CSN Store Review

I was recently contacted by a representative from CSN stores promotional team and they asked me to do a product review. 

After some research and browsing their site I found out that they carry some fabulous merchandise.  

I had a really tough time trying to figure out what I wanted to get.  They have everything from great shoes to lights for your house.  But I have been eyeing a yogurt maker for months now.  

Why do I want to make my own yogurt? I have no clue, but I do.    So when I put in “yogurt” into the search box and several items returned in the results I was giddy!  


Hello Tribest Yogurt Maker, soon you will be mine.

And after a few clicks though CSN Stores check out process (as a somewhat avid online shopper I found their system easy to use) my Yogurt Maker was on its way.

Four days later (I used standard shipping and it was shipped on time) my yogurt maker arrived.  

I could hardly wait to open it up (but I do have my priorities and walked Addison first).  

I was really happy with the way the packages was shipped.  There were no extra packing peanuts.  It was simply, a box in a box.  Nothing irritates me more is when a forest of trees are used in packing materials for a package the size of postage stamp.  

Hurray Yogurt Machine, boo no yogurt cultures to make yogurt 🙁


After reading the instructions and searching high in low in Chicago I determined that 1. I need to order cultures online 2. I could use store bought yogurt as a stop gap and try out my new yogurt machine.


So that is what I did today!

This morning at 6:30 am (much to Charlie and Addison’s chagrin) I started to make my yogurt. 




Following the instructions, I heated one liter of milk.

I then cooled the milk to 103-113 degrees and added cultured PLAIN yogurt.

I then blended it together

I filled my yogurt jars,  filled the machine, turned it on and went to work.

And guess what???????

I came home to YOGURT!!!!!!  (per the product reviews I read online, the Tribest machine works like a charm)


SUCCESS!!!


Well, I still have not tasted it (yet).  But it looks like yogurt and smells like yogurt and you know what they say, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…its a duck!


I am very excited to try out my yogurt after it has chilled. We will be having it tomorrow morning for breakfast.

As for CSN Stores..

I give them two thumbs up!

Five key items I look for in online shopping:


1. Easy to use
2. Site is easy to search and find product info
3. Easy to check-out
4. Product Ships quickly
5. Product is as advertised

On another note, I’m looking for a new entry way table for the condo…I’ve been searching for months.  This is one of the cabinets that I’m considering at CSN .  I’m sure I’ll be ordering from them soon.
