Contesting Monday

Welcome to Contesting Monday! I figured what could make facing Mondays a little more fun than entering some great drawings. So here is the deal. I will start you guys off with a couple of giveaways and then you put yours, or your finds, into Mr. Linky. If you are hosting a giveaway or have a post about someone's giveaway just leave a link. Make sure this link is to the giveaway post and not the blog or it will be deleted. If you listed it last week but your giveaway is still open, list it again! Also your link must be to something family friendly or it will be deleted. Here are just a couple of giveaways to get you all started!

One of my favorite blogs, Clutter Control Freaks Blog at Stacks and Stacks, is running a joke contest with some great prizes. The 1st place prize is a $100 Gift Certificate. So pop over with your best family friendly joke!

McCormick Grill Mates is running weekly giveaway for Grill Mate Prize Packs. They look to be full of yummy things that are perfect for those summer BBQ (or here in California, anytime!). You can enter once daily!

Freebies with Reading

Now it is summer time and the bookstores often have Summer Reading programs. This summer is no different.

Barnes and Noble have posted the details of their program along with the tear page the kids need to fill out. They need to read 8 books to get a free one off the list. It is for grades 1-6 and there doesn't seem to be a limit. The program runs until Sept 2nd.

Apparently Borders also has a program but you need to go into their stores to find the details.

If I find and more I will report back!

Carrow's Freebies!

Carrow's Restaurants has some interesting freebies. The first one is a free dessert for signing up for their "E-Club". Just fill out the form and they email you a coupon. There seems to be a promise for more things in the future but I can't promise. The other freebie is a birthday meal for your kids. For this one you have to go into the restaurant and get a form. Now they will say in the restaurant that you can register online but they are wrong! Then during your child's birthday month they send a post card for a free meal. A key is that there is no expiration or use conditions. I started this with my oldest at birth (ie to young to eat their). Recently we took some of the back logged coupons in. We also took in a Buy 1 Get 1 for my husband and I. We put our meals on 1 bill and all the kids on another and we got out of there for the price of 1 meal and 2 drinks for all of us!

New Little Einsteins Milk

Recently Stemicks Heritage Foods came out with Little Einsteins milk that is rBST hormone-free and enriched with Omega-3 DHA and I wanted to share a link for a $1 off coupon. What makes this different is the Omega-3 DHA that is also found in baby formula. DHA is important in the development of the brain, especially from birth - 5 years of age when the brain increases approximately 3-1/2 times in mass. DHA is the primary fat in both the brain and retina, and ensures that cells in the brain retina, heart and other parts of the nervous system develop and function properly. Each eight ounce serving providing up to 32mg of DHA. Disney Little Einsteins milk is available as a 64-ounce package in low fat 1% and reduced fat 2%. So go, take the coupon and try it;).
