Kim answers your questions

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

Can I really save money?

Q: I heard you talking about a way to get better insurance rates. What was that site? Do I have to pay for it?

A: It's called Gabi, and no — it's totally free. In just two minutes, you can compare rates for the same car or homeowners insurance coverage you have now. Customers save $825 per year on average. One Komando staffer found out she could save $1,700 annually! 

Gabi compares coverage across 40 of the top insurance providers, including Progressive, Nationwide and Travelers. If they can’t find you savings, they’ll let you know you have the best rate out there.

Tell me more about Honey

Q: How do I use Honey to save money while I shop online? Is it an app?

A: Honey is a free, easy-to-use browser extension. You don't need a separate app and you don't have to log in to a website every time you want to use it. I love that. I don't shop without it anymore because I always save!

Honey finds coupons for thousands of retailers that actually work, all while you shop. No more endless searching online for good deals. Honey is easy to install, too. Just a couple of clicks and you're done.

Get Honey for free at JoinHoney.com/Kim.


Printer shopping

Q: My old printer usually gets the job done, but new ink cartridges are so expensive and I have a feeling this thing isn’t going to last much longer. What should I look for in a new one?

A: It sounds like reliability and ink costs are most important to you, so let’s start there. I’ve used Epson printers at home and at the office for years, and even my older machines work just like they did out of the box. Epson EcoTank printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink — enough to print 6,000 colored pages. Say goodbye to those expensive ink cartridges.

Add the Epson EcoTank to your online shopping list at Amazon, Dell, MicroCenter or at epsonecotank.com/kim.
