Lose the Husband, Keep the Mattress

Fri, 8 Oct 2004 03:36:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - The first major purchase that my husband and I agreed upon was a new bed. The research and purchasing became my responsibility by default. Which is just as well because I'm more concerned about getting the best bang for our buck. My interest was...

For When the Dog Doesn't Chew Up Your Paperwork

Thu, 18 Jul 2002 16:41:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - I've been hankering for a shredder of my very own, but despite identity theft paranoia (compounded by unauthorized charges to a credit card) and a fear of paper cuts, I couldn't justify the purchase. All that changed after I went through all my papers...

Crux Works: Shopping Nirvana for the Overdemanding, the Tight-Fisted and the Ripped-Off

Mon, 8 Jul 2002 13:58:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - My love affair with Crux Works, an online hardware and software retailer, started on a lark. All right, so it was really a one-night-stand, but it was a most inspiring online shopping experience nonetheless. I am always astonished when a merchant manages...

Sportsman's Guide Online Store: Kevlar Sleeves, Gas Mask Hood, and a Bayonet...My 'Guide Order Has Arrived!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - Recently I needed gear for a camping trip. The Sportsman's Guide had a large selection of tents at outrageous prices, and I'm not kidding about their outrageous prices because as it happened, all their tents were sold out. Sob.

So I spent all...

2002 Subaru Outback Sport: No Buyer's Regret For This Cheapskate

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 15:17:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - Updates - 8/22/07 Still going strong at 35K. At my 30K service I had to replace the clutch and front brakes. The heat shield is loose despite two adjustments so it will be removed at the next oil change. Still on original tires, but I will...

Mail.com: When it's bad, it's very, very bad. When it's good it's below average.

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 10:25:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - I believe it was my wise neighbor, Melvin Krupchek, who once said, "I like free stuff. Especially when it's free." I too, once naively subscribed to that theory. Now as much as I hate to complain about a free service, well, I must.

I admit I...

She ain't sexy but she's got spunk

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 18:37:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ms_bliz - I like hatchbacks. They're versatile, unpopular and goofy-looking. Although on paper I prefer the Subaru Impreza Wagons, before I bought one I needed to satisfy my curiosity regarding the Volkswagen Golf. VW owners are always crowing about how superior...

Just as I predicted, my rates went up at renewal due to insurance fraud in NY.

Update 4/11/2002

I'm not sure if this is my inexpert driving, the FWD, the light weight of the car, or the tires, but these tires slip a bit at launch when the...
