This time The Frugal Life of a Mom's getting a little CrAzY, myself. I have really wanted to do something a little more on the creative side and have been thinking about what I want to do as far as a giveaway to my AWESOME readers.

First off I must start with saying that this giveaway is for LOCAL readers only, you'll hear why in a sec. All of you readers that are not local, I got something comin' up for you too, but it is going to take place after this giveaway.

Okay, soooooo, I have put a "challenge" together for myself to see what I stockpile for 20. So, whether that takes a month or so, after I have spent my $20 then we will pick one, lucky, local reader to get all of the goodies that is bought with this $20. I think you could get quite a bit of stuff. I will keep you updated with pictures and posts as to what we are coming along with, so you know. I am soooooo excited to take this on.

Are you wondering how you an enter? Well, first off you MUST be local. Then, you can....(make sure you leave me your e-mail so I can get in touch with you, with every entry)
1-Become a follower/already be a follower.
2-Become a subscriber/already be a subscriber.
3-Share a good/current deal. (I have to get lots of good stuff for this).
4-Share my blog address with your friends and family.

I will let you know when time is up or just about to be up. Then, I will pick a winner and they will have 24 hours to get back to me OR I will have to pick a different winner. :( Then, you will have to come and meet me so I can get your goods too you.

I, personally, think this sounds like soooo much fun!

Thanks!

Cheryl

TOOP was $0.97, plus $0.39 tax. Total saved was $51.72!

The Caregivers Marketplace

Are you aware of The Caregivers Marketplace? It is a GREAT way to get money back for necessities that you may buy. Here is some info on it....

The Caregivers Marketplace™ is the nation's first cash back program for anyone who gives, gets or needs care. You can receive cash back on eligible products that are not typically covered by insurance or Medicare – no matter where you buy them. Our program is free and your information is always kept confidential.


To start getting cash back, just follow these five easy steps:
~Enroll online (to reduce the processing time for your first cash back check).
~Print a cash back request form.
~Purchase five or more of the same or assorted products. (You don't have to do this all in one transaction, but will submit five at a time in order to get the rebate. I did this once before and only submitted for one and NEVER got money back. So, I learned the hard way).
~Complete the cash back request form.
~Send in original receipts with your completed cash back request form.

Just to list a "few" of the items they have on their list....

~Balmex diaper rash cream qualifies you for $1 back (sizes vary)
~Cortisone cream qualifies you for $1 back (sizes vary)
~Gold Bond qualifies you for $1 back (sizes and types vary)
~Senokot qualifies for $5 back (sizes vary)

These are a great way for senior citizens/caregivers to get some dollars back on some of the products that we may not otherwise have coupons for. If you know of a senior citizen may benefit from something like this, please share this with them. You can go on over here to get more info, setup an account, and even print out the sheet that has all of the products listed.

Thanks!

Swith2Health (S2H) Watch

Earn Rewards for your Activity at S2H.COM

 Seriously, I bought this watch about a month or so ago and I LOVE IT! I even bought one for my son, Trent. This is a GREAT way to encourage activity. You get to earn points while doing your activity.

Switch2Health (S2H) has developed a popular fitness tool for the whole family- the S2H REPLAY. This is a unique activity tracker that records and rewards physical activity. For every 60 minutes of activity, users earn a special reward code that they upload to http://www.s2h.com for 60 points. They earn and accumulate these points towards free Nintendo Wiis, Apple iPod Nanos and iTunes, DVDs, movie tickets, gift cards and more!

I seriously wear this everytime I go to Zumba and I am able to score myself a 60 points at the end of class. I don't know yet what I am saving up for, all I know is that, FOR ME, IT'S FREE MONEY!!! :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE FREE!!!

If you are skeptical at all, it is legit and I highly recommend it for either yourself or your kiddos. Summer is coming and this is a GREAT way to encourage those kiddos to get out and get some activity in. :)

They have also been recently featured on NBC's The Today Show, Fitness Magazine, Better TV and Family Circle Magazine and we have partnered with celebrities and athletes for promotion. :)

Anyway, I just thought I would share how much I REALLY like this product. Go on over here and check it out. You might like it. :)
