Freaky Frugalite

I went to Buy.com to search for various stuff (we’re renovation the kitchen, so I’m keeping my eyes peeled on their weekly sale flyer) and spotted this honking baby. WHOA. I didn’t even know they were making quad-core Core i7 processors… didn’t they just release the Core i6 a few months ago?! I love a [...]

I’ve been waiting (and waiting and waiting) for electronics prices to come down a little lower again. Looks like my patience is finally paying off. After a long year of pricey computers and accessories, stuff is FINALLY affordable again. Who is in charge of all the price fluctuations, anway?! Didya ever notice that the price [...]

We’ve been dreaming of a new kitchen for YEARS, literally. I’ve lived here for 13 years, and never liked the orange laminate countertops and dark brown ugly cupboards (nor the the green/brown/yellow floor tiles, yick). But now that we are on the precipice of a NEW and IMPROVED (not to mention, electrified!) kitchen… I have [...]

This is really neat! I just posted a review of the book The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel, and I found it at Buy.com! Actually, what I found was The Case For Christ audio book, something I’ve been wanting for quite a while now. Buy.com has it on sale for about $21! Yay! The [...]

We knew it was coming… springtime. Yes, it’s great because everything turns green again, we can open windows and breathe the fresh air again… but for my sons, who are now ITCHING to get outside, it’s a tough time. The last thing they want to be doing is sitting in front of books, slaving away [...]

Just for kicks, I wanted to see how much strollers were. (DON’T get any ideas, I’m looking JUST for KICKS). A friend of mine recently asked if I still had my old jogging stroller that I used with my last child– it was a nice stroller. You know, I cannot remember what on earth I [...]

OK Frugal Hacks, this is the PERFECT time to nab some hot deals at Buy.com! This is the season to stock up on gifts for the holidays later in the year, because the winter inventory is going out and the spring inventory is coming in. I just got my Buy.com newsletter, and am hashing through [...]

I’m a Mac owner! Woooohoooo! It’s official! I’ve been wanting a Macintosh computer for a long time. Well, actually, I WAS already a Mac owner– I have one of the original Macs, the 1984 model. I dug it out of the closet a few months ago, only to discover that the floppies (which run the [...]

Any of you Gen Xers remember Tron? I always think of that movie when I see these gadgets: I finally figured out what that thing is. It’s a Bluetooth headset! I am a computer whiz, but when it comes to cell phones and mp3 players and all that “little” gadgetry, I’ve never been very interested. [...]

I had a strange experience at my local retailer last week. I’ve been in search of some “on ear” headphones. My old ones are tattered beyond recognition and I need a better pair. I like the semi-sound canceling kinds because, as a work-at-home mom, I am bombarded with billions of interruptions throughout the day (and [...]
