I just wanted to give you a quick reminder to submit your deals for Week 6 of Iron Shopper. The more you participate the better you get of course! Voting is open until Sunday morning. If you haven’t stopped by and checked out the shops you don’t want to delay. There are some really great deals shared. I am hoping to see some Walgreens deals and Rite Aid Deals because the deals are rocking this week.

I just wanted to show you what Coupons.com is offering me right now.  After so many of you are saying that coupons.com have reset I went on to check and the site says they have ZERO coupons for me today.  No more saving money with coupons for me

Anyways, I think they are in the process of resetting and that’s why it is showing like this.  Are you getting this same message too?

I have something fun to share with you!  Due to the success of the Mother’s Day Giveaways I hosted, I decided to partner with other bloggers to plan an awesome giveaway bash in honor of Father’s Day.

Next Thursday June 10th, 13 other bloggers and myself will be hosting giveaways all day long for cool stuff to give to dad.  Whether you are a dad, or shopping for one, there is sure to be something in the giveaway list that will get your attention.  Some of the items I will be giving away include an awesome Flip Slide Camera ($280 value!), Rocawear fragrance, Hanes products gift basket, Otterbox mobile cases, and so much more!  I am counting about 12 giveaways so far on this blog alone.  Add to that the giveaways on the other 13 blogs and you have TONS of chances to win.

Something you may want to do in prep for this bash is become a fan of the Dad’s Rock Event on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.  We have been announcing the sponsors and giveaway prizes, so make sure to follow to get the scoop.  Here is the list of the other participating blogs:

Faithful Provisions

Balancing Beauty and Bedlam

Passion for Savings

I hope you will join me on Thursday and have fun on this party I have planned.

I have something very exciting and FUN to introduce to you.  I hope you will really like it.  For a while I have been thinking of the many ways you can fun on this blog.  I share so many fun offers with you and many times I wish I could see how you rock those deals.  Well, now you can share them with me and everyone else!

Every Monday I will set up a special post where you can upload pictures of your deals and share how you went about getting them.  But that’s not all!  You and every one that reads your comment and checks out your picture will be able to vote on your deals.  You will be able to ask your friends and family to vote for your deals too.  On Sunday Morning I will close the post and the person with the most votes for that week will be crowned Iron Shopper of the Week.

That sounds cool right?  Well, yes but that’s not enough in my book. The winner will also get a $20 gift card to Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens or Rite Aid or just plain ole cash via paypal.  The winner chooses!!!

So, I am letting you know today in case you do any shopping during the weekend, you can take your picture and have your deals ready for when I set up the post on Monday.  Coming this Monday, you will see how easy it is to share a photo of your deals, vote on them and share them with your friends.

I am really looking forward to this new feature because you get to share with me and everyone else how you rock the deals. Plus I am also hoping it will be helpful for everyone as people can get ideas of how to do things and by sharing with your friends it could encourage them to join the fun of saving money.

So, who’s up for being crowned Iron Shopper of the Week?

Check out what just showed up inside my mailbox:  the contents of my free Kraft Sample pack.  I chose the “grill one” and it came with three small bags of Wheat Thins, the coupon for free hot dogs, coupon for free bbq sauce and the International Foods coffee. It also came with a copy of a rebate form: “get $10 back when you buy $30 in Kraft products” between 5/23 and 6/13.

In addition to that I also got the free sample of Cascade and Pantene.  Plus my husband’s free subscription to Gold Digest Magazine.  What freebies did you get in your mailbox recently?

Enjoy your loved ones!

Some of you shared with me yesterday on the CSWM Facebook page that you got your sample box from the Sample Showcase program via the US Postal Service,  Well, I got mine today too!  It sure was packed chock full of goodies wasn’t it?  My bar of Dove Chocolate was melted too but I followed your advice and stuck it in the freezer and voila!  ready to eat!  Thanks to Stephanie for emailing me the list of the contents of this freebie:

A full size (1.16 oz) Dove Peanut Butter candy bar.
An original Tasters Choice stick pack
A Vanilla Tasters Choice stick pack.
A .16 oz sample of Shower to Shower sport
A .16 oz sample of Shower to Shower shimmer effects
A full size (.71oz) McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Marinade
A .5 oz sample of Secret Clinical Strength
A .3 oz sample of Aveeno Active Naturals Nourish+Moisturize shampoo and conditioner
A .3 oz Aveeno positively ageless lifting and firming night cream
A .15 oz Aveeno positively ageless firming body lotion
A Bengay moist heat therapy patch (4in x 5in)
2 packets of splenda with fiber
Coupons for $1.00 off any one Splenda sweetener with fiber, $2.00 off any Aveeno active naturals product (excludes cleansing bars and trial sizes) and $1.00 off any Aveeno Nourish+ hair car collection (excludes trial size)

I believe this is at the top of the list of the best freebies I have gotten.  I know a lot of you were pleasantly surprised as well.  Make sure to give feedback on these products at mysampleshowcase.com to keep the program going.  If you are not signed up yet, sign up for the mailing list to get updates about future programs.

I just wanted to share what came in the mail today:  the hobo bag I got from Target.com for $5.  To boot, the bag came with a Eucerin sample plus $4 in Target coupons for Eucerin products.  Not a whole lotta freebies for me lately, so this surprise Eucerin sample was nice.  The bag was cute.

If you got the bag, are you happy with it?  I think it would be a fun summer bag for me.  I usually mostly carry boring brown or black bags, so a blue bag will be fun.  What goodies showed up in your mailbox this week?

Woot!  Check out what FedEx just brought to my door:  My free pair of Lee Jeans.  If you missed this deal let me give you some background info.  This was from a giveaway Lee Jeans conducted on Facebook.  Lee Jeans changed the rules of the giveaway two days after it started.  So to make it up to those who had already entered it, Lee Jeans offered a free pair of jeans to anyone who had entered the giveaway on those two first days.  Since I am always bringing you the hottest freebies, I blogged about it on the first day and a lot of you got a chance to claim this freebie.

I would love to know how many of you followed up to claim the free pair of jeans. And if you doubted they would come here’s proof that they will.
