If you just need up to 6 more outputs, and have free analog input pins, you could use A0-A5 as outputs. Note, on boards with more than 6 analog input pins, I think you can't use the higher pins for outputs, but I'm not sure.
Rather than getting an expansion shield, you could upgrade your UNO to a Mega where you have 54 output pins (15 of which can be PWM), and 16 analog input pins.
For simple output, I did see this shield in searching the web: EZ-Expander - nootropic design.
Another way to expand is to switch to using SPI or I2C which are serial buses for hooking up more pins.
thanks for the link and suggestions
