Dear Diary
Brandsampler is offering free samples once again so if you want in on these ya better hurry. I regularly get these samples and they are great. Many of them are travel size so great for taking along on a holiday. Or with the holidays coming up you could gift them and use them as stocking stuffers. Many of the samples also come with coupons so that's another bonus. And these samples are also a way to try out new products for free.

Dear Diary,
I bet you're starting to wonder if I'm still alive and kicking, right? Well I am! Just finding it hard these days to talk to you on a regular basis. But I'm here today with an offer you just can't pass up. Right now at Save.ca there's a coupon to be had for a free pack of Stayfree; yes you heard me right a free pack. And while you're there you can pick up some other coupons as well.

The Multiplication Factor & Frugal Transportation
Dear Diary,
I just biked home from the gym and of course I cycled there as well this morning. I've been doing this for quite some time now, since the weather has been ideal for cycling. In the winter and on really rainy & stormy days I do take the bus, but each day I cycle I end up saving myself roughly $4 for each 2 way trip. And I kind of like that. Since I generally go to the gym 3x per week, that's about $12 in savings if I cycle. I know that $2 for each bus ride is not a lot, but when you get into multiplying, it sure adds up pretty quickly. And if I end up cycling for roughly 8 months of the year, that's a savings of approximately $384 per year. You see what I'm getting at? Those $2 turn into several dollars over the course of a year! I'm not suggesting you should ride a bike or do anything like that, but I just wanted to make you aware of how spending a couple of bucks here and there really adds up. And if you find you are short on money, you might want to look into where you're spending your hard earned cash here and there and everywhere. And if you want to ride your bike, by all means go for it. It's not only frugal it's healthy too! And good health is something that's important to me. But more on that subject at a later date!
Cheers

Free Tylenol Rapid Release from Living Well
Dear Diary,
I don't believe I told you that I went camping for a few days and it was a lot of fun. I had no hydro and kind of missed my connection to my online life, but being absent from it kind gave me a much needed break from it at the same time if that makes any sense to you. Now I'm feeling all refreshed and viewing things a little differently. Little breaks tend to do that you know, well at least for me they do. Oh and by the way, camping is a fairly frugal way to give yourself a little break from Life you know! Anyhow I digress. If you're a Tylenol user, Living Well is currently offering free samples of Tylenol Rapid Release. But if you want some you better hurry, cause supplies are limited.

Free Sample of Reactine
Good Morning Dear Diary,
Not too much time to chat cause I'm off to the gym for most of the morning. It will be a morning of Fusion Flow, Calisthenics, Elliptical & Weight Training! But anyhow the reason I'm chatting is because there is a free sample of Reactine from Living Well available for a limited time. So if you or someone in your family suffers from allergies whether seasonal or year round, you may want to order this one before it runs out. I know in our family there are a few seasonal allergy sufferers and unfortunately I happen to be one of them. Although I prefer to take the natural route when it comes to treating allergies and I'd rather not take anything for it, there are times when I just gotta take something. And allergy meds can get expensive especially if there is more than 1 sufferer in the family. So I'd jump on this one if I were you cause in my books free is good!

Plant a tree & a chance to win
Dear Diary,
Thought I would take a moment of my busy day to tell you about something before it's too late. But before I do, just wanted to put a thought in your head. Did you ever think that being frugal is also good for the environment? Well it is, cause when you're frugal or cheap as some may call you (but for the record, I definitely wouldn't call myself cheap) you tend to reuse and recycle things to get more mileage out of them and you also tend to pay attention to your utility usage. So by being frugal you're also looking after the environment and that is a good thing! Speaking of good things, the folks at Jamieson Vitamins are planting trees and giving away a weekly vitamin pack to someone who shares their tree planting story with them. I should know cause I recently won an awesome vitamin pack from them. This offer is ending soon but even if you don't win the weekly vitamin pack, I believe everyone wins when trees are planted. By the way you can also like them on Facebook and I believe a vitamin pack will be given away there as well.

