First of all there’s that pesky ole store lurking at the top of the page…I’m changing out items daily so don’t forget to give it a peek.
We’re always looking for better at less (cost that is) so I thought that I could find you some for today’s blog.
According to ConsumerReports ( good source, non-profit, indepent researchers):
The #Apple iPhone 5s ($200) is a good phone, but the #Samsung Galaxy S 4 ($200) has a superb display and a better battery life.
The #Panasonic Viera TC-L55WT60 (flat-screen $3,000) has a very good picture quality but the #LG55GA7900 ($1,400) has a better picture and sound quality.
#Tylenol ( generic acetaminophen) is great for our stomach but does little or nothing to reduce inflammation, while #Aleve (generic naproxen) might be a better choice for that.
Want a coffeemaker, vacuum or small appliance best choice for price , selection and service of major retailers: #Costco.
To save more than $1,000 on your cell phone bill: Consider #T-Mobile (family of four over 2 years)
Best buy on a vacuum #Kenmore Elite 31140 ($350) performs well and has plenty of airflow through the hose or tools (upright w/a bag) Try ConsumerReports: How to Clean Practically Anything booklet for more.
DON’T use your #debit card at the gas pump—thieves “skim” your pin number and pull cash from your bank account–use your credit card (safer)..
Want more room in your new vehicle CR recommends #Chevrolet Traverse & GMC Acadia for good 3rd row room and the Mazda CX-9 for lot of room everywhere.
To get the most out of your #doctor’s visit (especially when you’re sick) take a friend or relative with you and take notes and make sure you understand the doctor’s instructions.
Best tested car: #Telsa Model S (99/100) and worst Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. (see 2014 Annual Auto Issue)

We’re still checking what you might have gathering dust that can increase the bank account:
This little #pin is selling between $325-350.
While this original #old label which was never displayed on a box is selling for between $25 & $55.
Item gaining value #Halloween and Easter related
And to stay safe online: SR’s recommendation: #Avast was found easy to use while providing protection.
What I’m always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last. —Vivienne Westwood
