Do you do much coupon shopping? Do you look for online coupons?

Just a Guy — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:13:06 +0000

My wife and I stopped at our usual grocery store this morning to pick up a few things before taking her to work, and my mind was turned toward coupons and coupon shopping. We bought twice the amount of one product as we needed because she had a serious discount coupon on the product.

Just a Guy — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:13:11 +0000

Did all you shoppers out there do what you needed to do during the just-ended holiday shopping season to get us out of this recession? Well, did you? No? Why not?

Remember when toys actually taught kids how to play?

Just a Guy — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 18:24:26 +0000

I really am getting old, I guess, when I look around at today’s toys for kids and compare them with what I had as a youngster in small-town Nebraska. But do you remember back when toys actually taught kids how to play? Toys stimulated our imaginations, built our bodies, taught us to socialize, and, well, were fun to take outside and play with??

How cool is this — ‘Allio’ is an all-in-one HDTV with built-in, quality computer

Just a Guy — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:20:32 +0000

How cool is this — I just ran onto an All in one HDTV / PC: a 32-inch or 42-inch LCD HDTV television with a “Intel Atom 330 Dual Core processor, 2GB of high-speed DDR2-800 memory, and a massive 250GB SATA II hard drive” computer built right into it. It comes complete with USB ports and an ethernet or wireless Internet capability. It also has surround sound, home theater speakers — and the unit is wall mountable.

Anybody following all the gadgets, goodies at CES?

Just a Guy — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:34:40 +0000

I never pass up the chance to spice up the blog with some techie sounding jargon. So I couldn’t resist using CES instead of Consumer Electronics Show — the annual gadget’s galore presentation that just wrapped up its 2009 installment today in Las Vegas.

Useful holiday gift ideas for real coffee lovers

Just a Guy — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 20:10:47 +0000

Having just posted about the wonders of “real man’s” coffee and made fun of “hoytee-toytee” specialty coffee, I hasten to add that I drink espresso and an occasional latte when I can find a good one. It’s just that where I live the espresso and lattes I find are mostly poor and watery. Unlike the wonderful, heavenly shores of Seattle, Boulder, or even Denver — it’s really hard to find great specialty coffee here in good old Springfield, Missouri. My apologies to all in this town who THINK they offer good specialty coffee, but they just need to get out more to discover the truth.

Instead of products — how do you shop for SERVICES?

Just a Guy — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:36:02 +0000

Continuing with the consumerism theme — do you value or price services in the same way you consider products? Or do you look differently at buying a service?

If you were shopping for cheap auto insurance, for example, what’s the most important thing you would look for? Would you simply buy the minimum legal insurance for wherever you live at the cheapest place you could find it? Or would you think about the possible consequences of buying the least and cheapest insurance available?

Price or quality? Which is more important to you as a consumer?

Just a Guy — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:28:39 +0000

Just how do you and I, as consumers, put “value” on items we purchase? From automobiles to faucets, why are we willing to pay considerably more money for one item than another similar item?
