Dorco | http://www.dorcousa.com | Stop getting ripped off buying $5 Gillette Fusion ProGlide blades. I
have been using Dorco blades for a while now and really like them. They
have 2,3,4 or 6 blade options. Free shipping if you
stock up and get to $25. Look for 20% off codes on their twitter feed or
use 15REVISIT for 15% off. [7/18/14] If that code isn't working try ReturnT15 (should also be 15% off.) [6/18/15] |

Double Cash | http://www.citicards.com/DoubleCash | This credit card is hard to beat. Two percent back on everything, none of that rotating category stuff. No annual fee and a bunch of extras (warranty extension, price protection, etc.) Only negative is that it has a 3% foreign transaction fee. If you travel a lot the Capital One Quicksilver card (1.5% cash back, no foreign trans. fee) might be a better fit. [9/28/15] |

Changemon | https://changemon.com | This site is a free change monitoring service. You pick some text that you wish to monitor on a specific page and it will email you when it changes. This site could really fit under the "Save Time" or the "Save Money" sections but I put it here because I use it for price & stock alerts.
