This is for a site called youcansave.com. They are affiliated with mypoints and softcoin as well.

Use code flchp09183222020 for $20. off any order, no minimum. Ship not included and is around $5-6.

www.youcansave.com

A lot of the infomercial things you're embarassed to admit you want are on there.

I got the Toma's tan stuff for $5.95 shipped.

Ug, I'm about to go back for more. Somebody stop me!

Has anyone used the "perfect pancake" thing. Every time I see it, I want it.

And the Simoniz car wash system? Anyone tried that???

Get behind me,

Nope, I'm not biting this time. You can't make me.

Some of their products aren't infomercial products though -- they're normal products, like the telezapper.

And they have some stuff I know works, like oxyclean.

But the simoniz and the perfect pancake... I want those....

Someone tell me they work. I don't want to buy Andrea's egg-wave.

We ordered the perfect pancake thing months ago from the infomercial, but they never shipped it. Sent us a postcard stating that they were overwhelmed with orders, and that was the last we heard.

So, I just ordered it and only am paying $5.95 Shipping and Handling.

Thank you!

Yesterday I bought Tropicana Twister and, using a code on the inside of the cap, got $5 off at youcansave.com (or other stores.)

LOL, what a site!

I especially liked the fake surveillance camera ($19.95)

That should scare off tons of burglars and make babysitters do a better job.

I mulled over a purchase or two, and then checked out Epinions. One of the advisors has had a good experience, but the other review headers seemed really negative.

So if any of you shop there, let us know if it's reliable or not.

After all, there aren't many places you can look if you're shopping for fake surveillance cameras.

The Perfect Pancake-I wanted one too until a local investigate reporter did a story on it and it is NOT worth it-I tried to find a link but I can't-basicly-the sides of the pancake maker are OPEN so when you flip it the pancake mix RUNS out all over the stove-so it's good for grilled cheese and lousy for pancakes-plus you can only make one pancake at a time-so it takes forever to make anything worth eating.

Sorry

if you eat lays potato chips-or other fritolay things-they are doing the cash thing(http://www.fritolaycash.com ) and you can use it on the as seen on tv main website-I don't know if it can be used together with this deal, but when this deal runs out keep your fritolay cash for latter

Don't misunderstand, I am a total sucker for this sort of thing. I love infomercial products. I feel like I'm experiencing the culture of our times.

My childhood was:

The Buttoneer (we owned it!)
Ginsu Knives (I watched the commercial approximately 4421 times as a child)
The Pocket Fisherman (as above)

I

watching infomercials and I

finally buying one or two.... or three

Just so happens, I'm in a "get thee behind me

" kinda phase today. Tomorrow, I'd be drooling.

who has yet to open her package of NuLeather

Don won't let her use it!!!

I HATE YOU well not really but I just bought the talking pedometer and the twister braid thing my daughter has been begging me for-and I am soooo broke-I should never have opened this thread

Fridai

*emeleel* · #10 07-07-2002, 07:05 PM

LOL, we had a Pocket Fisherman, too! I actually used it some when we went fishing up on the lake.

I always wanted one of those glass cutter things - you know, turn wine bottles and whatnot into glasses and stuff. What else? Mmmm, maybe the Bedazzler. I also keep wondering nowadays if those Thunderstick things are as good as they look on TV.

I admit it, I ordered the 50 ft flat hose from this site and fear it will be winter before I see it. I keep getting these e-mails and postcards saying it will ship, but I can't even recall how long ago I ordered it. PLUS - they charged me for it right away and it has yet to ship - something is VERY wrong about that. I am in the process of trying to get my hose shipped immediately or have them refund all my money. I don't hold out hopes that this is a trustworthy site.

magenta321 · #12 07-07-2002, 07:24 PM

Hmm. I had one of those hoses as a kid -- it was Craftsman though. We loved it. But I read about this hose, and supposedly it's really short.

Hope it does come though. How frustrating.

magenta321 · #13 07-07-2002, 08:14 PM

Here are reviews of most of the products on their site:

So I guess the perfect pancake is out. I'm going to wait and see if my Toma's Tan Perfect comes without a hitch. If it does, then I will get the Simoniz car wash. But I'm going to wait and see.

magenta321 · #14 07-08-2002, 07:55 PM

Orders are being cancelled. This code is now only working on orders of $50 or more.

If you ordered, you should have gotten an email thanking you for your order. In this email was a link where you can check on the status of your order.

Mine was cancelled.

I guess this one was too good to be true.

**amykhar** · #15 07-08-2002, 08:14 PM

Mine was cancelled too.

Amy

magenta321 · #16 07-08-2002, 08:25 PM

I was charged for my order.

Please check with your credit card companies and make certain that you weren't charged. If you were, fight it.

I'm pissed.

Hey Margaret, thanks for the krb link. I have always had that little tinge of curiousity related to the perfect pancake...

The review there was hilarious and also made me grateful that I didn't waste my money on it.

mtbat · #19 07-08-2002, 11:43 PM

margret where does it say cancelled-on which page-I can't get anything to load except a copy of the order.

Fridai

magenta321 · #20 07-08-2002, 11:51 PM

Yep, that's the page where mine said Cancelled.

mtbat · #21 07-09-2002, 12:03 AM

when I click check order status it throws me to yahoo wallet and there is nothing there-I guess I'll wait till tomarrow and see what happens-obviously I can't find out anything tonight. If they are cancelled-and I'm betting they are I'm going to raise holy hell until they give me either the stuff or my money back

**amykhar** · #22 07-09-2002, 12:16 AM

I already emailed them. Turns out 2/3 of the reviews on Epinions about them are negative. I haven't heard back from them yet; we'll see I guess.

Amy

magenta321 · #23 07-09-2002, 12:17 AM

Fridai... the link in my email wasn't complete. If I clicked on it, I got to an empty yahoo wallet. But when I cut and pasted the full thing (with all the + signs and numbers) it worked. It was all there, but only part of it was linkified until I copied it and pasted it into my browser.

magenta321 · #24 07-09-2002, 12:19 AM

I haven't heard back from them yet either.

Just think of all the people they just stole six bucks from. Grr!!!
