Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo likes to quote lines from movies. Tony is a true blue movie fan. You will find him at the cinema with a box of popcorn and nachos nestled in his seat. Oh, he won't have a date. You see, it's been a hard year for Tony in the romance department. But that won't keep him from the cinema.

If you missed 2011's highest grossing movies in the USA you can rent them through Netflix. Read More …

Harness Your Consumer Power

It's happened again. Just two months after Bank of America reversed its decision to charge a debit card usage fee "in response to customer feedback," now Verizon Wireless is doing a the same. Last Friday, Verizon announced a new fee that would charge customers $2 each time they make one-time payments online or over the phone. The very next day, Verizon reversed their decision, citing customer complaints. Whether it was an actual decision or part of a publicity ploy (as some blogs have posited), it's another example of consumers speaking up and showing their power.

Did you realize how much power you have? What are some ways you can get involved as a savvy consumer? Read More …

Tips for Finding Home Organization Items

I'm convinced that you can have the best furniture and the best decorator and still have a house that looks junky. I'm also convinced that you can have second-hand furniture and home decor items that were all purchased at Goodwill and have a fabulous looking house.

One of the best ways to make your home warm and inviting is to make sure it is clean and organized.

When our stuff is everywhere, our home looks less beautiful and it feels much less peaceful. This year, I've included "get more organized" in my list of resolutions. I've been looking for various organizational supplies and I thought I'd share some of my favorite places to find great home organization supplies like boxes, bins and shelving units. Read More …

This is it. This is the year. You're going down two jean sizes. Or three! But you're not sure how you're going to be able to control your urges without some kind of diet pills, and you can't imagine how you're going to fit that into your already-tight budget.

Returning Unwanted Gifts Means Real Treats

I was looking for tape to wrap my presents with last week when I came across something interesting:

It was one of the perils of online shopping: "things in pictures may not resemble real-life object." In this case, ugly sheer shirt, which resembled in cut, style, and color something that a 50's housewife would love. Unfortunately, I am neither from the 50s OR a housewife, so I carefully put aside the item to be returned along with its receipt and prepared to return it by mail.

That was from LAST Christmas. Read More …

This holiday season was big for retail gift cards--it was estimated that $28 billion would be spent, with 58% of shoppers saying they'd be happy to receive them as gifts.

Gift cards are easy to give and can be easy to spend, but apparently they can also be a tremendous waste. This week, the Wall Street Journal reported that $41 million has gone unused in gift cards since from 2005-2011. Amazing!
