One thing I love about the internet is the availability of so many real, first-person testimonials about any number of products. Sure, you have to weed through the falsified testimonials put out on product websites are written by ringers on sites like Amazon, but you can usually tell which reviews are for real.
When I bought […]

I think a lot of women would agree that a man in uniform just plan looks nice. I suppose there is just something about nearly any uniform that makes a man look more put-together and polished around the naturally rough edges.
That’s why I love that uniform elements, like military BDU pants, which are being worn […]

OK, so maybe I do not NEED new luggage as much as I WANT new luggage. I am trying to figure out the dates for my trip with my daughter to go see my dad in DC. While I was moving things around in the garage after the infamous snake incident, I gathered my luggage […]

I’m not a regular drinker. When I do drink alcohol, though, I want it to be high-quality, flavorful, and worth my time and money. Since I am not someone who drinks simply to get drunk, but rather for the enjoyment of the actual beverage, I am always looking for the best of the best: be […]

I’m a comparison shopper by nature. I used to keep a little notebook in my purse to keep track of prices of the different items I bought on a regular basis, and how their prices varied from store to store. I have always put effort into my big ticket purchases, by calling around or spending […]

Crocs are molded rubber shoes made in China. I assume they cost much less than a buck to manufacture, but since they are all the rage, they cost about $35 a pair.
I only bought my daughter a pair, because I found a brand new pair one size larger than her foot at a yard sale […]

I cannot put into words how difficult my father is to buy for when it comes to gifts: birthdays, Christmas, anniversary, and Father’s Day. He is the kind of guy who has grown into a very narrow scope in interest in his middle-age, and he tends to go out and buy the things he needs, […]

One of my favorite things about being a girl is that we can pamper ourselves in so many ways. Nobody bats an eyelash when we take hot bubble baths, slather on lotions, use a double conditioning rinse in our hair, spend our mad money on a pedicure, or dress for frilly comfort. And, we get […]

There are certain times of the year that items like electronics, jewelry and gift-type items are less expensive. If you are in the market for a new flat screen TV or a new laptop and you can wait to get the best deal, you may as well hold out and take advantage of Thanksgiving specials, […]

It is so amazingly hard to shop for a man. I don’t care how well you know a guy, shopping for them is difficult. When I was married, I had a short list of things that were safe to buy my husband as gifts. Once we got off that list, it was safer to just […]
