The Chronic Consumer

I just wanted to make a quick post here to let you know what kinds of products are fair game for one of my reviews. In a word: everything! That’s right, I’m liable to blog about any product under the sun. If I want it, saw it, heard of it, or bought it, it will very likely find its way to these pages eventually.

So in addition to the video games, game systems, running shoes, watches, dental floss, and shower gel that I’ve already reviewed, you could see posts about home furniture, cookies, pens, sporting goods, gadgets, cleaning supplies, and who knows what else!

Hopefully I’ll cover the products (and services) you’re most interested in. Your best bet is to keep checking back to see what I write about next!

I just wanted to let you know that I’m having a contest to help promote The Chronic Consumer. Since I don’t have much traffic over here to speak of, the contest is actually being sponsored by my one of my other blogs, Reviews and More. You can click on that last link there to read the specific guidelines for this contest, so I’ll just give you the short version here.

Basically, I’m just looking for some backlinks at this point. All you have to do to participate in this contest is write up a quick post mentioning (and linking to) both The Chronic Consumer and Reviews and More. Then, send the permalink in an email to contest[at]chronicconsumer[dot]com, and you’ll be entered into a drawing where you can win one of six cash prizes ($50, $30, $20, $10, $10, and $10).

The deadline for receiving entries is 11:59pm EDT on June 30, so that gives you another week.

Good luck, and thanks to all those who have submitted entries thus far!

I love to go shopping and buy things, so I thought it would be fun to create a new blog about my experiences. In addition to posting about products I actually buy, I plan on alerting readers to goods and services I think they might be interested in. I also will post any online coupon codes that I come across, any timely sales that are worth noting, etc. In short — anything that has to do with shopping, consumerism, or spending money is pretty much fair game!

Keep checking back as I add more content to this blog!
