A hummus recipe yesterday and an Amazon Friday Sale
today?!?! If this site hadn't jumped the sharked so long ago, this would surely be a jump the shark post... or maybe I'm just reducing your expectations so that I can knock your socks off next week. We'll go with the later. Be prepared to lose your socks.
However, for today, I'm back to picking out some products that Amazon has put on sale for today and today only. So if you like it then you should put a ring on it (or something like that).
- NBA Kids' L.A. Clippers Future Star Watch
- This is my product of the week. This watch has a nice early 80's look about it. I like to think that it's because it's actually from the early 80's and the Clippers are still waiting for their "Future Stars."
- Portable Folding Hammock
- Being lazy isn't always as easy as it seems. For instance it's tough to find a good hammock. When you do they take up so much darn space. And ever try to bring your hammock to the beach? There's never any trees to tie it to. This portable folding hammock solves that problem and at least two dozen other hammock problems that you probably don't even know you have. With 14 of the 17 reviewers giving it 5 stars it's got to be quality.
- Collapsible Pet Feeder
- Much like the hammock, saving space is key thing that I look for in products. This pet food and water dish is a nice way to save a little space when your pet isn't eating. My only issue is that we leave water for our dog Jake all the time. So if we bought this it would never be collapsed. Maybe someone else can find a good use for it though.
- Umbra Aquala Bathtub Caddy
- I had to include this just for the Lazy factor alone. I mean a bathtub, books, and wine... wow.
- Stainless-Steel Beer-Can Chicken Rack with Drip Pan
- You had me at "beer can chicken." I don't know how I missed this phenomenon, but I'm going to have to look into it... soon. Sounds delicious.

About two years ago, I was grocery shopping with my wife when she picked up some hummus and added it to our cart. Being the jerk price-conscious person I am, I inquired why it was so expensive. (I believe it was either $3.99 for around 12 ounces.) “Isn’t hummus just ground [...]

Almost two years ago, I wrote a fairly comprehensive guide on how to save money in Aruba. My wife and I went back there a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised to find that I had more tips to share. We like to go to Aruba because it’s a lot [...]

Save Money On...
This week my wife and I are traveling to Dallas for a wedding. It’s my first trip to Texas. We are planning to see the The Sixth Floor Museum as we’ve heard a lot of great things about it. However, we don’t know a great place for good authentic Texan BBQ. [...]

As many of my regular readers know by now, every Friday Amazon has a sale. Usually it’s a good place to pick up some highly discounted kitchenware. In fact, about half my kitchen was bought from the Amazon Friday Sale. Every week, I hope Amazon puts on a new or [...]

Smart Purchases
I was watching Tech Now this week and the technology show mentioned a scam that’s getting the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) attention. I never really cared too much about these scams, because I assumed, like Nigerian princes, people were smart enough to avoid them. However, after realizing that a lot of people [...]

Dumb Purchases
My friend, Kosmo at The Casual Observer clued me into a Associated Press article about Norway opening up their country’s tax records. The belief by the Norwegian government is that transparency is the best policy. That transparency comes in the form of releasing a “skatteliste” or “tax list” to the media.
I realize [...]

This weekend my wife and I did a lot of cleaning in preparation for having The Digerati Life and Stop Buying Crap over for a game of Settlers of Catan. I think we spent 8 hours each day in preparation. I would like to say we split the work 50-50, but my [...]

A couple of weeks ago, on our trip to The Wedding that Wasn’t, I realized something that made me sick to my stomach. We had booked our return flight to San Francisco during the three-hour span that the New England Patriots were playing. I have very few rules, but one of them [...]
