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?!?!

Do your kids like GoGurt? Have you or your kids tried it yet? Well either way, here is your chance to get a FREE box of Go Gurt and and fun lunch kit! We love the Go Gurts, especially the New Simply Go Gurt. We always freeze them for the kids to enjoy a treat and we don’t mind this “treat” for the calcium and vitamin D that they are getting. Many also put them in the lunch boxes in the morning and by lunch time, they have thawed and are perfect for eating and they also serve as an ice pack for the other items in the lunch box without needing an additional ice pack. It is a great easy addition to lunches. You can find out more about Go Gurt by visiting their site.
There are some coupons available to purchase GoGurt:
So here is what you are able to win to spruce up your kid’s lunches for FREE: a prize pack filled with lunch time goodies. You will receive a coupon for a FREE box of Go Gurt, insulated lunch bag, water bottle with ice cooler, soft calculator, 2 twisty pencils, highlighters in the shape of a flower in 5 different colors, sandwich box and a fun pen with attached fan! WOW! That is a mouth full!
We were provided with one of these packs as well from Yoplait through MyBlogSpark. The kids scarfed down their yummy Go Gurts – they love them! The funny pen fan as brought hours of enjoyment for our kids: isn’t is always the silliest things?? The soft calculator has also been quite a hit. It really is quite cool – we just might need to snatch it as it fits perfectly in our coupon binder….hmmmmm. This pack could come in very handy for you either to give your kids hours of enjoyment for keeping lunches cool, having cool supplies on hand and more!

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.

We just had another successful Fun Fabulous Friday giveaway. The theme from this week was sharing your best tips about produce – how you buy it, what to look for, and even how best to eat it! If you’re looking for some fresh ideas on how to buy or use product take a look at your great produce 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:
“I always buy when in season, and look for deals“
Great tip! We try to purchase from Bountiful Baskets, our local food co-op. Not only have we found the fruits and vegetables to be a great deal but we have loved the quality and surprise of what we would get each week. If we run out through the week, we also purchase our produce through the deals of our local food stores. Finally, we have also found Sam’s Club to be a source for some of our produce but we don’t go very often and you have to be careful as some of their prices are a bit high. Primarily though we do rely upon our produce co-op the most.
