I have a few possessions that I just can’t shut up about. Anytime conversation heads near territory where I can work them in, I start my pitch. I have learned to throw in the caveat, “I probably sound like a commercial right now,” whenever anyone gives me that look. But I just keep going. And I can’t promise I’m ever going to stop. Usually these are things that are not only excellent, but that also save me money. I can’t help it. I’ve been a bargain hunter since, as a toddler, my mother got into a fight with a whole crowd over a coat for me at the bargain basement of a local department store. She won that fight and we emerged, victorious, with a coat I wore with pride. It was awesome. I decided that day that I, too, would spend my life in pursuit of deals. I am not alone. There are swarms of us. These days we usually meet in the Amazon reviews areas. And from that council of sorts, I bring you these 45 things have a fanatical fan base because they save you so much money.
