Giveaway

Now this is something you’re going  to love – ReClip.It.  It’s just like Pinterest but it’s just for deals, coupons, freebies, etc.  How can you not love that?!   Basically you “clip” deals into your personalized folders, invite your friends to follow you and follow your favorite deal finders (such as The Frugal Find).  If we’re all clipping/sorting/organizing deals it’s going to be hard to let any of the good ones slip by.

The best part is that because of the simplicity of the process I’ll be able to “clip” many more deals than I’m actually able to post here on TFF. Plus I have the idea to create folders geared toward specific regions such as for my Bay Area readers!

Here is a the basic breakdown…

  • ReClip.It is a new site that allows you to follow specific deal experts that you love and get notified every time they clip a deal or coupon, you can follow The Frugal Find here!
  • You can reclip deals that you see on Reclip.It onto your own personal folders.
  • Invite friends to follow or collaborate with you in your folders so you discover more deals!
I’m totally new to this but so far I’ve started a few folders and you can follow any or all of them…
.
New Coupons
Daily Deals
Freebies & Samples
Grocery Deals
.
Now this program is still in Beta and is by invite only.  ReClip.It has asked me to share it with YOU!  As a part of the Beta launch they’ve offered me a $50 Amazon Gift Card to giveaway to one TFF reader.

Now head on over to ReClip.It and get signed up then come back and get your entries in!  This giveaway will end on Sunday night 3/11 at midnight PST.  If we get over 250 followers ReClip.It is going to give us another $50 Amazon gift card to giveaway, so start following!

Get a FREE $6 Shell Gas Card with All You!March All You Magazine
to giveaway plus samples of  Truvia® for each of those 19 winners as well!   I’m a long time fan of the All You Magazine and I know many of you are as well, but this was my first time trying Truvia®.   They sent me a sample along with a copy of the March All you as well.  It’s fits in well with many of the changes I’m making to my food choices so I welcomed the sample!   Mr. Frugal long ago outlawed all artificial sweeteners and that meant the Diet Coke that I drank regularly as well, so I wasn’t so sure he’d be keen on Truvia® either.  However he did a bit of research and feels comfortable with me using it since Truvia® is born from the leaves of the Stevia plant.  It’s a natural sweetener with zero-calories, which sure makes counting calories a whole lot easier!

You can see which coupons will be in the issue right here.

Paying retail is already out of the question for those of you who are dumping debt, but even with coupons there are some household necessities that can be made cheaper from basic ingredients.  So I wanted to revisit the various posts we’ve written in the past about DIY household products and Cooking From Scratch recipes such as…

Homemade Dog Food Recipe

Frugal DIY: Turn Your Magazines into Christmas Bows!

Homemade PB&J and Grilled Cheese Uncrustables

Homemade Liquid Fabric Softener

Homemade Granola Bars

Freezer ‘BRC’ Beans, Rice, and Cheese Burritos

Homemade All Purpose Cleaner

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

Homemade Laundry Detergent

Homemade Strawberry Jam

As you can see many of the things we buy (even with coupons) can be made for just pennies on the dollar!  Are you still there?  If so you’re in for a treat.  This is a secret giveaway and if you’re reading this post you’re in luck!  I’ll be giving away a $100 credit to VitaCost.com just for commenting on this post.  All you have to do is leave a comment with either a DIY/Homemade topic that you’d like to see us write about that we haven’t listed above  OR your favorite DIY/Homemade recipe.  I’ll be choosing a winner first thing tomorrow morning (3/2).  Please note that the credit is only valid through 3/4 so you must be ready to shop!

Congrats to Melissa - Mellylantz@ - she’s been sent an email and has 24 hours to claim her $100 VitaCost.com credit!

Grocery Outlet has released a new ad and it has a HOT $5 off $20 frozen food purchase coupon, you can see the front side here and the back side here.  Lately they’ve been carrying large bags of frozen organic brocolli and green beans for just $2.99.  They come with 2 individually sealed bags inside, this would be a great way to use this $5/$20 coupon.  Grocery Outlet is a staple in my weekly shopping budget, you can see what I found this week over here. Grocery Outlet is like a treasure hunt, you never know what deal you’re going to find!

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 3/5 and the winners will be announced shortly after.

This is a BIG deal and we need your help.  NoMoreRack has offered us the opportunity to win 1 of 4 HUGE prizes as a part of the “My NoMoreRack Challenge”.  It’s simple, if our video (above) gets the most views we’ll win a 2012 Ford Fiesta and you’ll win an iPad2!  I said there were 4 prizes right?  So if we win ANY of the 4 prizes listed below we’re committing to giveaway an iPad 2 to one lucky frugal find reader.  It will come out of our own budget, we’re doing this as an incentive for you to help us win.  Ideally we’ll win big, but we need YOUR help! If we win the car, well you’ll probably find us out dancing in the middle of the street! We’re currently a 1 car family which works wonderfully for us, but it’s a big Sequoia – I’d love a little commuter car to get me from store to store as I hunt down all the best deals for you. Mr. Frugal thinks we should sell it and pay down debt/hospital bills. We’re just dreaming of course!

