Giveaway

I’m really excited about this new series of giveaways we’ll be doing here on The Frugal Find.  It’s no secret I LOVE giveaways and I love telling people about the products our family enjoys, put those two together and you have the TFF Pantry Giveaway!  We’ll be hosting a new giveaway each week on Friday, the themes will vary and will cover a huge variety of our favorite products from every room of the house (and beyond!)  We’ll do this until  we feel like stopping I suppose!  Today’s theme is breakfast, pictured above are 4 staples you will ALWAYS find in our pantry and they are commonly served for breakfast.    There will be 2 Frugal Find winners this week.

Krusteaz Pancake Mix: I raved once before about the Krusteaz Pancake mix once before, it has such a delicious taste to it you almost don’t even need syrup!  You can also score a killer deal right now on Amazon…

Krusteaz Low Fat Oat Bran Pancake Mix, 24-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4) - $8.88
w/ Subscribe & Save
Final Price: $2.22 per box plus free shipping

Starbucks Coffee: Of course coffee!  Now Mr. Frugal doesn’t care for coffee, so I should have included some tea in his honor but maybe we’ll save that for another giveaway.  What I love about these bags of Starbucks coffee is that when you’re done, you can take the bag into your local Starbucks for a FREE tall brewed coffee!

Barbara’s Cereal: Then there is Barbara’s Peanut Butter Puffins cereal, one of my favorites!  That was until I realized I’m allergic to peanut butter, can you believe it!?  I never knew you could develop allergies later in life.  I crave peanut butter all the time, so please enjoy some for me today.

Bob’s Red Mill Oats: Lastly, probably the most important pantry staple – Bob’s Red Mill Thick Rolled Oats.   These are not the instant oats, I prefer these because of the many uses.  Of course oatmeal, but we’ve used them in cookies, waffle batter, and so on.  They never turn out “mushy”.  What’s that you want a deal on these too?  Well you’re in luck!

Bob’s Red Mill Oats Rolled Thick, 16-Ounce (Pack of 4) - $8.30
w/ Subscribe & Save
Final Price: $2.08 per bag plus free shipping

Still looking for a deal?  Have you signed up for VitaCost yet?  If you’re new to Vitacost and you sign up through this link you’ll get a $10 off $10 coupon code (comes via email).  Shipping is $4.99 but you can find some GREAT buys with this credit!  You can see a few here, here, here, and here.

Grocery Outlet is a staple in my weekly shopping budget.  However you have to know that shopping Grocery Outlet is like a treasure hunt.  I go with my grocery list already prepared for the week so I know what I NEED and based on past experience I know what a good price is.  If I happen to find a few items from my list at Grocery Outlet that meet or beat my buy it now price, I’ll buy it there.  The fun part however comes with the extra $5 or so that I don’t have designated for specific food items on my shopping list, instead I’m able to hunt down a deal or two at Grocery Outlet!  In the past I’ve found several spectacular deals such as…

  1. Fiber One Bars, 30pk – $4.99
  2. PowerBar Harvest Energy Bars – $0.10 each
  3. Fleishmann’s Butter – $0.50
  4. Tillamook Cheese, 80z – $1.00
  5. Skippy Peanut Butter – $0.99/jar
  6. Post Shredded Wheat Cereal – $0.98/box
  7. Athenos Feta Cheese – $0.99
  8. and so much more!

Would you like the chance to treasure hunt at Grocery Outlet?  I have (2) $25 Grocery Outlet gift cards to give away to 2 lucky Frugal Find readers courtesy of Grocery Outlet.  This giveaway will run through 1/31 and the winners will be announced shortly after.

We thought it would be fun to send a few of you to the movies this week!  If you’d like to get out and enjoy a movie this is the giveaway for you. Three Frugal Find readers will each win 2 Fandango Codes worth 2 Movie Tickets (up to a $12 value). Please note that these tickets will expire on 1/12/12 and there is no way we can extend them for you. 

There are several new movies out and it’s one of our favorite family traditions this time of year – although very pricey!  That’s why we post the movie ticket deals we find as they come up.  Yesterday we went to the movies (the six of us plus my in-laws) and it would have been almost $100 if we didn’t purchase the Fandango deals I posted over the past few months, whew!

