Ebates: Holiday Savings + Win $100 Cash!

Every year, my son Cam starts dreaming up his holiday wish list around Halloween. This is when the thick holiday gift guides from Toys R Us and Target, start showing up in our mailbox!

When he was younger, he would cut out the photos from the holiday books and create a collage of gifts he wants. Now, at age 10, he prefers to create his wish list on Amazon.com, making it easy for me to email the link to family and friends.

This year, he wants LEGO Ninjago sets, an iPad! and other assorted video games and toys. With some of these gifts getting up there in price, it makes sense to shop through Ebates to get cash back!

As for my husband Walt and me, my husband always wants electronics of some sort. One year, it was a ROKU player, another year it was an Apple TV. I tend to go for cookware, like last year I got a Rachael Ray cookware set (love it, highly recommend!) and this year I really want a Keurig K-Cup. I've been wanting to try out all the different coffee flavors, hot cocoa, etc. And when our family stops by, it will be so nice to have a fresh cup of coffee waiting for them- or they can choose their own flavor, which I think is a really cool feature of the Keurig.

As I spend a lot of time online and blogging, over the years I've been blogging (10 years next year!), I have shifted to doing most of my shopping online too. I love shopping online year-round but especially at holiday time.

Here are my top 5 money-saving online shopping tips:

1. Look for coupon codes. This is the #1 way I save money online. By combining coupon codes, with free shipping and a sale, most of the time, you can save much more than you would in store.

2. Snatch up a deal. Sometimes it pays to wait for a price to go down. Other times, like with Amazon.com, their prices fluctuate almost daily. So if you see a great price on Amazon, especially during their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, pick it up before the price increases!

3. Read product reviews. Walt buys most of his electronics online. It is much easier to compare online reviews, prices, etc. vs. going into Best Buy and trying to figure out which product is the best.

4. Shop around. There are so many great online stores. I tend to stick with a few like Amazon.com and Overstock.com, but with earning cash back with Ebates, it makes sense to try out a few new stores too!

5. Earn cash back. If you aren't already earning cash back from Ebates, you are losing money! Ebates makes it super easy to earn cash back and get a nice big check, direct deposit or you can even donate your cash to your favorite charity.

If you aren't already a member, it takes less than 15 seconds to sign-up for your $10 Target, Barnes & Noble or Home Depot gift card bonus and join Ebates.

Sign up today and you'll be all set to earn cash back on Cyber Monday! All you have to do is log into your Ebates account, find your favorite stores, click through the link and shop. The money will be deposited into your account. Ebates makes it so easy to earn cash back.

Discover how online shopping saves you time and money this holiday season. Ebates is a great destination for online deals and you get cash back! Sign up today!

Reply below and be entered to win $100 cash from Ebates. Sweepstakes Rules.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ebates. The opinions and text are all mine.

Giveaway: Net10 Android Prepaid Phone

My son Cam turned 10 a few months ago. Since then, he has been talking non-stop about wanting a phone! Several of his friends already have phones. He'll be in middle school next year so I thought he was getting old enough for a phone.

So when Giant Eagle contacted me to review their Android phone with unlimited talk, text and web for 30 days, I knew it was the perfect fit!

I like that everything is prepaid, so Cam doesn't go over his minutes.

If you’re interested in a no contract phone you can find more information about Giant Eagle’s no contract phone program here.  I think prepaid phones are the best because you aren't stuck in a contract.

Giant Eagle is offering a FREE phone to one lucky Savingsmania reader. The phone includes 30 days of unlimited minutes, text and data thanks to GIANT EAGLE!

Here’s what 1 winner will receive:

 

  • Net10 Huawei Ascend II with 3.5″ touch screen, Android 2.3 OS, and 5 MP camera/video.
  • NET10 unlimited wireless card which includes unlimited talk, text and web for 30 days.

 

If you don’t live near a Giant Eagle, you can still enter to win!  The NET10 phone can be activated from any place that has internet.  You can also load an additional 30 days of minutes, data and texting by visiting your online account.

To enter to win, just tell me why you'd like to win this phone. Please include your name and email address, so we can contact you if you win. Entries close on Thursday, Oct.25, 2012 @ 5 pm EDT.

One entry per person, US only. Giant Eagle will be shipping out your prize. Be sure to include your email address in "Author Email" field below, so I can contact you if you win.

My Hershey's Halloween Party

Our family loves Halloween. Every year, I like to make treats and set out bowls of candy for my son Cam and his friends. We always have a great time on Halloween, it is one of our favorite holidays. So when Hershey asked me to share some of my favorite Halloween traditions and recipes, I was happy to!

Hershey is our go-to source for chocolate and the best candy.

 

I decided to make this recipe and modified it a little bit.

Ingredients

  • dash salt
  • 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons hot water
  • PEANUT BUTTER DRIZZLE (recipe follows)
  • 3 tablespoons REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips
  • 1 teaspoon shortening
  • BROWNIE FROSTING(recipe follows)
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups REESE'S MINI PIECES Candy, divided
  • water
  • vegetable oil
  • 1 package (19.8 oz.) fudge brownie mix

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom of 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

  2. Prepare brownie mix as directed on package for fudge-like brownies. Spread half of brownie batter into prepared pan.

  3. Sprinkle 3/4 cup candies over batter. Carefully spread remaining batter over candy.

  4. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean. Remove from oven to wire rack; cool slightly.

