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.

Edit: According to Random.org, the winner is….#1) Sharon! Sharon is also getting married soon and said she’d like to use the postcards as thank you cards for her engagement gifts. Congrats!

UPrinting is giving 100 postcards away to one of my readers! While I’ve been slaving away on wedding favors and invites and just about every other handmade detail I could possibly stress over, there are certain things best left to the professionals. So I’m using UPrinting’s postcard printing services to print out directions from the ceremony to the reception (the two venues are a good 20-minute drive apart and I’m not leaving my guests to just wander the streets of San Diego aimlessly). I contemplated printing directions out at home and cutting pages in half to make them flyer-like, but then I realized there’s absolutely no reason to make life harder on myself than necessary. Plus, postcards are way more professional, and pretty inexpensive. UPrinting to the rescue!

If you don’t happen to be getting married anytime soon, postcards can be a great way to get the word out about an event, party, recent move, marriage, baby, etc. They also make nice handouts for businesses at Farmer’s Markets, meetings and conventions. They’d make cool recipe cards to have on hand, too, especially if you happen to have one particular recipe that everyone constantly demands.

Prize:
100 4 x 6 Postcards for one (1) winner
Specifications: 14pt Cardstock Gloss. Full Color Both Sides
