<p>It honestly seems like it was Friday just a couple of days ago and doesn&#8217;t seem right to be back to another Friday.  With that, we are offering another $10 Walmart gift card for this week&#8217;s Fun Fabulous Friday!</p>
<p>Over the last two weeks we have shared our homemade laundry detergents &#8211; both our <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/2012/01/26/homemade-laundry-detergent-powder-recipe-like-ivory-snow-and-dreft-soap/">detergent for sensitive skin (for our son with eczema and baby)</a> and the <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/2012/02/02/make-your-own-laundry-detergent-with-scent-like-tide-and-all-surf/">detergent we use for the rest of our family&#8217;s needs</a>.  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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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?!</p>
<p>Congratulations to Lizette (Towerslizz@) for winning the $20 Amazon gift card!</p>
<p>Keep your eyes open as we&#8217;ll be starting some other fun giveaways soon!</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">This giveaway is now closed and is no longer allowing entries.</span></strong><br />
With a late start to Fun Fabulous Friday, we want to turn this into the weekend edition to give everyone a chance to enter! If you remember, we mentioned that <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/2012/01/25/were-having-a-rough-few-days-over-here/">we&#8217;ve been having a few rough days of sickness here</a> which is probably the worst we&#8217;ve had in 4-5 years. We just hit a week total of sickness in our house today and as of this morning there doesn&#8217;t appear to be an end in sight &#8211; and with that we would love your help!</p>
<p>Yes, our kids are sick from the 8-month old to the 8-year old. All five are in differing stages of cold, croup and cough. We are using humidifiers, even had some of those Vicks wall plugins (either for FREE or cheap from many months ago &#8211; not sure if it helps though?) and still have some miserable kids as you would suspect. <strong><em>So in addition to our normal entries, we will give you an additional entry (optional) to share with us a great tip on helping our thrifty kids get better &#8211; or at least not be so miserable.</em></strong> Just let us know in the form below!</p>
<p>For your first entry, just enter your name and email address and you&#8217;ve fulfilled your mandatory entry. And for an extra entry, if you like us on Facebook just check 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.</p>

<p>We have shared before that you know that we appreciate many of the health tips and advice that Dr. Oz shares and we have shared some of the things he recommends for less in the past.  Well we wanted to give you  a head&#8217;s up that today he is giving away 4,000 prizes now through January 30, 2012.   The total value of all of the prizes is $299,900! Sounds pretty sweet!</p>
<p>How this works is that you can enter the sweepstakes once everyday through 1/30/12, you can fill-out the Ultimate Health Quiz and qualify for a chance at one of 4,000 prizes geared towards helping you get better sleep.  <a href="http://doctoroz.sharecare.com/" target="_blank">Fill-out the Quiz HERE and a pop-up will appear to allow you to fill-out the form to enter the giveaway.</a></p>
<p>We don&#8217;t normally post sweepstakes like this, however, the Dr. Oz ones are really good and the last one he had <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/2011/12/19/dr-oz-12-days-of-christmas-giveaways-8300-giveaways-today-1219/" target="_blank">we won a VitaMix </a>and many of our readers here also won prizes including tablets, products and much more and so we have better confidence that you might win!</p>
<h3>Head to the <a href="http://doctoroz.sharecare.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Oz site HERE</a> to enter for the giveaways today!</h3>
<p>And, don&#8217;t forget that we post the best deals we can find on the things Dr. Oz recommends from the Dr. Oz Show to help you stay in budget while being healthier too!  <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/2011/08/04/why-are-we-posting-deals-on-items-dr-oz-recommends/" target="_blank">Check out our previous post HERE</a> for more information on this!</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">This giveaway is now closed and is no longer allowing entries.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Last Friday everyone went crazy over the $10 Walmart gift card!  </strong>We asked ourselves why we would mess with a good thing and give out another this week.  Remember that this gift card can be used either online or in the store so it will be perfect no matter your preferred shopping method at Walmart.</p>
<p>If you noted yesterday, we just posted our <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/2012/01/19/deep-in-debt-to-debt-free-the-baby-that-saved-us-financially/" rel="nofollow">next installment of our Deep in Debt to Debt Free series</a> in which we discussed the event that woke us up to the fact we were in trouble.  As we&#8217;ll be starting to unveil the tools and resources we used to work our way out of debt, we thought it would be good to poll everyone (this is definitely optional), if you are willing to share, on just how much debt you have outside of your house.  Please don&#8217;t fear, the form is completely private, no one else will see it and we will simply use it to compile a quick graph of the overall statistics.  But please know, in no way, shape or form do you need to do this to be eligible to win.  However, we would love to know where you all stand as we strive to make 2012 a year to help you pay down your debt.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">This giveaway is now closed and is no longer allowing entries.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A few weeks&#8217; ago <a href="http://moneysavingmom.com/" target="_blank">Crystal from Money Saving Mom</a> contacted us and asked if we would like to review her new book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451646208/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thethrcou-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1451646208" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Money Saving Mom&#8217;s Budget</em></a>. Before we talk about her book, we want to talk about our personal experience with Crystal and her blog.  When we started our site, <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/about/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">we were nearing the end of paying off our $100K in consumer debt</a>.  In doing that we cut our expenses and creatively brought in extra income (just to name a couple of steps we took) without any outside resources &#8211; we didn&#8217;t even know money-saving sites even existed.  Shortly after we began our site one of the first blogs we came across was Crystal&#8217;s.  Two years later, she is still a blog that we enjoy and appreciate reading because she does share many of the same financial principles that we hold to and yet her financial story is a story that we hope our own children can have &#8211; that of having a debt-free and frugal life from the beginning and not experiencing all those financial woes that we know all too well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We enjoyed reading Crystal&#8217;s book.  She walks you through developing your finances by giving you seven rules to live by and breaking them down each month to help you work towards your goals.  She has very practical and common-sense advice that is very clear and understandable and easy to follow.  One tip that we loved and hope to try is the following tip:</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;"><em>Buy lean cut bottom round roast on sale and have it ground at the meat counter.  This makes excellent 90 percent to 95 percent lean ground beef and it&#8217;s usually quite a bit less tha you&#8217;d pay for high-quality ground beef.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451646208/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thethrcou-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1451646208" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">buy the book at Amazon on sale for $10.99</a> (down from $14) and all of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to <a href="http://compassion.net/" target="_blank">Compassion International</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: medium;"><strong>To celebrate Crystal&#8217;s new book, we are excited to give away five copies on our site!</strong></span></p>

