The lovely people over at Plum District Boston gave me 10 $10 Plum District codes - yep.  $10 off any Plum District purchase!  There are a lot of great deals out there now.  This $10 code does not work on Steals, but they work on the Boston deals as well as the Everywhere deals.

Want one?  Oh, that's easy.  Just comment on my Facebook Page (either on this post or just on my wall or anywhere you can type on my page, saying "I love Plum District!")  You get bonus points if you tag Plum District or Plum District Boston (by bonus points, I mean, I'll just think you're extra cool.)

GIVEAWAY WINNER: $25 Target GC & $50 Restaurant.com GC (Thanks Plum District Boston)

Random.org picked lucky #5 for my recent Plum District Giveaway:  MaryAnne!

A big congratulations is in order for her!  Woohoo!

In case you haven't checked out MaryAnne's blog - you should:  www.mamasmiles.com

A big thanks to Plum District Boston for putting on this Giveaway!  In case you don't already "like" them on Facebook - you should.  They give away random $5 credits to those who comment and "like" things on their page.

GIVEAWAY: $25 Target GC AND $50 Restaurant.com GC (Thanks PLUM DISTRICT BOSTON)

Do you follow Plum District?  Well you should!  Plum District is a daily deal website that is focused on mother's and women alike.  What I personally think makes Plum District unique is that although they have their corporate headquarters in San Francisco, CA - they have little teams all over the country that represent that specific region.  The site features "Everywhere Deals" which are national chains and internet sites - and the specific regions pair up with local businesses to offer deals to their local readers.

Being near Boston - the women who represent Boston are fantastic!  Today's great Plum Deal is for $25, you get a $25 gift card to Target AND a $50 gift card to Restaurant.com.  Stellar, huh?  If you want to buy one now:  CLICK HERE TO DO SO.  

These gift cards will be mailed within 3 weeks.

Well anyways - I'm giving away a $25 Target and $50 Restaurant.com pack to one of my lucky readers courtesy of Plum District Boston.

You can have up to 3 chances to enter.  Leave a comment for each one.  Here they are:

1.  Comment by saying one place in the Boston area you would love (or have loved) having a daily deal from.  


2.  "Like" Plum District Boston on Facebook.


3.  "Follow" Plum District Boston on Twitter.

A random winner will be drawn on Monday, December 19th.

If you don't have an email attached to your Blogger account, please leave one in your comment.

Thanks for reading and GOOD LUCK!

Testing Chicken - Thanks Zaycon Foods!

, gi

This great company out of WA state contacted me a while ago to test some chicken for them.  Chicken?  Yes!  Chicken!  What person doesn't like chicken?  Let me give you a little background about this company:  Zaycon Foods.

Zaycon Foods was founded in 2009 to bring fresh meats and other products direct to consumers at wholesale prices. The founders have extensive experience in sales, business management and the grocery industry


So what does this mean?  I'll give you the basics:  You order bulk food from Zaycon.  Zaycon has events set up in different towns and cities - so when you place your order, you'll have to go to your event to pick it up.  Say you live in Hingham.  You place an order - and next month, they might be having their event at a parking lot somewhere in Hingham on the second Saturday of the month from say 9am-12pm and you go there to pick up your pre-paid order.  Kind of like a CSA.  Only - you're dealing in bulk - and mostly meat:  chicken, beef, turkey, pork and fish.  Different areas offer different products. 
 
Right now, Zaycon has events in WA, OR, ID, AZ, & TX.  They have 17 more states slated for testing in 2011 and the future. 
 
You might be saying, "But Becky - you live in MA!  Why are you telling me all of this?"  Well Zaycon just delivered 40 lbs of fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breast for me to test out on Friday.  40 lbs is the quantity of boneless, skinless chicken breast they sell.  Currently, this box of chicken goes for about $65 - or about $1.59/lbs.  GREAT DEAL!  Remember though:  Prices fluctuate and these prices are no way a guarantee of anything - things change, markets change, chickens go on strike - so you never know what the actual price may be.  I'm just giving you a current price point so you can see the value in a service like this.  The chicken is not deemed "organic" - but it is 100% natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients



I tried the chicken for the first time last night - and it was fabulous!  I cooked my portion on my trusty George Foreman Grill and I was not disappointed at all.  The chicken was moist and tender.  Absolutely divine!  I'm not just saying that.  It really was good.
 
Zaycon is thinking of testing the Boston area market this fall with this unique service.  So that is why I am telling you this.  Would you be interested in a service like this in the Boston area? 
 
