At the end of the day, the headline price sets a shopper’s experience, so sticking to that price it pretty important. The last RyanAir ticket I bough had almost double in price by the time they added charges for luggage, web checkin and administration charges.If I paid a fixed price for my ticket, I would have been happy to be told the full price up front, it would make me feel better at the end once I had submitted my credit card.

Ever since the twins were born, we have been shopping more online. It’s just that we don’t have the time to go browse the shops and the fact that Tesco deliver to our doorstep is a godsend. Whenever we’ve popped out with the twins we spend half our time negotiating other shoppers and the other half stopping so people can ogle the twins (they are the cutest thing you’ve ever seen). Anyway, you can get whatever you want online, gadgets from eBay, anti aging product from Boots and all our groceries from Tesco. And they all get delivered to our doorstep.

Isn’t the Internet great?

The upcoming Smart Memory Bra by Lisca lingerie senses a woman`s arousal through her body`s heat, then squeezes her boobs together accordingly. We ask, does a pushup bra really need an off switch?

The integrated memory foam bra reshapes under the influence of heat to enhance cleavage, making a woman more desirable when she`d like to be desirable. Or, you know, when she`s just a little sweaty.

They then describe an interesting scenario where the plan can backfire ending up with everyone at the party fighting over each other and hanging from the ceiling fans. It will be interesting to see if this makes it to market. At least it’s a better idea than the Husband Hunting Bra …

When I pointed my wife at the site she said “Cool, they sell Tote Bags for only $5″. I guess that’s a good thing, but I’m not quite sure what a Tote bag is, so I’ll leave it with the female readers of my blog to peruse the site further. Enjoy!

To be perfectly honest, I don’t usually go around browsing around beauty or fashion websites, but I guess they are as valid to their users as any website I visit is to me. What struck me however, was the use of the same social media premises you see in existing successful websites being applied to this segment. I thing the main points that caught my eye were the sections about Tips that users shared with one another, photo galleries where members can upload photos, and the Q&A section where users can ask questions about problems they have had and get answers from other members.

If you think this is the sort of website you’d be interested in, just go ahead and check it out

Anyway, the videos inspired me to make my own. It’s not as slick as some of the others I’ve seen on YouTube, but check it anyway:

If you want to find out why Buy.com rocks, pop down to Buy.com and check them out! Heh, maybe I should see if they will ship a higher quality webcam and microphone to the Isle of Man, so I can record a better video next time!

The site has a bunch of other sections, including a blog, a section on car loans and car insurance as well as the usual sections to buy and sell cars. If you’re looking to buy a second hand car, there’s also a section that lets you check if there’s any outstanding finance on a car, whether it’s a stolen car, or whether it’s ever been written off. It’s not free, but can save you lots of money in the long run.

It will be a pity to get of the BMW. It’s been a great car, the performance is impressive and I love it’s presonalised numberplate. Unfortunately it’s a sports model and having a 2-door car is a pain with an infant. So we’ve bought a Jaguar S-type instead which has 4 doors and is so much better for getting Arthur in and out.

One interesting dynamic of shopping online is that you usually get find coupons that help you save money on your shopping. There are quite a few places that let you find free stuff and printable coupons and one that’s pretty good for US based coupons is Deal Locker. So, for example, if you’re buying a laptop from Dell, you can find coupons that give you 15% off docks and stand, or 15% off batteries, power adapters and surge protectors. They literally have hundreds of coupons on the website, so it’s always worth checking them out.

There are a host of ones for the UK market also, but I’m lucky this month. Tesco have sent me a bunch of coupons to use, so I’m making my way through them, and getting extra points on all my shopping. How cool is that?

Cool huh?

One thing that looks interesting is the GHD IV styler. Every girl needs a styler, doesn’t she? They have one in pink and I’m sure she’ll like something like that. The good thing is there’s still quite a bit of time before Xmas, so still loads of time to change my mind.
