Getting from here to there without destroying the planet
So, my husband and I are newer to our area, and part of my job is to drive to peoples' homes. I have a pretty terrible sense of direction, so I always have to print out from Google maps. This week I went to 4 homes, which means 4 maps. I realized how wasteful that was, and since I am a gadget geek, I immediately realized my next big purchase: GPS! No papers to print ever! I researched and found one that I like a lot and is relatively inexpensive: Garmin nuvi 200. It retails for $199 at Best Buy (or Worst Buy, if you are a stickler for customer service), but checking my local Target ad (online, of course!) I see that Target has it for $149 this week! Score!

You probably already bought it, but something to keep in mind is checking Freecycle, eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook's Marketplace section for things you're looking for. That way, someone doesn't have to throw something out, and you get something in good condition for just a little cheaper.
I also recently bought a GPS. I got the Garmin nuvi 260, a step above the 200. I got it for $220 or $230 on sale at Best Buy. I love it - no more printing out directions or scraps of paper around my car with directions! And let me tell you, there were LOTS of them since I travel frequently for Jaycees!
