Freaky Frugalite

It’s almost time for the Back-to-School sales. I’m starting to see spiral notebooks, crayons, and packages of lines paper planted at the aisle ends in my grocery store. Sheesh, it’s still JULY, isn’t it? But actually, I can always use that kind of stuff (and we do school during the summer, anyway), so I usually [...]

I missed it. A SUPER SUPER DUPER deal on a laptop. I got the notification in an email (if you don’t get their emails, you should– they showcase the most incredible deals) about an HP laptop with a dual-core processor, 80GB hard drive, and XP Pro, for $299 with shipping! Of course, it’s factory refurbished, [...]

I spotted this funny gadget at Buy.com today as I was sifting through their weekly sale email (btw, do you get their email notifications?! You should! The deals are incredible): It’s a toothbrush sanitizer! OMG it’s hilarious! I think I love it. This is the description from the site: Not many are aware that toothbrushes [...]

My kids are teenagers. Well, one turned 20 this year (OMGOMG!!). We remember when the *first* Toy Story movie came out. Oh dear, my eldest went on a “Woody” binge. EVERYTHING had to be like a cowboy. We were dirt poor back then, and couldn’t afford a Woody doll. Oh, how I looked and looked [...]

OK. Confession time. I LOVE ELECTRONICS. My step-dad was an electronics repairman. As a kid, I used to spend countless hours with him in his huge workshop (which was an old one-story house that he converted into a workshop). Yes, there were FIVE rooms in that house, totally devoted to his electronics repair (mostly TVs [...]

I have never seen such a good sale on a SONY Vaio. PEOPLE– if you have been wanting one of these Vaio laptops, this is a steal! It’s the SONY Vaio EB1HGX/BI notebook. It looks sooooo good. I have been wanting to get a Vaio for a while now. I have never seen them priced [...]

Right now is a great time to grab some outstanding deals on electronics. Buy.com has released their weekly sale email flyer; it’s stuffed with some really terrific stuff! I saw this Toshiba 1Terabyte eSATA external hard drive… under $100!!! That stinks, actually, because I got a generic name external HDD recently, and it is only [...]

Finally, the prices of electronics are going down again. Buy.com is having a stupendous sale on a lot of really nice stuff right now! This one made me bug my eyes: the DLA iBoom Clock Radio. Original price is $100, it’s on sale for $40!! It charges the iPod while docked, and has some nice [...]

This has GOT to be the absolutely coolest thing I have seen. Hands down, this is the best gadget of the year! I saw this on sale at Buy.com and it is amazing! It’s the Sony Dash. It’s a “personal Internet viewer.” I have always wanted one of these. How many times have I been [...]

I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a new camera (since my old, refurbished one is showing signs of lens problems), and spotted this Polaroid t833 Digital 8MP point and shoot camera. It’s WATERPROOF! And it’s on sale for $99! This is part of the Buy.com weekly sale, so if you want it, you’d better act [...]
