I shop online constantly. For a few years, I even did it professionally for a company I own with my brother Joe. The profits for the business, and our rent, healthcare and groceries depended on me finding the best deal I could in a small amount of time. Extreme couponing does work, but it takes time and attention which I can’t spare. It’s too inconvenient. From a business perspective, speed and convenience are very important. So when buying products and supplies, I became very adept at saving...

I had my last pair of glasses for years. They were the kind with the half rims on top and the plastic string thing on the bottom. Once they got bent, there was no way to get them back to the way they were. They stayed bent and I couldn’t get the lens to sit correctly in the frame because the stupid string would pop out. Time for new glasses. It had been years since my last eye exam, however, so I wanted to make sure I had an up-to-date prescription before getting new glasses. I don’t have...

I love coffee. I got hooked on it when I used to work at Starbucks for a few years. But it’s more expensive than making coffee at home, so I try to get the most for my money when I go. To make it more worthwhile for those of us with a smaller budget for coffee, here are some tips for getting the most out of your next Starbucks visit! Registering for their rewards program (which is as easy as downloading the Starbucks app and following their prompts) means you can get free refills of hot...

Trouble with Marcy and Grace has been brewing this season after Carly spilled the beans, letting Marcy know that her reset by Grace in Season 1 may have been against her will.

I need a new mattress, and I’ve found a new, good quality, queen-sized mattress and a boxspring/bedframe for way less than I thought I would be able to. I’ve been needing a new mattress for a while, and I thought I’d be lucky to get a good one for $800. The famous Casper mattresses basically start there, and the Purple and Saatva mattresses share a similar price point. So I just assumed that’s what it would take to get a satisfactory night’s sleep. But my brother Joe...

IMAGE FROM SONY.COM BLACK FRIDAY DEALS ARE STARTING TO ROLL IN ALREADY, and Sony just revealed their gaming deals, starting 11/19 and running through 11/27. I highly recommend the PS4 as a gaming console, even if you just want to game very casually. I only play sporadically, and very casually, but I did buy a PS4 on day one when it launched four years ago, and it’s still working great. Occasionally, I play PS4 games with my small children, which can be great fun, and from time to time...

Amazon’s Subscribe & Save is a great feature, but it’s a little complicated, and it’s a little more of a commitment than most of us want when we’re casually buying from Amazon. In fact, you have to wait for your subscription to ship a lot of the time! it’s almost the complete opposite of what Amazon stands for as they push towards quicker and quicker shipping. So Amazon.com isn’t set up to make it easy to use Subscribe and Save. Here’s how you hack it. Find at least one item...
