Hello! After a chaotic year I am back and starting to get settled in to our new home. I look forward to bringing you exciting new deals and information as we move in to the New Year. For now I'd like to recommend a few services/products that caught my eye over the last year.
If you are looking for a new home (or to sell your current home) and you live in the Triad area, you should strongly consider Gloria Adams at Allen Tate. We had a great experience working with her and she is especially helpful if you are a first time home buyer.
Here's a tip for moving that I learned this go round: get boxes at your local ABC store. Apparently this a well known tip but I was unaware of it before now. The boxes are easy to get to and have less risk of cockroaches. They also tend to be smaller so you are not weighing down your boxes too much. A smaller dense box is much better than a large medium weight box.
Bed Bath and Beyond - check them out if you're in the process of furnishing your house. We found curtain rods and blinds on two separate trips that were reduced nearly 75%. We saved an additional amount by using the coupons they mail out every week or so. The Greensboro store lets you stack the coupons in one order (usually one coupon per item). We saved a lot of money on some nice home decor this way.
Feliway Plug-ins - if you have cats and they are about to be in a stressful situation (moving, new cat, etc), this is the product you need. Truthfully I can't speak as to how much was the plug-in and how much was time, but the cats went from a panicked state to a purring, tail up, affectionate state in less than a day after using this product. I can't say what will happen when it runs out, but for now everything is well and that means so much more to me than the price we paid for the product. By the way if you're looking into buying, check out Amazon.com. It was a good bit cheaper there than in stores.
