With Roaste, you are able to buy coffee online without the hassle of driving to a specialty store, then spending hours searching for your favorite coffee blends.

The coffee brands at Roaste are typically available in whole beans, ground, regular and decaf. Many are also available in pods.  One coffee brand that I found intriguing (and available at Roaste) is Essse coffee.  Essse coffee has been serviced in 5 star restaurants for years, but now it is available for home delivery.  I might have to try Essse coffee, as it really does sound heavenly.

Make sure you check out Roaste for other coffee items, such as coffee makers, espresso machines and coffee accessories.  They are having a deal right now where if you buy a coffee machine, you get $50 worth of coffee for free!  It’s a great time to finally make that coffee maker purchase.

I found the Roaste website very easy to navigate – the coffees are broken down into sections, and it is easy to find just what you are looking for. For instance, clicking on coffee will let you choose by certification, roast, geographical region, price, etc. Of course while looking around I found several coffees I wouldn’t mind trying

Roaste also includes a coffee community where fans of coffee can communicate and share their knowledge and experience. It features coffee news, recipes and other relevant articles. I think this sounds like a pretty fun place to congregate, over a cup of coffee of course!

If you’ll pardon me now, I must go refill my mug.  Cheers!

Cooking.com has always been one of my favorite places to shop for kitchen items. They have a huge selection of pots and pans, dish ware sets, cookbooks, coffee…you name it, chances are they have it!

I love to shop for dishes.  When we retire, I am going to buy all new place settings and I dream of a very colorful kitchen.  I will definitely be stocking my kitchen with Fiesta dishes.

The colors above are just two of MANY. Cooking.com has a wonderful selection of 4-piece and 5-piece Fiesta sets in colors such as Cinnabar and Sunflower (shown above), Scarlet, Plum, Colbalt Blue and more.  Their prices are pretty fabulous too – the suggested retail price of Fiesta is $48 per set, but at Cooking.com the price is only $28.95.  That is a huge savings!

For my glassware, I might go with the Bubble Glass Tumblers. I love how colorful they are, and the perfect size for our needs.

For parties and entertaining, I just might have to buy a set of these Stainless Steel Margarita Glasses ($23.95/set):

With name brands such as Pfaltzgraff, Kitchenaid, Calphalon and others, you should have no problem finding exactly what you need for your kitchen and home. Cooking.com is a great place to shop for gifts too!

How would you like to experience Cooking.com for yourself?

I’ll bet you have heard of Restaurant.com, but did you know that Restaurant.com has new California discount dining guides for San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Riverside-San Bernardino? I am especially excited about this since I am in the SF area. I also travel quite a bit, so next time before I leave for a trip, I am going to search the area I am going to and see if I can use Restaurant.com gift cards there. Smart, right?  I will be attending BlogHer ’11 in San Diego in a couple of months, and now that there is a new Restaurant.com discount dining guide for San Diego, I am all set.  These gift cards never expire either…one more reason to stock up!

Restaurant.com is a place to find new restaurants, get dining tips and fun, plus save at least 60% on dining out at restaurants every day in your local area!

With Father’s Day quickly approaching, these would be a fabulous gift idea. Plus, maybe he will take you out to dinner. Just a little hint there

Restaurant.com serves as the community matchmaker, introducing great restaurants to great people. From appetizers to dessert, from wine to dinner, Restaurant.com helps restaurant owners promote the new and unique aspects of their restaurants while providing diners with great value in a fun, new and cost effective way. Your favorite restaurant is in your neighborhood – maybe you just don’t know it yet. Restaurant.com is here to help.

I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Restaurant.com yet, but will be shortly! If you are unsure how it works, here is a brief description:

Just use our search to find a restaurant. Many of our participating restaurants have different offers, so pick the place that suits you best. We provide handy descriptions and even menus to help you decide. Follow the instructions for purchasing a gift certificate and print it out. In minutes you’re all set for a night out for less!

At Restaurant.com, there are several pricing options.  You pay only $10 for $25 gift cards, $20 for $50 gift cards, etc.  I think that is pretty neat, and a huge savings – especially if you dine out a lot like we do. There are a few conditions on the deals, for instance, there may be a minimum amount you need to spend at the restaurant, but it is usually very reasonable (and it’s what you would probably spend anyway). To see what restaurants are in your area that you can use Restaurant.com gift cards at, simply type in your zip code on their restaurant locator. There are several to choose from in each area.

The Restaurant.com site is easy to navigate, and in addition to searching by your zip code or area, you can break it down further by choosing which type of food you are looking for (or craving) you can search by cuisine type, price, atmosphere, etc.

Make sure you check out the California guides. If you are attending BlogHer ’11 in San Diego, take a peek at the Restaurant.com San Diego Discount Dining Guide!
