Dave Ramsey.com: $10 Sale

Dave Ramsey is having a big sale on all of his books, CDs, DVDs, software and more: only $10 each! Free shipping for orders over $65.

Our favorite sale item is by far the Designer Envelope System (aka: The Dave Ramsey Girl Wallet). It's the perfect way to use the "envelope system," where you spend only cash, and looks stylish to boot.

If you're short on cash, add this to your Christmas list!

A few new options...

I've added a couple new options to the website that you may want to check out. I realize that both of these are a long time coming, but I'm remarkably bad at figuring out this blogging stuff...


:: Facebook Fan page -- Finally, you can publicize your affection for the frugal life to all your Facebook friends. Click on the link to the right or just search "Frugal Living NW" on Facebook. I'm planning post the "Deal of the Day" on our wall.

:: Email Subscription -- You now have the option of subscribing to Frugal Living NW through your reader or by email. Enter your email address in the box on the right and new posts will come directly to your email account. No more checking the blog numerous times a day looking for new info.

We'd love for each of you to become a Facebook Fan and subscribe, either though email or your reader. It's a great way to keep updated and join in the community!

Safeway: More Coupon Booklets

While you are looking for these coupon booklets at Safeway, be on the lookout for two more I just saw yesterday.

This Glade booklet was found on a cardboard display at the end of the soda aisle.

This Pharmacy booklet was found at the pharmacy, shocking, I know. There are a couple food items included:

$1/1 Safeway OJ

$1.50/2 Progresso Soup - These are Safeway coupons and can be combined with manufacturer's coupons as well as cellfire and shortcuts, this could make for some inexpensive soup!

Walgreens: $5 Off $25 Purchase Coupon for Sunday & Monday

Walgreens has released a $5/$25 coupon good for Sunday and Monday (November 22 & 23). The $25 must be after all Walgreens store and manufacturer's coupons, meaning the least you will pay is $20 out-of-pocket.

I will post some deal scenarios using the $5/$25 coupon when I put up the deals on Saturday.

Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong $1 Off Coupon

Go here to sign up for a $1/1 Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong coupon to be sent to you by mail.

Thanks Safeway!

As I was standing at the checkout at Safeway a man behind me, upon seeing my coupons, jokingly said, "So are you going to get paid to shop here?". To which I said, "That's my goal!". Well, I did come away having spent money, but it sure wasn't much considering all that I walked out with!

Cheerios: FREE Books Giveaway and Review

My kids and I recently had the opportunity to check out the new Spoonful of Stories promotion from Cheerios. Here's the description of the promotion:

Over the past eight years, Cheerios has given away more than 40 million children's books by distributing them free inside cereal boxes and has donated $3.2 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families. The program is part of Cheerios' ongoing commitment to helping parents provide their children with a healthy, nutritional and educational foundation.

Beginning this month, Cheerios is again bringing books to the breakfast table, by providing six million children's books free inside Cheerios boxes. The books are for children ages 3 to 8 years old, and include a new book in the popular "Trucktown" series, available only inside Cheerios boxes. And for the first time, all five books have been specially printed in both English and Spanish.

This year's books are:


Junkyard Fort, Tea for Ruby (author: Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York!), Sleepyhead, Ballyhoo Bay and What's Under the Bed?

All five books are paperback and in color. And they expose your kids to Spanish, which is pretty cool.


I have recently seen these specially marked boxes in stores (the book is actually inside the box -- no mailing involved!). These books will be a great addition to a stocking or a niece or nephew's Christmas gift, especially if we get a good Cheerios sale and can get the box for under $1 (my base price for cereal).

Cheerios provided Angela the Spoonful of Stories gift pack and information through MyBlogSpark.

******************************

Cheerios and MyBlogSpark are also offering one Frugal Living NW reader the chance to win their own Spoonful of Stories gift pack. The winner will receive:

• a set of the five Spoonful of Stories books
• a box of Cheerios
• a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble

You have two chances to win this giveaway:

:: Leave a comment with either your or your kids' favorite children's book. Also include your email address so we can contact you if you win.

:: For a second entry, subscribe to the Frugal Living NW RSS feed or become a Google follower. Mention you're a subscriber or follower in a second comment.

Comments will close and a winner randomly selected on Saturday, November 21 at Noon.

Kraft Food and Family Magazine + Cookbook Only $5.94

I was so sad to find out that the Kraft Food and Family Magazine was starting to charge for a subscription. I have been enjoying the recipes for free for a couple of years now. It's the perfect recipe magazine for me -- super easy, simple recipes that contain many ingredients that I already have in my stockpile. Granted, some of the meals call for Velveeta and other highly processed food. But it's easy to substitute real food for the suggested "fake" food (don't be offended, I eat TONS of fake food too).

There's a great deal running right now at HSN.com on this magazine -- $6.99 for a year subscription plus a FREE Kraft Food and Family Cookbook. Use the code C56574 at checkout and your total drops to $5.94.

But it gets even better! If you shop through Ebates or ShopAtHome, you will receive 6% cash back, making the subscription and cookbook only $5.58. If you're a new customer with either site, you will also receive a $5 sign-up bonus. To order through Ebates or ShopAtHome, follow these directions:

• Click on the website's link above
• Create a new account or log into your existing account
• Search "HSN"
• Click on the HSN.com link; you will be taken to the HSN.com site
• Search "Kraft Food and Family Magazine" or a few key words
• Order and make sure you remember to enter the code C56574 to receive the discount
• Your cash back rebate (and sign-up bonus) at Ebates or ShopAtHome will appear in a couple of days

Thanks, The Thrifty Mama!
