Lifetime Garmin GPS Updates

2011-08-21T13:04:00.000-04:00

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-n%C3%BCMaps-Lifetime-America-Updates/dp/B001PKTFM8 for $72.16 is quite a deal to prolong the life of any recent Garmin GPS. 4 updates per year! Very helpful if you travel in areas where there are new off-ramps (DC beltway) and new areas for shopping (NC).

However, I must admit the GPS in my Sprint Samsung Epic smartphone is really fast at finding satellites and also gives me reviews of what I am travelling to, etc.
Android phones' use of Google maps is great.
So, my wife runs the GPS and I leave my phone connected to the input of the car radio so I can play all the fun radio streams on Iheartradio while travelling.

Inexpensive batteries

2011-02-02T21:42:00.000-05:00

eBay is the place to get any of those pricey batteries. Buy from a high-rated seller, typically in Asia, with free or very low-priced bargain shipping. I have used eBay merchants to get batteries for: digital camera, garage door opener, watches, meat thermometers, blood pressure monitor, UPS power supplies, etc. at incredible savings. Usually it's a 2-week wait on shipping.

Quality Eyeglasses, about 80% off

2010-03-14T11:38:00.001-04:00

Zenni Optical is a real money-saver. Two pair of all pure titanium frame progressive glasses just arrived in a 6 oz. padded envelope, for less than $119 delivered, total. Great quality.

Ordered on March 1, shipped on March 11 from CA, arrived on March 13. I suspect they bulk-ship from China to San Rafael, CA

My wireless LAN is now about 12X faster and 4X the range. I'm still able to keep my existing router by adding a FASTER wireless access point (AP) to it: TrendNet TEW-637AP and a Wireless N card to the PC from Belkin.

Two pieces of hardware & very easy to set-up.

NWT = new clothes, cheap

2009-12-20T15:35:00.004-05:00

Clothing on eBay that has never been worn and still has tags attached typically has the acronym NWT in its description.

So, for slacks I have a stored search that eBay emails me whenever an item that matches:

38x30 Haggar NWT

is listed! Incredible savings.

Battery Bargains

2009-12-20T15:32:00.006-05:00

I get all my specialty batteries (phone and camera, etc.), cell phone chargers, GPS chargers, cases, etc. from eBay. The well-rated sellers in Hong Kong really ship quite fast and their prices are very low.

I still buy the usual AA, AAA and 9V ones at local Dollar Store.

Rechargeables vary so much in quality, so I stick with the brands names sold at Costco.
