Savvy Review: Philips Avent Steriliser Versus Tommee Tippee Steriliser

Savvy Deals, Savvy Reviews
Philips Steriliser Vs Tommee Tippee Steriliser For this review we wanted to compare the Philips Avent unit against it's main competitor, Tommee Tippee steriliser. Why? Well when it's 10:30pm in the evening and you're deciding who's washing up the bottles and who's getting up during the night, we needed something that works. We've used both units, and thought it worth sharing our insights for others to make those night time feed more smooth for bottle fed babies. The Philips AVENT 3-in-1 Steriliser is Philips' main wall powered baby and infant bottle steriliser. It boasts 3 sizes in its setup. This is a big contrast to the Tommee Tippee steriliser and its one size fits all approach. It has a small compact option suitable for accessories, soothers and teats. A medium,…

Savvy Deals, Savvy Reviews, Savvy Tips
Christmas toys 2016; worth their cost? Christmas toys can often divide opinion. Over the past few months we've been putting together some reviews of the toys expected to be popular this Christmas. It's not an exhaustive list, but the reviews we have done for each attempt to really concentrate on whether you're getting value for money. We will include the price in October 2016 and the price in November to see if prices have been inflated in the Christmas run-up. SPINMASTER HATCHIMALS Tipped to be one of the "must have" Christmas toys this year, we've reviewed both the Green and Pink versions. Our green was ordered from Amazon France but was still the standard UK, or rather European edition. Although the two eggs are similar this Green was far preferred…

Savvy Recipes, Savvy Reviews
Tastesmiths Curry Kits Review We have been trialling a few "scratch meal" kits from various providers over the last few months. Mainly to see how easy they are for meals when Mrs Savvy returns to work at the end of her maternity leave. We've looked at boxes with weekly meal plans (we'll post those reviews later) and simple off the shelf starter kits. For the purposes of this review, we dedicated a few meals one week to trying out a couple of curries from the lovely people at Tastesmiths. You can buy Tastesmiths Curry Kits on Amazon with FREE delivery. Take Away, Curry Kits or Supermarket options? Curries are a firm favourite in our house. They are on the table at least once a week.

Savvy Review: Braun Series 9 9291cc

Savvy Reviews
We were lucky enough to be given the latest premium Braun 9291cc shaver to review here at Savvy Dad HQ, and with a price tag in the £100's it had to be worth it to make it into my daily frugal routine. Firstly, I was looking to be convinced with moving to an electric shaver. I've tried them in the past and never found the closeness of shave or comfort a match for manual blades. I've tried a few Philips electrics and an old Remington but hated them, even though they boasted "wet" shave options.   This Series 9 9291cc is a revelation though, although it will never completely replace my trusty Gillette Pro Fusion blades for closeness and smoothness there are a number of reasons why I'll keep it charged…
