Garmin Offers Map Updates for Lifetime and Free One-Time Update
One of my biggest complaints with my Garmin device has always been the cost of updating the maps, well, that and it occasionally sucking. With the cost of updating maps nearly costing the price of the Garmin device itself, it hard to swallow the shelling out the money for the update (that’s not what she [...]
Does Priceline Actually Work?
I think I may be a little late to tout the benefits of Priceline, but having recently used it for the first time a month ago and again last week, I am not sure if I will ever make another reservation the traditional way—it actually does work, I’m proof.

What is the Best Media Streamer for the Price?
Now that Apple has revealed its new Apple TV device (apparently
available sometime in October) many people are going to start to get
serious about purchasing a media streamer. While I still think there
is far more flexibility with purchasing a small computer tower or
laptop for your media, the media streamers hitting
the market now are so affordable they [...]

Shop Online for Sports Memorabilia Gifts
As a big Minnesota sports fan, I often get presents from friends and family of logo filled memorabilia and as lame is it sounds, I love it. It seems like now, most sports memorabilia can really set you back financially. For example, a jersey can cost well over $100 and mug or shot glass at the [...]
Ways to Increase Your Savings Account
It wasn’t long ago when we were writing about the horrible savings habits of U.S. households. Only a few years ago, the personal savings rate bottomed at less than 1%, meaning that Americans were saving less than 1% of what their take home pay was. Now, the personal savings rate is higher than it has [...]
Redbox Now Does Blue-ray Hooray!
Everyone has heard (read) us rave about Redbox for their cheap rentals and numerous kiosks, but they have gotten better. Why? Because they will now be carrying Blu-ray disks for a whopping $1.50. That’s a pretty sweet deal and maybe enough to get people on the fence about buying a Blue-ray player to actually get [...]
