I guess I was wrong about Keeble & Shucat

I found Photographic Solutions Eclipse E2 CCD Sensor Cleaner at Keeble & Shucat for cheaper than the cheapest price available online! I paid $8.30 (including taxes). It so happened I was not only one of the folks short on time to end up at that store, I also lucked out with the price. I wish [...]

I will stay away from DealExtreme

Early last month, I ordered an i-SmartSim SIM Card Unlock Attachment for my Nokia N75 from DealExtreme.com. About ten days after I placed the order, I received a package in the mail. Upon opening the thick brown envelope, I was shocked to not find the SIM card unlock attachment in it. My emails to DealExtreme@gmail.com [...]

Frugal January 2008

The way economy has been lately, I have decided to be as frugal as possible. I need to save something for the rainy days ahead. Looking back at my spending last month, I am glad I didn’t buy any non-essential stuff. I spent only on food, fuel (for my car) and alcohol (fuel for myself). [...]

Since its debut late last month, most of the online stores have sold out their [...]

Got Toshiba HD-A2 at Walmart’s “Secret” In-Store Special for $98.97

While this HD-DVD player is not slim with space-age looks, (as of today) I think it is worth $98.97 it was on sale for. The price includes a coupon which (if/when redeemed) can get (by mail) five HD-DVDs from among a selection of fifteen HD-DVDs. Free HD-DVDs have to be one from each of the [...]

Yes, Water with Burger King Meal!

If you must eat at Burger King, there is a healthy alternative to the soda that comes with value meal: Water. Yes, H2O. Although we do not see it in the menu, we can still say “meal number 9 with water, please” when placing the order to get a bottle of cold water with the [...]
