One week of combining all of your shopping trips into a single mapped out trip instead of continually popping out to go to this store or that saves more energy than unplugging all of your "stand-by...

LEDs are much safer than CFLs without the deadly mercury that requires a hazmat suit to dispose of properly if accidental breakage occurs.

The "when everyone buys the player, the media price will drop" argument is a complete falacy. That's what was said when CDs came out in the 80s. It didn't happen. CD prices didn't drop until very l...

I think you must only talk on the phone and never turn on a TV. You can't go an hour on any channel without seeing Verizon's ads about their family plan. One thing to be aware of is sp...

I just get empty frozen chicken boxes from Sam's club. Then I get throw pillows from Ikea ($4) or Walmart (2 for $5 recently) and put them in the box. Presto - cat bed for the price of a cheap thro...

This is not a street name, but a few years ago I bought a container of ice cream. This particular brand (Blue Bell) comes in a variety of colored rims - brown, gold, etc. for each assortment. What ...

It looks like the chair is made of corrugated cardboard as well. My cats would certainly enjoy this furniture!

Who in their right mind would pay over $2500 for this? I can understand if each piece was say $70-$200, but $884 apiece is outrageous. I usually like wood pieces, but I'm not digging t...

I have 3 LACK side tables as my coffee table right now. I can either have 3 in a row in front of the couch or as I have them now, in an L shape with 2 in front of the couch and 2 in front of the ch...
