Save On Your Electric Bill - Win A Cost Cutting Advanced Power Strip!

Do you hate rising electric bills? I could NOT believe that my bill this month was over $100 for the second month in a row and there are only 2 full-time employed adults in our house. I started to think about ways to reduce my electric bill because we simply cannot afford many more months of $100+ bills. 
Did you know that some electronic devices like televisions and alarm clocks,  continue to use electricity to power peripherals such as remote controls and clock displays even when they are turned off? Many people don’t realize that this “phantom” load, or standby power loss, can account for approximately 5 to 10 percent of your annual energy cost, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Advanced power strips (APS) cut standby power loss using distinct outlets designed to save you energy and money, while offering all the same features as standard power strips, such as surge suppression. An advanced power strip is able to cut the power to your electronics when they are not being used, saving energy and saving you up to $30 annually.
With school back in session and the fall season upon us, many of us are spending more time at home – kids doing homework on their computers and connecting with their friends and classmates online, and families watching more TV as the days grow shorter. You can learn more about APS at Mass Save.com:  http://www.masssave.com/residential/lighting-and-appliances/home-electronics/advanced-power-strips
And now, thanks to my good friends over at MassSave, you can win your very own APS! 
**To enter, leave a comment here with your first name and the state in which you live. Be sure to comment using a valid email address so I can contact the winners!

There are 2 APS devices available and 2 winners will be chosen via random.org. The giveaway closes on October 1st at midnight EST. Winners will be posted on the website and contacted via their listed email. Winners must respond within 48 hours or another winner will be chosen.

Why You Should Always Enter Give-Aways!

Why should you always enter give-aways? Because you can't win unless you enter!!

I recently entered a give-away on one of my favorite blogger's page, Melanie in the Middle. I typically enter her give-aways, not ever thinking I'd win because she has such a huge fan base, which means a large number of readers enter her contests.

Well, what do ya know... I won a Johnson & Johnson package of products.

And here's my loot. Much of it will be dispersed to my friends and family who can use the items. My husband wasn't too happy when I suggested we replace our plain old band-aids with cute Hello Kitty ones.


So make sure you enter all those give aways you see on Facebook and the various blogs you may read. You  just might win!

HOOD® BLIMP RETURNS TO NEW ENGLAND’S SKIES

Leading Dairy Brand Launches “Hood Blimp Spotting” Social Media Contest
Hood to Donate Portion of Red Sox Ice Cream and Novelty Sales to Red Sox Foundation


Lynnfield, Mass. -- (August 3, 2012) – The Hood® Blimp is officially back for the 2012 season. The Hood Blimp, famous for representing the leading dairy brand in New England, will make its Boston debut on Saturday, August 4th, over the 7:10 p.m. ET Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins game at Fenway Park. To celebrate its return, Hood is launching the “Hood Blimp Spotting” campaign. Beginning on August 4th, each photo of the Hood Blimp shared via social media channels will give fans a chance to win Hood/Red Sox prize packs including items like a Hood Ice Cream party, Red Sox tickets and a ride in the Hood Blimp. In addition, from now until October, Hood will donate $1* from the sales of each container of Hood Red Sox Ice Cream and Novelties, the Official Ice Cream of the Boston Red Sox, to the Red Sox Foundation, the team’s official charity program.

"For fans of all ages, seeing the Hood Blimp in the sky is a treasured part of summer here in New England – just like Hood Ice Cream," said Red Sox Senior Vice President and Executive Director of the Red Sox Foundation Meg Vaillancourt. "Now, through Hood's generous donation to the Red Sox Foundation, fans can help support programs for at-risk kids too. It’s a great way the whole family can help others!"

 To participate in the “Hood Blimp Spotting” program, spot the Blimp overhead in New England and snap and post a picture to the contest tab on HP Hood’s Facebook page or tweet the photo with the #HoodBlimp hashtag.

