shopping

The average Joe uses Amazon for a good deal and free two-day shipping. Ever wonder what they offer for big-ticket items? Some may surprise you.

I'm not sure why I didn't start doing this sooner! More me time and better food. SCORE!

Here are five tips to make sure you're not one of these people. At least at the grocery store.

Happy National Lash Day! Ulta is celebrating with prestige brand mascara up to 50% off and more!

Don't miss the fun at the Marketplace at Augusta

That's a lot of bees....

I have bought everything from amazon from books to clothes to household needs, art supplies and musical instruments, as well as fitness equipment with great success. Its taken me a while to realize that not all online shopping sites are created equal though. I've had the WISH app on my phone and deleted it. Anytime I see clothing with a model of Asian descent I know I cant order those clothes.

This past winter, after schlepping a gigantic bag of dog food from shelf to cart to register to car to home, I decided I was going to have my dog food delivered to my house through Amazon. We then added the large 24 count toilet paper to the order and never since have I had to go buy these nor have I run out. So with phone in hand on Sunday morning, I began perusing Amazon for laundry soaps, fabric softeners, toilet cleaner, paper towels and such.

It's three word most parents can't wait to hear, 'back to school'! When, I was shopping with my mom for back to school in the 1970's and 80's I remember going to stores that are no longer around.

Back to school shopping is getting underway and the question is ‘how much will you spend on back to school shopping?’ According to the website deloitte.com the average is $488 for your children this year.

So ‘Black Friday’ is coming up the day after Thanksgiving. That is followed by ‘Small Business Saturday’, a chance to shop at the small, local businesses in your community. Monday is ‘Cyber Monday’, a day to do your shopping online.

I will be on vacation next week and I have come to the decision that it's time to buy a new car. I really don't like shopping for a car. The current car I have I bought in April 2006. It's been a good car but it's time to get another car.

If you had $300 to spend on an Amazon shopping spree what would you look to buy? I would look at stuff for around the house, electronics, clothes, new sneakers. I was looking on Amazon today and saw some Asics Men's running shoes, some Nature Valley granola bars, a Hoover Carpet Washer. So many awesome things!

Back when I was in school, back to school shopping meant going to Barefoot Trader on Lisbon Street in Lewiston to buy a couple pairs of corduroys (those pants were horrible), some notebooks, pens and pencils and maybe a new lunchbox. Maybe 75 bucks spent.
