As an aside, I was selected to review this product through one of the Product Review Club offers.
In my opinion, the Canada Dry Lemon-Lime club soda is comparable to similar products on the market, but at a better price when on sale. When I picked up my free case from No Frills it was on sale for just $3.97 - good deal!
In terms of taste: I would say the taste is quite excellent but identical to another brand that I generally purchase. It's not sweet nor is it too bitter. I cannot stand the taste of "regular" club soda, but I am a fan of this.
If you're looking for an alternative beverage to just plain water but keeping your health in mind (avoiding sugar-laden pop and fruit juices) than this would make a great choice! It contains 0 grams of sugar and only 45 mg of sodium. Drink up!

I have been to this establishment twice since opening. The first time we experienced HORRIBLE service, but we chalked it up to being a new establishment and the wait staff were still learning. Well, I just visited again in the past week and experienced it all over again. We were seated promptly as this time there was no wait. We had our drinks ordered, and those were brought to the table. However, our food took ages and was sitting under a heat lamp. We had to ask a different waitress where our food was and whether we could have more drinks. Not once were we asked how our meal was or if we would like another drink. & since the food was sitting under a heat lamp continuing to cook - it was not great, either. -

I purchased my last container of earth's own almond fresh from RCSS for a cost of 3.97. It is a little more expensive than most brands, but the taste is absolutely great & there is no chalky texture left in your mouth like some other products.
Typically I shop at No Frills, and have only come across it at one store that I did not frequent on a regular occasion.

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo
I paid 11.99 for a 946 mL bottle, which I think is reasonable considering other brands are close in price for a lot less product. You only need to use it once a week, which I find is frequent enough as to not dry your hair out. I'm not sure if it's... +
I paid 11.99 for a 946 mL bottle, which I think is reasonable considering other brands are close in price for a lot less product. You only need to use it once a week, which I find is frequent enough as to not dry your hair out. I'm not sure if it's my location/water supply of a more rural community, or my water pressure, but I find I get a lot of buildup on my hair, where it feels really weighed down and greasy. I tend to wash my hair every second day, so I find it very bothersome that my hair turns crummy so fast. I find using this product makes my hair weightless and extends the amount of time needed between shampoos. -

I purchased this product from Costco & am unsure of the price, but for a 1L bottle it was very economical in terms of price versus a "normal size" body at a drug store.
I have been using this product for a couple of months now, and have noticed great improvements in my skin! Redness has has decreased; it doesn't leave it feeling dry or oily; and most important of all (for me) my pores have decreased in size dramatically. I try to wash my face twice/day, but don't always get around to doing it that much, and have noticed a positive difference even using it once per day.

I absolutely LOVE this toothbrush!!! I cannot stress this enough - I have had trouble with plaque in hard to reach places, and this toothbrush does the trick (which you would be surprised given it's larger size).
After brushing with this toothbrush, I have noticed a difference in plaque along the gum line which is a bonus for dentist visits :)
Definitely helps to polish away surface stains, though I am unable to speak to the claim that it is gentle on enamel - the bristles are soft, however, so the toothbrush should not be too hard on the teeth to begin with.
Great product, will certainly repurchase in the future!!

I received the Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club.
I have not used mouth wash recently, so I am sort of unable to comment on the price of this bottle versus other brands... I think that $7.99 for a bottle of this size (500mL) is a bit steep???
In terms of product claims, I like that this product is alcohol free - a big plus. It does state that it does not have the burning sensation of alcohol, however, I would say that there is a bit of a sting when swishing it around the mouth. Okay by me, as I figure the fizzing of the product means that it is working (aka killing germs).
I loved the mouth feel after using this product, in conjunction with the Profresh toothpaste and Oral B Pro-Health toothbrush. After adding the mouth wash to the mix, I noticed that my teeth felt very very smooth while my mouth felt very clean and fresh.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

I received the Crest Pro-Health ProFresh Toothpaste to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club.
Being that I work closely with other individuals for 8 hours a day, I freally did find that Profresh's Polyflourite System was true to it's claim in combatting bad breath bad for hours!
In terms of fighting cavities, I can't be sure until my next dentist appointment, however I would say that this toothpaste does work well against sensitivity as I have had ongoing trouble with this, and am happy to have found a toothpaste that does the trick. Lastly, I have noticed a slight difference in surface stain, and hope to see even further improvement with continued use.
I would defintely purchase this toothpaste in the future, and would recommend it to friends and family members as well.

I purchased this product from Shopper's Drug-Mart for about $20.00 CAD, with the advice of a Shopper's beauty advisor.
I was looking for something to cleanse my face, while minimizing the size of my pores on my nose and chin. I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now, and really like it. I have noticed a slight difference in my skin, and am hoping to see an even greater improvement with continued use.
What I do like about this product is that it is in a gel form, with micro-particles to really clean my face. Some of you may not be aware, though, that you should not scrub your face. I was told that I should not rub the product into my skin, rather, the micro-particles will do the work. & I have also noticed that by 'scrubbing' the cleansers (with my fingertips) into my skin less, just enough to get the product on my face, I also have reduced redness.... which is another problem that I was concerned about!

I received this as a gift so I am unsure of the price of this product, but given that it came from Arbonne, I presume it is pretty expensive.
Although it has a nice scent, which is supposed to "wake you up", I do not like this brand of body wash. I prefer to use ones that are really foamy, opposed to those that barely foam at all. I was told the other day the reason that this product does not lather very well, because there is no added "PLS" or something-er-other... so I have to use A LOT of it, to get it to clean my entire body.
Not very satisfied with this product....
