Giveaways – Freebies, Free trials, Free offers

The winners were Amber O and Mindi O.

I have a bunch of cool things to tell you about Michael’s stores PLUS an awesome giveaway for 2 readers to win a $50 Michael’s gift card!

First, I wanted to remind you that there are some great Michael’s coupons this week including 50% off one regularly priced item.  You can print that coupon, text it to your phone or download the free Michael’s app to use it in store.

Another cool thing is starting today (April 8th) Michael’s is launching their Best Deals Ever sale.

They have all sorts of fantastic deals like photo boxes for just $1.40 each or open stock paper for $.12 each.

They also have plain cotton t-shirts for $1.97 (from $3.99).

I need to stop in for the craft punches starting at $1.57 and they have Crayola art supplies for 40% off this week! Wilton candy melts are $1.97- I will have a post coming soon with fun chocolate covered Oreos for party favors using these yummy little things.

And I also wanted to mention these scrapbook cases are only $2.88!!  I like these to hold Legos and Barbies and other little things for the kiddos.

So head over to Michael’s to check out the Best Deal Ever ad and in addition to the sales you will find  featured craft projects with step-by-step instructions and materials list, in-store event information and you can even sign up for text alerts or emails to receive more special offers, deals and inspiration from Michaels.

******

AND Michael’s has very generously provided a $50 gift card for (2) lucky readers!!  With prices this low I think that $50.00 could really stretch for a lot of craft supplies or toys and games for the kiddos.

The giveaway has closed.  The winners was Serena!

is already April so I have another giveaway for those of you with Grocery Outlet stores nearby.

I wanted to get this posted today because there are some great deals in the current ad and some of you might be able to make a quick stop to take advantage. (The ad starts today, April 3rd).

I was hoping to get myself over to Grocery Outlet over the weekend to show you the cool stuff I usually find but my baby girl fractured her knee Friday and most of the weekend plans went right out the window. (Needless to say we will not be going back to the trampoline place in our city again.)

Here are some of the deals I am excited about:

• Jamba Juice Frozen Bars 4pk $1.50
• Buy One Get One Free Organic Kettle Chips- $1.99/2
• Tillamook Shredded Cheese 8oz $1.49
• Apple & Eve Lemonade $.50
• Fingerling Potatoes 1.5lbs $1.99
• Navel Oranges 8lbs $3.99

So I am planning to stop by this afternoon to pick up a few things.  One thing I have been getting the past few weeks is Hillshire Farms lunchmeat for $1.49 per pack.  Each store has different products but make sure to check out the deli cases at your store as there are usually some really great deals there.

You can find your local Grocery Outlet ad for the week here.  Register for emails and they will send you the new ads as well as coupons to make the deals even better!

And if you want to win one of (2) $25 Grocery Outlet gift cards just click below to enter to win.

For a bonus entry: check the box letting me know if you are a fan of My Frugal Adventures on Facebook or if you subscribe to MFA via email or if you are a follower over on Pinterest! (One or the other is fine, no need to do all!)

This giveaway ends on April 6th at 4pm PST.  The winner will be notified via email and will have 72 hours to respond or alternate winners will be selected.

Just a reminder that Grocery Outlet has tons of deeply discounted merchandise and things change all the time.  They buy up lots of product when packages change or new varieties are introduced or when other retailers just can’t sell the merchandise they buy.  There is nothing wrong with the products but you do want to pay close attention to expiration dates before you stock up on anything. 

 Disclosure: Grocery Outlet sponsored this giveaway post.  Thank you Grocery Outlet!

And the winner is Anastasia!

I have two awesome things to tell you about today but you have to hurry because one of them ends tomorrow.

Have you had your eye on a Silhouette machine?  These little things can do so many fun crafts to make your gifts and your home really unique and beautiful.

Here are just a few of the nifty projects that a Silhouette can do:

Vinyl projects, rhinestones, heat transfer for fabric, etching for glass, paper projects, custom cards, labels, artwork and so much more!

The portrait is a newer and more compact version of the Silhouette Cameo.

Right now Silhouette is offering a special promotion for $179 you can get:

• A portrait machine for all your projects
• The designer edition software

OR if you want to the big boy  for $269 you can get:

• A Cameo machine 
• Plus the designer edition software 

You can head over here to Silhouette America to get more details and place your order.  You have to move it, move it though because the sale ends March 8th!

OR if you already have one of these machines you can upgrade to the Designer Edition Software for 50% off right now- get it for $24.99 instead of the regular $49.99. You will want to use coupon code: FRUGAL at checkout.

The software is a must if you are interested in the rhinestone features in particular.  It also allows you to do all sorts of cool things- you can see the differences listed out here.

