Review baby products and get $5 credit toward toys and baby gear!

03/25/2010 by Penny Saver

Amazing offer alert! Franklin Goose is offering $5 per review for anything on their website, and it is unlimited! Review 10 items and get $50! They explain it on their Facebook and blog, but there is no mention on the site itself. They’re a bit overwhelmed by the response so it may take a few days to get your credit. I spent most of the evening reviewing natural toys, cloth diapers, and any other product on their site I’d seen in person to give a fair evaluation. This will be fantastic for birthday and Christmas presents!

I took the kids over to the Elizabeth Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto today. It was lovely weather and a trip to see many gorgeous flowers was in order! They loved running around the paths with their buddy who joined us, and I loved seeing all of the colorful flowers and plants coming into spring.

I also finished using my Kohl’s gift certificates, buying a few pairs of jeans for myself and a Mother’s Day gift for both of our moms. It wasn’t as good a deal as the other day, but I saved over $200.00 and had a nice chat about finding bargains with the sales clerk who helped me. (Hi, Carolyn!)

I’ve been a busy bee over here and completely neglected my Scratch vs. Store Bought Refried Beans tonight. They’ll be made tomorrow and reviewed for a Saturday post. The next couple of days are likely to be busy, too, with a few mystery shops, activities with the kids, babysitting, a night out with a girlfriend, and my super secret project announcement, which will be here Sunday.

  • Welcome to The Saved Quarter!

    My goal for 2010: Save our quarters!
    * 3 months’ expenses (a quarter of the year)
    * $6,000 (a quarter of our annual income)
    * and our home and household from the discord that comes from poor money management.

    I love comments! Feel free to leave me a note of encouragement, ideas, a question, or constructive criticism. Thanks for stopping by, and please subscribe so you can come back soon!

    You can e-mail me at thesavedquarter (at) gmail (dot) com.
