This poll is for voting on the suggestions contributed by members in the 'CONTEST' thread with the prize (kindly donated by Dancing Feather) being a copy of 'The Tightwad Gazette'. Thank-you again DF Smile
It's really a 'fun' contest to get the creative juices flowing!
Simply vote for the idea you like best and the one receiving the most votes in the poll wins DF's kind donation.
Good luck ladies Smile

I suppose we should let it run for 'two weeks' to give everyone a chance to see this and vote?

Anyone can refer back to the original thread for additional info. as I can only provide a certain amount here! Smile

I thought everyone's ideas were great but I voted for Skinflint's brand comparison. Why? Because I tend to be squeamish about switching brands unless I know that something is good/or works well. We have several discount stores around here that have products I don't recognize but to someone else they may be what you normally see on the shelves. Yup - even you skin! Wink I find stuff from all over the globe.

laugh Funny you say that DF!

We have a dollar type store here in Aus called Crazy Clarks and many of their household cleaning products have foreign languages printed on the packaging.

I know what you mean about being hesitant about trying something different to what you 'know'...I tend to be a bit like that too...it reminds me of the saying "If it's not broke, don't fix it"

I feel if I try something new and hate it or it was rubbish that I've wasted my money...but on the other hand...I could be pleasantly surprised! :seesaw:
