    Bonus episode: The tech we're thankful for
    2020/11/25
    The show's a little different this week. No deals, no money-saving tips. Rick and Dave chat about the coolest tech they've enjoyed and are thankful for in 2020, with a few hopefully amusing diversions along the way. And bonus feature: It's a short show. We'll be back next week with the usual money-saving tips. You can talk to us at cheapskateshow@cbsinteractive.com.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
