If you spend any time shopping online then you should most definitely check out PriceBlink. It’s a browser addon that make it easy to find the best deals while shopping on retailer sites. It even works for obscure products like 3″ chlorine tablets for your swimming pool.

I recently became a new pool owner and had no idea of some of the costs associated with pool ownership. Let’s take chlorine tables for example. I bought a 20 lb bucket of tablets at my local pool store for $70 this past week. Anyone that owns a pool will most likely tell me I got ripped off. Aside for the convenience factor of buying local, you’re absolutely right. But time was of the essence and I didn’t have time to order them online and wait a few days for them to arrive at my door.

Moving forward I’ll be buying chlorine tablets online and with the help of my trusty comparison addon, PriceBlink. I just searched for the same brand/size of tablets that I currently use and ended up on the Walmart site. Although Walmart didn’t have pricing for my area, PriceBlink told me I could get a 37.5 lb bucket of HTH tablets for $99.74.

After doing some of my own Googling I found them for $20 more at Capitol Supply. That’s a no brainer. Now I realize that shipping comes into play here, but the nice thing is that PriceBlink tells me the shipping cost of items or at least let’s me know there’s a shipping fee by including “plus shipping” in the price menu.

After clicking the lowest price I was taken to a nifty site called Ron’s Home and Hardware:

When it comes time to buy my next bucket of chlorine tablets I’m glad to know PriceBlink will be around to give me peace of mind. PriceBlink helps me:

• Find the best deals on mainstream products
• Fine the best deals on obscure projects like chlorine tablets
• Introduces to nifty online retailers such as Ron’s hardware

The next time you consider buying ANYTHING online you should install the PriceBlink addon. It’s completely free and provides price comparison for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Internet Explorer. If you want to see PriceBlink in action then check out the video below. Enjoy!

A buddy recently sent me a link to a cool site that allows you to search for Amazon Prime items. The site is called iPrimr and if you haven’t heard of Amazon Prime yet you should definitely check it out!  I can guarantee this will come in very handy for holiday shoppers.  I’m not currently a member, but plan on joining soon.  It seems like a no-brainer if you do a considerable amount of shopping on Amazon, which I do.  Enjoy!

My three favorite things about the iPhone (in no particular order):

1. Support for Google Maps and bouncy push pins
2. Rotation sensor to switch between landscape and portrait modes
3. Crazy multi-touch zoom capabilities (very ingenious)

Check ‘em out in the video below:

It always seems that I never have enough time (and money) to play with all the cool toys out on the market. Just when I think I have enough hobbies there’s always something bigger and better that comes along. Tonight I stumbled across the iRobot Create and am tempted to place my order right now.

I’m guilty of compulsive on-line ordering, but how can you go wrong with the iRobot Create?  I guess it will mean many more late nights fidgeting and programming the robot to do cool tricks.  Maybe I can get it to transmit a frequency that keeps my neighbor’s dogs from barking.  If you’re a robot enthusiast then this definitely looks like a good kit to play around with.

I always enjoy innovative stocking stuffers and was able to put one to work today. It’s called the GrabBag and makes it simple to carry multiple plastic bags without killing your fingers. If you’re like me you try to get every plastic bag within a single trip. Now the GrabBag (two would be better) makes this possible. Below is a photo of it in action:

Yes it’s one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” inventions.
