Put the lid on the bottle, screw on a small nitrogen charger, shake it up for about 30 seconds, squeeze the trigger and out come cream whip just like it would out of an aerosol can. No artificial stuff that you don’t know how to pronounce and it keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Great for pancakes, strawberry shortcake or a topping for coffee and hot chocolate.

#00917 – Static Eliminator Sheets (box of 2) - $12.95

This is a wonderful new product. Dryer sheets are very bad for you and put all kinds of toxins into the air. These dryer sheets are made from a special material that never wares out. The company by law had to put a usage number on the box so they put 500 loads but they assure us that they will last forever. You must use both sheets together and if you have used dryer sheets in the past, you will need to wash these dryer sheets after about 10 loads. They pull all of the yuck left behind from your old dryer sheets off the walls of your dryer. Just run them through the washer with your other laundry and put into the dyer and keep using. I personally use these and they work great! Ashley McCord
