I was just thoroughly enjoying knowing with a certain degree of certainty that I am getting the best deals on the planet, and wondered if anyone else does this too.

If you install the Google toolbar and use the autofill feature (fills in your address + CC info) in conjunction with [froogle.google.com](http://froogle.google.com)’s option of listing the cheapest price first, you will be scant to find a better deal anywhere on the planet, including amazon or ebay - plus it fills out your info for you.

I am infatuated with Google. _sigh_

I like to tell people I’ve just ‘googled’ something. Makes me feel like a big man.

I use it to check my spelling…

I type in the word, and the google results page comes up with “Did you mean _correctly spelled word_?”
