Free Diaper Sample

Baby Diaper

EarthBaby is a compostable diaper service started by two Bay Area dads in 2008. These dads searched high and low for a convinient and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable diapers. Though single use compostable diapers were available, no service existed to compost them – no matter what, they’d still end up on a landfill..

Disposable diapers constitute the 3rd largest contributor (by volume) to US landfill sites (based on 2008 data). EarthBaby is looking to decrease this volume considerably by diverting m ore than 16,000 pounds of diaper waste from Bay Area landfills each week by converting it to nutrient-rich soil.

If you’re interested in trying one of these diapers, you can simply enter your information here to get a FREE sample. Unfortunately, this service is currently only provided for the San Francisco Bay Area, but if you are in this area, this is a wonderful cause that is worth trying.

Free Mountain Green Laundry Detergent Samples

Mountain Green Laundry Detergent Samples

Not a bad deal here! Detergent can be so expensive, especially the kind I want for my family (biodegradable, plant-based, no harsh chemicals, safe for sensitive skin, etc.)

I stumbled upon Mountain Green products while I was researching the laundry detergents out there these days, and I really love what I see here. As of right now, you can only buy Mountain green  products on Mountain Green’s website or at their manufacturing facility in Arizona. If you prefer to purchase at a store, they are able to be found at SOME natural/health food retailers.

Most importantly, Mountain Green is giving out (virtually) free samples on their website for $2. Laundry samples are available for Lavender Laundry Detergent, Free & Clear Laundry Detergent, Lavender Fabric Softener and Free & Clear Fabric Softener. You can specify in the Customer Notes which product you’d like to choose – you get 5 trial sizes!

Free Sample Concentrate 128

Concentrate 128

Did you know that when you buy any kind of ready-to-use cleaning chemical at the store, that they are 95% water? News to me!

Concentrate 128 is a concentrate cleaning product that relies on you to dilute and mix on your own. They are taking an initiative to go green by using this concentrated product – just think about how much money and resource that’s been wasted on shipping water back and forth around the country!

Concentrate 128 is a powerful, peroxide cleaning solution that cleans any surface not harmed by water, from windows to floors – it’s up to you! It can be used in spray bottles, mop buckets, carpet extractors, etc. It’s 100% biodegradable AND cost efficient. Since it is so highly concentrated, one quart of Concentrate 128 can make up to 128 courts of all purpose cleaner at less than $0.05/quart – hence the name!

FREE Ebook on Canning, Pickling, and Freezing

Canning Food

I see a lot of ebooks out there in the world every day that are free – if you aren’t aware of these resources, always check Amazon! A ton of ‘classics’ are free and they run a good deal of temporary promotions outside of these as well.

There’s one in particular that is being offered for a limited time. Canning, Pickling and Freezing with Irma Harding: Recipes to Preserve Food, Family, and the American Way is a book that is not only FREE right now, but one that will help you maintain some money-saving habits through the process of food preservation.

These days, canning preservation is not nearly as common as it was awhile back, but it’s an incredibly budget friendly way to maintain food.

Reviews look incredible – say that it is a must-read for canning newbies, and that the instructions make things sound super easy.

Back To School!

back_to_school

‘Tis the season. If you aren’t experiencing this as we speak this Monday, you are sure to soon. Gone are the days of camping and vacations and entertaining your kids all day long, but only to be replaced by lunch packing, school supplies, and carpools. There’s been TONS of deals and cute ideas all over the internet for back to school, and I wanted to share some of my favorite ones!

Deals

Ah, Staples, a staple in back to school shopping. Check out their site for all their sales from $7 for 4 dozen #2 Pencils, to $3 for a 24 pack of Crayola colored pencils to $3 for a 10 pack of Crayola markers. Essential items, discounted.

Walmart is also an incredible discount resource that makes life easier by allowing free in-store pickup and even free shipping in some cases. Save yourself some time and check out some of their deals. From $7 4-pack composition books and $7 4-packs of spiral notebooks to $5 for 2 dozen ball point pens they’ve definitely got you covered. Also interesting are their bundles! Prices range for their K-2nd Grade bundles but these allow you to get all the essentials in the styles you’re looking for. Makes it much easier not to overbuy or forget necessary items. Love it!

Back to School purchases aren’t limited to supplies – your growing kids need some new clothes for the new year as well. I always hate splurging on clothes that hardly fit them after a mere year, so I stand by Old Navy as my go-to! They’re stylish and trendy and definitely do not break the bank. They run tons of promotions and discounts and you know you are NEVER paying full price – the best feeling! Old Navy has everything from $20 for a 4-pack of uniform collared shirts to $8 denim – insane!

Back to School Fun

Back to School is also an opportunity to be, well, adorable. I still have pictures from my first day from Kindergarten to my Senior Year of High School. I was annoyed while they were happening, but I truly treasure them now.

I absolutely adore these FREE chalkboard printables – print them, frame them, and voila – adorable.

Thanks, YellowBlissRoad!

Also totally adore MeAndMyInsanity’s idea of simply using a spiral notebook. It’s to theme, it’s cheap, and so, so easy.

The options are endless, and you’ll really love having these keepsakes. Hope this was helpful, and don’t forget to also check out Free Printable Lunch Notes to make sure your kids know you are thinking about them all day long and to have a wonderful day!

FREE Poo~Purri (You Heard Right!)

Here’s something silly! I think the whole family will get a kick out of poo~purri!

Poo~purri promises a toilet spray that REALLY WORKS. When you spray poo~purri into the bowl before you go, their formula creates a protective barrier on the water’s surface. The barrier is designed to trap unpleasant bathroom odors beneath the surface and keep them out of the air. All you’ll smell is a refreshing bouquet of essential oils!

Keep this in your personal bathroom or even your handbag and what you do in the bathroom is YOUR business only! The product is environmentally and septic-friendly. They even offer a 30-day money back stink-free guarantee – that’s pretty serious!

If you buy any $7.56 bottle (not terrible), you get a FREE 50 use 1oz bottle of their original formula. Plus, don’t forget – money back guarantee if you aren’t feeling it.

This makes a hilariously awesome gift, too!

As they say, the proof is in the pooping! Enjoy, haha 🙂

FREE Arm&Hammer™ Toothpaste Sample!

Every time I go to the dentist I get a lecture about two things:

1) Flossing

2) Enamel protection

Flossing, this can’t help you much with. Frankly, I’m not sure what will help me remember to floss daily.

Enamel protection, at least this exists to make things easier. I drink a lot of lemon tea/water and coffee – it’s important to understand that this dulls down your enamel and can be potentially dangerous. Some toothpastes may be able to help prevent this.

With this, I tell you to check out Arm&Hammer’s™ Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste enhanced with a refreshing twist of mint. This toothpaste is said to go beyond whitening the surface to strengthen, clean, and repair tooth enamel in just 5 days!