So if you’d like to win a pair of Fandango tickets, click below to enter the giveaway. Have fun at the movies!

Congrats goes to Cynthia (cyndoggy@), she is the iPad 2 winner!  I’ll be contacting her via email and she has 48 hours to respond before  new winner is chosen.  Don’t forget to check back in soon as we’ll be giving away a Kindle Fire too!

Last week, Sue Oesterwind was the very lucky winner of our first iPad 2 giveaway.  It was such a huge sucess and so much fun to host that when Pluto Games contacted us and asked if we’d be interested in reviewing their app and giving away another iPad 2 we jumped on the offer!  How could we NOT allow our readers the awesome opportunity to win an iPad?!

Pluto Games has asked us to share a bit about their new (totally free!) app and is sponsoring this week’s prize. Pluto Games has several awesome iPad apps, including Pluto Learns Piano HD. The app is rated for kids 4 and up, and it gets 4.5 stars out of 18 reviews (it’s only been available since the sixth of this month).

Here is a brief blurb about the app from the developer:

Pluto Learns Piano combines scrolling gameplay dynamics with musical notes to get children excited to learn music. The game follows the main character, Pluto the Penguin, on a quest to master a variety of songs on the piano. Unlike most other educational games, Pluto Learns Piano is free to play, with stars awarded based on performance in completing levels. As the player collects stars, Pluto unlocks new songs to learn.
.
Current songs include:
✭ Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ✭
✭ Old MacDonald Had a Farm ✭
✭ Oh! Susanna ✭
✭ The Wheels on the Bus ✭
✭ Swan Lake – Tchaikovsky ✭
✭ Cantata No. 147 – J.S. Bach ✭
✭ Ode To Joy – Beethoven ✭
✭ Minuet in A Major – Boccherini ✭
✭ Lullaby – Johannes Brahms ✭
✭ The Sailor’s Hornpipe ✭
✭ Gymnopédie No. 1 – Erik Satie ✭
✭ Sleeping Beauty – Tchaikovsky ✭

Our 9-year old has spent some time playing it recently and she absolutely loved it!  Haley has been wanting to learn how to play the piano, but buying a real piano (not to mention fitting it in our house) is a little impractical at this time. It’s very intuitive – she quickly figured out how to use the app on her own. She breezed through the first four songs in no time at all, and was already excitedly downloading new songs before we knew it.

From a parents perspective, this would never replace actual piano lessons. It would be awesome if it showed you the proper technique for playing the songs as well as which keys to play. We found our daughter basically playing Simon – she was thoroughly enjoying herself, but we noticed her pointer fingers being used more than the rest, kind of like someone who doesn’t know how to type on a computer. It does track your performance, however, so with enough play time you would most likely start learning correct technique (especially on more difficult songs) since you will not have a lot of time to press the keys if you’re only using two fingers.

Pluto Learns Piano HD is a very entertaining app, and I’m sure once her brothers find out about it they’ll be wanting a chance to play it too!  Head on over and download this free app and let us know what you think about it…

OK guys, I have a fun favor to ask of you.  Remember the FREE Coastal Contacts offer on No More Rack, well it’s still going and because it’s still going we have the opportunity to win a Kindle Fire for ONE OF YOU!  How does that work?  I’m glad you asked…

For every new reader we send to No More Rack we get 1 credit with our credits we can redeem them for prizes.  It takes 200 credits (or 200 referrals) to win a Kindle Fire.  We’d LOVE to win this so we can give it away here on The Frugal Find.  So far we have 70 183 credits and we need just 130 17 more.  We get nothing else out of this, there is no other incentive other than this Kindle Fire for YOU!

It’s easy and completely free to participate…

All you have to do to help us reach this goal is to head on over and sign up for No More Rack through this link, that’s it!  While you’re there you can grab the FREE $99 Coastal Contact offer if you’d like (it’s still going) but you don’t have to.

We’ll update you throughout the day here to let you know where we’re at.  As soon as we get to 200, we’ll “cash in” for the Kindle Fire then when it ships to us we’ll host a giveaway here on TFF!  This offer stands for as long as it takes us to get to 200!
