Fun Fabulous Friday Is Here With a New Twist

August 5 by Alex 85 Comments

We can’t believe its August already!  Its amazing as it seemed like only yesterday I was shoveling snow off my sidewalk – ok, maybe it seems like it was last week.  But we also noticed that we are nearing the 2,000 Liker mark.  We thought we would mix this giveaway up a bit.  We are going to give away a gift card valued at……  1 cent per The Thrifty Couple liker on Facebook!

How does this work?  Well, if we end the day at 1,988 likers, then our awesome winner will get an Amazon gift card valued at $19.88.  If we end the day at 100,000 likers, then one of you will get an awesome $1,000.00 gift card (update: I had $100, but one of you is keeping us honest – note to self: don’t do math after midnight).  We know we’re really stretching on that one, but at least you know how we are playing the game.  🙂  As you can see, if you encourage more of your friends to become likers, then your potential prize keeps going up!

In addition to that mix up, we are going to continue to have fun with the entries.  I mean – we can’t make it too easy on you, can we?  You can get a maximum of two entries on this giveaway.  Make sure to leave a comment for each one.

  1. This is the “mandatory” entry.  We love getting your feedback so listen up.  This week we want to know of your thriftiest outdoor summer activity.  Our family loves hiking and/or playing Frisbee in the park.
  2. For your next entry, leave a second comment if you are a “liker” of The Thrifty Couple on Facebook.  Its not too late if you’re not a liker yet, just go to our page and click ‘Like’.  We also post extra deals and information on Facebook for our readers that you will not find on the site here.

This giveaway is for TODAY – Friday, Auguest 6th ONLY! It ends at 11:59 MDT tonight! The winner will be announced on Saturday!

    When the family is on trips we always try to find state parks to stop at have a picnic and some of them have trial you can hike. I would so recommend the natural cave in KY this was an wonderful site and it was all free.

    We have been thrifty camping this year. We bought a really old truck camper (1979) to put on the back of our truck & it was the same cost of a tent, except this has beds, a stove, sink, table, ice box and solid walls ceiling and door. We have 1 year old and 3 year old and tent camping wasn’t working or fun at all but now we feel safe and warm and we can go on vacation for free any time in a home away from home. We’ve had a blast this summer. We needed it before daddy goes back to school this fall.

    And I am a “liker” of the Thrifty Couple on FB today! Just found your site and it’s great!
    I hope I win a gift card! I want to start a preschool and I need some children’s folding tables & chairs. I found some on Amazon today that would be perfect but their not cheap and I haven’t found them anywhere else. Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank You.

    Swinging in the swing on the porch with my baby girl while my hubby throws the ball for the dog to chase. Makes my little one laugh so much.

    Our family loves to feed the ducks at a local pond. It is a great way to get rid the bread that has gone bad. After the ducks we play at the park.

    Most of the parks where we live have those splash pads that are free. We love going to the park, packing a picnic and letting our son run through the water and play on the toys!!

    We go on family walks before it gets dark so it’s nice and cool. We also work in the garden while the kids play on the swingset.

    Our family likes to have water gun battles outside. The best is to fill the guns up with ice cold water.
