Most Americans don’t know that prescription prices vary wildly from pharmacy to pharmacy. There’s never been a way to compare drug prices – until now.

Ditch the calendar that came with your phone/tablet and download the Google Calendar on all your devices, including your PC. Then you can seamlessly sync all your events and contacts across all your devices.

This app is one of my favorites. It’s the world’s largest repair manual that anyone can edit! Fix it yourself with the easy to use DIY guides for pretty much everything.

They have thousands of step-by-step guides with gorgeous images that makes it easy to repair your stuff. They have new guides for dozens of Androids,
including the five most popular Android devices: the Samsung Galaxy SIII, the
Galaxy S4, the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note II, and the new Motorola Moto.

White Noise Lite

image_thumb33_thumb[1]

Over the years we’ve heard a lot of RV’ers complain about loud noises, cars, trains, and tugboats waking them up. But Jan and I don’t have that problem, because for years we’ve used a white noise machine. It almost completely blanks out any outside noise. The one we have is AC powered, but we’ve used this one boondocking, or traveling.

It has over 40 built-in sounds, and you can download more for an extra charge. You can choose from ran showers and wind chimes, to ocean waves and Tibetan singing bowls. My favorite one is the cat snoring.

And it even better, it can also been used as a digital alarm clock.
