many brands. Do not worry that you might get overwhelmed by the results because there are qualified and experienced online assistants, who will provide you with perfect information about the right brand to buy. Photos of the strollers that are in stock are posted on the websites and some sites have videos that will show you how to operate the stroller. This will guide you in securing your baby well so that you can stroll or do your jogging with the peace of mind. Online stores that specialize only on strollers are the best ones to buy from because it’s their specialty and they only focus on strollers and are serious with their product line. They will understand your needs and get you a perfect solution by selling you the right stroller.

Money Saving Tips For Home Gardeners – Acting Now

Your home garden can be a place of calm and quiet in your busy life, or just a haven away from the housework. My garden has come alive in the last few years, I have collected a few money saving ideas along the way. Having a nice and productive garden doesn’t have to be expensive. Whether you just have a flower garden or a vegetable garden there are ways to save money and keep your garden affordable. By talking to my gardening friends, I have come up with the following money saving tips you can use in your own garden. If you are really into gardening, now is the best to get yourself ready. Why? You will see.

1. Compost
You don’t need to spend lots of money buying compost because you can make your own. Fall is the ideal time to start your own composting area. You can either purchase a compost bin of some sort or make your own. All you need is a spare bit of ground out of the way, maybe behind the garage or shed and some timber off cuts. I found some plans on the Internet that are easy for any home gardener to follow. It is better if you have 2 bays, one for fresh material and one that is composting. Fall is good because you can start with all of the leaves that land on your lawn and spent vegies such as pumpkins and other plant refuse. Save all of your fresh vegetable scraps and fruit peeling for the compost heap.

2. Mulch
One gardener friend of mine has a great tip to save on watering, she told me to mulch my entire garden to a depth of a few inches. This helps to limit weed growth and also keeps any moisture in the soil as it stops the soil itself from drying out in the hot sun and drying winds. You can use your compost for this or purchase some bark chips or straw. If you know someone with stables and horses, the used straw from the stables is great mulch. Grass clippings can compact and become impervious to rain but if combined with fallen leaves it is a good alternative.

3. Be water wise
The first thing I did when I decided to extend my garden and to have a large vegetable garden was to install a water tank to collect the rain water from my garage and house. You would be surprised how quickly a large tank can fill up, even with little or no rain but the heavy dew that falls at night. I use this water solely for the garden.

4. Grow your own plants
Do you have a favorite plant that you would like to have more off in the garden? One of the fun ways to get more plants is to propagate them yourself. This is also a rewarding task as you have grown something from scratch, be it seeds or a cutting. Some plants that are quite hybridized won’t have fertile seeds but you could grow it from a cutting. Any good gardening book will show you how to make softwood and hardwood cuttings. Different plants will grow from either of these methods. You can also give plants away as gifts to friends and neighbors.

5. Make your own garden products
When I joined my local gardening club, the first talk I went to was about making your own herbicides and pesticides. A cheap way to kill flat leaf weeds is to paint a drop of kerosene in the center on a hot sunny day. This will burn the plant and cause it to die, vinegar also works. To get rid of scale and sooty mold, make a mixture of soapy water and white oil to spray on the infested area. This will suffocate the bugs. Soapy water is also good for getting rid of aphids.

6. Go organic
I try to avoid using expensive chemicals around the yard and have found some really great alternatives. If you attract predator insects to your yard to eat the bad bugs such as aphids, you won’t need to use chemical sprays. And to avoid salts and fertilizers building up in the soil, I like to use seaweed or fish based liquid fertilizers on my garden. A seaweed solution is also good to use when planting out seedlings or any plants really as it helps to prevent root shock.

7. Plant swap
A free way to get more plants for your garden is to swap with your neighbors and friends. You will find that not everyone will grow the same plants as you so if you strike your own plants from cuttings or seed, you can swap for other plants that they grow.

8. Join a gardening club
Another great way to find out more about the plants that grow best in your area is to join the local gardening club or society. There is bound to one near you and even if it only supports say roses or vegetables you will get some fantastic tips from the other members. Some clubs also arrange for tours of gardens you might not otherwise be open to the public.

9. Reuse Your Newspapers
A friend of mine saves all of her newspapers when she wants to start a new raised garden bed or veggie patch. She uses the paper to place over the grass of the lawn as a base for her garden. Lay the papers several sheets thick and then top with good soil, compost and mulch. The paper will rot away in a season and will prevent the grass from ruining your garden bed.

