BHG knives

Search for: BHG knives

Not sure what this brand is or how good they are but I picked up a small knife from Walmart. To my significant surprise it has been lasting for a year and very good.

This is the opposite experience from buying anything related to kitchen from Publix, and even other places for that matter.

I am still on the look out for a good can opener. I only bought about 20 so far. They barely work once or twice!!

I have about 30,000 miles on the vehicle. I had Bridgestone tires that came with it when I bought it. I suppose that is about the time these tires give up.

So the dealership quoted about $900 to replace them. I thought, being the dealership, they would be more expensive. About $250.00 out of that is labor and taxes.

So I went to TiresPlus store. They started at $1050. I finally adjusted the type of tires and the final cost to $900. The tires seem to have 60,000 miles warranty. (Not sure what that really means in 2 years!!)

Next time I think I will just use the dealership. They were quite competetivie.

The list of things I shouldn't buy from Publix

Can openers
Cutting Knives
Anything that has a sharp edge...
Umbrellas
Fruits
...anything other than mostly food

I should stop buying fruits at my local Publix! Strawberries are 80% of the time tasteless. Mangoes are not of right texture inside and pricey. Apples are too ripe at least 50% of the time. Peaches won't stay more than a day. In this area if I want to buy fruits with a reasonable guarantee (70%) I try Costco.

I tell myself every time not to buy a Kirkland product again. But I give in to the temptation and it just burns me every time. I should learn my lesson now. Almost every food product bought of this brand is just total trash!!

How can Costco carry such brands for so long!!! But they do.

6 bucks for a really sucky turkey starbucks sandwich!!!

It costs $369 and works no better on most surfaces and, like others, just won't work on plush carpets!!

I have had such a bad experience buying the vacuum cleaners. I have bought 3 in the last 5 years. They are all pretty bad

Difficult to push/roll on plush carpet.
It is so hard they just won't work.
The combs continue to wrap aroudnd the strands
noisy

So I decided to cough up the money for a Dyson. It works no better. Does not solve a single stated problem above. Total disappointment despite the tall marketing English-accented-speak!!!

If this is true with other Dyson models, given the hype, (i find it hard to believe otherwise) Dont' waste your money.
