Apologies to those who TRIED to download the templates but couldn’t connect to the blog. You crushed our servers! It’s okay, though, we don’t blame you. Things should be back to normal now. So happy shopping and most of all: happy eating!

A few folks have had some nifty suggestions for improvements:

  • Checkboxes next to each item
  • Seasonal grocery lists

Save on Running Shoes AND Support Your Favorite Charity

April 29th, 2008 by monica
Mizuno Wave Alchemy 7 Mens Running Shoe 2007 from just £39.99 (20080429)-1.jpg

“Grrrrrrr… half the price.”

That was Tim’s response when I told him the lowest price on a pair of Mizuno Wave Alchemy Running Shoes according to ransacker.co.uk, “the running shoes comparison website that save you time, money and benefits charity.”

Ransacker’s lowest price was £39.99, half of what he spent in New Zealand in February at a running shop. True, did get his foot analyzed by a “pro”, but he didn’t get that nice warm feeling of knowing he got a good deal. In fact he emailed me later that he “felt sick” by the purchase. A happy consumer he was not!

If only he knew about Ransacker, recommended to us by Carl who runs the site. Racksacker makes runners happy by saving them money on shoes, but also makes the charities happy by donating 50% of its commission to the charity of the shoe-buyer’s choice. Tim and I both agree that this is very cool. We wish we thought of this idea! But we were too busy making chains and planning meetings. So thanks to Carl for building this site! I will use it when my current Salomon XA Pro trail running shoes lose their steam.

Do you have a website you’d like to recommend? Then click here to send us a link. If we like it, we’ll post it! And we usually do like it, so why not, eh?