10. End of growing season sales
I always make a point of visiting nurseries at the end of Spring/Summer to search for bargains in gardening tools and plants. Most places will have cheaper tools as it is not the growing season and they are getting ready for new stock. They also may have plants that are past their best but will survive with some tender loving care from you.

 

10 Tips For Teenagers About Wearing Makeup

Are you teen lass? Most girls that I know can’t wait to be able to wear makeup and look older than they are. The main problem is most teenagers don’t know how much they should wear, especially if Mom doesn’t wear much makeup. All they see in magazines is models who have extreme makeup to look good for the cameras or runway. My Mom only ever wore lipstick so I had little idea about other makeup products and how to use them. I have developed these tips to help all young girls with their makeup. Some of these tips I still use now and my skin is looking good with few wrinkles, at least compared to some of my girl friends who slept with makeup on and didn’t use sunscreen.

1. Cleanse
Before applying any makeup products make sure your hands and face are clean. Find a good cleanse that suits your skin type and clean your face well. You can use a mild exfoliating cream or scrub once a week to help keep that acne and blemishes under control.
2. Moisturizer
It is important to start a skin regime early and to get used to cleaning your face properly to avoid as much acne and blemishes as you can. Just because your skin is oily doesn’t mean that you don’t use a moisturizer. One with a light tint can be good if you think your skin is pale looking and want a bit more color and you don’t want to wear a foundation. You should also use a separate sunscreen for your skin type as the one in moisturizers is usually very light protection. It will also help stop those wrinkles that come with aging.

3. What to do
If you want to use makeup but are unsure what will suit your skin type visit a department store with beauty counters. Find a woman whose makeup you like and ask her for tips and products. She will explain what each product does and how you should use it. She will also try some colors on you to find out the best shades for your skin and skin type, be it oily, dry or a combination.
4. Foundation and concealer
Using too much foundation can be bad for your skin as it will block the pores. You don’t even need to use a foundation if you don’t want to. You might just want to use a concealer to cover up any spots or breakouts and uneven skin tone. If you do use a foundation pick one that is a shade lighter than your skin tone. It will look a lot more natural and that is what your aim should be.

If you suffer from oily skin that looks shiny, use a powder instead of a cream. It will look dry and not oily. I suffered from oily skin and found that powder is wonderful. I always carried it in my purse for that quick touch up during the day.

If you just want to cover up those dark marks under your eyes and the odd blemish just stipple the foundation or concealer under your eyes with your middle finger and smooth out by dabbing. Don’t rub or you will take off what you have put on.

5. Blusher
Apply blusher to the cheeks and blend in a circular motion. Don’t use darker shades but a softer lighter pink tone can give that fresh rosy cheeked look.

6. Eyes and eyebrows
Taking care of your eyes and finding a product that doesn’t irritate and inflame them is important. I can’t wear some popular brands of eye shadow because after a while my eyes become dry and itchy. If your eyes do get sore wash off any makeup immediately.

If you want to wear eye makeup everyday stick to neutral colors that will highlight your eyes rather than sparkles or bold colors. If you use eyeliner don’t outline your whole eye as this will make it look smaller just apply to one lid to emphasize your eyes.
To make your eyebrows look fuller use a brow brush with eye shadow that matches your eyebrows. You can set your eye brows by spraying your brush with hair spray or using a small amount of gel.

7. Lipstick or lip gloss
I always used lip gloss as I didn’t know what color I should use in lipsticks. The range was daunting and I didn’t what that huge color block on my face. Now that I am older I have found a great color that I like and use when I go out. If you are at school all day just take a light colored lip gloss in your bag and reapply throughout the day. If your lips get dry and cracked from dry winds or cold weather lip stick will make them look worse. You will find that your color choice will change as you get older and a bit bolder.

8. Don’t share makeup
Always buy and use your own products. That way you won’t get any allergies from products you don’t use or have not used before. It is also possible to get infections from using other people’s eye shadow.

9. Mascara
Mascara was scary to me as Mom never wore it. I liked the look on other people and wanted to try it. If you have pale eyelashes like me and want them to frame your eyes mascara is the product to use. I can’t wear eyeliner but I always wear mascara when I go out. It is not a necessity but it will change your look.

10. Always remove makeup
One of the most important tips I ever was given was to always remove any makeup before I went to bed. Any makeup, even the lightest foundations can clog the pores of your skin and make any acne problems worse. Find a good makeup remover or facial cleanser and clean your whole face and apply moisturizer.