If you were to purchase something like this - you would have to set aside about an hour after you get the chicken for prep.  And have a lot of ziploc baggies on hand!  I personally made up about 25 1-lbs packages and 3 5-lbs "party" packages with my chicken.  I always weigh my meat into portions before freezing - whether I buy it at the grocery store or some other outlet so this was pretty easy for me.  I just never dealt with 40 lbs before.  I think the most I ever did was 10 lbs of meat. 
 
Check out the Zaycon website for more information!  I'll also inform you later on in the fall when they will be testing out the Boston market and all the info you might need to place an order.  Oh and psst....I MAY be doing a Chicken Giveaway in the fall with this information - so keep your eyes peeled! 
So once again - I would love to hear your comments about this type of service!  Or if you are a person who has actually used the Zaycon service in another part of the country and would like to share your comments and experience, I'd love to hear them as well! 

Facebook Giveaway: 3 Free Rentals at Blockbuster Express!

I'm trying something new - giving away 3 free rentals at Blockbuster Express through my Facebook page. 

It's easy.  Go to my Facebook page.  See my recent post.  Comment on it.  I don't care what you write.  "Likes" don't count and comments on this blog post don't count either.  Tomorrow I'll pick a winner. 

What?  You don't "like" my Facebook Page?  It's okay.  I don't mind.  Here's the link:  Bargain Becky

Why the giveaway you ask?  I bought that Groupon a few weeks ago.  It was 5 rentals for $2.  I thought "Great!  There is a Blockbuster kiosk about 2 blocks away."  Well we walked up to get our movies - and it was gone!  Then I went to the other store that had one about 1/4 mile away.  It was gone.  Long story short - the closest Blockbuster Express to me is now 6 miles away.  I'm not driving that far to get a free movie.  Why Blockbuster took kiosks out of my town is beyond me. 

Giveaway Winner: Congratulations # 13 (Wow - it IS a lucky number!)

Many thanks to all who entered my $50 Pampers Pay-It-Forward Giveaway!  All of your answers were just phenomenal and it shows that we have many generous readers would would do a lot of great things with a "free" $50!

I put the entries in Random.org - and Lucky #13 was the winner!  Celeste was the 13th comment - so many thanks to her.  She plans on donating to the gift card to a 2 week old baby who was just diagnosed with spinal meningitis. 

I will try to contact you Celeste via your email - or you would like, you can contact me at bbinnewengland@gmail.com

Again, thank you very much for your participation and check out Pampers on Facebook to see how they plan on making miracles all over the country with the help of complete strangers! 

My $50 Gift Basket - Pampers Miracle Mission Giveaway

Two days ago, I posted a giveaway on my blog.  A lucky winner will win a $50 gift card to "Pay It Forward" with Pampers Miracle Missions campaign.  Part of this giveaway included Pampers giving me a $50 gift card to see how creative I can be with "Paying It Forward."  I'm also giving away a $50 gift card to one of my lucky readers to "Pay it Forward."  CLICK HERE TO ENTER!

I contacted a local Army National Guard unit that recently deployed to Afghanistan.  A woman, whose husband is serving and is currently deployed, had a baby about a month ago.  Tomorrow, I'm going to be giving her a gift basket, but I wanted to share how I maximized this gift.

Basket - FREE!  From my attic.  Probably would have dropped at least $8 on a basket if I needed to buy one.  A secret to scoring cheap baskets (if you are a gift basket person) is to hit up garage sales.  Most of them have a plethora of baskets ready to be scooped up.  This particular basket I used was my Grandmother's.  She passed away last March and I "inheritted" a lot of her worldly posessions.  She was very fond of my two sons - being as they were her only great-grandchildren.  As cheezy as it may sound, I think she would like to know that one of her "treasures" is being used for something of this nature. 



Secrets to Savings:

-  The Dollar Tree is my go-to store for greeting cards.  At .50 cents each, every day, how can you go wrong?  They aren't even really all that cheezy - well okay, some are - but there are some great ones there too.  Plus, a lot of people just throw greeting cards away.  It's also a great place if you need a few quick balloons. 

-  I am not a huge Walmart fan.  Call me snobby, call me ignorant, but whatever - the Walmarts around me are kind of gross and the lines are always long.  But with two days notice of getting this gift basket put together - it was my one stop shop for all things baby. 

-  Bath & Body Works gives out some great coupons.  I got a coupon for a Free Product in the mail (up to $5) about a month ago.  So I went in about 2 weeks ago to get my free bottle of body wash.  The lady who cashed me out (a big fat $0!) gave me this awesome coupon that I got today.  1 Free Signature Product (up to $12) with any $10 or more purchase.  HELLO!  If you buy the bare minimum, that is a savings of over 50%!  Craziness I tell you!  I scored the same coupon today with my purchase.  I'm going to be one hot smelling babe this summer!

