Buy Your Groceries Online?

I like to use Amazon.com whenever I can for purchases. In general I have found that their prices tend to be about the same or lower than other places I might like to shop, and the site sells literally everything so I can truly purchase everything I need all at once without having to make several charges on my credit card bill or search through tons of different websites. A few weeks ago Amazon proved to me that they didn’t sell “everything” when they launched their new grocery section. When I had originally stated everything it never crossed my mind … Continue reading →

Have You Been Introduced to Amazon.Com?

Probably the most innovative website I’ve ever encountered. Amazon.com is truly unique and definitely a one stop shopping place for the frugal of society who love to read or need a book for one thing or another.

My Dark Ebay Secret

Posted on by

Okay, I have a hard time admitting this. I know that many people will scoff and argue with me about my point of view, but I must admit that I really have never found a great bargain on Ebay. Or at least nearly never. It seems like more than ninety percent of the time, when I go to Ebay looking for a bargain on something, I end up disappointed at how much the items actually cost. I find myself thinking that I could get comparable items somewhere else for just as little or less. For instance, at Christmastime I was … Continue reading →
