The Penny Pinchers Club Book Giveaway - Three Days Left to Enter

Click here for the details.

The Penny Pinchers Club Book Giveaway

I received a courtesy copy of The Penny Pinchers Club written by Sarah Strohmeyer. I have to say that I had not heard of Ms. Strohmeyer but that doesn't mean anything since the only books I have read since I adopted my daughter are the Harry Potter books and Twilight.

The main character, Kat Griffiths has never saved a penny in her life and can best be described as a shopaholic raised on South Jersey malls. But when she begins to think that her husband is leaving her, she decides to kick her spending habits, joining the Penny Pinchers Club to save money and prepare for a divorce.

If you are looking for fun beach read, this is for you. It will definitely hold your attention at the same time provide you with money saving tips. Ms. Strohmeyer provides some South Jersey flair to keep you entertained.

www.newyorkcitysinglemom.com will be giving away two books for our readers.

To win, provide one money saving tip in the comments section by Friday, July 17.

PF Flyers - Gift with Promotion at Saks Fifth Avenue New York

To introduce their PF Flyers Kids line, Saks Fifth Avenue New York is running a gift with purchase promotion beginning June 18. 

If you buy one pair of adult PF Flyers, you will receive from a select number of PF Flyers kids shoes, valued at $40.  

Just a little history about PF Flyers  (trust me I forgot.)

PF Flyers is one of those original American sneaker brands. P and F stand for Posture Foundation, not so sexy sounding is it, but the shoe design has been updated and evolved into a modern style for you cool chicks out there, who are looking for both function and style in a sneaker. Believe you me, it's hard to find a "sneaker" that does both without not looking too young, outlandish or that you are trying to hard to be in.

 

Here is one of the women's sneakers from the current line which I think is pretty cute.

And here are the kids shoes that are the gift with purchase- funky, classic, cool. 

This promotion is for the Saks Fifth Avenue New York store only. I wish this was available online because as we all know, you can't always get out to a store. 

Take note Saks and PF Flyers for your next promotion. On the other hand, I am sure that from a bottom line perspective, sales versus profit margins has to be a concern in this tough retail market. 

EcoStore Eco-Friendly Products Review and Giveaway

As part of my apartment therapy cure (see my earlier posts), I am trying to use more eco-friendly, organic products in my home.

So I was super pleased to have EcoStore reach out to me to try their products.

EcoStore is a New Zealand based company that is now selling products in the United States via the web and MEIJER supermarkets.

The product line includes household cleaning, baby and personal care products which are plant based, non-toxic and contain No Nasty Chemicals ™.

I chose to try two household products that I use most often as a start and found their claim that their products are as effective as supermarket brands to be true.

Automatic Dish Powdered ($11.00) - I was skeptical that you only have to use a tablespoon of the super concentrated powder as I have this tendency to fill the container to the brim but my dishes came out beautifully clean. The glasses definitely had that sheen you always see in commmercials. I was truly impressed.

Cream Cleanser ($7.00) - I used the just a little of the cleanser on the bathroom tub and sink. It definitely got the grime up. And trust me after my daughter washes her hair, there is definitely a ring around that tub. Both the sink and tub sparkled without a lot of effort on my part and left no grit the way Ajax/Comet leaves (yes, I still use that stuff). Again, I was very satisfied with the results. My only comment is that the scent is not as strong I would like but that's just because I have been conditioned to think that the Pine Sol/Ajax smell indicates a clean smell and we know that's not true.

Giveway:

One lucky New York City Single Mom reader will be able to pick out two products of their choice from ecoStore.

To enter, please check out the products at ecostoreusa.com and tell me 1) which products would best work for you and 2) what steps you are taking to reduce your carbon footprint in the "comments" section below by Friday, June 19, 2009 at 12 midnight EST.

Body Shop is having a Sale and there are even bargains under $5

I love the Body Shop. Not only for the philosophy of their late founder Dame Anita Roddick, who practically invented the beauty products genre of no testing on animals and promotion of fair trade with third world countries but because the products are just plain great. 

                                                      

So I don't miss an opportunity to grab products when they go on sale especially 

if $20 products are reduced to $5. These are great stocking stuffers and teacher gifts. Best of all, the gift recipient has no idea you spent so little. 

So shop why don't you. 

Bargains under $5.00.

Gifts up to 50% off. 

Bath and Body under 50% off

And everything else. 

All orders over $60 get free shipping. 

Up to 30% off on Spring/Summer Merchandise at EDUN
