Shopping forecasts

Whether you're frugal, fussy or fancy.

I watch what people are suddenly searching for, read the fine print nobody reads, and pick three. One for each kind of shopper. Find yourself, click, get on with your day.

Today's forecast How the forecast works

How the forecast works

Three steps. No lab coats.

  1. 01

    Spot the front

    When everyone suddenly searches for the same thing, something's blowing in. Heated throws in October. Fans in May. I follow the pressure.

  2. 02

    Read the fine print

    Listings, maker specs, warranty terms and the complaints buyers keep repeating. The boring part. I like the boring part.

  3. 03

    Pick three

    One pick per kind of person, each with real trade-offs. My favorite gets a little sun. You get to skip the 47 tabs.

The fine print, in big print

I earn a commission when you buy through my Amazon links. It costs you nothing extra.

I don't run a test lab. I read the listings, the specs and the complaints, and every page says what each pick is good at and where it lets you down.

Prices change by the hour, so I don't print them. The button shows you today's.
