You may think we are corny, but we love Fun Fabulous Fridays because we get to read your awesome comments and suggestions! This week we asked you to share tips for some Labor Day fun! As usual, we loved your comments! Make sure to check out all of your Labor Day tips in case you are still looking for something to do.
With that said, it’s time for the announcement of the winner. Before we do, we wanted to share her tip/plans for Labor Day with all of you:
Labor Day fun! A picnic in the back yard. No crowds, a little bonfire (ya, we’re in the boonies, so we can do that), some horseshoes and volleyball, s’mores and hot dogs. If it rains, we move the party inside!
This sounds like an amazing thrifty Labor Day plan – you can’t save much more than a picnic at home with awesome time with family and friends!
On with the purpose of this post: thanks to randomizer.org for picking this week’s Fun Fabulous Friday winner for the $10 Amazon.com gift card. So now with the announcement….can we get a drum roll please?!?!
CONGRATULATIONS to The Thrifty Couple Liker – Becky (becky@) Woohoo!
Watch for your email for instructions to claim your gift card.
TGI Friday’s is offering a FREE appetizer with any entree purchase with this TGI Friday’s coupon. This coupon is good until September 8th.
Also, just a reminder this is the last weekend to receive the FREE $10 gift card that participating T.G.I.Friday’s locations are offering. How do you get this gift card? Well, just order 2 of their new Carribbean Entrees and then you will receive this gift card for you to use in the future. This deal is going on until September 6th. The entrees are $8.99 – $17.99.
There may be a chance that TGI Friday’s would let you use the coupon the the FREE entree and receive the $10 gift card as long as both of your entrees are the Carribean ones. You might as well ask as it never hurts to do so – but could yield you even more savings!
Today is such an exciting Friday – It is the start of an extended weekend, then Fun Fabulous Friday for the $10 Amazon gift card and finally MEGA SWAGBUCKS FRIDAY!
It is so ridiculously easy to earn these gift cards just by searching using the Swagbucks toolbar/browser as our search engine. We usually win 10-50 Swagbucks by our second or third search of the day (plus more throughout the day as we are doing our normal web searches).
Be sure to read the list below on how you can earn more Swagbucks.
If you do NOT use Swagbucks yet……. Then what are you waiting for??
If you are not sure what Swagbucks is all about – well it is only just the most rewarding way to search the web. Instead of using the search page you normally use, you use the Swagbucks homepage or toolbar to search and then every once in a while, it will pop up that you won another Swag Buck or more! We usually win 1-4 times daily, with each win varying from 10 – 50 Swag bucks.
But on Fridays, they up the ante and typically double the bucks they reward and normally give. So you will want to do lots of searching today!
PLUS here are more ways to easily earn extra Swagbucks right now:
Add the Swagbucks Toolbar and you will get EXTRA BUCKS just for using this toolbar. Also, poke around the site and find the tab more ways to earn and for more ideas.
Invite friends to start using Swagbucks too via email, facebook or other social media and you will earn right along with them! Post on your Facebook page about Swagbucks and post each time you win and your friends will start to wonder what it is that you are doing and you can get more referrals that way to start earning faster!
Additionally, click on the “Ways to Earn” tab and click on Special Offers – at the top of the Swagbucks home page, choose the option on the right that states “View No Obligation Offers and Win.” Then just click on the skip button on about 5-7 pages and then at the end it will say “Congratulations – you just won X number of Swagbucks”. You can do this regularly.
Also, you can enter in Swagbucks codes on the Swagbucks home page as you find them. Well, look for the Swagbucks search widget on the top left of our site and when there is a code, the black area at the top with say “code alert” and then you can click on that for details on where to find the code to enter.
Enter your birthdate on the Swagbucks home page and automatically earn 50 FREE Swagbucks when your birthday rolls around.
It is Friday and the start of an extended weekend with the upcoming holiday! YAY! We are set for a weekend of fun and hope you are too. With Friday also comes Fun Fabulous Friday here on The Thrifty Couple.
For those of you that have not yet participated – how does Fun Fabulous Friday work? Well, at the end of today one of our readers will win a $10 Amazon gift card. You will need to enter to have a chance to win! You can get two possible entries each today.
Each week, we have had a fun topic for everyone to leave their quick comment/insight on. It has been so much fun to read the awesome tips and comments that you all have.
This week is going to be – Labor Day Fun tips! We want to hear any tip that you have on how you celebrate the weekend, i.e. BBQ’s, hikes, camping, local festivities, etc. It does not need to be a thrifty tip – but if you have one to share, please include it as you know we love those thrifty tips!
Here are the two ways to enter. Make sure to leave a comment for each one as each one is a separate entry.
This is the “mandatory” entry. We love hearing from each of you and your tips. So, this week we want to know your tips on anything concerning Labor Day Fun.

This giveaway is for TODAY – Friday, September 3rd ONLY! It ends at 11:59 MDT tonight! The winner will be announced on Saturday!
This really turned out to be a great Fun Fabulous Friday giveaway. As you already know, the theme for this week was to share your best breakfast tips – how to do it quick, healthy, and even thriftily! If you’re looking for some great tips on how to start your day then take a look at your great breakfast suggestions and learn something new.
With that said, it’s time for the announcement of the winner. Before we do, we wanted to share her tip on buying produce with all of you:
We make a lot of extra pancakes or waffles then freeze them, cheaper than eggos and just as convenient!
This is a great tip and one shared by many of you! We love that tip as well and have found that making extra pancakes and waffles when you are already making them is nearly painless and makes those rushed mornings a bit easier to handle. In addition, check out our recipe for breakfast cake make by taking your pancake mix and making it into a cake. Its quick, easy, and thrifty when you combine those coupons with sale prices to buy that mix.
On with the purpose of this post: thanks to randomizer.org for picking this week’s Fun Fabulous Friday winner for the $10 Amazon.com gift card. So now with the announcement….can we get a drum roll please?!?!

Is your “virtual” sky falling with money? How? Well in the form of Swagbucks – that in turn can be used to redeem for gift cards, which are like cash.
Why is this so cool and why do we not want you to miss it? Well – we personally ignored it for sooooo long and it is a thrifty regret that we did not take advantage of it sooner. It has been a huge blessing for our family in terms of helping us to reduce our budget even more by using our Swagbucks to buy the things we need instead. We don’t want you to wait and miss out! Christmas is coming and you may be able to help pay for part of this year’s gifts with your Swagbucks.