Blame it all on Twitter & Free 4 Gals
Dear Diary,
If you've been wondering why I've been neglecting you, you can blame it on Twitter. You see one thing about Twitter is that it's a happening place and it's interactive and you dear diary are not. You never answer me or say what you have to say, so frankly kind a getting tired of these one way conversations if you know what I mean. And to be honest, I'm not even sure, if you take any of my advice, which does take time to tell you by the way. Life is short and time is precious, so if I'm not here, you will find me on Twitter @dmhaen.
But don't worry, I'm not throwing in the towel yet and I will come and chat with you from time to time even though like I said, our conversations are one way ahem. By the way here's another freebie if you're a gal that is; you won't be needing this if you're a guy. It's a new Kotex product and the sample is being offered by Walmart Canada.
And like I said if you're missing me when I'm not here, you can always catch me on Twitter @dmhaen

Bzzing About Danone DanActive
Good Morning Dear Diary,
I was supposed to be off to my housekeeping gig this morning but that changed; well that's life I guess. So here I am blogging away. But this morning I'm gonna blog & bzz at the same time.
If you've been following me you know I'm a BzzAgent and if you haven't well I guess I'm telling you something new. Anyhow as a BzzAgent I get the opportunity to try new products and Bzz about them.
This time around I was given the chance to Bzz about Danone DanActive which is a probiotic drinkable yogurt. What's different about this drinkable yogurt is that it contains active probiotic culture which helps to strengthen your body's natural defenses against the nasty bugs that are lingering out there. In fact there are 10 billion friendly bacteria in each and every bottle, so drinking this stuff is a good way to help your body fight against the harmful stuff that's out there.
But the best part about this yogurt drink is that it tastes good and it's a convenient way to have a healthy snack. Great for packing in kids & adult lunches, or for a snack on the run. And the flavours are yummy too; cranberry & raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, blueberry & strawberry, and pomegranate berry & blueberry. And if you're wondering about calories; each bottle contains 80 calories and less than 2 % fat per portion.
As a BzzAgent, I was given coupons to hand out to family & friends. But I can't really give you any Dear Diary, cause that would mean I have to send them to you and that wouldn't be very frugal now would it. But I can give you something and that something is a chance to win a year's supply of DanActive. All you have to do for this chance to win is post a comment on this blog and then email me for a pin code (while supplies last). When you get the pin code, you can enter the contest at www.danactive-promo.ca There is a limit of 1 entry per person and you can enter up until May 30, 2010.
Well enough said,

Do you like ice cream? I sure do though I can't have any right now cause I'm giving up sweet treats and chocolate for 40 days. So I'll have to wait. Anyhow a new ice cream parlour opened up in my neck of the woods not too long ago, called Marble Slab Creamery I've heard their ice cream is to die for although honestly I haven't been there yet. It is on my "Bucket List", once my 40 days have passed. Anyhow on Twitter I came across this Tweet from MSC Marble Slab Creamery and you can sign up for their Marble Mail. I imagine they'll have special offers and maybe even coupons for their newsletter members. So if you're a fan of this place and even if you're not yet a fan, you might want to check it out. I did!
Even though I'm frugal I still enjoy an ice cream now and again.

Free Movie, Scene Card & Twitter wins
Dear Diary,
I went to the movies the other night and let me tell you that doesn't happen very often around here. Going to the movies just isn't a frugal thing unless you get to go for free. Well that's exactly what happened. You see we have this scene card and it's a good thing to have if you like to go to movies. We've seen a few movies for free because of having this card. Well this week Scene members could go and see The Hangover for free which we did and they also gave us free popcorn. With the card you accumulate points when you go to movies so you can eventually see a movie for free and you also get a discount on concession purchases. So why not check it out? If you really like to go to the movies, this is the card to have!
Enough of that!
This week I won a couple of prizes through Twitter ; a Benefit Crescent Row Eau de Toilette from @slicedotca & a Liberte prize from @naturallysavvy
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself twittering & tweeting but here I am doing just that. Twitter is pretty amazing and offers a wealth of knowledge on pretty much anything and that's where it's at.

