Scotties Tissue Giveaway!

When you’ve got a house full of runny noses and sick kids, being “green” is probably the last thing on your mind!  Luckily, Scotties Facial Tissue has you covered with a strong but soft tissue that is also environmentally friendly!

WHAT MAKES SCOTTIES LIKE NO OTHER?

  • Scotties combines a unique brand promise to plant 3 trees for every 1 used with the long-standing history of its parent company, J.D. Irving, Limited.
  • Scotties communicates on every box its commitment to plant 3 trees for every 1 used in making its softest ever tissues and uses 3rd party auditing to ensure compliance
  • Scotties Softest Ever tissues are chain of custody certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
  • Scotties is the only major U.S. facial tissue to be linked with the Responsible Forest Project (RFP)
  • Scotties has partnered with American Forests to create SCOTTIES RELEAF U.S.A. and TREES ROCK! In an effort to promote urban tree planting initiatives in the United States
  • J.D. Irving has planted over 800 million trees in the last 50 years

The folks over at Scotties sent me a big box full of tissues to try out, and I was so glad to have them this past week, with two little runny noses to keep up with!  We made it through the week without red, raw noses.

Scotties would also like to send one lucky FJM reader 16 assorted boxes of Scotties tissues!  Here’s how to enter:

Giveaway: Tickets to Ringling Bros. Circus at Jacksonville Memorial Arena!!

Every year when Ringling Bros. comes to town, my kids start clamoring to go.  It’s a big hit with my family, and probably for a lot of your families too.  This year’s show is called DRAGONS, and it is themed around the fact that this is The Year of the Dragon.  It sounds like it will be an amazing show.  You can see a cute behind-the-scenes video with the Ringling Bros. elephants here!  I love the FREE pre-show event too!  A couple years ago my step-daughter got to “help” some of the acrobats, and she loved it!  The show runs Thursday (1/19) through Sunday (1/22), and there are multiple shows on Saturday and Sunday.  You can see more details on the schedule here.

If you want to take a frugal trip to the circus :) , it’s absolutely do-able!!  Tickets start as low as $15.  On opening night (Thursday), all of the $25 seats are only $15 too.  There is also a coupon code in this month’s Mint Magazine for $5 off up to 6 tickets (MINT12) that you can use at the box office or at Ticketmaster, and you can sign up on Ringling Bros. website to receive additional offers.  If you want even more frugal circus fun, you can head to the Jacksonville Landing on Wednesday (1/18) from 5:00 to 7:00 pm for an Elephant Birthday Party – this is a FREE event!!  You’ll get to interact with elephants and clowns, and get a coupon for $5 off your circus tickets.

If you want a SUPER frugal trip to the circus, then check out this awesome giveaway!  I’ve got 10 tickets to give away for the Ringling Bros. Circus at Jacksonville Memorial Arena, valid for any of the show dates and times!

Now, I’ve been trying to decide the best way to giveaway these ten tickets.  I could split them up 5-5, or 6-4, and giveaway to two families, but not every family consists of 4, 5, or 6 people, and I want everyone to have a chance at these! :)   So here’s the deal.  To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below stating how many tickets you’d like to win, and who you will take with you.  (For example:  “I’d like 5 tickets for myself, my husband, and my 3 children.” OR “I’d like 3 tickets for myself and my 2 grandchildren.”)  My only request is that you don’t request tickets for your extended family and all your neighbors, so that we can have more than one winner.

The giveaway will close on Monday (1/16) at 7:00 pm.  The first winner will be selected randomly.  Any additional winners will be chosen randomly based on the number of tickets requested and the number of tickets still available to give away.  Winners will be contacted by e-mail.  E-mails and comments to Facebook will not count as entries.  Good luck!!

The tickets for this giveaway were provided by Ringling Bros. My family was also given tickets in exchange for hosting this giveaway.  However, all opinions are completely mine.  For additional information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Willow House Credit Giveaway and Exclusive FJM Discounts!

I would like to introduce you all to Kerry Traveria, FJM’s favorite Willow House consultant!  Not only is Kerry a born and raised Jacksonville girl, but we came to realize after she and I had developed a working relationship that we also have a personal connection – my mother was her first grade teacher, and she went to school with my sister and brother!

Willow House sells beautiful home decor, kitchen and entertaining items, and designer jewelry.  Kerry is great at helping you find just the right product to fit what you are looking for.  And if you’re interested in hosting a party, she can help you figure out all the logistics!

Here are some of the great deals that Kerry is currently offering, just for FJM readers!!!

  • $5 off a $20 or more purchase, or FREE shipping on orders of $35 or more!
  • Interested in hosting a party?  Kerry will give you any item of your choice priced at $39.96 or less for FREE if your party reaches $125 in sales!  That’s over and above the host rewards!

Plus, customers who spend $39.96 or more always qualify to purchase an additional item worth $39.96 or less for half price.  And don’t miss Kerry’s Outlet and Weekly Deals, where you can find some great Willow House products as much as 70% off!

my hurricane with the "stick balls"

Kerry helped my pick out a beautiful piece from Willow House recently.  I love to find multi-purpose decor to help save money.  Instead of purchasing multiple items to serve different functions, I love things that can be used in many different ways.  Kerry helped me find the beautiful Hemingway Hurricane.  Right now, I’ve got it filled with “stick balls” (something about that sounds wrong, but I don’t have a better name for them :) ) and serving as a dining room table centerpiece.  However, I have lots of plans for my hurricane….