NoMoreRack is offering 4 prizes:

1. iPad 2
2. MacBook Air
3. 70” 3D LED TV
4. 2012 Ford Fiesta

In the past we’ve had nothing but stellar experiences with NoMoreRack.  Two years ago you helped me win an iPad for Mr. Frugal’s birthday courtesy of NoMoreRack and this Christmas I won 2 Kindle Fires and gave one of them away.  Hundreds of you scored a pair of FREE glasses from NoMoreRack this past fall and you can see me wearing mine in the video above. All this plus the countless free deals, hot steals, and more that make NoMoreRack such an awesome deal site.

Enter to Win:

Mr. Frugal and I have until March 8th, 2012 to get as many views as possible on this youtube video.  NoMoreRack will announce the winners on March 12th, 2012.  If we are one of the 4 winners one of YOU will win an iPad 2.  To make sure you’re entered in the giveaway you MUST watch this video and enter using the Rafflecopter entry form below. Just to clarify, we will giveaway an iPad2 IF we win the “My NoMoreRack Challenge”.

In “The Super Red Racer”, kids will learn about the merits of hard work and saving for what they want. In “Cash Flow Planning”, you’ll learn how to live within your means, pay off your debt, and have enough extra cash for saving and entertainment. Listen at home, in the car, or at the gym.

We’re just a few weeks into the Debt Free in 52 series, if you’ve missed the previos topics you can find them here.  Today though I thought we’d take a break and have a giveaway!  Just recently the UPS man unloaded several boxes full of Dave Ramsey swag and it’s all for YOU!  We’ll be hosting several Dave Ramsey giveaways over the next few months as a part of our Debt Free in 52 series.

Today’s giveaway is for a Dave Ramsey Starter Bundle ($120 Value) which includes:

  1. The Total Money Makeover book and workbook
  2. 2 DVD Lessons from Financial Peace University
  3. TheMoney AnswerBook
  4. Starter Envelope System
  5. Dave’s Budgeting Software

I’ve shared a bunch about Dave Ramsey and how much we love his program, simply because it WORKS if you work it.  I’m sure there are hundreds of TFF readers that could share their amazing debt free stories (such as Katie’s 77K in 28 months here and here), and we hope to among them shortly!  In the mean time, we’ll continue living like no one else so that later we can LIVE like no one else!

Now for the fun part, the giveaway!  We will be giving away one starter bundle today.

Once again, I just LOVE giveaways and I love telling people about the products our family enjoys, put those two together and you have the TFF Pantry/Stockpile 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!) Today’s theme is “Good Morning Sunshine!” Pictured above are 8 staples you will almost always find making their way into our morning routine, there are obviously other items like soap – we do shower from time to time I promise!  These are just what I consider to be our favorites, at least for now.  There will be 1 Frugal Find winner this week and the winner will receive a box full of goodies including the following items…

Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry Toothpaste ($3 Value) – We have officially made the switch to an all natural toothpaste for our children, for a variety of reasons.   We appreciate that it’s all natural, dye free, and you can choose with fluoride or without.  The kids just care that it tastes like Strawberries.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Face Wash ($8 Value) – I’ve always used Aveeno products on my face, finding a deal can be tough but when I do I seriously stock up!

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm and Chapstick ($5 Value) – Nothing works quite as well as Burt’s Bees Lip Balm and now that we’re living in the High Desert here in Central Oregon we’ve come to really appreciate a good lip balm.

Oral B Professional 1000 Series Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush ($75 Value) – If you have the funds to make the switch to an electric toothbrush, do it.  You’ll never look back.

Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo & Conditioner ($12 Value) – What can I say, it smells good and works well!

Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil ($20 Value) – I LOVE Bare Escentuals products and the mineral veil is the icing on the cake.  This is a translucent powder that works on any skin tone.    A while back I wrote a post with a slew of Bare Escentuals deals on Amazon, check it out over here.

Why we do these giveaways

We’re abundantly blessed day in and day out by the overwhelming support of our readers.  From time to time we earn referral credits or get products to sample and as a result of you shopping through our links and/or visiting our blog.  While these opportunities serve to support our family and provide for our needs, there are some cases where we have the opportunity to spread the blessing and we eagerly await those moments! YOU all make it possible for our family to do what we do, so this is one small way that we can say “Thank You!”

Now for the fun part, click below and enter to win!

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
