because we live in such an out of the way area, to go to a big store or somewhere with specific stuff, means we have to spend a lot of time in the car, and a lot of gas to get there. after we got our bank accounts figured out and paypal going, mom and i have become a bit addicted to shopping online. its easy and convenient and even though we have to wait on the item to get to us in the mail, it saves us the trip and gas money.

i found a very cool site that has helped us find stuff more easily on the web. ShopWiki allows you to search every store website from one easy location with just a simple search term. its set up like a wiki, so if you know how to use those (and they are super simple to use) then you will have no trouble with this site. and you don’t have to worry about it being just for the US either, they have sites for the UK, Australia, and a few other european countries.

not sure what to buy? shopwiki has buying guides to help you decide on the right product for you! and since its just a search engine, and not an actual shop, you have nothing to lose, and can pick shops on the search results that you are familiar with and feel you can trust with your money and information.

we’ve been trying this site for a little while now and found quite a few items that we plan to save up for. did you find anything cool when you searched? let me know in the comments