<p>You know that we appreciate many of the health tips and advice that Dr. Oz shares and we have shared some of the things he recommends for less in the past.  Well we wanted to give you  a head&#8217;s up that today he is giving away 8,300 prizes.</p>
<p>How this works is that through 8:59 pm EST tonight, you can <a href="http://doctoroz.sharecare.com/" target="_blank">fill-out the Ultimate Health Quiz and qualify for a chance at one of 8,300 prizes</a>.  <a href="http://doctoroz.sharecare.com/" target="_blank">Fill-out the Quiz HERE</a> and we recommend doing this at the top of the hour as the prizes are awarded on a first-come basis each hour!</p>
<p>This is the total of the prizes to be given away today:</p>
<ul>
<li> 1,000 Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Gel Pillow ($69.99 value!)</li>
<li> 200 Vitamix 5200 Blender ($449 value!)</li>
<li>1,000 Philosophy The Microdelivery In-home Vitamin C Peptide Peel ($65 value!)</li>
<li>1,000 Healthy Foods Yonanas Maker ($49.99 value!)</li>
<li>1,000 Dogeared Transformation Nation: Million Dollar You necklace ($80 value!)</li>
<li>1,000 Peter Thomas Roth Dr. Oz Holiday Hot List Kit ($227 value!)</li>
<li>100 Sony Tablet S – 16 GB ($499.99 value!)</li>
<li> 500 BISSELL Healthy Home Vacuum® ($199 value!)</li>
<li>1,000 Nature’s Bounty Mini Softgels Premium Strength Fish Oil 1290mg – 90 count ($136 value!)</li>
<li>500 Reebok RealFlex Sneakers ($90 value!)</li>
<li>1,000 Starbucks gift cards ($50 value!)</li>
</ul>
<p>I personally would be happy winning any of them &#8211; but of course, I have been wanting a commercial blender (like the Vita Mix) for a couple of years now and just can&#8217;t seem to justify the expense yet.  My parents have had one for 20 years&#8230;.. so if I don&#8217;t win one today&#8230;. I guess I will just keep saving <img src='http://thethriftycouple.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>UPDATE: We just won 1 of the 200 Vitamixes!  We can&#8217;t believe it!  So yes, it can be done!  <img src='http://thethriftycouple.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-36526" title="we-won-dr-oz" src="http://thethriftycouple.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/we-won-dr-oz.png" alt="" width="400" height="269" /></p>
<h3>Head to the <a href="http://doctoroz.sharecare.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Oz site HERE</a> to enter for the giveaways today!</h3>
<p>And&#8230;.. as a side note, we hope to start posting the best deals we can find on the things he recommends again in January.  We posted some from the show this season, but once the holidays started hitting early last month &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t seem time to find an hour to watch the show in the day&#8230;such is life as busy money-saving mom <img src='http://thethriftycouple.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Oh &#8211; and Alex would much rather spend his free time reading&#8230;..</p>

<p>Congratulations to our winners!</p>
<ul>
<li>$100 Amazon Gift Card - Jamie (harrison.jamie@)</li>
<li>$25 Amazon Gift Card - Deb (deleefury@)</li>
<li>$25 Amazon Gift Card - Jamie (jamiepinkney7@)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Again, we hope you loved our monthlong giveaway party &#8211; please have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!</strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">This giveaway is now closed and is no longer allowing entries.</span></strong></p>
<p>This is really it!  This is the last giveaway &#8211; which means after its awarded we have given over $1,000 in cash over two days!!  Again, we want to extend a huge Thank You to <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=P7sxZDoGaLLA4Q7Jfii8og%3D%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ebates</a> for sponsoring this awesome giveaway!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s wrap up this giveaway in style by going for the best/worst (or anywhere in between) moment over the last few days.  Did you have one of those moments that you would love to share with us?  What do we mean?  Were you ecstatic over one deal you found?  Did you find something for less that seemed too good to be true?  Maybe you stood in line at Walmart for too long and came home swearing you would never do it again.  We just want to hear that one thing that will stick with you for a while &#8211; and it doesn&#8217;t even need to be deal related either.</p>
