10 Ways you are getting ripped off.

Are you like me... trying to save a buck or two whenever possible - and as painlessly as possible?  I love the Consumer Reports site and Yahoo Finance had some interesting articles/links.  From time to time I will upload an article or link I think might interest or benefit you.  It's not very creative, but it may trigger some creative thinking!

I thought this was interesting... if nothing else.

I was especially interested in the Shape-Up athletic shoes.  It just so happens I went shopping for these this past weekend.  I suffer from plantar fasciitis and just recently ruptured the entire ligament--ouch!!  Back in the darn ugly Frankenstein boot again.

My Opinion:
I tried on the Reebok and the Skechers.  The Reebok shoe didn't have enough padding and I could feel the air pockets individually.  The Skechers felt wonderful and put the weight and pressure points away from my heel.  The only problem is they look like rubber platforms--ugly ones.  The look, I would just have to get over, but it was the price I had a problem with.  Granted there was a bit more rubber to the sole, but other than that, it's just a plain same-old, same-old, athletic shoe--not worth the $120 price tag.  I don't know if I'll have much choice because of my foot issue, but I won't be happy about it, and I won't buy another of their over priced shoe for me or my family.  Any alternative suggestions?  I would love to know if you or someone you know is dealing with this issue and what they have done to heal and get rid of it.

Thanks,

Blogs I Heart!

I have started adding some links to the "Blogs & Stuff" section that I regularly read and often get inspiration from.  I strongly suggest you take a peek at them.  Scroll down the page and look on the right side to locate the section.

Tell me which one(s) you liked best by clicking on the word "comments" on the bottom of this post.

Blog Update:

Starting this blog is more labor intensive then I initially thought.  I want it to be unique, interesting, and inspiring.  The process is exciting and my head is swimming with ideas.  No doubt I am making this much more complicated than is necessary--this will come as no surprise to those who know me well.  Anyway...as I over-think every detail, things are moving along nicely.
