This Frugal Family

We love Gourmetgiftbaskets.com.  It is such a great site to go to for such fun gifts.  Their products are great, and they have lots of pizzazz.  It’ll make any get together better. I gave the Taste of Elegance Gift Tower to my husband.  It looked so good, that I wanted to keep it, but I passed it on.  He loved it.  All the caramel candies and cookies made him go MMM.  He told me to get another one.  It was worth every penny, for goodness sakes, it’s had to please a man! They also have a Festive Favorites Gift Tower, that would make an excellent gift as well.  The Festive Favorites Tower promises to have all Gourmetgiftbaskets.com favorites.  You can check out the contents by clicking on the link. I’ve also received a Popcorn Tin, with an NFL logo on it, for my father.  He loved his popcorn.  Said it tasted great. The popcorn tin is sure to be a great gift for anyone who loves the sport.  My dad has been watching football since I was just a kid, so I knew this would be perfect. There is an entire Christmas Section on Gourmetgiftbaskets.com.  You are sure to find…

Dead Soxy is my go to company for socks.  I love the way they fit.  Not too big, like most socks I was wearing.  And, they have no shows, and higher socks.  They really got making socks, right.  The socks are so stylish, and comfortable.  And, as I said, fit so well. They even have no slip socks.  That’s fantastic!  I love no slip socks.  The way my 20 year old daughter is, she would fall without them.  She slides her feet, rather than picking them up.  And, I’ve watched her hit the floor numerous times.  Now, with Dead Soxy no slip socks, that’s a thing of the past. The no show socks are perfect, when wearing Toms, or any other brand of low tennis shoe.  They really make them grand.  They are just that, no show.  If it’s a warm, Summer’s day, these are perfect. These socks, pictured above, are so cool looking.  They would be great for work.  You can keep your legs warm, and still be stylish.  I love my high socks, that don’t fall down.  They don’t fall down, either.  I love them.  They are super comfy too. I just realized you can get free shipping…

We have made this a tradition, in our family, and we are not disappointed.  Kennywood’s Holiday Lights Show is Fantastic this year.  They are exceptionally great this time around.  We even got close to Santa Claus, with no long line.  We were able to see him, and Jacob just adored that part of the trip. Santa will be here in a few short weeks, and if you haven’t already, go to see the Holiday Lights at Kennywood.  You will love it, whether you have little ones, or not.  We, of course, got some toys, for Jacob to bring home.  They are really cool, and were inexpensive.  The tree has a strobe light on the bottom, and it reflects off of everything.  Really Cool, Kennywood! Seeing Santa, and Christmas Kenny The Kangaroo, was the first thing we did, in the park.  We wanted to get there, before the line got too long.  So we got there at 5:45 pm.  We were there with a few more people, but the wait was so short.  Usually the line is really long, to see Jolly Old Saint Nick.  We were in and out, within 15 minutes.  Jacob loved being able to tell Santa what…

If you have a young lady, in your home, she will love these Tangled Activities:  

We’ve only been using Mean Green for a short time now, but it’s so amazing.  My husband loves it, but not as much as me.  I was able to get an old coffee stain off of my countertop, with Mean Green Multi Purpose Cleaner.  That stain had been there for years, and it came right up.  I still can’t believe it.  My husband used Mean Green Super Strength in his garage, to get a grease stain off of his work bench, and again, the stain came right up.  It works so well, why would you go to any other brand. Mean Green is good in any area, from your kitchen, to your bathroom, from outdoors, to your garage.  It’s a miracle worker, and I’m glad we finally discovered it.  Even in the laundry room, it takes the grease stains right out of my husband’s work clothes.  We love Mean Green! The Mildew Destroyer surprised me, as well.  It got all the hard water stains out of our shower.  We love our nice, clean, white shower.  I have never felt this clean getting out of the shower before. You really need to try the entire line, you will love it too, I’m sure of it.  I’ve never…

I gave one to my Mother In Law, and she loves it.  Says it’s the most comfortable bra she wears.  It’s a deep purple, Comfort Bra.  And, she says it is just that, “comfy”.  I will be ordering a few more, as well.  I do 13 stockings, over Christmas, and these would be wonderful for the women.  I had to have my Mother in law test the Comfort Bra out, just to see if I wanted to buy more, and surely I do.  We will all get a different color, to make sure none of them get confused, and this will be a great addition to the women’s stockings. Their advertisement is surely true, according to Mom in law.  She says it’s truly the “Most Comfortable Bra Ever!”.  I’m glad that we came across The Coobie Store.  There are a variety of bras to choose from, but my mother in law loves the Comfort Bra.  The comfort bra goes over your head, like a sports bra, but gives you much support, she has stated to me.  Which is great for her, as she is a breast cancer survivor.  She needs that support, because her breasts can be uncomfortable.  However, the…

Mean Green is amazing, and just in time for Christmas, I’ve discovered it.  Mean Green is a fabulous Multi Purpose Cleaner, that is helping me clean up, after my baking, and cooking for the Holidays.  My husband loves it, more than the leading brands.  He says, “Man, it really cuts the grease on the grill.”  My 20 year old, daughter, loves Mean Green, too.  She said that it really helped to clean up the stains on her work clothes.  “Just a couple of sprays, and in the wash, with a little Biz added, and pow, clean,” she said. Mean Green is a great degreaser, and multi purpose cleaner.  Why would you buy anything else, once discovering Mean Green.  I gave a bottle to my Mother In Law, and her husband.  They used it on their car windows, and she said “streak free”.  My husband used it in the basement, where he’s remodeling, right now, and he said it really cleaned up the messes he’s made. My mom, on the other hand, is using the Mean Green Wipes.  She loves them.  Says she did her windows, in the picture window.  She said that the windows came sparkling clean, and the Christmas Tree just…

We could always use ideas for Stocking Stuffers, so where better to get them, than here.  These are all great ideas.  I always liked when my mom would put a drink in our stocking, and a treat.  That way, when we were opening presents, we had something at our fingertips.  It was the perfect idea, that I carried on for my children.  And, I do stockings for 13 children/adults, so these will all be in our stockings! I’m going to start with the great Sparkling Ice.  If you’ve never had Sparkling Ice, you are missing out.  There is a huge variety of flavors, and they are so inexpensive.  You can even buy them in a family pack, at Walmart.  This would make a great stocking treat, for any aged child/adult. The Welch’s Fruit Rolls, oh my goodness.  These are delicious, and taste just like the leading brand.  They are fabulous.  You could open the box, and put one in each stocking, or two, depending on the size of your family.  My husband ate the entire box, the last time I bought them.  Yeah, he loves them, and so will your family. The Carrington Farms Chia Seeds, go to my sister. …