There are lots of other little fun things to play with- here is something I just did.  We used to have a little jar in the laundry room for our dog treats.  I have been freshening things up for spring and I decided to update the little jar.

**This giveaway is now closed.

I was super excited at Grocery Outlet this month because I got an amazing deal on Body Shop products of all things!

I happen to be a Body Shop addict and the products can be pretty darn pricey.   I actually stopped by to get the great deal on Tillamook cheese that was in the ad running through March 3rd.

Tillamook sliced cheese 2lbs is $5.99 with printable coupon.  That is a fantastic price.  Well my store was out but not to worry I found tons of other great deals.

So my favorite spot to check is the health and beauty aisles.  Sometimes Grocery Outlet gets things from Canada and I have seen products at huge, huge discounts and stuff you can’t find in the US.  (Like cool Nivea stuff).

This time around though I was shocked to see Body Shop Body Butter for $3.99.  Now I use body butter each and every night and it is $20 at Body Shop.  So this is 80% off the regular price!

I snatched a few up and here are a few other things I found:

Fresh Salsa $1.99
Tillamook Cheese Squares $1.99
Immaculate baking Company Whole Grain cookies $1.99
Immaculate Baking Company Scones $1.99
2 Body Shop Body Butter $3.99
Tillamook Jack Cheese $2.49
Girls Hair Barrettes $.99
(2) Boxes Freezer Bags $.99 each
Tostitos Southwestern Dip $1.99 (this will be good on chicken tacos next week)
- not pictured 1 gallon milk $2.99
Subtotal $26.38 and in the mail I received a $5 off coupon
Final Price: $21.38

So can you believe I got 2 bags of groceries for basically the same price as one of those Body Butters? Yeah!  Those Immaculate baking items are normally really expensive.  My local grocery store has those items for about $5 so that was a real steal.

Just a reminder that Grocery Outlet has tons of deeply discounted merchandise and things change all the time.  They buy up lots of product when packages change or new varieties are introduced or when other retailers just can’t sell the merchandise they buy.  There is nothing wrong with the products but you do want to pay close attention to expiration dates before you stock up on anything. 

AND if you want a chance to win one of (2) $25 Grocery Outlet gift cards, just leave a comment below and let me know what your favorite bargain was this week.  (From your own shopping trips- or if you skipped the stores that is OK too!)

For a bonus entry: leave a second comment letting me know if you are a fan of My Frugal Adventures on Facebook or if you subscribe to MFA via email or if you are a follower over on Pinterest! (Just one is fine- no need to do all).

The giveaway ends on Wednesday 6th at 4pm PST.

Good Luck!

Both winners should have an email from me!

I stopped back over at the Grocery Outlet this week and found some great deals.

I’ll tell you all about my deals below and then if you want to check out your local Grocery Outlet store, you can enter to win a $25 gift card below.  There are actually two winners for this one and since the Grocery Outlet is a West Coast chain, you have a great chance of winning one of these!

Here is what I found this week:

Green Works 65ct tub of wipes $2.99
Cascade 110ct tub $11.99 (I usually pay about $12 for 85ct on Amazon or at Costco)
Case of Kashi Waffles $7.99- this is 6 boxes so like paying $1.33 for a standard box!
Jamba Juice Greek Smoothie Mix $6.99- this makes 10 smoothies- so $.69 each.
2pk Children’s Toothbrushes $.99
2 boxes Mickey Bandaids $.99
Minnie and Mickey Cookies $.99
Milton’s Multigrain Crackers $1.99
Amy’s Spinach Pizza $4.99

Grand total was $43.47

So that isn’t bad at all because I normally pay a lot more for dish soap and the waffles alone I usually pay $2 per box for Van’s.

You can find a Grocery Outlet location near you here- they are mostly in CA, AZ, NV, ID, OR and WA.

You can check out your store’s local ad here.  This week there are some good deals on cookie dough, Weight Watchers ice cream, Jif Peanut Butter and more.

Just a reminder that Grocery Outlet has tons of deeply discounted merchandise and things change all the time.  They buy up lots of product when packages change or new varieties are introduced or when other retailers just can’t sell the merchandise they buy.  There is nothing wrong with the products but you do want to pay close attention to expiration dates before you stock up on anything. 

AND if you want a chance to win one of (2) $25 Grocery Outlet gift cards, just leave a comment below and let me know what your favorite bargain was this week.  I was pretty delighted with those waffles myself.

For a bonus entry: leave a second comment letting me know if you are a fan of My Frugal Adventures on Facebook or if you subscribe to MFA via email or if you are a follower over on Pinterest! (Just one is fine- no need to do all).

The giveaway ends on Wednesday 13th at 4pm PST.

Good Luck!