As a thank you for posting, entrants will be rewarded with a coupon that can be used towards Hood’s Red Sox Ice Cream and Novelty products. With every purchase of Hood Red Sox Ice Cream or Novelties through the end of the regular season, Hood will donate a portion of the sales to the Red Sox Foundation (up to $100,000).

 “The Hood Blimp is an iconic New England figure, and along with the launch of our new ice cream flavors this summer, we know the Blimp’s return will be another treat for our fans,” said Lynne Bohan, spokesperson for Hood. “As the Official Dairy of the Red Sox, we’re proud to promote our partnership with the region’s beloved baseball team by supporting such a worthy cause as the Red Sox Foundation.”

 In addition to filming a number of Red Sox games broadcast on New England Sports Network (NESN) and Fox Sports with an on-board high definition camera, the Blimp will fly over a variety of New England events in August and September. This includes 12 Red Sox home games, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in Providence, the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival, the Newport International Boat Show, and more.

The official team charity of the Boston Red Sox, the Red Sox Foundation, was created by the team's owners and partners in 2002 and has won awards for the impact of its innovative programs. Funds raised through Hood’s charitable fundraiser will support programs run by the Foundation, including the Red Sox Scholars program, which provides mentoring, enrichment opportunities and college scholarships to disadvantaged students, and the Foundation's inner city youth baseball and softball programs.

Giveaway! $40 Gift Certificate to Savinos Restaurant

Despite my frugal adventures, my husband and I always try to find room in our budget to share a night out at dinner once a week. We're newly married and don't have any children so it's important to us to spend at least one night a week together on a "date."

Eversave has helped us achieve this desire and has also helped us to keep down the cost of our meals out. I've been a member of Eversave for several years and have saved hundreds of dollars by purchasing their vouchers for meals at restaurants, movie theater tickets, gift certificates to retailers like Old Navy, mini golf tickets and so much more!

Right now, Eversave is offering an incredible deal for newly subscribed members. Sign up now (it's totally free) and earn yourself $10 in Eversave credit right off the bat to use towards most Eversave deals. You used to only get a $1 credit, so $10 is ten times better!!



And, once you're registered, if you refer your friends and family to Eversave, you'll get another $5 for each new person you subscribe when they make their first purchase!

And because I love Eversave so much and they seem to really love Coupon Mama Massachusetts, we have gotten together to offer CMM readers the opportunity to win an Eversave voucher worth $40 towards Savinos, an awesome restaurant in Belmont, MA. Just thinking about their shellfish stew makes my mouth water and my tummy rumble.

If you'd like to enter this giveaway, leave a comment with your first name and last initial, a valid email address where I can contact you if you win and the answer to this question: If you were to win today’s Save to Savinos, what would you order off of their menu?

Check out Savinos' Menu here!

Fine Print: The giveaway will end on Monday, 5/21/12, at 5pm EST. At that time, I will use Random.org to select a winner. The winner will be contacted by me at the email address provided and must respond with their username for Eversave so that Eversave can provide the gift certificate. Voucher must be used by the expiration date listed on the voucher itself.

Giveaway: $30 Gift Credit to PaperCoterie.com - Customized Photo Gifts!

Giveaway Information is below! Keep reading :-)

My husband thinks I'm a hoarder. My siblings think I'm a pack rat. I like to think I'm simply sentimental. Check out my home office and you'll find box upon box (upon box) of photos. Of course, along with being sentimental I'm also unorganized and not very artistic, thus, photos that should have long ago been strategically and creatively placed in a scrapbook have been thrown haphazardly into photo boxes and shoved underneath my desk to collect dust.


Every time I sit down with my scrapbook paper, fancy stickers and acid-free adhesive, I feel overwhelmed and give up after I snip the first photo crookedly, once again throwing my supplies and my photos in a corner. But now I've discovered a whole new realm of scrapbooking for artistically impaired people like me!

After my wedding and my Aruban honeymoon in August, I wanted to make a really nice scrapbook for my husband's birthday in September chronicling our relationship and reminding him of why I fell in love with him four years ago. And here enters the beloved PaperCoterie, an amazing website that allows you to create professional-looking customized photo gifts in a cinch.

