We know that Memorial Day weekend is often viewed the first weekend of summer!  With that, we thought we would kick off “summer”, or at least Memorial Day weekend with a giveaway.  We will be giving away 2 – $25 gift cards – meaning 2 winners will win their choice of a $25 Amazon or $25 Walmart gift card!  We heard so much feedback how you enjoyed choosing your own gift that we thought we would bring it back!

Have you noticed this time of year just gets stressful?  There’s so many activities and events while you’re preparing for the summer and just trying to catch your breath.  With that we thought it would be fun to cook you dinner.  But since we’re here and you’re there we thought it might be a bit hard to come into your kitchen.  So instead we’re going to “cook” for you like many husbands (yep, this is Alex writing this) like to cook for their families – order out for pizza!

We know just how much you have loved our Domino’s pizza giveaways in the past so we thought we would offer another today.  We’re giving away a $25 Domino’s gift card!  Are you excited?!  We thought so.

So here’s the details for the $25 Domino’s Gift Card Giveaway!

This one is going to be easy.  We hope you love it just as much as our family loves a pizza party!

The last two weeks have been crazy over here with The Thrifty Couple. We’ve attended a wedding of a dear friend and traveled this past weekend to speak at a conference. Let’s just say we are glad the new week is upon us.  With that, its time for us to announce some giveaway winners of the $25 Amazon.com gift card giveaway and the $100 Sears gift card giveaway celebrating our Debt-iversary.  Can we hear a drum roll please?!

Congratulations to our $25 Amazon Gift Card giveaway:
Cindy (slpcindy53@)

Congratulations to our $100 Sears gift card giveaway:
Kristina (kmewing24@)

Feel free to congratulate our winners!  If you didn’t win, you know we love giveaways around here so be watching for another to start soon!

There’s been a BIG change on our site! Check out our new homepage! Whoa right? What happened? Well, we first started our site to provide the tips, resources and tools we used to help us get out of our $100K consumer debt and these are things we still use today to help us get to our next financial goal.

We are passionate about sharing these resources and the articles with you. We are passionate about sharing how we live our lives everyday as The Thrifty Couple! We love it!

We also have heard from many of you that you have so much enjoyed and appreciated the articles, recipes, homemade products, kids resources and all of this timeless information that we have the privilege to share with you each day…. but they get buried so quickly by the awesome, amazing and wonderful deals, freebies and savings! And they really are awesome, there is just so much that mixing the timeless with the time-sensitive was proving hard to wade through for those of you looking for some of that specific timeless information!

So we have heard you loud and clear – we have separated the two to make this much easier for everyone! The homepage now houses all of the timeless articles, tips, resources and recipes and the blog now houses all of those 10-20 posts per day where you will still find all of the amazing freebies, deals and savings that day to utilize when you are in need of a deal!

Great news right? Well, we have a confession to make, we sorta-kinda got lost on our site too when we tried to find something as well! So we love this change

If you are a follower of our 10-20 posts per day that contain that day’s freebies, deals and savings – we suggest you bookmark the blog page HERE, click the new “Blog button” in the menu (see below),  or even click on the button found on the middle of the homepage to get there fast. It will look the same as it always has!

Also, email subscribers will still receive an email each day with all of the posts whether it was one of those time-sensitive deals or a timeless article/resource. So you will still be getting it all! If you haven’t subscribed yet, we HIGHLY suggest doing so! You won’t regret getting that awesome email each day as you sip your favorite drink and kick back for just a couple of minutes and scope out the information in the emails we send to you!

With that being said, the homepage is a work in progress. Start enjoying now all of the timeless information to be found in the areas of family and finances and a healthy “frugal” home! Not to mention our new couponing corner that will soon house a video series to help you be a wise saver no matter how you coupon!

So here’s the details for the $25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

So we want to celebrate and keep it going all weekend!  And if you’ve followed us for a while, you know we love to celebrate with a giveaway for a $25 Amazon gift card!   We hope you love it!

We want to give you a few different ways to win – really rewarding you with extra entries because the fact is you probably have already earned most of them anyway!  We hope you love it just as much as we do!

