The three of us spend about 90% of our online time doing something related to shopping: shopping for ourselves, looking for coupons, reading feedback from other shoppers, etc. So it was natural to decide that the theme of our podcasts would be online shopping. Specifically, we will be talking about where women are shopping (because we are women and because the majority of our sites are focused on women). online shopping, reviews, gift ideas, discounts She Shops Around She Shops Around sheshopsaround@meyertechllc.com no no She Shops Around 23: Save on Summer http://www.sheshopsaround.com/2010/07/13/she-shops-around-23-save-on-summer/ http://www.sheshopsaround.com/2010/07/13/she-shops-around-23-save-on-summer/#comments Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:03:27 +0000 admin http://www.sheshopsaround.com/?p=77
Summer is in full swing now and most of us are looking to save money. Cindy and I talked today in our podcast about ways to save whether you are staying at home or traveling. All of the merchants that we talked about are available for cash back or rewards of some kind at Sunshine Rewards. Also be sure to check for coupons and discounts.

Show Notes:

* Travel and Entertainment: Some great ways to save money while staying at home include Entertainment Books and Restaurant.com. If you are trying to work in some inexpensive trips, check out Go Cards from Smart Destinations and Priceline for flexible plans ($12 rental cars!).
* Outdoor Fun: Have a pool? We like In the Swim and PoolProducts.com for our chemicals. Swimsuitsforall.com is a great place for a variety of swimsuits at good prices. Stock up on suntan lotion online so you don’t get stuck paying high prices for it at the grocery store or amusement park.
* Membership Clubs: Netflix and Blockbuster are obvious, but have you heard about BookSwim? It’s a fun way to read a lot of new books for one low monthly price. Gamers should check out GameFly. If you’re into audiobooks, Audible is a good option.

It’s summer travel time, and who doesn’t love a good bargain? This week we reviewed three different sites that we think of most when we think of travel. We managed to just barely stay within our new 30 minute timeframe! Thanks to all of our forum members for the feedback on that.

Show Notes:

* For some reason I had a case of the “ums” this week. Maybe we should give a prize for whoever counts them all. I think I was distracted by all of the Michael Jackson coverage.
* Angie reviewed our first merchant, Expedia. Are you one of those people who always sings “dot.com” after you say the word “Expedia”? We spent some time talking about the different features of their site including last minute deals and their price guarantees. (SR offers variable rates on completed reservations)
* Tricia gushed about how the Hilton Hotels are her favorite chain. Whether you are looking to book a quick overnight while on the road or a fancy getaway (or a trip to Affiliate Summit!), there is a Hilton hotel that will work for you. And Hilton Honors is one of the best point programs out there. They don’t feature coupons per se, but they do list specials and packages on their site. (SR offers 2% back on completed reservations)
* Cindy took a different route (no pun intended) and reviewed Irv’s Luggage. Whether you are looking for a full set of luggage, a laptop bag, or even travel gifts, Irv’s has some great deals. (SR offers 6% back on purchases plus a number of Irv’s Luggage coupons)
* Announced the winner of last week’s contest and our new contest to win a Sunshine Rewards luggage tag (which is really cool).

Next episode: Back to School. Can it be so soon?
