Oddly enough I’ve always had a tough time finding good basic clothing (t-shirts, track pants, work shirts, fleece shorts, socks, underwear) at discount department stores like Winners (in Canada) and TJ Maxx.
eBay is a great place to get basics because sizes aren’t a big issue with this type of clothing. It’s also great for men (like myself) who aren’t wild about shopping at the mall. You can save a lot of money and get apparel sent right to your door. As an example I recently got some Adidas track pants (brand new with tags) for half the retail price. I had to pay a bit of shipping but in the end I still saved around 35% off the retail price!
Use the box below to look for deals on apparel. Alternatively, you can also search the site for typos (to find even better, hidden deals) with TypoHound.
Much Music is currently giving away tickets to see the band Social Code for their Canadian tour. The last date is on November 24 in Thunder Bay, so hurry up and enter.
Social Code is a Canadian alternative/punk rock group from St. Albert, Alberta. The band, formerly known as Fifth Season, met in high school and formed in the late 1990’s. The group proved to be popular with the local crowd, often performing to packed houses. After releasing the EP ‘Binbox’ in 1999 and the full length album ‘Patiently Waiting’ in 2001, the group finally got signed to a major label.

Toolbarbox.com is a great new site that has editorial reviews of practically every toolbar worth downloading and many that aren’t. Toolbars can be really handy but are just as often more burdensome than useful or bundled with annoying spyware. Toolbarbox.com saves you from dealing with the mishaps of spyware, data mining and plucks the plums for you.
Here’s a little excerpt from the home page. Isn’t this the truth!
Considering the recent popularity of toolbars, I was suprised that I couldn’t find one site dedicated to the subject of toolbars alone. Even the search engines and software companies that develop toolbars don’t usually tell you much about their product.

Behold your future—Xbox 360 has the power!
By now you’ve already heard how Xbox 360 puts you at the center of the most powerful games on the planet—hence the “360,” as in 360 degrees (geometry students will recognize that as the number of degrees in a circle). To accomplish this feat, Microsoft® has brought together a full circle of powerful factors such as a custom-designed central processing unit (CPU) that runs at a breakneck speed, thanks to its three separate core processors that clock in at 3.2 GHz each.

Killer deals can to be had on eBay by looking for common mistakes sellers make. For example, someone might put an item in the wrong category or leave a typo in the listing title. If there’s a typo in the title, it might be much tougher to find it with the search feature. Since no one can find the listing, they can’t bid. This vastly lowers the amount of interest in the auction (and competition). As a result it’s not unusual to pay half the price you usually would!
You can find auctions with typos in them automatically with this handy eBay Bargain Finder called Typo Hound. It was featured on Yahoo’s THE 9 as the number 7 cool site of the day for July 27, 2006 (see screenshot with host Maria Sansone).
Type something into the search field to give it a test run. You’ll be amazed by the interesting auctions you’ll find. Have fun!
