International Frozen Yogurt Day is 2/6/18. Mark your Calendars! There will be all kinds of freebies and deals!
Yogurtland has advertised theirs already:
And if you don’t live near a Yougurtland… Menchie’s is joining the free Froyo bandwagon with a BOGO offer:
I am looking forward to taking the kids to Yogurtland. Henry and I love Whoppers (aka chocolate dipped cannon balls), so I know what we’ll be getting!
It’s been a week or so since I’ve posted a good ol’ fashioned freebie rund-up.

If you’re anything like me, you love to learn new stuff. When I found out that Craftsy is offering free mini-courses, I had to take advantage!
If you’re new to Craftsy, the mini-courses feature student-led discussions and are shorter in length than regular courses. They are a perfect way to learn new skills and experience the Craftsy platform first-hand.

I love a good cash back app. Dosh is the latest, and it’s a little different than the others out there right now. Dosh is primarily for restaurants (including Denny’s, which is the kid’s favorite), but there are retailers like Hallmark, Forever 21, Cost Plus World Market, and Sam’s Club.
Signing up is easy, and there are no receipts to scan, or photos to take. Sign up here, then link your credit and debit cards. Once you use one of the cards at a participating retailer, you’ll get a push notification from Dosh, and in just a few days, you’ll have cash back! The Cash Out threshold is $15.00 which is pretty easy to get.
Right now when you sign up and link at least two cards, you’ll get a $10 bonus! Refer friends and receive $5 per referral that signs up and receives their first cash back!
Thanks to my kids and their love of Denny’s, plus all of the other great extra ways to earn money with the app, I’ve already cashed out $20!
Here is my pro-saving tip for the day: Double or triple dip on this by using coupons (There were Denny’s coupons in the mail recently, and many of the retailers that participate also have coupons out there) to lower your Out of Pocket (OOP), and then scan your receipt into Receipt Hog, and check apps like Cash Dash to see if there are any cash back opportunities. And if you shop at Sam’s Club, check out Ibotta, Fetch Rewards, and Checkout51 for more rebate/cash back opportunities! You’ll be earning in NO TIME!!
(The Dosh Link is my personal link, if you sign up and complete an offer, I may earn $5. This money helps me run the site and offer contests and giveaways. You can see my Disclosure info here.)
Let’s start the week with some freebies! I’m ordering freebies that we can use around the house, and also to put into blessing bags to help out some local homeless outreach groups.
Free Samples
Free Magazine Subscriptions
I know so many people who are either expecting or adopting in the next few months. I thought I’d share some really great deals and freebies, since we all know kids are super expensive!
Free Walmart Baby Box! Includes samples and coupons
Regardless of any personal beliefs, a fed baby is best. I always recommend having a stash of formula samples and different types of bottles on hand. Thankfully, there area few formula companies that send samples and coupons! Similac and Enfamil are the two that send goodies most often.
If you are an Amazon Prime member, check out this free baby box of goodies!
And don’t forget that there are always great printable coupons for much-needed baby supplies!

I post free magazine offers all the time and the majority of those offers come from Mercury Magazines.
You are just 4 quick (and I mean it) steps away from scoring tons of free magazines:
Mercury Magazines sends you FREE magazine subscriptions. No shady “Get 1 free trial issue” then get bombarded with calls and invoices begging you to sign up for a paid subscription.
I receive about a dozen magazines each month and they are from Mercury Magazines.
Get started by clicking the banner above! Leave a comment and let me know which free magazines you are receiving!
It’s back… We’ve already been through a few areas, and Henry is itching for a big cuppa Cocoa from Starbucks and a ride in Miss Sally (my car) to go check out all the lights in ONE NIGHT!
We love looking at holiday light displays, and I’ve noticed more neighbors than in past years are putting up lights all over east county! If you want to get out and check out the sites (and lights), here are our favorites:
EL CAJON, 92021
LAKESIDE, 92040
SANTEE, 92071
We pack the kids into the car after dark with cocoa and snacks and head out for a drive. It’s a fun way to spend time together, and it’s pretty frugal!
What holiday traditions do you want to share with your kids?
