Remember when online dating was something that only computer nerds who couldn’t get a date any other way did (or so we thought)? Times have surely changed. Today, a growing number of singles are switching on their PCs or laptops instead of heading out to the bar to find potential mates. It makes it quicker and easier to find someone whose interests and goals are similar to yours, and you don’t have to listen to drunk people feed you a bunch of lame pickup lines.

The hardest part about online dating is often finding the right dating site to meet your needs. Here are a few to consider:

• eHarmony is perhaps the most recognizable name in online dating, thanks in part to their catchy TV ads that feature insanely happy couples that met through the service. Check out our eHarmony coupons page to find out how you can save up to 20% on your subscription.
• PerfectMatch.com is another all-purpose dating site that is quite popular. Current PerfectMatch.com deals include buy 2 months, get 2 free and $30 off 3 months plus a free book.
• Gay.com is one of the top gay dating sites on the Web. We’ve got a Gay.com coupon code that will save you up to $15 on your membership.
• If you’re a successful person who wants to spend time with another successful person, check out SugarDaddie.com. This site has been featured on Good Morning America and Dr. Phil. Check our SugarDaddie.com coupons page for current deals.

There’s nothing wrong with saving a few bucks while searching for your soul mate. You can use the extra money to make your first date extra special!

I live in an area where growing Christmas trees is big business. So when I say that I prefer artificial trees, people look at me like I should be flogged.

But it’s true. I’ve been down the real tree route, and I’m not interested in going back. Sure, they’re pretty and they make your house smell like a pine forest. But they’re just so messy! And those of us who are memory challenged have a hard time remembering to water them, which means they don’t look pretty for long. When you have an artificial tree, you don’t have to worry about the needles turning brown and falling off. And you can reuse it for many years to come, so it’s quite cost-effective.

If you are in need of an artificial tree, visit Christmas Trees Galore. They have a wonderful selection of trees that look just like the real thing. And for those who want something a little funkier this holiday season, they have lots of colored trees to choose from, and even upside-down trees. If you need wreaths and garlands, they’ve got you covered there too.

Current deals from Christmas Trees Galore include 10% off orders of $199 or more with coupon code. But the code expires on November 9th, and Christmas will be here before you know it, so now’s the time to start looking for the perfect tree!

Silver jewelry is all the rage these days. And it’s not too hard to see why. It can go with formal wear as well as your favorite jeans and t-shirt, and it’s much less expensive than gold.

Trend to Go has some great silver pieces, including the spooky pendant you see here. But all of their pieces aren’t that hair-raising. They also have some great celebrity-inspired pieces that look much more expensive than they actually are. Where else could you get a leaf pendant that’s nearly identical to Jennifer Aniston’s for under $25? And they even have replicas of celebrities’ wedding and engagement rings.

Trend to Go specializes in sterling silver, stainless steel and cubic zirconium jewelry. They also offer a no questions asked return policy and a lifetime warranty on all of their products. You can’t beat that!

If you’d like to get your hands on some great looking jewelry at a great price, now is the time. If you’ll take a look at our Trend to Go deals page, you’ll find a coupon code for 10% off all skull and skeleton jewelry that’s good through November 2nd. Yes, it’s a little late for Halloween, but wouldn’t that pendant be great to have for next year, or to wear any time you want to look tough? Sure it would! And they’ve got plenty of other skull and skeleton items to choose from too. Pop on over there and see for yourself!

In today’s fast-paced, technologically advanced world, there’s something to be said for sitting down and enjoying a good book. It’s great that you can get paper-free publications in the form of ebooks on your computer or Kindle, but many readers still prefer to have a physical copy of their favorite books. They like the feel of a book in their hands, the smell of the pages, and the ability to highlight and dog-ear favorite passages.

That’s not to say that book lovers don’t like computers. Most like them very much, especially since they can order their favorite books online. They can preorder hotly anticipated upcoming releases so that they don’t have to worry about them selling out before they get their copy. And they can also find some pretty sweet deals on the books they love. Here are a few good sites to look for such deals:

• Books-A-Million has an amazing selection of books of all kinds. They also have a discount club that allows members to save 10% off their already low prices. Be sure to check out our Books-A-Million deals before you shop – right now you can get free shipping on all orders over $25.
• Indigo Books and Music sells new and used books, and their outlet section features some unbelievable deals. Visit our Indigo Books and Music coupons page to see how you can get up to 50% off on some of the hottest products.
• If you like to read but aren’t interested in building up a book collection, then BookSwim is perfect for you. They offer a service similar to that of Netflix, only with books instead of DVDs. Current deals from BookSwim include a free Restaurant.com gift card with rental.

For something that’s made from natural materials, paper just isn’t very environmentally friendly. Millions of trees are cut down to make the kinds of paper that most of us use each year. Paper made from wood is recyclable, but only a small portion of the paper that we use actually makes it to the recycling plant.

For those who need to use paper but would like to have less of a negative impact on the environment, Ecopaper produces some interesting alternatives. They make paper out of post-consumer waste and agricultural waste materials produced from various farming industries. This paper makes use of materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. The end results are tree free and acid free notebooks, printing paper, envelopes and card stock.

Ecopaper is reasonably priced compared to many types of recycled paper, and they have a clearance section where you can save even more money off their already low prices. Coupon Trunk visitors can also take advantage of an exclusive coupon code that will save them 20% on their order. Just visit our Ecopaper coupons page for a link and the code, which is good now through the end of January 2010.

Most accessories are for looks only. But a handbag is something that many women just can’t live without. After all, you’ve got to have some place to put your wallet, cell phone, keys and other necessities. Right?

Whether you’re going out for a night on the town or just headed out to work, a stylish handbag has a way of making a great outfit look even better. But those stylish bags don’t always come cheap. So when you find a great sale on them, it’s not a bad idea to stock up.

Here’s a sale you won’t want to miss if you’re always on the lookout for a great handbag. BagHaus, which has unbelievable prices on brands such as Steve Madden, Bodhi and Roxbury, has a huge event going on this weekend. All of their handbags are marked down at least 20% (and some more than that) now through Sunday at midnight.

If you can’t shop now, be sure to visit our BagHaus deals page for a link to their Stupid Deal of the Week. Each week they feature one or more of their bags at a discount of 50% or more. With deals like these, you could build up quite an impressive handbag collection in no time!

Windows 7, the long-awaited sequel to Windows Vista, has been receiving rave reviews throughout its beta and RC stages. Tomorrow, the full version will finally become available to the masses.

I had the privilege of getting a copy of the OS a couple of weeks in advance, compliments of the fine folks at House Party. And I can honestly say that it is truly spectacular! It’s enough like Vista that it won’t leave you scratching your head wondering what to do, yet it has some awesome new features that you’ll wonder how you ever lived without. My personal favorite is called Snap, which allows you to resize a window to fill half of your screen just by dragging it to the side you want it to appear on. So simple, yet so useful when you need to see two windows side by side.

Perhaps you’re wondering where you can get a copy (if you haven’t already pre-ordered). How about the Microsoft online store? If you take a look at our Microsoft coupons page, you’ll find a coupon code that could save you some money, but only if you pre-order by midnight tonight.

CompUSA is also selling Windows 7, and they have a section full of helpful information for those who are considering upgrading, building a new PC with it, or buying a machine that runs it. Just visit their site and type “Windows 7″ in the search box, and you’ll be instantly taken there. And don’t forget to check out our CompUSA deals before you go!

Windows 7 is everything Vista should have been, and much more. But don’t take my word for it. Get your own copy and see for yourself!