-  I wrote about my $10 JCP coupon 2 weeks ago.  Yeah, my intentions were to buy myself some new hand towels or a soap dish for practically nothing - but I think buying two little outfits for a wee little one is a better investment.  Call me a softy.  I'm not going to argue dropping $1.98 on two little summer outfits.  Plus - I usually hate baby clothes with words on them - but I couldn't pass up the "Daddy Is My Hero" outfit. 

-  My total worth value is taking all the pre-sale prices and the proposed $8 I would have spent on a basket had I not "recycled" one from my collection.  I think it's actually over $100 if you take into account my savings on the ballon and greeting card purchased at the Dollar Tree vs. CVS or another chain store.  Greeting cards are outrageous these days! 

So again - think you can be creative with a "free" $50 to "do something good with?"  Go to THIS BLOG POST to post a comment on how YOU would "Pay It Forward" with $50. 

Giveaway: $50 Gift Card for Pampers Miracle Missions

I'm not usually a real lovey-dovey person - but it's kind of nice to do nice and unexpected things for unsuspecting people.  So I'm very grateful to Pampers.  They gave me a $50 American Express Gift Card to do a "random act of kindness to celebrate a little miracle within my community" as part of their Miracle Missions campaign.  The options were endless - buying diapers for a family who could use them, use the money to prepare meals for a family, or even use the money to host a larger fundraiser for a family.  And those are just 3 examples of what I could do. 

I did go back and forth about a couple different ideas I brainstormed to use to this $50 to benefit an unsuspecting family or group.  For those who do not know, my husband is in the National Guard.  He's currently in a training program and will be for the next year and a half.  However, the unit that he'll be assigned to once this long training is over, just deployed about a month ago.  They'll be in Afghanistan for about a year and will come back shortly before my husband transfers to this unit.   

Being as it's the season of Mother's Day, I called the unit to see if there are any new mothers or soon-to-be new mothers of husbands that are deployed.  Low and behold - a wife just had a baby a month ago!  I don't have all the details of whether or not her husband was still here to be with her when her son was born, but can you imagine being a first time mother and having your husband ship out for a year?  So many men in this country are blessed with paternity leave, or even a few weeks vacation after their wives have babies.  Some men, are not.  Some of us (yes, me included!) get frustrated or upset when our husbands are running late from work because our babies/children wore us out all day - but imagine not having your husband come home for an entire year?  I personally, probably would have gone nuts if my husband was gone for the entire first year of my first born's life. 

Being a prior military member myself and having a husband in the National Guard - I understand a little how frustrating military life can be for new moms.  So after much thought - I decided that I'm going to be making up a gift basket for this new mom for Mother's Day with my $50 from Pampers.  I can't think of many other mothers who deserve this as much as this lady.  Sure, it doesn't make the sadness of her husband missing her first Mother's Day as a mom go away, but maybe it will put a little smile on her face to know that a complete stranger thought of her and said "Thank you for your dedication to our country - Happy Mother's Day!".  She may not be in the Army herself, but she has to make sacrifices that a lot of us never do. 

Everyone can easily participate in a small way by logging on to Pampers Facebook page by hitting ‘like’ and then going to the Miracle Missions tab and committing to Mission 1 by clicking “I Want To Pledge.”  Once more than 2,500 people pledge, Pampers will respond by giving baby showers to expectant mothers nationwide just in time for Mother’s Day.   As a side note, anyone who pledges is automatically entered to win a year’s supply worth of Pampers diapers and wipes (and that can definitely help someone in a big way!).

***BONUS***   Pampers will give one of my lucky readers a $50 American Express gift card to do whatever you see fit to benefit your community.  Again, it can be as simple as buying $50 worth of groceries to donate to your food bank or it can be as creative as your imagination takes you.  It can benefit a single person or a group.  Again - there are no limits of how to spread your generosity. 

To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment about how you would spend your $50 to "pay-it-forward" or deliver your  random act of kindness.  This giveaway closes at Midnight EST on Thursday May 12th and I will pick a winner on Friday May 13.  I will delete any comments that appear to be spam or do not state how you would use the $50.  If your Blogger profile does not contain your email address, please leave it in the comment as well so I can contact you if you are the winner.  One entry per person.  Duplicate comments will be deleted. 

