Freshdeals.com.....A Fresh Approach to Meet your Online Shopping Needs

As someone who frequently shops online I am always looking for the best price on the items that I want. I like to use comparison sites to make that task easier, but often find that they are cumbersome to use, out-of-date, or so full of ads and pop-ups that they freeze my computer.

I was recently informed of a new site that promises this: ( from the website)

"Fresh Deals is a refreshing new way for shoppers to find and share the latest online deals. We've spruced up your average shopping experience by offering a mix of fresh features including intuitive search and our thriving Questions & Answers community. Shoppers often have questions regarding the products they want to buy, but product reviews don't always have the answers. Our community of experts can answer a wide range of product questions, strengthening consumer confidence when it comes time to purchase. Never settle for stale shopping again. Start fresh. Shop Fresh Deals."

Highlights of the site include a " Freshest Deal" which highlights a specific item, a Q & A section where you can both ask and answer questions from other users about specific items, and a Deals area which has codes and promotions for a variety of retail sites.

One feature that I really like is the " Freshness" rating of the users who ask and answer questions. It gives me an idea of how much the person actually uses the site and helps me have confidence in what they are suggesting.

Overall, I think this is a good site to bookmark when shopping online. It might help to scan the forums or even post a question before you buy to assist you in making the right product or feature choice.

Let me know if you try it and what deals or advice you encounter!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Two years ago one of my best friends, Lisa, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I held her hand through the initial diagnosis, the surgery, the chemo, and the radiation. I watched her shave off her luxurious golden blonde long hair rather then find clumps on her pillow. I saw her too weak to stand and too sick to her stomach to eat.

She is a survivor, and thus far, cancer free. I strongly support any products that educate and reinforce the need to raise awareness about this devastating illness.

One such product that I strongly support is the Masterlock 1-9/16 inch wide covered pink padlock with a matching pink key. It displays the Breast Cancer Ribbon in silver on the front of the lock. The most important thing is that Masterlock is also donating $15,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The following is directly from the PR Firm which is handling this promotion.






MASTER LOCK SUPPORTS THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER WITH PINK PADLOCK

MILWAUKEE (September 15, 2008) – In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Master Lock, the industry leader in locks and security products, is offering a specially designed pink padlock to raise awareness for breast cancer detection and prevention. Committed to helping people achieve peace of mind by locking up their valuables, the company is also helping to unlock a cure for breast cancer by supporting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® with a $10,000 donation.

“Nearly everyone has been affected by breast cancer in some way, considering the staggering statistic that one woman is diagnosed every three minutes in the United States1,” said John Heppner, president and CEO of Fortune Brands Storage and Security, which includes Master Lock. “By offering the pink padlock, Master Lock continues the company’s tradition of providing innovative security solutions, while helping to keep breast cancer top-of-mind among an important group of consumers who can make a difference in the fight against this terrible disease.”

The pink padlock is available at select mass retailers nationwide, as well as online at www.amazon.com. Each 40-millimeter pink padlock comes with a matching key and is emblazoned with a pink awareness ribbon, the universal symbol of breast health awareness. The suggested retail price is $5.49 for a single-pack and $9.50 for a two-pack.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is dedicated to preventing breast cancer and finding a cure in our lifetime by funding clinical and genetic research worldwide. For more information about BCRF, visit www.bcrfcure.org or call 1.866.FIND.A.CURE.
