OK, Christmas and holiday shoppers… I have some goodies for you. Buy.com is really ramping up their sales lately. Look what I found!

A very, very inexpensive laptop. This would be perfect for one of the young children, or for travel. It’s a Visual Land 7″ Netbook with built-in wireless. It’s a very small computer with small hard drive and etc– but it’s perfect if you have an elementary-grade child who wants/needs a computer, and you just don’t want to spend $1000 on a Sony Vaio for them yet! This netbook has no moving parts, either (it’s got an internal flash drive memory instead of a spinning hard drive), so it’s very durable. I got something similar (an Eee PC) for my youngest son a few years ago, same kind of components. It’s still plugging away. These things tolerate rough treatment such as handling by a child or carrying around in a travel bag. The price is only $90!!!
This is one I am SO tempted to snatch up myself. It’s a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. It’s 62% off! It’s just $29 and includes free shipping. A wireless keyboard is wonderful! I have one, and I love it. I no longer have this mass of wires all over my desk. This is a great deal, and again, makes a great holiday gift.

Those are just a few of the really good sales that jumped out at me. Buy.com is also selling stuff for back to school (backpacks, shoes, Microsoft Office Student), and there are summer clearances going on right now.


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
