I recently blogged about the very cool apps I’ve found for my new iPod Touch. Well, I found a great website that offers a list of the Top Ten Best Free iPhone and iPod Touch Recipe Apps. It looks really good, and I thought you cookers out there with iPods or iPhones may gleam something useful. I’m still getting used to using my iPod. I haven’t taken it to the store yet or anything, but I’m sure it will be very helpful. I hope to spend some time exploring what’s out there in App-Land for the iPod, as far as cooking and shopping go. A lot of apps are free, which is terrific. I’m really loving my iPod. It is a terrific organizer– I have my calendar, email, shopping list, recipes, music, contacts, IM account, weather, news, and more. All in one little gadget! I love it. I have to figure out how to send cell phone text messages through it (there’s even an app for that). I’m finding that there are apps for everything!! I also love the Amazon and Buy.com mobile apps– while I am out, I can do price checks with stuff online, and see what’s a better price. PLUS I can research products like allergy bedding and other exciting stuff while I am at the stores. It’s soooo coool!!!

OK OK I’m raving a little too intently. LOL. If you’ve been wanting an electronic organizer/mp3 player, get an iPod Touch! They are so amazing. Really.

Buying in Bulk- Where?

I’m looking into buying in bulk– online– more than ever now. I find a heck of a lot of multivitamin products online, but I’m looking specifically for stuff like dried fruits, nuts, pet foods, and things like pasta and rice. Do any of you have any suggestions? I have only found a few websites, and their prices aren’t that much different than my local grocery store (when you account for shipping). That’s no good.

I ordered yeast online recently, purchased 5 pounds in 0ne-pound packages. It should last me a good year, maybe more. And it only cost me $25 total! Now THAT’S buying in bulk.

I have no idea regarding any co-operative extension in my area, either. I think the nearest one is several towns away. Besides, I’d rather order online and have it delivered than fanagle with an order and have to drive out 15 miles to pick it up. ;)

Do you order in bulk? If so, where? I’d love to try it!
