Big House Approved Products

We all want it but we have to search to find it: quality products that are worth our time and money. Not only that, we don’t want to have to spend a fortune to get them.

We strive to live a cleaner/greener/non-toxic lifestyle. We have done A LOT of research to find quality products at a reasonable price.

We also strive to find products & appliances for around our house that have the best quality for the best value.

This list is the culmination of 10+ years of research and product testing. I share in hopes of saving you time and money!
