Once upon a time someone sang “Summer loving, had me a blast.” That person would go on to make a bunch of terrible movies about talking babies, so maybe we shouldn’t dwell on that part. But we should remember the part about summer. Ah yes, the time for frolic. This episode of GauchoTV kicks off the first in the Summer Fun Series.

Aside from reality TV, the only thing that separates humans from animals is a desire for clean laundry. Oh sure, you may think your cat desires clean laundry, but really it just wants to jump in the basket of clean laundry to get some of that coveted dryer warmth.

Some people are so proud that they shop there they are willing to shout it from the rooftops, others slink in under cover of night and try desperately to maintain their “cool” or “hip” factor by either denying that they shop there, or that they are shopping there to be “ironic.” Either way, it is impossible to deny the savings juggernaut that is Walmart.

With nearly a gazillion locations nationwide and stands in pretty much every major (and minor) airport, bus station, lobby, waiting room, grocery store and some of the finer port-a-johns, Starbucks is the ubiquitous force of caffeine supply to the known universe. As such, this week I bring you a whole GauchoTV episode all about Starbucks.

Remember that one time you thought “hey, I’m going to buy this awesome [fill in the blank with horrible thing you bought]!”? Well, that is what this week’s episode of Gaucho TV is all about. Kinda. Sorta. This week kicks off the first edition of “You Bought WHAT!?!” A tribute to the crazy prices people pay for things that are of questionable actual value.

You would think that would be enough, geeing out about hot new gadgetry, but alas no. I’m also showing you the top 5 ways to save money on your clothing budget. And in this episode you get to see me shake my booty. So many wonderful reasons to watch again and again. So gather the family around the laptop and let’s share some good times.

Hey Gauchos, does it make your blood boil to think about how much money guys like Bill Gates have that you do NOT have? I know it really makes mine boil. So maybe you’ve recently got a new computer, and maybe you even got a great deal on it. But now you need some kind of word processor application so you can be productive. This week, Marv shares with us some free options out there for software!

In this episode Marv does some incredibly helpful things (like telling you the Top 5 ways to save money on your cleaning budget) and some incredibly stupid things (like smearing a window with Chocolate Sundae Syrup). You heard me right.

This week, Marv peers into the dark heart of that drawer in the bottom of your fridge. No, not the meat drawer (or tofu drawer for you vegetarians). And no, not the egg drawer, because that’s not a real thing. No, I’m talking about your produce drawer. AKA “Crisper” as it is known in weirder regions of the universe.