PaperCoterie offers a variety of photo gifts to choose from at a variety of prices. You can make the typical array of photo gifts you find on other sites, such as calendars, greeting cards and photobooks. But PaperCoterie goes above and beyond and offers customized growth charts for your little ones, desktop sentiments, which are plaques on a decorate stand, as well as a photo box to keep special papers and other memories.

Since I had wanted to attempt to make a scrapbook on my own, I chose to make a hardcovered photobook for my husband. I've made photobooks for him before using other websites, but PaperCoterie's quality is unsurpassed. PaperCoterie offers a ton of different options when it comes to photobooks. Depending on your purpose, there are various template to choose from including books geared specifically towards certain family members (to Dad, Grandma, Brother, etc.), an "I wish" edition which allows you to record your hopes and dreams, and the one I chose "I love" which lets you list and describe in photo form the many reasons you love your significant other.


The online program used to upload photos and edit the template doesn't require any download and is really user friendly. After uploading my photos from our wedding and our honeymoon, it took me only a half an hour to put together the whole photobook. It really was a cinch.

My husband was so impressed with the photobook (and he's hard to impress!). He's not very sentimental, but I swear I saw a tear forming!

Since he and I loved the photobook so much, I decided to let PaperCoterie know how awesome they are. To thank me, they are offering $30 gift credits for me to giveaway to my readers, so you, too, can discover how amazing their products are!



If you're interested in checking out PaperCoterie's amazing photogifts, please enter my giveaway. If someone you refer through the Giveaway application wins, you will win a $30 credit too!

Gift credit can be used on any product purchase (no minimum, but left credit will be forfeited). Shipping & handling is not included. Gift credit expires December 31, 2011.

The Adventures of Chip Doolin - possible giveaway!

The Adventures of Chip Doolin by Neal Bogosian is a must read for young adults and baseball fans alike!! This paperback craftfully wraps you in the adventures of Chip Doolin, a farmer boy who evolves into famous baseball player.


Here's a description from Amazon.com:

Before Babe Ruth, there was Chip Doolin! Set in 1909, in an America that was spirited and thriving, and when opportunity and virtue were still abundant, The Adventures of Chip Doolin are the improbable and often humorous tales of a farm boy from Somewhere, Virginia, who has few life tools and an abundance of raw talent, who becomes the starting first baseman for the 1909 Detroit Tigers. It soon becomes apparent that the fate of Chip Doolin is a blessed one - heroics and home runs are part of his destiny. The stories chronicle Chip's subsequent adventures on and off the baseball diamond, including his courtship with "Eleanor Ferris, the blue-eyed daughter of Mr. Ferris, whom Chip had fancied ever since he knew about the bond between a man and a woman." Chip's fantastic follies are often amongst some of baseball's most prominent and colorful luminaries including Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker, Rube Waddell and Hughie Jennings, with cameo appearances from the likes of famed boxer John L. Sullivan, President Willam Howard Taft, and famed writer, Ring Lardner. The stories are sure to warm the nostalgic hearts of baseball fans young and old.


And I'm lucky enough to personally know the author, Neal Bogosian. In fact, not only do I know him, but I have the pleasure and honor of calling him my friend!


If you'd like to know more about the author, Neal Bogosian, check out this biographical piece.


I highly recommend reading The Adventures of Chip Doolin. It can be purchased on Amazon.com as a paperback copy (eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime!), as well as an ebook. Great way to use those Amazon.com gift cards you got by using Swagbucks!

It's also available as a paperback copy through Barnes & Noble.  Shop through ShopAtHome and get 4% back when you buy from Barnes & Noble


So I'm considering giving away an autographed copy of this wonderful book! But I'll only give away a copy if there seems to be enough interest! So PLEASE, let me know if you'd be interested in reading this book, AND, if you'd love to have a signed copy as I'm sure Neal Bogosian will soon become an author on the Best Sellers list!