  • seasonal decor:  filled with cinnamon sticks, mini pumpkins, and fall leaves for the next couple months, round glass Christmas ornaments for the holidays, lemons and limes in the spring for a bright, fun centerpiece (plus storage for all my citrus!), and maybe some sand and shells with a big candle in the summer,
  • to hold the flowers that I know my husband will bring me for my birthday (right, dear?) :) ,
  • to hold and show off my yummy strawberry trifle at our next party,
  • and I also want to try filling it with water and some pretty stones at the bottom, and adding a floating candle.

a much better picture of the hurricane from the Willow House catalog!

I’ve got a ton more ideas, but these are the ones that I know I can do without buying extra supplies!  So now that you know what my favorite Willow House item is, you can share yours to be entered into a great giveaway!!

Kerry has offered to give one lucky FJM reader a credit of $39.96 to purchase their own Hemingway Hurricane, or any other item from the home decor catalog that you’d like to have!!  Here’s how to enter:

Mandatory entry: Head over to Kerry’s online catalog, check it out, then come back to this post and leave a comment letting me know what your favorite Willow House item is!

Giveaway: $25 Credit to Eversave

Have you tried out Eversave yet?  It is one of many daily deal sites, but here’s why it’s one of my favorites.  First of all, they offer a good variety of deals.  It’s not just clothing, or just photo books, or just kitchen supplies.  A lot of the daily deal sites seem to offer the same things over and over.  Secondly, Eversave offers a lot of extra promotions.  There also seem to be extra discounts or bonus offers going on.  For example, today they offered an extra $3 off their Kitsel Kids deal, and if you buy the current Little Tikes deal, you get a $5 credit for your next purchase.  They also offer a $3 credit just for signing up to receive their daily e-mails.  Finally, I like that Eversave has multiple deals available at the same time.  That way, when a promo code is available, I have some options on what to use it for.

Eversave is offering one FJM reader a $25 credit toward future purchases.  If you’d like to win, here’s what you’ll need to do:

Go here to set up an Eversave account, if you have not already done so (this is a requirement, since you must have an account to put the credits in!!)  Scroll to the bottom of this post, and leave a comment sharing your favorite Eversave deal.  It can be one that you’ve purchased in the past, or the current deal that you think is the best.

This giveaway will end on Friday, June 10th at 9:00 pm.  The winner will be chosen using random.org, and notified via e-mail.  If winner does not respond within 5 days, a new winner will be chosen.

Good Luck!!

I was not compensated for this post.  Eversave is providing the credits for the giveaway.  All opinions expressed are completely mine! For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Giveaway: Win a Mellow Mushroom Gift Card In Honor of the New “Little Dudes Menu”!!

Back in April, I had lunch with John, the owner of the Jacksonville Mellow Mushroom locations.  He let me know that a new kids’ menu was in the works, and that it would be something great.  Well, he was right – I’m so excited to tell you about it!

Beginning today, Mellow Mushroom has a new kids’ menu – the “Little Dudes Menu” – at all three Jacksonville locations.  And it’s not your typical hamburger or deep-fried nuggets and fries, either!  This is food that your kids will enjoy, and you won’t feel guilty about feeding them!

Our Jacksonville-area Mellow Mushroom locations really pride themselves on using fresh, high-quality, natural ingredients.  That has absolutely translated to the Little Dudes menu too!  Kids can choose from meatballs, grilled cheese made with Boar’s Head American Cheese, grilled 100% natural Springer Mountain chicken fingers, and a kid-sized Mellow pizza.  They also made sure to include some healthy options for sides and drinks – mixed fruit, steamed broccoli, and milk.  Check out the full menu here.

Would you like to take your family out to try the new Little Dudes Menu?  Well, Mellow Mushroom is offering one lucky Frugal Jacksonville Mom reader a $30 Mellow Mushroom gift card, plus a voucher for a free Little Dudes Menu item!!  If you’d like to win this gift card & voucher, here are the details:

You can get up to 6 entries:

Option #1:  Take a look at the new menu, and leave a comment on this post letting me know which menu item you think your kids will be most excited about.  If you don’t have kiddos, that’s ok!  Check out the second page of the menu that explains about some of their high-quality ingredients, and let me know which fact is the most exciting to you (I love that their chicken is antibiotic free!).

Option #2:  Like Frugal Jacksonville Mom AND your favorite Mellow location (Southside, Fleming Island, or The Beaches) on Facebook.  Make sure to come back here and leave a comment letting me know that you did this.  This should be a separate comment from option #1.

Option #3:  Earn 2 entries for sharing Frugal Jacksonville Mom with your friends on Facebook via your Wall.  I’ll need to be able to see that you shared for this entry to count, so make sure to follow these directions carefully:

You’ll need to “like” my Facebook page for this to work, so make sure you’ve done that first.  Then go to your Facebook page, and in the “What’s on your mind?” box, you can let your friends know about Frugal Jacksonville Mom.  Just type an @ sign before you type “Frugal Jacksonville Mom” and a drop down box should appear with my page in it.

Click on it, and finish writing your invite – my name will be highlighted in blue.  When you post it, “Frugal Jacksonville Mom” will show up as a link to my Facebook page, and your post will show up on my wall.  All posts that show up on my Wall before the deadline will count as 2 entries.

Option #4:  Earn 2 entries by tweeting about this giveaway on Twitter.  I’ll need to be able to see it in my Mentions list, so make sure to use @FrugalJaxMom in your tweet.  Each tweet is my Mentions list will count as 2 entries.
