Nintendo DS Wifi Max & Browser

Over the weekend I had ordered the Nintendo DS Wifi Max from eBay and the Browser from Best Buy. Just yesterday the Wifi Max was shipped (or at least notified of pending shipment) and the Browser was shipped today (or notified of pending shipment). The Nintendo DS Browser was on backorder at Best Buy because of the amount of people who ordered it. But, lucky me, mine is on it’s way! Hopefully I’ll receive them both on the same day (Friday maybe, please?)

After testing them both out, I will review both of them.

Rechargeable Batteries

I wish I knew about Low Cost Batteries a lot sooner! With a toddler who has so many toys that require batteries, it gets very expensive, especially when some of the toys require Cs or Ds and stores don’t seem to sell the rechargeable ones.

Besides my son, who needs lots of batteries for his toys, I needed a battery for my laptop a while back and ended up purchasing one through eBay. I’m not sure if it was the battery or the laptop, but it doesn’t hold a charge at all! So, I was a little disappointed. Now, if I knew about Low Cost Batteries at the time, I could have looked through their laptop batteries.

I haven’t compared the prices of Low Cost Batteries to other stores, but I don’t expect rechargeable batteries to be cheap because they are reusable again and again! Therefore, you get your money’s worth!

Low Cost Batteries are going into my Favorites, because with another baby now, I will need more batteries!

Looking for the Right Gadget?

If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time searching for reviews on some new gadget. I don’t like buying things without knowing what others’ opinions are about the product. Of course, sometimes you just have to buy it and find out for yourself.

Testfreaks is a website that will be launching soon to help people find the right product they want. Looking for cell phone reviews? I can’t wait until the Laptops/Notebooks section is available, because I’m always looking for nice ones. I would like to be able to replace the one I have because it just isn’t up to running Windows anymore.

Professional Icons

I have come across many websites offering icons, but usually they are very, very expensive. It is really nice to be able to customize your website with high quality, nice looking icons, or even your application. Icons can make anything look really good if you use them correctly and are able to use high quality ones. People will “ooh and ahh” over your icons!

Free Shipping for Glasses

I really need to start finding another place to purchase my glasses from. LensCrafters is way too expensive. I end up spending around $300-400 because I need special things done to the lenses and want nice looking frames.

Optics Planet has a lot of eyeglasses and sunglasses to choose from. They even offer free shipping. They really do have a great selection. The only thing I would worry about for me is not being able to try them on before ordering. With all my glasses, I’ve taken a long time trying the frames on to find the perfect one. But, with their return policy, within 30 days, I could send it back if I’m not completely happy and exchange it if I want to.
