Free Book for Teens
I’m dreading the teen years. Seriously. I used to have these visions of being the “cool mom” and having a home that my kids wanted to bring their friends to everyday after school. Now, I believe that the terrible twos are just to give parents a glimpse of the teenage years on a smaller scale and I’m terrified. Annie Fox has a great book designed to give teens realistic advice on how to have healthy relationships and she is giving away a free digital copy. If you have a teen or know anyone who does, be sure and pass on this great resource to them.

Nike Clearance Sale
The Nike store has a great clearance sale going on now. Shipping is free for new registered users and you can use the coupon code NEXT76 to receive an additional 20% off your purchase. After along winter, my kids’ shoes are starting to look pretty worn. This is a great time to stock up on some new shoes and clothes for summer.
Free Preschool Art Kit
One of the companies that I came across during my trip to New York for Toy Fair was 1 2 3 Preschool Projects. I’m a big fan of open-ended art projects for preschoolers and while it can be fairly simple to provide preschoolers with opportunities to experiment with art projects, many parents like to have all the materials provided. 1 2 3 Preschool Projects has a great free sample that gives parents a peek at their products and provides a simple art activity for preschoolers.
Woot-off! going on now!
Both Woot! and Kids Woot! are currently running Woot-offs! For those of you unfamiliar with Woot! It is a site that typically posts one deal a day. Occassionally, they run a Woot-off which sells one item until it sells out and then moves on to the next. Some of the items are great deals and some are simply crap (they ever call it that!). Enjoy!
Free Pretzel Day at Auntie Anne’s
There is nothing like a nice, warm pretzel for the ultimate kid-friendly treat. I have always loved Auntie Anne’s buttery pretzels, although I’m sure my waistline is not too happy with them. Saturday, February 20th is Free Pretzel day at Auntie Anne’s Pretzels. Visit an Auntie Anne’s Pretzel between the hours of 10:00 am – 3:00 pm and receive a free original or cinnamon sugar pretzel (limit one per person). If you need a little help waking up to take advantage of this frugal deal, Auntie Anne’s is even offering a free wake up call for Saturday morning.
Free Pants from Dockers
As the mother of 3 boys, I shouldn’t say this too loudly, but I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and even then it doesn’t really hold my attention (although any chance to eat tasty snacks is just fine with me). Watch for the Dockers ad “Men Without Pants” (yea, I was wondering if it was a beer commercial too). As soon as it comes on, go to the Dockers website. The first 2,990 people to register win a free pair of Dockers khaki pants valued at $30.00. You can also enter by texting DOCKERS to 76060 after seeing the ad.
Farberware Muffin Pan Deal
My kids love muffins and baking them the day before simplifies breakfast for us. The problem is we never seem to have enough muffin pans. I’m still using the ones I got as a wedding present and considering we will celebrate our 9th anniversary this year, it is probably time for some new ones. Amazon has a great deal on muffin pans right now. You can use these to replace your own muffin pans or set them aside for a frugal wedding gift. Farberware Muffin Pans are on sale for $11.95 (down from $17.00) but the deal gets better than that. These are eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion so if you buy 3 you get a 4th muffin pan for free making them only $8.96 each!
Free Preparedness Packs
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends that every each household in the US should have at least a three day supply of non-perishable food on hand in case of an emergency or natural disaster. Seeing the devastation in Haiti has made me recommit to making sure my family is protected in case of an emergency and updating our 72 hour kids will definitely be at the top of our list this year. Prepare then Share is giving away free samples of their preparedness packs.
Free Diapers from Pampers
Pampers is giving away free samples of their new Dry Max Cruisers today only ( January 29, 2010). If you are a mom with a child in diapers, free diapers are always a hit, but Pampers it making this offer even better. Moms who receive a specially marked diapers in their sample pack will receive a years supply of diapers for free!