Free Join the Dolphin Club
Dear Diary,
Just came back from getting my hair cut & highlighted. I know, I know that wasn't the most frugal thing to do but like I said I'm Almost Always Frugal and this is one area where I sometimes miss the boat. But I did walk there & back instead of taking the bus so frugal does come into the equation. So I ended up with some Free exercise and picked up a coin/bottle or two along the way.
Anyway, I'm here to tell you about the Dolphin Club . If you sign up for their club you can get a free Dolphin Bath Glove & more??? Not sure what I'm going to do with a Dolphin Bath Glove but I'm sure someone in the family will appreciate it.

But if you want to try it for free, there are only 10,000 available. That might seem like a lot but really it's not, not when it's offered on the Internet.

Twittering & Twitter win
Dear Diary,
Don't know if I told you this, but I've gotten into twittering and following tweets. And believe it or not there are contests you can enter on Twitter so of course this is something I just had to do. At first I wasn't even sure I was twittering correctly and sometimes I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right. Who knows where my tweets are going and who on earth I'm twittering. Well I haven't gotten arrested yet so that's a good thing. And I must be doing something right some of the time, cause yesterday I received my first Twitter win in the mail. It was a Frommer's Travel Guide to Vancouver & Whistler just in time for the winter Olympics. Too bad I'm unable to attend and make use of this guide. Maybe next time. But I do know someone who's going. Gonna loan it to him and just maybe he might by chance get to meet some Olympic athletes who could autograph my book. Ya never know.

It was a Frommer's Travel Guide to Vancouver & Whistler just in time for the winter Olympics. Too bad I'm unable to attend and make use of this guide. Maybe next time. But I do know someone who's going. Gonna loan it to him and just maybe he might by chance get to meet some Olympic athletes who could autograph my book. Ya never know.

Help I Need Somebody
Dear Diary, I need some help and I hope you can help me.
Did a walk today to raise funds for Haiti and I'm all pumped to raise more funds.
The individuals who organized the walk/run have been involved with raising funds for Haiti for several years now and have been to Haiti themselves to help Haitians. ( I know them personally)
Here's a link that I want to promote on my frugal blog: http://gordpauls.com/ ( Gord Pauls is doing a triple Ironman in support of Haiti)
My plan is to raise only $370 to sponsor 1km of his route. His total route is 678km.
I have some ideas and I'm thinking of posting links to websites/blogs on my blog http://www.frugaldebb.blogspot.com/ for a donation of 26 cents; A Penny for your thoughts and a Quarter for the Cause. ( You can send me your thoughts/links as long as they're decent and legit and I'll post them for the cost of 26 cents.) ( and to be honest I'm not even sure how I can collect 26 cents ... really need some help with this one )
Any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated cause I'm so green when it comes to fund raising.
Really appreciate any help you can give.

2010 Winnings
Dear Diary,I think I told you before that I like to enter contests. As a matter of fact contesting has become a new addiction of mine (to add to my exercise addiction and chocolate addiction and wine addiction LOL) Well so far in 2010 my contesting addiction has been paying off in some small ways. No really big wins mind you but some small ones. Here's my list of winnings for the month of January: $100 from Your Night on the Town, a Heart Truth Signature Scarf, 2 591 ml bottles of a Coca-Cola product, 1000 i-coke coins, a FPC (free product coupon) for Vaseline Sheer Infusion, a Frommer's Vancouver Travel Guide and 2 Dempsters Tortilla Warmers (shown at right) which showed up by surprise at my door. Oh and ds aka darling son won a $50 loaded credit card from a Fruit Loops contest.

Living Well Zantac Trial Offer
Dear Diary,
Living Well is doing it again; that is offering a free trial sample of a product. And this time it's Zantac which is a medication for preventing & relieving heartburn. But if you never have heartburn you're probably not interested in this offer. But I just had to tell you anyway. Even if you never get heartburn, you never know when it might happen. By the way if you want to try this stuff for free, you better hurry or deal with your heartburn on your own.

