There are so many useful websites and apps out there how is one supposed to find them all?!?! Here are some that I have come across that sound interesting. Some of them I go to often for help, others I haven’t, but have bookmarked them as they might be useful in the future. Do you have any that you can’t live without?
WEBSITES
SHOPPING
A website that offers special pricing for items provided by lesser known retailers. All items start out with a certain price, however this has a group buy mentality, so the more people buy, the lesser the end price becomes.

Great list! Some of those apps are really great. However, I'm still looking for an app that will combine not only pill reminder, but also other prescribtions reminders - as sports and meal, maybe even something else. Looking for this one - appotek.com, hope it will solve all the issues.
