The deals are a bit slim this week. Sorry about that. I'm on vacation and didn't have much time to scour for them. But you'll find a great new way to get a deal on shoes, a fun free kid event and some travel savings. Remember if you spot a deal, drop me an e-mail.

Shoe Deals
• One of our KVUE news producers, Liberty, shared this great new site called Shoe Dazzle. For anyone who loves to buy shoes, this could be just the site you need.
She even sent me some photos of the shoes she received.
Here's how it works. You pay $39 a month, then select the kinds of shoes you like. They then send you some pictures of five similar shoes and you choose the pair you like and they send them to you. The shipping is free and you get to keep the shoes. You can do this every month or pick the option to skip and then start over again the next month. The one thing I will remind you of is that you have to choose the skip option by the 5th of the month in order to avoid a shoe order that day.

It's very similar to some of the websites I've written about before that let you pay a certain amount each month and then get your pick of purses and bags. And if you're a shoe hound this could be a cheaper way to stay up on the trends.

• Through October 24th Karavel Comfort Center is offering $10 off a Clarks footwear purchase to anyone who brings in a gently worn pair of shoes. The idea is to help the Soles 4 Souls organization. If you haven't heard of that organization it provides shoes for people in need. The effort began after the 2004 tsunami and since then the organization has donated 5.5 million shoes to people in need.

Kid Event
Throughout each month the Lady Bird Wildflower Center has all kinds of great events for kids. Friday, October 16th from 6pm to 9pm there's a terrific event called Flight of the Monarch Butterfly. It's a chance for kids to learn all about butterflies.

Travel Deals
Book by October 15th and you can get airfare for as low as $35 through Southwest Airlines. The best fares from Austin were about $60 one-way.
