I had forgotten about Consumer Reports, and it is a terrific resource. So glad you mentioned it!Valerie Deneenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066972931053719521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-23666178348485264422009-01-04T23:05:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:05:00.000-05:00I think a subscription to Consumer Reports would be great, too. I like to know the quality of the item I'm looking to buy, and often they point out that the better products cost less! I also think it's thrifty to not have to replace items because the one I bought broke, so Consumer Reports gives me a little more peace of mind in that arena.Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14176612881975170987noreply@blogger.com
