Another one of those designer sale websites, but this time from Amazon. Because it is run by Amazon, the customer service is amazing. You can return most things (even a 1K wedding dress) for a flat rate of about $4. Shipping to you is free. They also refund you back to your credit card (Gilt only gives you credit back). Finally, I have noticed that their sales tend to run slightly cheaper than other sites, like Gilt (for the same exact items).

One last thing. Gilt has created these fake designer brands to make you think that you are getting huge savings, but you can't really compare because they don't exist outside of Gilt. I have never seen myhabit pull that kind of stunt.

You get 5 stars!

While I am sure that there are a lot of perverts and weirdos out there, I think if you use common sense (such as meeting for the first time in a public place, during the day, and letting someone else know where you are going to be), match.com can be a great place to meet new people. I have only interacted with genuine people on the site and never got "fake winks." For new members, search for a discount code before joining. I think I paid $15 a month for a 3 month subscription. I didn't meet anyone on the site, but I also encouraged my best friend to join and she is dating the person from the first date she went on! They are very cute together.

I wanted to buy my husband an Ostrich neck pillow (google it if you don't know what it is!). The stores did not have it, but they do online. Free shipping on > $50 is great. You can also return to a local store. The only downside is many of the coupons can only be redeemed in store - I always use the coupons for 20% off!

This is a great tool if you have questions about your medical diagnosis and/or treatment and you want a second opinion from an expert from a leading around the country. They can also help set up a local office visit for an in person second opinion. This service may be offered through your company as a benefit, because to pay out of pocket can be expensive.

I fine the Chase website very easy to use. I have the Chase Blue Sapphire card and it has pretty good rewards: 2% on restaurants and travel and 1% on everything else. No foreign transaction fee. Its also a cool card in its self!

Agreed - this used to be a guilty daily pleasure, reading about celebrity gossip. The writer (or writers?) have some pretty funny comments. Warning: a lot of it is not appropriate for work!

I first heard about fitforlife by buying a daily deal for it (they always have one running). They have several sites in the Bay Area, I go to Foster City. I like the instructors. They are fun and motivating. It can get kind of expensive, but I guess you are paying for the motivation!

Similar to all of the other deal sites. But, I like how livingsocial offers up to 20% discounts from time to time. If you are patient, just wait for a deal to come up before purchasing the deal!

It's the website the realtors tell you to look at to get the best ratings for schools. Helpful when you are figuring out where to buy/rent a home.

Love their clothes. Well fitted and cute for young professionals.

This site often has a groupon and you just cannot beat the price - $60 for two 16x20 prints. Shipping was included. The prints looked fine (might not be the best, but I don't have anything to compare).

Another flash travel deal site. The deals seem pretty good. But, you must act fast because a lot of times they will sell out quickly.

I use this mainly for airfares. It is usually my starting place to compare different airlines. The only down side is that it does not capture ALL airlines, most notably, Southwest does not come up. That's why it gets only 4 stars.

Its very similar to many of the other travel sites. I think it because they often offer deals I cannot get else where. For instance, I booked a room in Cabo and they gave me $50 off. Pretty good!

I haven't used this site to purchase a place, but I am very impressed with how quickly the information is updated when the house is sold. It's the first place to list the selling price and date.

Great way to create documents that are stored on the "cloud" and that allows collaboration with multiple people. It doesn't allow you to do everything that Microsoft Office does, but its free!

Easy way to send out invitations and keep track of the RSVPs. Cute designs.

Easy way to poll a large group of people. Website is easy to use and free (for the most basic polls).

I have never had a bad experience with BOA. I like how their banks and ATMs are ubiquitous (at least where I live in the Bay Area). Whenever I have gone in to speak to a representative they have always been very nice!

It's an off shoot of Gilt.com. It is more geared towards experiences, like Groupon, but trying to appeal to a more "refined" clientele. I have liked some of the things I have bought, but there is a strict NO REFUND policy. That kind of stinks!
