Having kids will put anyone in the mindset of looking for a good bargain at anytime of the year, which is why I found this article (The Best Things to Buy in May) from lifehacker.com to be very interesting. It's also why lifehacker happens to be one of my favorite sites to visit.

Some of these tips I already knew, like buying a house (or in our case, selling our house) and thrift items (spring cleaning, of course).


The list includes (spoiler alert!):

• Televisions and other electronics
• Houses
• Cookware and Kitchen Accessories
• Digital Cameras (something I should have done)
• Thrift items
• Vacuum cleaners
• Office Furniture
• Mattresses
• Refrigerators

There is one that they haven't mentioned: Yard sales. If you live in more affluent neighborhoods, you would be surprised on what and how much people sell. I've gotten some new-looking baby supplies and a couple of decent bikes from yard sales.

If only I had seen this article first before I bought my camera, I may have put it off to see if I can get a better deal elsewhere.

Sony, Panasonic, and YouTube

I had a Sony DCR-SX45 and loved it but it had just one shortcoming... Durability. I have six kids and the camera got knocked around a lot. After two years, the camera finally quit. Maybe it was the huge rainstorm that soaked it a year ago. Who knows. As good as a camera that was, I need something a little more durable - and waterproof.

I still would recommend the Sony, as the quality is awesome, to anyone with less than three kids. You can check it out here on Amazon.

That said, I decided to purchase the Panasonic HX-WA03. It will be my first "unboxing" video when it comes in, which brings me to my new YouTube channel. There's not much there yet since I am focusing right now on my "This (not so) Boring Life Channel".

That said, I'll probably start reviewing some gadgets that I've used for a couple of years that are still on the market, like my blender. Some gadgets prove their worth, not out of the box, but a year down the road, after constant, normal use. So the Panasonic may not be my first video review.
