Ikea

by Erin Steiner April 24th, 2008 | Home Shopping

Today I went to Ikea for the very first time. If I had the time (and the disposable income), I would go back tomorrow and possibly the day after that. Ikea is like Bed Bath and Beyond and Linens & Things but on steroids and with lower prices. Even if you have not been to Ikea, it is highly likely that you have seen one of the catalogues or browsed the website. Maybe it's my "first foray flush", but I can tell you that neither medium holds a candle to the experience of shopping in the store itself.

by TK April 18th, 2008 | Jewelry
Buying an engagement ring can be a very daunting task for most men. For many men, an engagement ring may be one of the largest expenditures that they ever would have as a gift (and maybe only trail a house or a car in total cost).

What is important to her? What makes her feel special? Get out a piece of paper and a pencil, and write down all your thoughts to those questions and let the creative

Don’t Shun the Coats Just Yet…

by Erin Steiner April 12th, 2008 | Fashion Guide

With spring arriving (slowly but surely), you can't walk through a clothing store without being bombarded with bathing suits, summer dresses, and short sleeves. This is great new.  For the bargain shopper, it means that the winter clothing is finally on sale! Spring is to winter clothing as November first is to Halloween candy.


While the fashion savvy among you are probably thinking, "But how can I shop for next winter when I don't know what will be in style?" It's simple: aim for the basics!


Every winter there are a few items of clothing that everybody needs

What Is Your Favorite Grocery Store?

by Michele April 6th, 2008 | Food & Beverages
For many, grocery shopping is a burdensome chore. They go to the closest grocery, get all the items that they need for the week, and cross one activity off the to-do list.

For others, purchasing groceries is a multi-hour excursion. Stop at Store A to get produce because they have the freshest fruits and veggies. Go to Store B, as they are having a special on cereal this week. End at Store B, which though it's the farthest from your house, it has a great deli.
