This article, CyberMonday Gifts That Can Pay For Themselves?, led to this article, 25 Gadgets That Actually Save Money.

In these articles I do have the following.

1. Ooma
2. Slow Cooker
   • not saving any money with it
3. Battery Charger
   • use with the amazing Sanyo Eneloop NiMH batteries that you can pre-charge
4. Blender
   • again not saving any money with this one
5. Flash Drive
   • again no money saved here
6. Solar Calculator
   • discarded by someone else, not saving any money since I always my computer for calculations
7. CFL’s
   • questionable if worth it considering the toxic mercury dust inside each bulb
8. Programmable Thermostat
9. Efficient Space Heater
10. Laptop
11. Hybrid Car

Things I might buy.

1. “Smart” Power Strips
   • seems liks a good idea though I usually manually turn off everything so I think it will take a long time before I get my investment back
2. Kill-a-Watt
3. Efficient Shower Heads
4. High Efficiency Washing Machine

Things I would like to buy.
