SC Johnson Comes Clean

In a day and age when many people are wondering exactly what is in their cleaning products, SC Johnson has decided to come clean with their ingredients list. Last week, the company launched the website WhatsInsideSCJohnson. The website lists the 200+ ingredients found in the company’s products, including Drano, Shout, and Windex.

Posted on by

Green Day has just released a new album and it is at the top the charts. However, if you are going to purchase it, you can save yourself a trip to Wal-Mart. The mega chain store is not carrying it.

In a recent interview, he said “Wal-Mart’s become the biggest retail outlet in the country, but they won’t carry our record because they wanted … Continue reading →

There are definitely deals to be had, if you are a smart shopper, but you can also easily spend more money than you thought you might.

Now I’ll talk about my second point, that the majority of items outside of the “hot” or in demand” category may be had less expensively elsewhere. Wal-Mart can get away with prices … Continue reading →
