  • Old Navy

5/24/15

Old navy is one of those places you can always depend on to be able to run in and find someone simple and affordable to wear. I love old navy because it's cheap. But keep in mind that word i just used "cheap" which means the product quality isn't that great and I find the material wears out very fast. I don't get clothing lasting long but who cares when you're paying next to nothing for it.

My one rule about old navy is unless you absolutely love it and must have it... never pay full price for it. I find that they quite often mark their stuff up way too high at full price. In just a couple weeks it all gets marked down any ways.

My one pet peeve about this store is the fact you never really truly know the cost of something. Sometimes i get up to the register and it says on sale but wasn't, or vice versa it was full price and now $5.00. Damn if I knew it was 5.00 I would have bought more. It always makes me wonder what else is cheap and hiding out on me in the store.

I was paying way too much for cable that I was never home to watch, which had my rent a PVR only for it not to work half the time and miss my recorded shows. I had enough so I decided to find alternative options. I was already subscribed to Netflix but that wasn't enough I needed more TV based options like live television. I came across Hulu an decided to give it a try and just absolutely love it. Majority of my shows are on here and I have the convenience of watching them whenever I want and never have to worry that they won't be recorded. The shows are loaded around midnight day after they aired on television.

They do have advertisements but who cares they're 10 second ads and you get maybe 2-3 of them in a 1 hour program (way better then cable). My subscription is $7.99/month and if i need to watch a few short ads to keep my costs low I'm okay with that. There are a few shows that Hulu doesn't offer through my Smart Tv but I can still access it through my computer.

I was paying around $100.00/month for cable + PVR rental and now I pay $16.00/month between Netflix and Hulu and i'm honestly satisfied between the two with the selections they have. I will never go back to cable again.

I highly recommend Hulu for someone who is looking to eliminate cable. Use the free trial and check out the shows available and see if it's for you.

I decided to give the trial online a go, and with these things you always need to be careful and make sure you understand their terms and conditions. I read everything carefully. It was a free 14 day trial with a 30 day money back guarantee. After the 14 days they will charge you full price for the item if you didn't want to get charged the full price you needed to cancel within the 14 day period by calling or emailing the info provided to you at the time of registration. I decided that i hadn't really experienced the product and let them charge me the full value. After realizing the product wasn't for me I asked to cancel. But they continued to charge me another 2 times and send me the product.

When i called they tried to keep me by offering me 50% off or 75% off and refunding me back that difference. After a lot of yelling and wasting my time of the phone with them I received my money back. It definitely is a company that wants to hook you in any way they can, but they're also real people on the other side of the business and it is possible to get your money back for the portions you shouldn't have received.

If you signed up for the "trial" and didn't cancel in time before the full charge then that's your fault not the companies. Next time you should read the Terms and Conditions carefully before just clicking accept. Once you agree to them you can't argue against them.

I wouldn't recommend anyone going through this company because unless you really want to give the product a try it's not worth the long term hassle. If you do decide to go forward with it just know what you're agreeing too.

We don't have as many boxes in Canada as in the USA. I was excited when Birchbox became available however it was nothing like the USA boxes. I get really horrible/cheap products not worth my money at all. I don't recommend it. Use Top Box or Ipsy, more value for your money. I don't need shampoo's and body washes... thanks but no thanks birchbox.

I'm reading reviews of people who clearly are mis-informing individuals about the subscription. After hearing some of my friends subscribed and were getting some interesting products in their bags I thought I would give it a try. When i first went to register is put me on a wait list. It does take all your information and confirms you will never be charged until you're off the wait list and will receive your first bag. You can get off the wait list by sharing them on social media or by just "waiting." I chose to wait and about 2 months later I received an email confirmation i was off the wait list and would receive my first bag.

I have now been subscribed for 6 months with no issues. I have had a bag or a few items here or there that i didn't like but they're great for re-gifting, or trading with friends, family, or online. You really do get quite a bit of full size items from the subscription which makes the value of them excellent. I am subscribed to a few other beauty subscriptions and this one is still by far one of my favorites. I change my survey after every bag I receive to modify it to my liking, and I review every product I get. They seem to be bang on with my selection on products and I feel that people who complain they're not getting what they want is probably because they haven't filled out the survey correctly.

You really can't just pick one category because if they happen not to have any products in your one selection they're going to guess the next best thing. I always select more then one option so that if my first choice isn't a product available at least maybe my second or third would be given.

I recommend people to give a try - and not to listen to people's bitter and impatient remarks/reviews on this site. I don't understand why people are complaining about sharing on social media, no one is making you share it but then you have to wait it's part of the game. You can always go back on social media and remove it once you post any ways what's the big deal? I waited - good things are worth waiting for.
