Are You Sure That is a Good Idea?

That is what my friend asked me after I placed an order for a whole bunch of expensive eCloths to help make housecleaning easier. I had bought a starter set and like them so well that I wanted more. Besides they are on 1/2 price sale and also there was a $20 off coupon code that worked. It was really surprising to me that the coupon worked on the sale items, but I did double my order because of it.
Well, I didn't feel the need to explain all this to him, so I just said, "YES!" ... and gave him a LOOK.
Funny thing, he didn't doubt it was a good idea to buy new grips for his golf clubs, RFLOL.
Have you tried eCloths? Do you like them? Did you ever spend more money on a tool than you thought you should have? How did it turn out? Usually when I buy a good tool it pays for itself over time. Kitchen gadgets are tools too, just like a hammer or a screwdriver.

Personally, this is something that I have never heard of. Hope your purchase was worth it. When it comes to some things, there are times the price will win just because of the quality. But with something new I usually buy small to try it out, and if I like it go in and buy more later.

I have overspent on a vacuum cleaner once, but was not willing to use it as I should have. It was at a time when we really did not have the money to spend on it. Door to door salesperson, who pretended to want to be our friend as well. It is funny how it is okay to spend money on cars but not the house, and other things like that.

Vacuum cleaners, blenders, and juicers are all things that I have spent too much money on in the past with variable results. By now, however, I think I have found the best of each and can quit wasting time and money searching for better ones and enjoy the use of the ones I finally have. Yep, I drive a very old car, but have lots of new stuff in the kitchen.

I tried googling but I can't understand what eCloths are :-(
Though I've bought some stuff online,I've never used a coupon. Sometimes, there is a discount and what I've got is well worth the price that I've paid for it.
I recently bought a blender online which suits the purpose which I got it for.

I have not seen you here in a long time! I got a new blender this summer, too, and it is much better than my old one. eCloths are made out of thread that is spun very fine and the cloth is sort of fluffy and picks up dirt and germs without needing soap, although it is ok to use soap with it too, and of course when we wash the cloth we use soap. This microfiber cloth is moisture wicking so it is very good for drying dishes and getting windows clean without streaks. My friend was over for dinner tonight and when she was helping wash the dishes she used my new cloth and kept asking, "why is it so easy to wash your dishes and mine are so hard to wash?" We use the same kind of soap, but different cloths.

I am not really much of a tool person... but i tend to stock up on detergents, soap, Mr. Clean, Dish washing liquid, even those wipes thingy... my husband would always remind me that we still have at home... but i would always say that i just do not want to run out on these things...
eCloths sound great... might as well search if they are available here in my country...

Same here. I have four boxes of Color Catchers for the washing machine because they were on sale at half price and I wanted to have enough to last until the next sale. If we run out then we might have to pay full price. If they are half off, I will of course buy twice as many.

Thanks a ton sharing this discussion. Well i think u have done no wrong in ordering that stuff and i know your idea might not be approved by many but i think u should do whatever is best for u. If u think that your work will become easier then there is no harm. I have never tried eCloths and i feel that if i am able to make my work easier by using a tool then we should give it a try without any inhibitions. They might be expensive but are much helpful for us.
What say?