Many thanks to Pampers for this awesome Miracles Missions campaign!  For more information about this campaign, you can watch their video here below (it's only a minute - and you'll be so happy you did!):

Cover Your Hair: Review & Giveaway

I was recently fortunate enough to sample a product from a great little company called "Cover Your Hair".  You can find them online at http://www.coveryourhair.com/.  I'm not really a big "head gear" person, but after looking at their site for a while, I wish I was!  They have tons of unique pieces including belts, bandanas, headbands, tichels, snoods, turbans, chappones, etc. etc.  Being a bargain hunter, I have to say, the prices on the site are fantastic!  I have a few relatives who are teenage girls and these products would make perfect gifts for them.  Cover Your Hair is currently offering $1 shipping, however, I do not know how long this deal is good for (So hurry!  Go buy something from them NOW!) 

If you are a housewife and reading this, you will see how Cover Your Hair can change your daily look.  Take a look of my before and after pictures...

BEFORE

Bitches on a Budget - A Shout Out, A Review & a Giveaway

So about a month or two ago, a friend of mine posted a link to a Fan Page on Facebook called "Bitches on a Budget."  Ha ha ha ha.  I joined - for no other reason than I loved the name.  The group is currently up to over 50,000 fans!  Click HERE to see it and join!  Little did I know, it was a fan page for a book that recently came out and a blog that is out there (http://www.bitchesonabudget.com/).  And what did this Facebook marketing do?  It made me run out and buy the book.  I'm such a sucker sometimes.

Every Saturday, Bitches on a Budget features a person who gives back.  I wrote a little comment about how I like giving blood because it's free and good and all that jazz.  Little did I know, it was chosen to be highlighted this past Saturday.  No seriously.  Click HERE to check it out yourself.  (And you can see that in reality, I do not look like a possessed Barbie doll). 

Bitches on a Budget, written by Rosalyn Hoffman is an extremely witty take on how a pure bitch can survive during economic crisis.  If you lack a sense of humor, this book is not for you.  It reiterates basic strategies to save money and honestly, just tries to get people living in the money clouds back down to reality.  Simple things like drive your car until it doesn't run anymore.  If you don't have money to spend, go to the mall but leave your credit cards at home and bring just enough money for a cup of coffee.  Find fun (FREE!) things to do at home.  How to keep yourself looking like a proper bitch without spending a ton of money.  As well as a ton of other money saving strategies.  If you need a good laugh and/or a few savings tips - go to Amazon (or your local bookstore) and pick up this book. 

But wait!  I like this book so much that I'm going to give one away to my readers.  The entry is simple - tell me How or Why You Are a Bitch on a Budget by answering this in a form of a comment on this blog post.  I don't care if you follow me here, Facebook or Twitter.  One entry per person.  I'll delete spam and multiple entries.  This giveaway will end Sunday 2/28/10.  I'll pick a winner through Random.org on March 1st and tell the world. 

Again, check out Bitches on a Budget's Blog - HERE, On Facebook HERE, On Twitter HERE.
And me.  Well I can be found here.  Or on Facebook HERE, or on Twitter HERE.

Good Luck!

No Friendly's Gift Card - Sorry to my readers!

I just wanted to mention that I haven't received the gift card for the Friendly's Gift Card giveaway - so I apologize to the winner, Patty and everyone else who took time to enter the contest.  I was approached with the giveaway November 18th.  Launched it the 23rd and announced the winner on the 28th.  I contacted them about not getting it on 12/7 and was told it would be mailed out the next day (December 8th).  Still nothing.  I just don't have the time or energy to keep pushing the issue.  So here I am, just complaining on my blog.

Just wanted to mention that my other giveaways were a success (P&G, Nature's Path and the BMC Halloween Town tickets).  For that, I thank those companies for following through.  Giveaways are kind of time consuming in their own way - for both myself and the people who comment to enter.  So my deepest apologies.  I'm not really a big "giveaway" blogger as this is just a random blog that I do for fun - but at least now I know that I'll be more cautious in the future.  Thought Friendly's would have pulled through.  My mistake.  Sorry again Patty and whoever may be reading this!

Friendly's Gift Card Winner!

Congratualtions to Patty (lucky #5!) who loves Vienna Mocha Chunk!  You won a $10 gift card to Friendly's! 

Thanks to all who played - and many thanks to Friendly's for putting on this promo!  Remember - if in doubt about Christmas gifts, give the gift of ice cream!  Friendly's is having a promo at their stores right now.  Buy a $25 gift card, get a bonus $5 gift card for free!  Check them out!  This promo is going on until 1/3/10.
