Here lately I’ve been really paying attention to trying to save some money wherever possible. I don’t consider myself a hardcore coupon person, but if I see a coupon for something we buy regularly, then I’ll save it and use it.
The Cellfire website brings that pin-point item selection right to you. What’s nice is they deliver those coupons to you in a way that’s probably as convenient as possible and something you’ve already got with you at the store: your cell phone and a store savings card.

I just heard about a new online tool recently called Springpad. It allows you to quickly organize and share a variety of bits and pieces of information that you collect throughout the day that are important to you and put them into defined structure and places.
The other benefit of Springpad is that it harnesses the power of the social networking world and allows you to interact with and share your collections of data with those that are important to you too.
I would say the power of Springpad doesn’t rely in it’s ability to collect your information though, it’s more …read more

I’m normally not a big candy lover. However, one of my weaknesses is just about anything gummi. My personal favorites are the classic gummi worms and gummi bears, but also like the sour gummi worms too.
I’ve uncovered a website that provides what has now risen to the top of my Christmas list for the year. I can purchase a blue, green or red 5lb. gummi bear for less than $30. That’s 5lb’s of GUMMI GOODNESS! The equivalent of 1400 regularly sized gummi bears.
The Vat19 website has much more than ginormous gummi bears though. They’ve also go all kinds of other …read more

I was recently asked a question about how to grow different herbs and spices in someone’s home. My memory immediately flashed back to my early childhood when I would thumb through the pages of my grandmother’s Burpee seed catalog.
Burpee has done a bit of growing of their own lately and are now filling the Internet with their wealth of horticulture resources and growing tips.
As with their paper catalogs at my grandmother’s house, the Burpee website provides information on flowers, herbs, vegetables, gardening supplies and a cornucopia of tips and tricks for getting the most out of your gardens and flower …read more
