While perusing the coupons and flyers which came with the Sunday paper today, I noticed that Best Buy featured a new feature that is both in-store and online: The Best Buy Trade-in Center.  It looks like it could be a great way to get a little extra cash from your own electronics that are outdated, [...]

I love shopping online, but I hate the following:  buying items on sites which a)charge shipping, b) I can’t get cashback on Sunshine Rewards, or c)  I can’t find any reviews about them.  I’ve recently made purchases on two such sites, and I thought I’d offer my review to the web on them.

I made my second Groupon today-I ordered a gift certificate to a store that has been catching my eye for a bit.  I also experienced a wonderous headdesk-I was waiting for my previous Groupon to come in the mail, but it’s waiting to be printed in my groupon account.  Oops.
