‘Tis the season of apples! Or rather, it has been for a while! We are still having to buy apples from the greengrocer while our apple tree grows taller and taller each year but has yet to produce more than 2 or 3 apples annually! Apples have been quite affordable over the past […]
I am always on the lookout for the most value for my Rand. There have been times when I’ve bought cheaper bars of soap and been terribly disappointed: either the soaps didn’t lather nicely or they lathered too much, and simply diminished too quickly. As a general rule, If I go through any cheap […]
