Consumer Reviews

I can’t believe that I did not discover consumer reporting on the internet until just recently. For years I feel like I have been wandering around in the dark when I try to buy something. Now that I have figured out how to read reviews on the internet, I check into anything that I buy, from TEXAS ELECTRICITY PROVIDERS to reviews on ski jackets. I really won’t buy anything over one hundred dollars now a days without reading consumer reviews. Most recently, I had my heart set on buying these beautiful salt and pepper grinders from Williams and Sonoma that were laquered wood. They are absolutely gorgeous and would have looked perfect in my kitchen. After reading the reviews though, I am really so glad that I did not pull the trigger. Most people who had bought them ended up returning them shortly after they purchased them. If I had not have read the reviews, I probably would have made a one-hundred fifty dollar mistake and caused myself a lot of time and aggravation. Gosh, I really love the internet!
