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.
- 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.
- 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!

We decided not to take a family vacation this summer. Instead we bought one of those $99 pools from Target (using a bunch of gift cards!). We are staying home, playing in the pool and just enjoying being a family. Staycations can be fun too!

Our summer thrifty idea is to buy a membership to the zoo every year, but take your own picnic lunch! The initial cost is there, but after that, basically a free, fun day!

Our favorite is also hiking. To be original, we also enjoy Costco for the free samples and walking around the air conditioned mall with full intentions of only getting a free Auntie Anne’s pretzel (with coupon).

Our thrifty summer activity is going to the library! We can get books, read, look through magazines, enjoy the weekly presentations, see puppet shows and all of it is for FREE!

This summer I took my son to our neighbors pool. We were told we could come as much as we wanted. Instead of paying for swimming lessons, I was able to teach my son how to swim. He would rather swim than anything esle. Worked out great and we saved alot of money!

We love stargazing in the summer time. It’s fun to talk and enjoy the cool of the night while looking for satellites, shooting stars, and constellations. 🙂