We were enjoying dinner together as a family a couple of nights ago and Cassie started screaming.  I thought she was on The Price is Right and had just won the showcase – in fact, from her response, I thought she had won the double showcase!!  Just why was she screaming so excitedly?  I was wondering the same thing.   Then she started screaming, “Its been two years!”, and I knew exactly what she was referring to.  Yes, its been two years, actually on April 3, that we’ve been debt-free (at least outside of our mortgage).  In fact, we announced it just over two years ago on our site when we paid off that last card.  No second mortgages, no rolling the debt into another loan…just paying it off using the process that we’ve been announcing the last couple of weeks!

Its amazing and almost indescribable just how much weight was lifted off our shoulders that day.  We’ve been trying to describe just how much despair and anguish we lived through as we struggled day in and day out to work our way out of our debt.  And part of our goal is to let you know that we know the pain.  We know the hopelessness.  We know what its like to not see the light at the end of the tunnel.  But by the grace of God and working through seven years of learning how to get out of it, we made that announcement on April 3, 2010 that truly changed our lives.

So what are we going to do to celebrate?  We’re going to celebrate with a giveaway of course – and no, we didn’t go into debt to do it!   We know how must you loved our last $100 Sears giveaway.  The response was outstanding!  So we thought we would do it again.  Why not give you another opportunity to enter to win?!  We are excited because one of you that probably entered last time will win a $100 Sears gift card – we hope you love it!

So here’s the details for the one (two??) $100 Sears Gift Card(s) Giveaway!

We want to give you a few different ways to win – because we know that you really want this prize  – and the fact is you probably have already earned most of them anyway!  We hope you love it just as much as we do!

My how time flies.  That’s how we feel about this week at least.  After being gone this past weekend for a friend’s wedding and visiting with some other dear friends, we have been playing catch up all week.  Why do we share this?  Because we are just now awarding the weekend giveaway!   Yes, its been one of those weeks, but we hope you love the prizes!

Congratulations to our $15 iTunes gift card winner:
Lisa (thehawesfamily5@)

And we were giving away 10 downloads of the title track from the movie, Monumental by IV His Son – congratulations to our 10 winners:

lisa (l.umsl@)
Heather (hdmpetersen@)
Toni (tlwetter@)
Deanna (Deanna.snead@)
Carmee (miaross1961@)
Amy (thompsonmarine@)
Anna (annajeanj@)
sandra (sandra.pierce@)
Debby (Debbyw912@)
Jennifer (jenny_anwar@)

Plus, we are considering giving away another $100 Sears gift card.  We would love to hear from you whether you would love to see this giveaway come back.  Let us know in the comments below or like this post if you would be excited to enter!

This giveaway is now closed and is no longer allowing entries.
Its a beautiful Friday here so we thought we would offer a quick giveaway – and as we haven’t offered an iTunes gift card for a while we thought it would be a fun prize to celebrate your weekend!  And remember, iTunes doesn’t just have music options for you (which they offer millions of songs), but you can use this gift card to purchase the next audio book for your trip (our family loves listening to books, lectures and sermons when we travel) or a few new applications for your iPad.  No matter what you are looking for, we hope you love this $15 iTunes gift card!

But we thought we would add another, optional giveaway.  A couple of weeks ago, on March 27th a premier event occurred that became all the buzz.  In fact, we know many of you were excited and stood in line for the sneak peek at the movie Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure.  We actually had sick kids so had to take two shifts.  I went to the early show and Cassie took our two eldest for the later show.  But what’s exciting is its opening this weekend in select theaters.  Have you seen it?  What do you think?

One of the highlights of the movie was the focus on the meaning behind the National Monument to the Forefathers -  a rare known monument that even many that know their history don’t know of its existence.  We thought a fun giveaway would be to also offer 10 FREE copies of the title track from the movie, Monumental by IV His Son – you might want to hear the sample of the song (plus, you can view the video here).  Its definitely not what you think.  You’ll note his chorus (is that what you call it in rap?) refers to the words engraved on the monument: Morality, Evangelist, Law, Justice, Mercy, Education, Wisdom, Peace, and Faith.  We hope you don’t think we’re off the deep end here, but we love it!  Plus a side note, we have been fans of the producers of this single, Crown Rights Media, before they produced this – beautifully done!

Giveaway Details!

