Best Dupes I Have Tried and YOU Should Buy!

On the egg holders, the hole is probably so that condensation doesn’t gather on the inside of the lid. BTW- thank you Vivian, for trying out all of this stuff, so we don’t have to!

@VivianTries, Dollar Tree carries the epsom salts too, plain and scented. I love the lavender!

[@Sunshine33333]

Boy, you hit the nail on the head about the not needing Goo Gone for the stickers, I can't stand how Marshalls & TJ Maxx put those darn price stickers on everything that are almost impossible to remove. Loved to see this, thanks for the laughter!!

[@shelbme2u]

The reason is that people take the sticker off a cheaper item and put it on a more expensive one. It's called tag switching

[@jennbell4251]

You won’t have to worry about the super sticky stickers at TJ Maxx and family much longer - all stores are closing.

Retired nurse, Caffeine opens up blood flow to calm areas. I used pain meds with caffeine. It helps my arthritis pain better than my regular pain meds.

Dr. Teals Lavender, my favorite. I went to Dollar Tree last weekend and spent $100 for organizing supplies that you got. 😅 Husband knows when I watch you I will be spending money after. 😁😆

Have you tried the melatonin one? I love it and it's so helpful when my kid needs to calm down after a high energy day! It doesn't hit too fast but it definitely makes a difference from the normal lavender

I love those plastic bowl covers. Here’s a tip I figured out. Sometimes when you go to put it back on a bowl that’s been in the fridge it keeps sliding off. I turn it inside out and it works just fine and then I just wipe off the top. Stay safe

Great idea! And I was thinking..if you had Cookie dough/etc could you Freeze it in there??

[@izzyjones7108]

Like, already to just plop on a sheet and bake?? Or fruit??

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@izzyjones7108 I hadn't thought of that. My daughter went through a phase where she was crazy for kiwi fruit and there were always a couple of casualties in the big bag I'd buy and toss in the fridge. If I'd had one one of these, that wouldn't have happened! Assuming it's big enough, of course... I think they'd fit easily in the clear one..

[@marionbylsma1167]

If you didn’t know, already, a toolbox, makes a good utensil holder. If you’re camping in a tent I wish I knew that when I was camping in tents.

[@terriadcock2328]

The egg holders from DT, we use them to hold our eggs in the cooler when packing for the camper, not easily crushed. Actually, the DT ones have lasted longer, they don’t crack easily. I use the Cricut mats from DT for my Cricut Joy. The DT headlamp, I use when I’m weeding my vinyl, it helps me see the cut lines.

[@suzque63]

Ive used the Awesome brand carpet cleaner they sell at Dollar Tree for years….first time using it, I got some overspray on my tennis shoes and I panicked but it cleaned my shoes so good! We started using the carpet spray to clean grass stains and gunk off the kids athletic shoes and it’s also great for cleaning the flooring trim. 😁

[@YMO-bU]

“I’m not that kind of a doctor” 😂😂😂😂 Man I love your videos! Always make me laugh😄

[@AuntBethanys]

The Cerave takes longer because of the suspension it’s in. It’s a GREAT thing that it took longer to turn lighter. That means it’s in a more stable delivery system. It’s gonna go last longer. Those others will oxidize and become ineffective sooner. This is the problem with cheaper skincare usually.

[@emergencytrip]

Love your channel. Little tip for cosmetic ingredients; phenoxyethanol is usually an indicator of the "one percent line." Any ingredients listed after that preservative indicates a concentration less than 1%!

If you want a vitamin C and antioxidant face treatment just use lime juice concentrate diluted 25-50% with water depending on how concentrated the juice is. Put that mixture in a tiny spray bottle and mist your skin daily. This also works as a scalp treatment

I read a bunch of reviews on the Aldi enamel cast iron braiser pan with cover before I bought it, but 6 months into using it, I am super impressed with it. I use it all of the time and I can’t imagine how the very expensive name brand could be better… The best incentive to buy the braiser pan compared to the casserole dish you tested as that it can go into the oven at higher temperatures, but if you’re not cooking things at high heat, Aldi ceramic bakeware and pans are great!!!

Hi Vivian. I just want to comment on the Epsom Salts. One it's not just scent. It's essential oils. You do not want to get cheap oils they are not as good and don't work the same. Also synthetic oils can cause rashes etc. Also finer is better, because once it dissolves your body is able to absorb the minerals. Healthier. Thanks for your show. I love watching you. Hope this helps.

That balsamic glaze is wonderful on so much, my favorite way to have green beans is sauteed with onions and drizzle with glaze, great on asparagus in a similar preparation. Add some mozzarella, basil leaves and a baguette to that tomato and glaze for a fantastic snack. Try the glaze on strawberries or raspberries with a shortbread and cream for a dessert, or mix with blueberries and a bit of olive oil for a fabulous salad dressing... Yep, I love balsamic glaze!

Hey Vivian. It's the caffeine in the under eye rollers that shrinks the puffiness. You can also use tea bags which are cheaper - as long as it's caffeinated tea. Wouldn't that be hilarious if you wondered why it didn't work and then discovered it was decaf tea

[@deebus3471]

I bought the head lamps for my (young) boys and I highly recommend them. It's also nice to have extras around. Our family uses them all the time. We use them for lighting fireworks at fourth of July, keep on in the car, play at home, night exploring through our woods and many other times.

Egg holder is also a way to get a cat to eat slower. Toss food in the area that holds eggs. BTW buy two and make on raw eggs and one hard boiled. For onions, lightly coat with coconut oil and as it cools it will seal the onion. The DT LED light is so good for my elder mom to keep in her bag and use on steps, take out trash. She just puts around her neck. My hubby loves those eye rollers. I do not know if they work but keep the empty one and use after you put a cream on the face or for boo boos. DT has rope balls. I am going to have to visit Aldi. DIY balsamic glaze, my hubby makes it. It is balsamic with the water reduced so depending on the start product and reduction time they can taste different.
