Hour 1: The Cheapskate Review

 

 

Don’t let that friendly smile fool you. This steely eyed big game bargain hunter is remorseless when tracking the biggest bargains on everything from drones to smartphone subscription plans.  We are, of course, talking about Rick Broida, CNET‘s official Cheapskate and our Gadget Guy.  We have turned the first hour of the show over to Rick to talk about The Cheapskate’s favorite tech deals of 2017 and take a peek behind the veil at 2018’s big shopping stories.