So here’s how this giveaway will work.  EVERYONE will enter for the $15 iTunes gift card.  That’s a given.  And, if you are interested in being entered to win 1 of 10 title tracks of Monumental by IV His Son then you can click the check box in the form below to let us know you want to win!

We had such an amazing time watching all the entries flying in for the $100 Sears gift card giveaway!  We love that you loved it so much!  So with that its time to award the winner of the $100 Sears gift card.

Congrats to Tina (btjfarnham@) for winning this gift card!

Plus, we are excited to award the $25 Amazon gift card giveaway for our March 2012 comment giveaway!  We want to hear from you as well – we are continuing this for April, but do you love it?!  Are you excited that when you comment you are entered to win?  We would love to hear whether this is something you would like us to continue in future months.  If you leave a comment on the post you’ll be entered to win! LOL!

Congratulations to Dueley (dueley@) for winning the $25 Amazon gift card!

Keep your eyes open as new giveaways are always just around the corner!

We are excited to offer you an amazing giveaway opportunity!  We all know that depending where you live Spring is either already here or just around the bend.  Yes, for those of you frustrated by the snow the last few days – we really know that its just around the corner!   With the warmer weather comes a rejuvenated desire to be outside – whether its prepping your garden, getting the lawn back in shape or just enjoying the thrill of going outside and enjoying a barbeque with your family or friends its time to get outside!  And with that Sears wants to remind you to take a look at their outdoor equipment – with special offers on their patio equipment, barbeques and anything else you might need to enjoy that weather!

One of the favorites is the patio set that you see below.  Their Garden Oasis East Point umbrella and matching umbrella base really does make us want to be sitting out next to that pool instead of being strapped to this computer right now!   Plus you can also check out a couple of other deals on a matching lounge chair (looks very inviting!) and this French Bistro steel table.

We are excited because at least one of you will win a $100 Sears gift card – meaning you can enjoy the outdoors in style for a lot less!  But we thought it would be fun to make this even bigger by adding a fun component to it!  We want to offer (out of our own pocket) an additional $100 Sears gift card if we meet a fun goal together!  We appreciate and love to see our site grow and see your friends saving money and changing their finances along with us!  So with that, we want to challenge you to help us – we want to add another 500 people to receive our daily newsletter – containing all of the deals you find here in your inbox.  And as you probably already know, the more we have the better giveaways we can offer (like this awesome $100 Sears gift card)!  So we all win!

With that, we want to encourage you to help us – the more you share this giveaway and our site with your friends means the more opportunities for you to win!  If we meet that goal we will offer a total of 2 $100 Sears gift cards for this giveaway.

Here’s where we are at towards our goal!

Here’s some sample text you can just copy and paste to help you sharing with your friends!

As we guessed, this giveaway was HOT!  We loved the overwhelming response and will make sure to bring this back again in the future.  But even with this awesome thing there must be an end – which means its time to announce our winners of the $25 Domino’s gift card.  And we want to give a final thank you Domino’s for providing the prizes for this giveaway!

Can we get a drumroll please?!  Congratulation to our two winners:
Toni (tlwetter@)
Kathy (kathyp137@)

Keep your eyes open as we have more giveaways coming soon!

This giveaway is now closed and is no longer allowing entries.

We already know you are going to love this!  Why?  Because the last time we posted a giveaway for a Domino’s gift card the house went up like it was a 3-point shot in overtime in the championship game.  Ok, that’s enough talk about March Madness. But seriously, we are giving away two $25 Domino’s gift cards in celebration of the NCAA March Madness and the fact that Domino’s is the official pizza of the tournament!

Plus, to celebrate the fun, Domino’s is offering a fun promotion The Road to Domination in which over 200,000 winners will win either a FREE Parmesan Bread Bites or a Coke product (you could win the grand prize – a trip for 2 to the 2013 NCAA Final Four, but we’re guessing we might not win that).  You can click over to the Domino’s Facebook page, choose your favorite teams to win (hint: we always vote by a guess ), and each entry will give you an entry to win an awesome prize (NOTE: You’re not required to enter The Road to Domination for this giveaway).

So here’s the details for the two $25 Domino’s Gift Cards Giveaway!

