This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Robert!

When I think of Cracker Barrel, I think of delicious meals – their cooked apples being one of my favorites, the rocking chairs on the front porch and browsing the Old Country Store while waiting to eat or even afterwards!  Before I had a family of my own and traveled with my parents, we knew that a stop at Cracker Barrel was a must for a road trip that we always looked forward to with great anticipation!  Mainly because of the food; but also to look for unique items in the Old Country Store.

Have you thought about visiting a Cracker Barrel near you to check off some items on your Christmas shopping list?  As I stated above, they have many items that you just won’t find anywhere else, from old school candy to recipe books, seasonal decorations, candles and toys for kids.  The thing I like about most, if not all, of the items they carry is that they are simple and they are many times educational or skill-developing.  I don’t know about your house; but in mine it seems that the toys that have less electronics are usually the ones that get more attention in the long run!

One of the new items at Cracker Barrel are the Butterflies Dolls.  This is a line of 8 dolls made exclusively for the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store!   Think Pottery Barn; but way cheaper!  They each have their own personality and name!  The Butterflies are brought to life by your child’s imagination rather than batteries, helping them think more creatively.  Each doll comes with her own outfit and you can purchase more clothes separately.  You can also buy extra accessories and furniture to aide in creating a more lifelike environment to play with your new doll.

For boys, we got to have a look at the WudWorkers Airplane.  It has 75 wood pieces that need to be assembled to play with the plane.  I just see tons of quality time with parent and child putting this together!  We also got to take a look at the Wood Train Set which comes with a track, train cars and other accessories. The train cars attach by magnets on either end which make them fun to move around. A Sock Monkey Crocheted Hat and accessories for the Butterflie Doll we received rounded out our Cracker Barrel Old Country Store pack!

Each of these items was under $20!  Head to Cracker Barrel for a look to add these to your gift giving!

Cracker Barrel is giving one Frugal Coupon Living reader an Old Country Store Prize Pack, including:

  • 1 of the 8 Unique Butterflies Dolls
  • Butterflies Utensil Set, Chef Hat & Apron.  Plush Cupcake, Butterflies Tote
  • Wood Train Set
  • Wud Works Airplane
  • Sock Monkey Hat

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Candice. 

This year you can grab some Great Gift Ideas from Mr. Coffee and Oster at Walmart Stores Nationwide! I wanted to share with you a few great Gift Ideas that are very reasonably priced and sure to make anyone on your list smile!

Mr. Coffee “No Carafe” 12-Cup Coffeemaker, $48.88 on Amazon and at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com. This is perfect, budget friendly way to brew an entire pot of coffee and dispense it one cup at a time. The Mr. Coffee No Carafe Coffeemaker also called the Power Serve) holds up to 12 Cups of Coffee at one time and allows you to instantly serve one cup at a time! This is perfect if you love fresh ground coffee or you have a lot of Coffee Drinkers in your home! It’s Single Serve Convenience for those who like to brew an entire pot.

Oster My Blend Blender, $26.55 on Amazon and $29.88 at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com. Perfect for anyone who loves to create their own energy shakes or smoothies the Oster My Blend Blender allows you to blend your Drink Directly into a Sports Bottle. This is a BPA Free, 20-oz. Sport Bottle that is Reusable and Dishwasher Safe!


Oster Electric Wine Opener, $17.70 on Amazon and $19.94 at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com. Give the perfect gift for wine lovers! You can open a bottle of wine with the press of a button with this Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener. Designed to fit Traditional Wine Bottles, this Cordless Electric Opener fits in it’s recharging base and is ready to go in seconds. Corks come out Smoothly every time!

I tried all three of these and what I liked about the Mr. Coffee No Carafe Coffeemaker over other coffeemakers I have had was that you can make a whole pot at a time and then serve as much as you want when you’re ready.  It keeps the coffee warm INSIDE the machine for two hours.  No more looking at day-old coffee in the carafe!

Since I am trying to get into eating/drinking smoothies more, I was excited to try the MyBlend Blender.  You make your smoothie in the sports bottle and take it with you!  And, you can choose from a few different colors.  I have to say that is one of the reasons I don’t make them more – I hate having to clean my blender every day!  You can also get more than one sports bottle for all the smoothie drinkers in your house!

I also enjoyed the ease of pushing a button to open my wine bottles with the Oster Electric Wine Opener.  No more worry about getting the corkscrew in the right position or pushing it through into the bottle!  I don’t really know the mechanics of how this works, but it’s amazing!

Mr. Coffee and Oster are giving on Frugal Coupon Living reader a Mr. Coffee No Carafe Coffeemaker, an Oster My Blend Blender & an Oster Wine Opener!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Kerry G. 

 

My hair is not easy to fix!  I have one of those heads that is full of curls and needs to be flat-ironed every day.  This adds much time to my getting ready process in the morning!  You’d never know when you look at my pictures, would you?  If there is one thing that most women can agree upon, it’s that they want their hair to look nice.  You never hear someone say “I’m having a bad eyelashes day” or “I’m having a bad nails day”….but “I’m having a bad hair day!”?  That you hear!

So many times we hear about a great new product for our hair (be it a shampoo, a flat iron, a brush, a dryer, etc) now available in salons that has been designed to combat the very same hair problem that you have always had.  The problem is – where do you find these products?  Maybe the salons in your area don’t carry it…or maybe in order to get the products you want, you would have to go to several different salons.  Or maybe you are like me and just prefer to do all your shopping online!
Folica.com is your one-stop shopping site for all of your haircare needs. They carry almost every product that you can think of to clean, condition, treat and style your hair.  They offer free shipping on orders over $50 and often run a promotion for anywhere from 10-20% off your entire order!  To introduce me to some of the high-end products available on Folica.com, I was given the following products to review:
Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer: The Solia Thermal Ionic Dryer is an Italian engineered, 1875 Watt Professional Thermal Ionic Dryer designed to produce millions of negative ions that benefit the hair, making it shinier, smoother, and healthier.
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4″) plus free heat proof pouch: features the Dynamic Alignment System to ensure perfect contact between your hair and the plates. It supplies even heat distribution for true silky straight hair. Its ceramic/tourmaline ion technology will generate gentle far-infrared heat and extra negative ions to create the perfectly frizz-free hair without heat damage. Kiss bad hair days goodbye! Now available in classic black, pink, red and purple color editions.
After using the Solia Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer I now know why hairdressers don’t buy their blow dryers at the drug stores! You want a salon-quality look, you need Salon Quality products! Just the hair dryer alone left my hair smoother than it had been since the last time I was in a salon. Once I used the flat-iron to seal the cuticles? I had the soft, smoothe and “non fluffy hair” that has always alluded me. I am in love with these 2 products!
.
To inspire you to try them yourself, Folica.com is offering an exclusive code to my readers: Save 30% off the Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4″) plus free heat proof pouch and the Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer when you use the code: SOLIASAVINGS at checkout. This code is only valid through 11/18/2011!

Folica.com is giving one Frugal Coupon Living reader a Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron and a Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer!
