This blog is all about shopping and in particular shopping online so I really know what I’m talking about when I say there are a lot of benefits to shopping online. Here are just 10 of the reasons why shopping online is a great idea:
Folks I am doing some advance planning here, and decided to throw out some ideas for my Christmas shopping. I find that novelty gadgets to enhance our computer operating experience, even the nerdy, geeky ideas, go down really well.
Now this one may not be for everyone but I do know a certain someone who would simply love this roll up wireless keyboard. The sale page for this roll up keyboard informs you that for $17.99 you can get yourself “wireless freedom” with this 2.4 GHz Wireless Flexible MultiMedia Portable Keyboard, which can be rolled up for easy portability making it an ideal portable keyboard for notebook computers.
I have recently been having some trouble with my computer speakers though they have served me diligently for the past several years, giving me clear and big (when required) sound. So in my quest for new computer speakers I looked around the internet for computer speakers, home theater speakers etc to see what I could come up with. I also need computer speakers to amplify my iPod and play my satellite radio on.
I had a few requirements. They should have clear, big sound, if possible several pieces to give that real surround effect and they should look good! These are the ones that struck my fancy:
Now I tend to trust instinctively when ‘It’s a Sony!’ and that these Sony SS-F6000 Floor Standing Speaker - SSF6000 I thought were really sleek and attractive. I looked at a few sites for these and they seemed to be the cheapest at buy.com. AT $129 they fall within my budget. However I am going to look for them in a store because the shipping cost here is rather high. I am loath to fork out 55 dollars for shipping.
Now these I found to be a little freaky looking, but find myself strangely drawn to this Soundsticks II Multimedia System for $111.15. For sheer novelty value and the fact that they are available for free shipping over at ebay, I am tempted by these.
This set of Acoustic Research AW-877 900-MHz Indoor Wireless Speakers – Pair has some really great features: they are the cordless variety with a 250 foot range and Battery or AC Power. I rather fancy the idea of carrying the speakers with me from room to room, wherever I happen to be. The list price of the speakers is $199 but they are available for a hefty $70 discount so I am very tempted by these for $129.99.
If any of you got some good deals with computer or home theater system speakers, do let me know. I would value your input.
You may have noticed that the site has been postless (if there is such a word) for the past few days. And you may well ask why and where I had been. Well I was right here, only veering between anxiety and despair, and relief and elation. Anxiety and despair happened when my hard drive crashed. Everyone please take note, this can happen to any and I mean any of us! Relief and elation came when I realized that all was not lost and that help is at hand!
Help for hard drive recovery is at hand from dtidata.com. It is an incredible relief to realize that your data, work, photos, music, videos and all the things that you so painstakingly collected and collated is all safe and that your hard drive repair is possible. (It felt like I had felt when I lost my iPod at the mall and went back 4 hours later to find it safe and sound!)
Encouraged by my blogging venture, my better half has decided to start one of his own. A dear friend had helped me out with the technical aspects while I was setting up my blog. Now this time, we decided to manage everything on our own. Learning the tech aspects needed to be done sooner or later. After all, I had to manage GreatPricesHere myself in the future.
So we began reading about booking a domain and hosting a website and everything else that goes with it. Words like Name Servers, hosting plans, MySQL databases, downtime, support tickets etc started making a lot more sense to us than they ever did. We got a lot of information from this web host rating website. They rate web hosting providers based on user reviews. We learnt that a multiple domain hosting account is much better since you can add unlimited websites to the same hosting account later thus saving money in the long run and having better manageability. A cheap web hosting is not necessarily bad and an expensive one is not necessarily good. The idea is to find a cheap and good web hosting provider! The writer definitely thinks like me!
There are a lot of factors that you can check to determine whether a particular web host is going to provide good service or not. These web hosting articles are a great help for anyone wanting to know about how and where to host a website. They guide you through the procedure of finding a good and cheap host that will ensure least downtime and excellent support.
GreatPricesHere is hosted with BlueHost. I have had a good experience with them so far. The downtime has been negligible. If you, my readers, have ever noticed a snag in my website, had an error thrown up when you try to load it, or find it loading extremely slowly, please do let me know through your comments. Now since I understand all this tech stuff much better, I’ll try to do something about it.
I exhausted my HP printer ink cartridge today. So, of course, the bargain hunter that I am, I decided there just has to be a better option than buying cartridges from HP or BestBuy at their price. I chanced upon a really great website.
This website can help any office or home owner with a good use for their printer a lot of money. InkjetDeals.info lists a number of stores that sell good quality Inkjet cartridges at a small fraction of the cost of the original. To top that, they also provide coupon and discount codes for these stores that help you avail an even lower price. You could get a further discount or save on shipping. So overall, you could get an ink cartridge that is as good at about 20 – 30% of the price of the original.
I found the best code for myself. An All Ink Coupon Code giving a 15% discount on any order of any amount. That’s the one I used to order my stock.
Another plus is their section on Printer related articles where they give you Ink Saving Tips and help with Troubleshooting Printers. For instance, did you know that when the cartridge is apparently empty, you should take it out and sway it a bit? This helps you use the last bit of ink. I tried it with my printer cartridge (the one I had exhausted) and it did print some more pages before dying out completely. They also have a section telling you about the top 6 brands of printers.
Finding sites like these really makes my day. If any of you come across other sites that offer great stuff for a low price, please let me know and make my day!
