New Product Tuesday with Ageless Male

January 3, 2012 – 10:27 am by Savvy Shopper

If you’re a middle aged man with reduced energy and sex drive, your interest may have been piqued recently by “Is It Low T” commercials advertising a topical testosterone gel available through prescription only. Those commercials don’t tell you about potential scary side effects. But there are alternatives to prescription testosterone therapy. Ageless Male is a dietary supplement which claims to boost testosterone levels by up to 61% using a proprietary herbal blend of saw palmetto and astaxanthin. This supplement is endorsed by 56-year-old neurosurgeon Dr. Jacob Rosenstein, who credits Ageless Male for his transformation from blubbery schlub to hunky stud. It’s unclear why a spinal surgeon is an expert in hormone replacement therapy, but your Savvy Shopper is the same age as Dr. Jake and I’d love  to be that buff. If you’re suffering through andropause, feeling old and decrepit and wondering if you might have Low T, Ageless Male may worth consideration. Here’s where to find out more about Ageless Male.

New Product Tuesday with Push Up Pump

December 20, 2011 – 10:30 am by Savvy Shopper

The push up is the Rodney Dangerfield of exercises. It just doesn’t get any respect. Instead of being valued for its ability to benefit muscle groups throughout the body, it’s often used as sadistic punishment by gym teachers and drill sergeants. The new Push Up Pump exercise machine is on a mission to get the push up the fitness respect it justly deserves.

Push Up Pump aims to supercharge your push up, simultaneously engaging muscles all over your body and achieving an entire core workout in just five minutes a day. Watch the video to see how the three different hand positions provide support and targeted isolation to work your back, shoulders, chest, biceps, arms and calves. Three color-coded resistance cables provide additional resistance as your strength increases. Can Push Up Pump really provide the benefits of a whole room of fitness equipment? Try it for 30 days, risk-free.

New Product Tuesday with Comfortisse Bra

December 13, 2011 – 11:48 am by Savvy Shopper

When you’re shopping for comfortable bras, are more always better? First, the Ahh Bra hit the infomercial airwaves promising breakthrough comfort and support due to its stretchy body form technology and strapless, wireless and hookless design. The Ahh Bra is offered in sets of three for one low price. Women found this pitch convincing, and hundreds of thousands of Ahh Bras have been sold.

Whenever an As Seen on TV product is successful, copycats are likely to follow. Next came the Genie Bra, very similar in design to the Ahh Bra, but offering more bras for the same price. Buy three and get three more free– six Genie Bras for the prices of three Ahh Bras.

Now the bra wars have escalated again with the introduction of the Comfortisse Bra. It looks very similar to its predecessors. But the Comfortisse offer is buy three, get six free. That’s nine bras for around $60 plus shipping. Ladies, do you really need nine bras? That’s more than one for each day of the week.

Has anyone bought or reviewed all three comfort bra contenders? Which is more comfortable and supportive? Are nine Comfortisse Bras really a better value than six Genie Bras or three Ahh Bras? Are Comfortisse really the most comfortable bras you’ll ever wear? If you want to find out, here’s where to order Comfortisse Bras.

New Product Tuesday with Music Bullet

December 6, 2011 – 11:14 am by Savvy Shopper

Public spaces were a little more tuneful back in the 1980s. Sure, some music lovers were listening privately with the new Sony Walkman. But the eighties was also the decade of the boombox. Dedicated music lovers made cassette mixtapes from vinyl singles and LPs, hoisted improbably large and loud portable stereos onto their shoulders, then traveled the urban landscape on foot to lovingly share their favorite music whether you wanted to hear it or not. They spent all their disposable income and overflowed landfills with mounds of the D batteries giant boomboxes consumed eight or ten at a time.

Today, you can share your music with the public without dislocating your shoulder, thanks to the new Music Bullet. It’s a tiny portable speaker you can hold in the palm of your hand. Connect it to the headphone jack on your iPod or smartphone, and you’re ready to blast your latest playlist at volumes that might violate some local noise ordinances. Music Bullet has big sound with kickin’ bass, and it’s rechargeable. And you don’t need to carry it around. Set it down on the sidewalk and dance around it. Bring it inside and liven up that boring city council meeting or public restroom. You don’t need a permit to carry the Music Bullet. Here’s where to order.

New Product Tuesday with Germ Bloc

November 29, 2011 – 11:04 am by Savvy Shopper

My mother was an extreme germophobe. There was no five second rule in our home. If food hit the floor, it went in the trash. Immediately after entering the house, you washed your hands. Touching the garbage can could mean a change of clothes. Mom would have loved Germ Bloc. This wallet-shaped device consists of a polycarbonate plastic shell surrounding a replaceable anti-microbial pad. The idea is to hold Germ Bloc in your hand and use it to grab anything you encounter that might be contaminated with icky germs, like toilet flush handles, door knobs, trash cans and gas pumps. Germ Bloc even comes with an attachable cord reel so you can proudly hang it from your belt or purse and make the bold statement that you’re on the front lines in the war against germs. Here’s where to order Germ Bloc.

New Product Tuesday with Miracle Socks

November 22, 2011 – 8:30 am by Savvy Shopper

Like most people, you probably don’t put socks at the top of your holiday wish list. But if you’re a frequent flyer or artists’ model, you might want to ask Santa to drop a pair or two of Miracle Socks down the chimney this year. Remaining motionless for long periods of time increases your chances of developing dangerous blood clots in the legs, sometimes resulting in heart attack or stroke. Compression stockings like Miracle Socks have been shown to improve circulation and reduce the risk of symptomless blood clots during long flights, or any time you have to sit for long periods. And Miracle Socks look just like regular socks, so no one will know you’re wearing them. Don’t depend on Santa, because he might just keep your Miracle Socks to wear on his upcoming overnight flight. Better buy a couple pair for yourself. It’s a BOGO offer. Here’s where to order Miracle Socks.

New Product Tuesday with Wuggle Pets

November 15, 2011 – 11:31 am by Savvy Shopper

New Product Tuesday with Slushy Magic

November 8, 2011 – 11:27 am by Savvy Shopper

Believe me, your kid wants this. Kids love Slurpees, ICEEs, and Slush Puppies even in the depths of winter, and will demand one every time you’re within 100 yards of a 7-11.

New Product Tuesday with BlanKid Buddy 4-in-1 Plush Animal Toy

November 1, 2011 – 10:02 am by Savvy Shopper

You’re probably familiar with Pillow Pets, stuffed animals which change like Transformers into comfy kid pillows.

Now BlanKid Buddy ups the ante with the first 4-in-1 stuffed toy. What is BlanKid Buddy other than a stuffed animal? Just watch the commercial and listen to the catchy jingle — “It’s a blanket, a backpack and a pillow too!” Now that’s the kind of multitasking functionality today’s kid can really appreciate. Choose Pailou the Panda, Makemba the Monkey or Lula the Ladybug. Here’s where to order BllanKid Buddy with a special BOGO offer (just pay S&H).
