Web Site of the Week #12: Amazon Gold Box

Although I don’t often buy online, when I do, it’s usually from Amazon. I love their comments, (usually) free shipping, and ease of checking out. Although I think most people know about Amazon, I don’t think everyone knows about Amazon Gold Box. Every day, Amazon Gold Box offers deals that are just available for a few hours, or until they sell out. It also offers an all day deal, and another list of sales Amazon is having that day. Amazon Gold Box has deals on everything from workout equipment to electronics to jewelry.

So I've now posted a dozen Web sites of the Week as promised. I won't be posting Web site recommendations weekly in the future, but I'll definitely let you know when I find other amazing Web sites I want to share.

Web Site of the Week #11: Diet Facts

As someone who likes to know how fattening food at my favorite restaurants is, I find dietfacts.com very useful. You can search alphabetically by restaurant, and then alphabetically by item. Some restaurant’s nutrition info isn’t available because they’ve chosen not to release it. However, if a restaurant has ever released their nutrition info, this Web site will have it. I admit that I’m not a fan of the Web site’s layout and navigation, however, other Web sites actually charge people for this information, so I love that this Web site free and up to date.

Web Site of the Week #10: Baby Cheapskate

My deal-seeking friends with babies say that when they are looking for the best deals on diapers and other baby items, babycheapskate.blogspot is the first place they look. This blog provides weekly listings of the best diaper (and other) deals available in stores, info about online toy and baby clothes sales, and links to valuable coupons and other deals. This blog is updated frequently, and provides tips on how to get the most for your dollar when buying for babies. If you have kids but not a boatload of money, you’ll love this blog.
