Changes to Frugal Rhode Island Mama

by | | 6 Comments

In the next few days you are going to see some changes at FrugalRIMama.com.  It will no longer be Frugal RI Mama, I will be changing my blog name and taking the Rhode Island out of the name.  I don't just talk about RI deals, as a matter of fact I pretty much talk about all National Deals.  Some stores may be regional but they are still covered in more than just RI. The layout of the blog will also be a little different.  I'm really excited to reveal the new site and as long as things go as planned, Monday night we will do the transfer. If you have FrugalRIMama.com bookmarked it will automatically go to the new site and I also believe it will change your bookmark, but don't hold me to...

Friday = Mega Swagbucks Day and You could win BIG!

by | | 0 Comments

Today, along with every Friday, is Mega Swagbucks Day, did you know that? Well just in case you didn't, I'm going to fill you in on this fun day. On Mega Swagbucks day, they award Swagbucks in increments of 10, 20, 50 and 100!!! Wouldn't that be nice to win 100 Swagbucks in one search. I was excited the other day when I won 3 Swagbucks but I'd be super excited if I won 100 or even 50. Remember 45 Swagbucks gets you a $5 Amazon Gift Card so 100 Swagbucks would get you a $10 Amazon Gift Card. You could earn that in 1 search. So make sure when you surf the web today and instead of using your bookmarks, search through Swagbucks and win yourself some Mega Swagbucks. Happy Surfing!!

CVS: Last Minute Valentine's Day Items

by | | 1 Comment

Don't forget about CVS when you are doing your last minute shopping for your favorite Valentine.   They don't just have candy and cards, they have a lot of great gift ideas and at GREAT prices! A representative of CVS sent me a few items to check out for Valentine's day and I'm happy to say I liked them all!  Here are a few things that you may want to consider for that special person: Grill Daddy -  This is really cool.  It's a grill cleaner for Dad (or mom too) and works with the heat of the grill.  All you do is put some water in and then when the water hits the grill, it turns to steam and it helps get off all the leftover 'food' on the grill.   This is a great gift for that man in your...
