We've all heard it a million times by now. The Internet is going to change the way we live.
Life is going to move faster, and everyday chores will be simplified through a massive network of convenience.
The Web has evolved to the point where you don't have to leave your home in order to get your daily tasks done.
Check out the following tools and services to save time and headaches with a few clicks.
CleanSleeves.com
Get ready for the evening, or even the next day of work, by arranging your dry cleaning through an
online service. Sites like CleanSleeves.com have arrangements with local dry cleaners across the nation
and include pickup and delivery of garments. Prices are usually similar to what you would pay if you
went to the cleaners yourself. You can leave special instructions, specify how much starch you like and
even get your shoes fixed! Many of the services listed here are new and not available everywhere yet. If
CleanSleeves.com doesn't operate in your region yet, check to see if
Americleaners does.
Food.com
Once the evening's entertainment has been delivered, it's time to eat. While there are many
sites dedicated to certain areas of the country, Food.com allows you to order meals - from
fast-food to gourmet - in practically any area of the country. Simply type in your zip code
and see the menus from the restaurants in your area, click on your choices and wait for your
meal to arrive.
Peapod.com
A trip to a crowded grocery store can take up the better part of a Saturday, so why not save
time by shopping online? The virtual grocery store at Peapod allows you to create an online
grocery list - everything from milk to fresh produce to meat - and then schedule a time to
have the food delivered to your home.
