Do you shop on the web? Are you one of those people who have a bazillion windows open, logged into all the different stores out there, trying to find the best deal; spending hours browsing, even when it saves you only a couple of bucks? I am one of you ...

Came across some help today: Froogle, the sister of the popular search engine Google, but entirely dedicated to shopping! Everything from books and CDs to electronics to car tires to Viagra. Even though the site's not perfect (and still a beta version), it's a tool that can save you some leg (pardon: click) work. Categories and price brackets help to limit your searches. Also it's better to use the 'advanced search' interface. Downside: listings are usually incomplete, and you can't sort the results, e.g. by price.
