So I have this problem: I have too much money and not enough ways to spend it. I try really hard – I watch QVC and HSN. I buy things like the Slap Chop and Magic Bullet! But alas…SO MUCH MONEY, so little time. I even occasionally look to celebrities for inspiration on spending excessive amounts of cash.

Oh wait, no. I’m sorry – that was an excerpt from my dream world. Let me refocus. MY dilemma is smart spending. Yes, that’s it. Lack of money. As a young person starting a family, I need to be selective. I want to buy things that are high-quality and long-lasting, but not too expensive. Amazon’s product ratings serve as a good guide, but it takes forever to filter through all the options and focus on the products I care about. I need a site to make my shopping process simple. Give me the the highest rated and most frequently purchased items in the product category I want. And then send it straight to my house. Am I asking too much??

Cooking.com makes things simple (for kitchenware, at least). If I’m looking for a coffee maker, I type in “coffee maker” and it gives me the top rated and the best-selling brewer, side-by-side. I can see comments by previous purchasers as well as an extensive, easily-sortable list of other coffee makers. When I make my (extremely easy and straightfoward) decision, I can buy the item I want right on their site – usually at a discounted price. Better yet, they put a link to all available factory rebates right next to the selling price. And better STILL, there are tons of Cooking.com coupons listed over on Savings.com, a clever social couponing site that can best be described as ”PennySaver meets Digg.” So not only is it easy to find what I want, it’s easy to get the best price on it.

One last awesome benefit that makes it SO much easier for me to locate gadgets on Cooking.com: the site really does show the best of the best. If I look for a meat tenderizer over at Crate & Barrel, I get your generic everyday meat mallet:

If I search on Cooking.com, I do get the generic meat mallet (because that’s what’s popular and sells high volumes), but I also get THIS:

Holy cow! These people are serious about their meat. And did I mention they also have hundreds of delicious recipes also on this same site? Yeah, I dare you to browse over there without blowing your budget AND your diet.