Metro & Sunlight Buy 1 Get 1 Free
Dear Diary,
If i were you I would head out to Metro this week and purchase some of their Sunlight laundry detergent, but that's just me. They were selling their Sunlight detergent as buy 1 get 1 free; not sure of all the types that were available cause I was just interested in the Sunlight Green Clean stuff. Anyhow with this sale, this stuff was selling at a great price but if you happen to have coupons for this stuff of course that makes it even better. Of course I had coupons; one for $2 off and several more for $1.50 off. Planning on going back and getting more to stock up. And by the way they had many more deals at the buy 1 get 1 free price, if you're interested.
frugaldebb
Oh by the way forgot to mention that on some of the bottles there is a try me free sticky thing attached so basically you can send away to get your money back on the purchase of 1 bottle!

Ikea Shopping & Baggie Drying Rack
Dear Diary,
Went to Ikea yesterday cause I just had to use my $20 coupon that I got when we bought our Christmas tree in December. I know I know I had to spend $75 at Ikea in order to get my $20 back that I spent on my Christmas tree, but there are always things I need at Ikea especially this time of year. And the stuff I bought is all useful stuff; like a new curtain for our new patio door (which is coming soon) to replace the blinds which have hung on the old door for 20 plus years, so time for a change ; 1 pack of plastic clothespins, one can never have enough clothespins; 2 packs of halogen light bulbs for an Ikea fixture, 1 garlic press cause we broke ours just before Christmas and by the way we eat lots of garlic,keeps the vampires away you know; 1 cheese grater cause 17 year old teenage ds is stocking up on supplies for when he moves out lol and 1 Octopus drying rack which I simply love and might consider buying more.
So in total before taxes I spent $77.69 (needed to spend $75 to get the $20 back) and basically got our Christmas tree for free and got lots of useful stuff.
Anyhow going back to my drying rack; it was on sale for $3.99 and when I bought it I was considering using it outdoors on my clothesline to hang small laundry items. But when I came home I realized I could use it to hang dry my baggies indoors as well. I've always had a problem with how to dry my never ending baggie supply and now I resolved it ; gotta love it! Might just go back to Ikea and get another. ( I know you can probably get these cheaper at a dollar store but I'm in love with my Octopus one and bottom line is if I like it I'm probably gonna use it. But I'm sure you get the drift. By the way they had green ones as well as the blue ones.

P.S And no I didn't make it to Old Navy this weekend but to be honest I really didn't need anything; got my upcoming birthday gifts covered thanks to winnings & gift card wins and Boxing Week sales.

Old Navy Sale 50 % Off Clearance
Dear Diary,
Did ya know that Old Navy is having a big sale and it starts today. Make sure you get there soon for the best selection. And by the way go here first to print off some coupons for some added savings. The coupons can be used even on clearance merchandise but they can be tricky to find; you may have to jump some hoops to get them lol! No really getting the coupons is all about clicking on things or moving things around.
Kind of sad that I'm not at Old Navy right now but maybe later if I convince dh to take me, yeah right!

Brandsaver tomorrow January 6 2010
Dear Diary,
The last time we talked, I told you about all the wonderful coupons I used this past year. Well just totaled my coupon use up and in fact I used $1382.74 worth of coupons in 2009 and just so you now many of those coupons I used provided me with free stuff or nearly free stuff. You see I don't use coupons at any given time; generally speaking, I save them and combine them with a good sale for better value. And I don't use coupons for stuff I can't use or give away to someone I know has a use for a specific product. Some may argue that the coupons that are out there, are generally for more expensive name brands and that there are better deals to be had by purchasing store brand or no name or cheaper brand name products. While I do tend to agree, I often have purchased brand name products for less than no name or store brand simply by combining coupons with sales. And I do this on a regular basis; just ask my dh. I do have to admit though that sourcing out great sales and combining my coupons takes a bit of work and some people can't be bothered with this. Oh well it's there loss and not mine.
Speaking of coupons Brandsaver will be offering a bunch of them tomorrow. Better get em while they last.