We want to give you a few different ways to win – because we know you’ll enjoy the pizza so much more by knowing you earned every entry to win – and the fact is you probably have already earned most of them anyway!  We hope you love it just as much as our family loves a pizza party!

Just enter
Leave your name and email in the form below to enter.  Its really that easy to enter!

Share this giveaway daily for extra entries (optional)
Ok, we know you might hesitate on this one.  If your friend wins then you don’t get the pizza.  That’s the wrong way to think here.  If your friend wins, you win as well!  Because you just need to tell your friend that you expect to be invited to their pizza party!  So each day you share this giveaway is another entry – and another opportunity to win!

Here’s a sample you can use to share with your tweeps on Twitter:

Can we assume you’ve heard of March Madness?!  Yes?  Well, what better time for Ebates to host their huge event called Mommy Madness!  And we need to make some politically correct corrections here.  You don’t have to be a mommy to participate.  Nor do you have to be mad. With that said – we want to tell you about this awesome promotion!  First, to celebrate Mommy Madness, Ebates is offering one awesome winner on our site $100 in cash!  You heard correctly – $100 in cold, hard, green (well, once you get it out of your bank) cash.  Have we got your attention?

But before we tell you how easy it is to enter the giveaway (we’ll get to that), we want to share with you what this Mommy Madness is all about!  A number of stores are offering double-cash back for the whole period of this promotion!  Check out the stores and their doubled cash back rebate amounts:

Here’s that Daily Double Schedule!

This gives you the opportunity to find just your favorite store and maximize the double cash back just when you need it! Remember, Ebates makes it easy for you to not only save on any retail, sale or even clearance priced items you shop for in over 1,500 stores (it will be more difficult to find one that doesn’t participate in Ebates than to find the ones that do) but gives you a percentage back in the form of a rebate – meaning even more savings!

1 – Have an Ebates account (its FREE and easy to sign up)

You might already meet this criteria – and if you don’t then its easy to do – head over to Ebates here and log-in or sign up (its FREE and easy to create an account)!  As a new member you will receive your choice of a $5 cash back bonus in your account OR a $10 gift card to a popular retailer when you make your first qualifying $25 purchase!  Once you have your account, just let us know in the form below! Please note that you will not receive the gift card just by signing up, but completing your first $25 purchase!

2 – Like us on Facebook! (optional)

One of things you’ll want to make sure of is finding just the right time to use Ebates. You can get your rebate on a purchase anytime. But when we find an awesome sale we share it with you. Meaning you’ll want to be following us on Facebook to find out just the right time that your store is offering the amazing deal and maximize it with your Ebates rebate!

Make sure to stay up with us as we have some great giveaways coming up over the next few weeks!

A couple of weeks ago we shared that our entire family of seven experienced the worst bout of sickness we’ve had in years! In fact, we can’t express how thankful we were for your encouragement and the “get better fast” tips you shared with us.  It really was one of the worst sicknesses we’ve had in over four years.  And, you know when you are really sick how it is just the little things that really brighten your day and make you feel leaps and bounds better.  Well, let us share with you a little story how our day was brightened in the midst of our sickness and misery.

It was a cold, dreary and quite miserable day (we’re not making it up – it was sleeting outside and truly cold).  All about our home were coughs, sneezes, fevers and downright gloom.  Then, much to the surprise of our sniffling heads we hear a knock on the front door.  “What is it momma?”  It was nothing else but the delivery man bringing a most providential and VERY welcomed sight – a package with the words White Cloud Facial Tissue surrounding it.  And although we each had our own box of Kleenex in our hands, the boxes were set down to find out just what was inside.

We opened our package of tissues, and the faces of four little kids’ faces lit up with sheer joy! We have never seen these kids get so excited about tissues.  Some of it could be that their tissues were becoming their closest friends.  It could also be that they had these beautiful bright packages that you see in the images in this post.  But either way, their sick little faces said it all! This was their new tissues! They each quickly picked their favorite designs, danced around a bit, tucked their boxes under their arms like a teddy bear and went back to their beds.

It was a moment that shocked us! They were really that excited about their tissues.  But with that said, the real test of what we thought of these tissues had yet to come – the nose test.  Mind you our noses were primed and ready to test.  They were red, sensitive, and aching for comfort. This was the perfect time to test out tissues.  And not only for the kids but for the hubby.

