Random Things Katie Recommends

• Financial Peace University: www.daveramsey.com ..."where debt is dumb, cash is king, and the paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice"


• The Grocery Game: www.thegrocerygame.com ...save money on groceries and have fun doing it


• Recipes Galore: www.allrecipes.com ... the detailed reviews help you know you will have a winner ahead of time! I have found so many new "keeper" recipes this past year with this site.


• Shoe Shopping: www.zappos.com .... buy shoes; return them for free when they don't fit (which they almost never do on my 11AAA foot)


• Travel Tips & Trip Reports: www.flyertalk.com ... ultimate frequent flyer nerd community. Figure out which room is the best, which hotel manager to talk to to get upgrades, etc.
• Teva Olowahu flip flops: http://www.teva.com/ProductDetails.aspx?g=w&categoryID=38&productID=6840&model=Olowahuz ... always have to get at least one new pair every summer. SO comfortable, and cute too!


• Bargains, bargains: www.ebay.com .... Check ebay for nearly anything you normally buy at the store. In the past several months I have purchased the following on ebay: labels for my label maker (yes I use it - all the time), makeup, hair products, and a hard to find diaper bag.
• Billy Blanks Tae Bo: http://www.billyblanks.com/ .... This will kick your butt, not to mention make it very tight.
