While the Shopping Blog has been on something of a hiatus, we recently began updating it more regularly, and expect to start posting daily very soon. In addition to Consumer Reports shopping guru Tod Marks, we're starting to feature content from ShopSmart, CR's new shopping magazine, and the Consumer Reports Money Adviser newsletter.

I'm pretty frugal so it wasn't without a fair amount of handwringing but I'm convinced that by using skype for most of our long-distance phone calls we'll come out ahead. The deal we signed up for came with a "free" router if we signed up for a 12 month plan. If we cancelled before 12 months then we would have to pay $99 (but you keep the router). The other side of the deal was that we could avoid the 12 month plan but pay $99 for the router up front. I was happy to sign up for the 12 month deal because either way I was going to be needing to get a router. The only way I could have gotten a cheaper deal is to have bought the router from a third party (but that would only be true if we really did terminate early).