If anyone of you women out there are married, have young sons, or even adult sons you will know this.  They may be men – strong and reliable on a regular basis.  But when they are sick, they whine, pout, and are much more sensitive, testy and irritating.  So the wrong tissues can just mess the whole thing up! With that said, I let Alex test them out first (he grabbed the Supreme with Lotion box knowing his nose required extra comfort).  I waited, holding my breath, and his response was “Huh, that actually feels pretty good” as he grabbed his box and went back to bed.

There I stood.  Everyone in the family had their box (except the baby).  Everyone was happy – even the sick hubby.  I was on “White Cloud” Nine that my family had a bit of happiness on their days of misery.

Truth be told, there are many things we love about these tissues. The first impression we mentioned above is the bright and creatively cool designs that these tissues came in.  They are conversation starters all around your house!  Now you can see why each of our kids enjoyed standing there picking out their favorite design to claim as their own to bring a bit of brightness to their sick days!

But second, the “left behind Kleenex boxes” were left in a pile on the living room floor for the next few days.  Everyone seemed to forget about them.  It wasn’t until later when I was cleaning that I noticed our girls had their White Cloud boxes neatly placed on their book cases next to their beds, and our son even had his White Cloud box on his bed next to his pillow that it really hit me just how sufficient and effective these tissues were even on our sickest of days.  No one complained about them.  They were not replaced.  They met the needs of our family.  They did the job and did it well!

The message that White Cloud is communicating for their facial tissues is Something Smarter Just Popped Up – demonstrated by what happened to our family.  Their new and creative box designs are what you would expect on a more expensive brand.  The quality of the tissues are what you look for when you need a tissue.  But the price is what you hope for when you’re in the store but not wanting to spend all that extra money for quality in both product and design.

These White Cloud Facial Tissues hit the Walmart store shelves a few weeks ago and they are currently sold at over 900 Walmart locations nationwide (you can find out whether your store carries them HERE).  White Cloud Facial Tissues also come in 2-ply and 3-ply as well as with lotion. Better yet, the regular price of these tissues is $1.12 per box at Walmart.  So the regular price is very good compared to Kleenex that sells for $1.57 at Walmart for the equivalent box.  That is a good instant savings available just by buying White Cloud instead of Kleenex!

Giveaway for 5 Winners to receive a 6-pack of Tissues

So the next question is…do you want to try it?  Better yet – do you want to get it for FREE?  White Cloud is giving five of our readers a White Cloud Facial Tissues package consisting of three boxes of Supreme and three of Supreme with Lotion facial tissues.  With that being said, just leave a comment on this post telling us which design you want to try.  Here’s all the designs you can choose from:

If you are not a winner – don’t despair because White Cloud is taking care of you!  You can print a SUPER SWEET coupon for a FREE box of these tissues with the purchase of bath tissue.

It honestly seems like it was Friday just a couple of days ago and doesn’t seem right to be back to another Friday.  With that, we are offering another $10 Walmart gift card for this week’s Fun Fabulous Friday!

Over the last two weeks we have shared our homemade laundry detergents – both our detergent for sensitive skin (for our son with eczema and baby) and the detergent we use for the rest of our family’s needs.  We would love to find out (as your optional entry this week) which other household products or foods you would like to learn how to make from home.  We love making different cleaners and recipes from scratch as we can usually get some amazing savings over buying the same products in the store.

And like last week, if you like us on Facebook you can also get an extra entry just by checking the box in the form below. We post extra deals and information on Facebook for our readers that you will not find on the site here.

We can’t believe it, but after almost two weeks of sickness we can officially say that we’re sick-free!    We still hear lingering coughs around the house but from what we’ve heard these could last for a few weeks.  Thank you to each of you that shared with us your home-remedy/methods to treat the sickness and help us and our kids feel better!  We do know this has been quite the year for sickness and noted that many of you have shared with us that this year has been bad for your families as well.

But with that we need to award our $20 Amazon gift card for our Fun Fabulous Weekend!  Can we get that virtual drum roll please?!

Congratulations to Lizette (Towerslizz@) for winning the $20 Amazon gift card!

Keep your eyes open as we’ll be starting some other fun giveaways soon!