  5. Prepare and spread CHOCOLATE FROSTING over brownie.

  6. Sprinkle and gently press remaining 3/4 cup candies over frosting.

  7. Prepare and drizzle PEANUT BUTTER DRIZZLE over candy. Cool completely in pan. Makes 12 brownies.

Be sure to go here to find more Hershey recipes!

First, I headed out to Walmart to pick up my ingredients. With it being such a hot summer, I hadn't been baking a lot, so I had to pick up Crisco, Hershey's cocoa powder and a few more items. It was a nice cool, fall like day when I worked on this, so it got me in the mood for Halloween!

Next, the instructions said to mix up the brownie mix first:

After mixing it up, I put half of the batter in the 13x9 baking dish.

I added a layer of Reese's peanut butter chips:

After 30 min. bake time, the brownies are done!! Yum, look at all those peanut butter chips!

 

The next part of the recipe is to prepare the chocolate frosting:

CHOCOLATE FROSTING:

Melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine in saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; add 2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa stirring until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and dash of salt. Gradually add 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar with 6 tablespoons hot water, stirring until smooth. About 2 cups frosting.

I melted a stick of butter, Hershey's cocoa and vanilla. 

Then I gradually added in the powdered sugar:

After the frosting was throughly mixed, I spread it over the cooled brownies. Nothing is better than homemade frosting!

Add the Reese's Pieces and you are all set! Cut into squares, eat and enjoy!

 

I was so inspired with this recipe and loving Halloween so much, I made up a sample tablescape!

And my son got dressed up too in this year's Halloween costume! Cam being 10, is more into scary costumes than when he was little, so he wanted to be the grim reaper. Here is Cam, ready to party!

Giveaway: Walmart Gift Card + HP's New XL Ink

 

 

I recently was given the opportunity to shop @ Walmart and share with you the new HP XL ink!

With school back in session, we are printing more than ever! My son Cam has tons of school projects, and I like that this ink lasts longer than other types of cartridges.

HP’s XL ink cartridges fit in your HP printer like a regular cartridge, but they hold more ink. The best part is that HP’s broad assortment of XL inks are now available at Walmart so you can stock up on ink when you buy groceries.

You can save up to 40% on printing with HP XL ink cartridges, compared with single standard HP ink cartridges and based on average retail pricing, actual prices may vary. HP’s XL ink cartridges fit in your printer like regular cartridges.

I thought XL meant it would be too big for my printer but I found that’s not the case! You can buy online and in store.

 

I also stocked up on lots of great stuff. With Walmart's low prices, I was able to get a lot!

I also stocked up on apples, Glade products, hamburger and boneless chicken (not pictured). They were also very coupon friendly. For example, I got the Kraft Fresh Take for only $1.37 each (after $1 off coupon), the Dial soap for free, and the Farm Rich mozzerella bites for $1.17 each box, after $1 off coupon.

It was a very fun and productive shopping trip. I also checked out the Halloween items while I was there, they had a great selection of costumes and decorations.

We are giving away a $ 20 Walmart gift card to 1 lucky Savingsmania reader! Just tell us what you would print with the new HP XL ink, along with your name and email address, so we can contact you if you win. Entries close on Thursday, Sept.27th @ 5 pm EST.

Gooseberry Patch Giveaway: 101 Cozy Casserole Cookbook

Gooseberry Patch recently offered me the chance to review their new cookbook Gooseberry Patch 101 Cozy Casseroles

I've been a Gooseberry Patch fan for a long time and follow them on Pinterest too. You can also like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

I have always loved their down to earth recipes. I decided to make the Cheeseburger Bake. Here's how it went!

First I gathered up all my ingredients. This is a very easy but tasty recipe! All you'll need is a tube of crescent rolls, taco seasoning, tomato sauce, cheddar cheese and a lb. of hamburger.

Then I rolled out the crescent roll dough and pushed into the pan, being sure to match up the seams.

Then I browned up the ground beef.

Then I added in the sauce mixture and cheese. It's ready to bake!

Here's the finished product!

 

 

Delicious and hearty fall casserole!

Giveaway: Ihop $25 Gift Card

Ihop recently gave us the opportunity to visit and enjoy a meal. We've been going to Ihop for awhile (no one can beat their pancakes!) My sister Emily and her husband Jeff were visiting for the weekend, so we decided to go out to Ihop for a late breakfast/lunch.

 

Here is Em and Jeff enjoying their meal!

Em got the garden crepe, with a side of onion rings. Looks delish!

 

Jeff ordered the crispy quesadillas. We all shared a side of mozzerella sticks, yum!

 

Cameron ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries- his favorite!

 

I ordered a yummy ham and cheese omelet, with a side of pancakes. I almost always order breakfast when I go to Ihop, it's one of my favorite things on the menu.
