2. SuperCook How many times have you heard the phrase “We have nothing to eat in this house!” Too many to count? This website helps you use the ingredients you already have in your pantry to make a delicious meal!
3. Honey This website may be my new favorite. How long do you typically spend looking for a coupon to add to your online order? I am always looking for a deal! Honey is an application that you add to your web browser that automatically looks for coupons for you! You no longer have to search!
- First you must install Honey:

- See the graph for the price history for the past years…

5. Get Human. This website tells you all the shortcuts you need to get a hold of a person when you are calling customer service. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve screamed in the phone “REPRESENTITIVE!”. I hate talking to the computer!
- This is really great…it tells you exactly which numbers to press to reach a real person. You can also add your name to a call list so you don’t have to wait at all!
6. A Good Movie to Watch This is a great resource when you are in the mood for a movie but don’t know what you want to see. It’s also really great if you are a big movie watcher and have seen most of what is on TV. This website offers highly rated, little known movies.
- The coolest aspect of this website is that you can pick a “mood” and see a list of movies that will match that mood!
7. Khan Academy Over 1200 video lessons covering everything from basic arithmetic and algebra to differential equations, physics, chemistry, biology and finance. Lots of educational material to help you learn new skills.
