As a member of the Sacramento branch of MomsLikeMe.com I get to chat with, share and learn from other local moms. One of the cool things about the site is the local giveaways and chat parties they host for their readers. I wanted to share a few up coming things happening for Sacramento Moms Like Me Moms.
The first is the Facebook contest. Moms can “like” our page (http://www.facebook.com/Momslikeme.comSacramento) for a chance to win a spa getaway at Wine and Roses Hotel in Lodi worth nearly $1,000. Users who share the contest with friends can earn extra entries and increase their chances of winning. That contest runs till September 9.
Moms who are interested in learning new and creative ways to save money can come to the Thrifty Chicks Breakfast on August 30. The panel includes Sarah Cook of Raising CEO Kids, Kimberly Morales of Poor Girl Eats Well and our own Cheryle Roberts your Web deal diva! The event is FREE. Sacramento Moms Like Me would love to have you attend if you can. RSVP here: http://thriftychicks.eventbrite.com/
I have entered the giveaway for the spa getaway I sure could use some ME time! Oddly we have not had a "date" night or whatever you wanna call it since my son was born, about 20 months ago. We laugh and say we had 10 years of date nights every night so were good, but it would be nice to enjoy some time to just hang out with my hubs.
I super duper have my fingers crossed about The Thrifty Chicks Breakfast that I might attend. Its been a whirl wind trying to figure out car issues and its prevented me from doing fun stuff for now. But soon I hope to be able to meet some of the great Moms from Moms Like Me Sacramento. You don't have to exactly be from Sacramento it self either Moms from around the area can be members of this free and fun site too!
I have found being a Frugal Mama has helped me to appreciate the things I do get to buy. Before my son I would buy whatever and not think of how much I spent or if I really needed it. Now when I want to buy something I always check for coupons, promo codes and even rebates. This has saved me so much money over the last almost 2 years (yikes my son is almost 2 that's a whole different post!).
One of the best ways I save money is shopping online using promo codes for things like free shipping, percentage off or free items with purchase. I am never happy to pay high shipping prices, I know its necessary, (at least until they invent the replicator like on Star Trek) but it irks me to pay more to ship something than my purchase. So I get excited when I find free shipping codes.
Here are a few promo codes I found today:
Disney Halloween Shop use code TREAT to get free shipping on any Halloween store item. Valid until Aug 26th.
Champs Sports use code EMCHV898 to get 20% off your online purchase no minimum required (in the 4th step of checkout) Valid until Aug 22
Carter's use code SAVEEXTRA to get 20% off your online purchase, excludes furniture. Valid until Aug 22
I am a sweeps nuts! I win sometimes so it keeps me entering them. When I find good ones I love to post them here to share with everyone.
Here are a few I found today:
Better Homes and Garden Sweepstakes for A Room Makeover. Fill out the form, send a pic of your room and tell them why you need a makeover for your room.
Before I had my son I liked V-Tech. They always have cool toys that teach. As a kid we had a Speak and Say that we thought was awesome. Well now technology for kids toys have improved leaps and bounds! My son has many V-Tech toys and his favorite is the Cooking toy is Auntie Sam bought him for his bday. He cooks up mini meals and tries to get me to eat them.
The newest cool toy Inno Tab The Learning App by V-Tech is one that will be on our Christmas list. The InnoTab The Learning App Tablet is coming soon and can be pre-ordered to make sure you have it for your child for the holidays. I know my son is always wanting to push buttons and play with techy stuff. A tab like this would allow him to play and have fun without me worrying he will erase or break something on mine. This is for ages a bit older than him but I know he would still love to have one. I thought of my nephew when I read about the product.
