Sell Out

So if you spend any time at all traveling the Internet Superhighway, you know that Microsoft is continuing its quest toward World Domination with its latest search engine, Bing.

I'll be the first to say I'm a Google girl, tried and true.

BUT.

When it comes to travel, Bing Travel may just be my new best friend. Their travel search engine will tell you whether to buy or wait on those tickets to Vegas, thus saving your pennies for the slots.

(Dear Google: Never fear, I promise I'll only be cheating on your for travel. I'll still continue to bless you with my presence on all other searches---like finding out when Glee premiers or how to cook soba noodles. xoxo Home Fries)

INSERT YOUR NAME, Come on Doooowwwwnnnn!

Well, going to the grocery store isn't quite as exciting as winning the Showcase Showdown on Price is Right.

But, it can be made slightly less painful (or even kinda fun), thanks to the shopping gurus over at The Grocery Game. For a few bucks a month, they take all of the work out of coupon shopping. With their List, they'll show you what to stock up on now, and what to wait on. They monitor retail trends and even let you know which newspaper to buy for certain deals.

All in all, it can save you some major cash at the grocery. If you choose to shop while wearing a bright yellow price tag name tag, far be it for me to judge. Come on down!

Made for TV

I admit it. I'm a sucker for infomercials and have even ordered a product (for only $19.99!) a time or two.

For those of you that also cannot live without a jerky-maker or floor steamer, Carol Wright Gifts is the place for you.

Of course, there are the classics, like the Snuggie.
But there are also things that you could actually use, like this nifty cake pan (for SuperBowl 2010, perhaps?)
