Shopping Easy Online with RedMart

Dominique Advertorials, Parenting and Kids, Reviews Redmart

Grocery shopping with kids is one of the most stressful can be one of the most stressful experience for a mom of multiples. It can be a mammoth task getting the kids in and out of the supermarket with the groceries in one piece. Every week I have to plan my trip to the supermarket carefully to ensure that I need to take only one kid along for grocery shopping at any one time.

Bring along more then one kid along for grocery shopping and you will have to play referee as they kids will be fighting to be the one to push the shopping cart along the aisle. Giving them a trolley each to push is not an option as it will only lead to a trolley race off between the boys. Even though if only one of them gets to push the trolley you may still hear me shouting at them to be careful and not to steer their shopping trolley into other shoppers as they treat is like a racing car.

At times like that I wish that I have hands like an octopus, and eyes like a fly to make sure that all three kids are kept out of trouble.

Trust me it isn’t a pretty sight to see a trolley tipped over with groceries spilling out onto the floor as one of the boys had sent it spinning down a ramp just for the fun of it. It will certainly make you swear not to go grocery shopping again with the kids!!

These days we are lucky to be able to order groceries “safely ” from the comforts of our own home. No more supermarket disaster trips with the kids and I can have a stress free grocery shopping experience.

The main page

RedMart is the latest online grocery shop where you can buy your groceries with a click of the mouse. There is no need to be stressed up doing grocery shopping with the kids and I have the convenience to shop anytime. I can even do my shopping at the dining table while monitoring the kids as they are doing their homework.

You just need to sign up for an account and can get started shopping with ease. Signing up with them also makes it easier for you to re-order in the future. You are also notified via e-mail about their latest promotions and deals.

Adding items to the cart

My User experience

Shopping with RedMart was really simple.

After creating an account for myself I just had to click to the different sections to see the variety of items that they had to offer. (They do have a large selection of products) If I wanted a particular item I just needed to click on the red button that shows “add to cart” and my selection would be taken note off. The website was really easy to navigate and within 20 minutes I was done with my purchases.

The prices are really competitive and comparable to the major supermarkets.

I compared the prices of certain items on the website and were surprised to see that they match the prices which I have been paying for the item when I go for my grocery run.

RedMart offers free delivery for purchases above $75.

This is really good as it can be extremely cumbersome to lug the heavy groceries bags home while at the same time carrying a 14kg heavy Tiger girl. Many a times I feel as if my arms are going to give way due to the excessive weight that I have to bear.

The bags of groceries- delivered!!

Within placing the order for my groceries it was promptly delivered on the selected day at the given timing. That’s a real thumbs up from me for good service. I’m certainly going to continue using their service now that I know how easy it is to go shopping without the kids 🙂

Read Easy with a 3M LED 6000 Polarizing Lamp

Dominique Advertorials, Parenting and Kids

3M Polarizing Light LED6000

Having a proper study lamp is extremely important if you want to take proper care of your eyes. With the correct lamp you will not have to squint your eyes and face the possibility of spoiling your eyesight due to glare or insufficient lighting. It will also ensure you having the correct indoor lighting to prevent developing blurred vision. We were fortunate to be able to test out the 3M Polarizing Light LED6000 when it was delivered last week.

The LED Light

With the Lime Green 3M LED 6000 Polarizing Lamp the kids and I can now do our reading in comfort.We do not need to deal with flicking or glaring light while reading and even harmful ultra violet rays due to the 3M Air Guiding Technology being applied to the lamp. The possibility of having multi-shadowing and electromagnetic disruption to reading is also eliminated.

Lasting 50,000 hours with a consumption level of between 3.6-12 Watts the sleek and ergonomic lamp offers five brightness levels to suit all your reading needs. It is certainly nifty energy saving device to have in the home.

Touch Sensor control base

You just have to take a look at the base of the lamp to see how high tech the design is.

One needs to only swipe your hand over the sensors to switch on the lamp and adjust the level of brightness of the light.

With a minimum brightness of 10 Lux to a maximum brightness of 1,000 Lux you can be assured of optimal brightness for your reading pleasure.

Being a full time mom I only have time to settle down and read my favourite photography magazine when the kids are all asleep. With the 3M LED 6000 Polarizing Lamp I can enjoy reading without disturbing the sleeping baby in the same room. I don’t even need to switch the lamp up to a brightness level of four of five as it is bright enough for reading comfortably under with the ceiling light switched on at the same time.

Another feature of the 3M LED 6000 Polarizing Lamp is that it able to be folded up for easy storage. You just have to see how flat it becomes in the picture below. The flexibility of the parts also enables the lamp to be freely adjusted to the direction and height that you require for reading.
