Closed. Holiday Giveaway – Better Homes & Gardens Cookware Set #wingiveaways

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations, Mayo.

My husband and I cook almost every night and believe me when I say that our cookware we got for our wedding was all but falling apart!  It was reliable but not top of the line or anything.  We coveted new cookware and let me tell you – this is what we were looking for – at a fraction of the cost!

Better Homes and Garden came to the rescue. First of all, the box is heavy, which tells you this is good stuff.  The thicker the cookware, the better it retains heat.  Developed with the famous Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen, the BHG 13-Piece Hard-Anodized Cookware Set includes well-designed pieces for preparing all of your family’s favorite recipes. Hard-anodized construction makes the set a durable choice for years of use, and the unique Triple Performance Grid, which looks kind of like a quilt in the bottom of the pans, ensures excellent browning and delicious flavor. The pans clean up quickly – no scrubbing.  In fact, we were unable to clean the 1.5 qt. saucepan until the next day after making a cream sauce for Thanksgiving and it came right off!

13-piece set includes:

  • Riveted silicone and stainless-steel handles for comfort
  • Glass lids to help monitor cooking progress
  • Oven safe to 400°F
  • Lifetime limited warranty
  • Hand washing recommended
  • 1 covered saucepan with lid 1.5-qt. (1.4L)
  • 1 covered saucepan with lid and steamer insert 2.5-qt. (2.3L)
  • 1 covered Dutch oven with lid 4-qt. (3.8L)
  • 1 covered stock pot with lid 8-qt. (7.5L)
  • 1 skillet 8.5″, 1 skillet 10″
  • 1 covered deep skillet with lid 4-qt. (3.8L)
  • Compatible with most all cook-tops with the exception of induction

In relation to this line, Better Homes and Gardens has more to offer. Three quality lines of pots and pans including the Non-Stick Hard-Anodized, Tri-Ply Clad 18/10 Stainless Steel, and Non-Stick Porcelain Enamel. Beyond Pots and Pans, BHG now has bakeware – cake, cookie, muffin, pie loaf and pizza pans,small appliances – blender, food processor, coffee pot and stand mixer; and Enamel Cast Iron pieces that are appropriate for from oven-to-table presentation. Look as well for kitchen gadgets, knives and food storage.

One of the best things about the Non-Stick Hard-Anodized Set, is that it is only is it from a trust brand but it is available at Walmart for an affordable price of $149.99!  If you order it online (after this giveaway, of course!), you can get it shipped Site to Store to save the shipping, although it is available in stores too.

One Frugal Coupon Living reader will win this set, courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens!

“Where Function Meets Fashion” might be enough said when speaking of Cool Diaps.

What is Cool Diaps? Well they are the coolest thing on the block for babies and toddlers. Priced at $8.99, not only are they hip, they are affordable!

Created by a husband and wife team ( Paige Gillinwater and Holland Henton) with 10 years of diaper experience, these diapers are perfected by those that have had experience. I noticed when reviewing these diapers – they were soft to the touch and kept my baby dry. The  “blue chip” strip located in the center of the diaper absorbs excess liquid. They also have a strong Velcro for closing and a nice gathering around the leg to prevent leakage.

Sold in Sizes
Small – 1/2  (6 to 13 lbs)
Medium – 2/3 (8 to 19 lbs)
Large – 3/4 (19 to 30 lbs)
X-Large – 4/6 (30+ lbs)
…
Packages have a quantity of 24 to 36 count depending on the size.  Each package contians three bold and expressive patterns – Peace Sign, Happy Face and Zebra.
Want more…Cool Diaps is a hitting the shelves of Babies R Us January 26th for a limited time – so get yours quick! Is your child ready to be the coolest baby on the block? Mine is!

Eight Tips to Couponing

modified datt: February 02,2011

If you are new to Frugal Coupon Living, take a look at Frugal Coupon Living’s Features as well as the printable store feature.

1)      Stay Organized

Overall organization is critical to maintaining sanity and realizing long term value.  There is nothing worse in couponing than going into a store unorganized.  Have your list, your coupons, and know your sale.  Leave the rest in the car.  A little prep work in needed before you hit the stores.

2)      Know the Code

There is a secret formula.   A sale + a MFR (manufacturer) coupon + a SC (store coupon) + a CC (competitor coupon)  = freebies, moneymakers, and cheap items.   When possible combine these things.   In addition to the secret formula, you need to know the acronyms (see my side bar for examples.)

3)      Be Flexible

Break from brand loyalties, there are a lot of great coupons out there if you are willing to try new things.  You will find when combining coupons you end up buying most of the brands that are most expensive for the least amount of money. Don’t worry about having to only buy the generic items.

4)      Learn to Stockpile

When there is an amazing sale combined with a large coupon you must stockpile.  Know your store sales, how frequently things go on sale and then save enough until the next sale.  This might mean you need several copies of a coupon…getting multiple copies of newspapers is a good idea. A general rule of thumb is one copy of the paper for as many people in the house – four people in the house would mean four Sunday papers. If you find you are in a time when you can not coupon as much, cut back to two papers. You at least one two papers, so during B1G1 sales you have a coupon for each item.

5)      Reward Cards Are Your Friend

Many stores offer great incentives only for those who are reward card holders.  Sometimes it is best to get reward cards of stores not even in your area because some stores will take those competitors’ coupons that might come to your address for being a club/reward card member.

6)      Understand the Fine Print

Make sure you read the details so you truly understand what is on sale and what items for the coupon will work.  Most manufacturers display the most expensive item on face of the coupon.  Consumers look at the picture and select that item.  If you read the fine print there might be a cheaper item for which you could get the discount (one example is a trial size item.)

7)      Don’t Reinvent the Wheel

Frugal Coupon Living has done the work for you.  Don’t get stressed trying to plan your shopping list.  Use this website to see what is on sale each week and what is matched to a coupon.  If you do not have the coupon, don’t buy the item unless your family is in need (sales are good, but they are even better with coupons.)  Look at my shopping lists then create your own list.

8)   Manage Your Time

I realize that gathering your coupons, list of sale items, etc can take some time and can make going to the grocery store difficult. If you are strapped for time, I encourage you to shop the B1G1 sales, items that are significantly reduced, and at least take along printable coupons attached to the lists provided on Frugal Coupon Living. Sometimes, I personally find, hunting for the coupon in my coupon binder can be more difficult than just selecting print on my computer. Do the best you can and don’t be hard on yourself for what you didn’t’ do, rather rejoice in how much you did save!
