Thrifty Tips for February 7, 2013

Photobucket
WEBSITE

Does the idea of buying another gift kind of freak you out a bit?  Check out WantfulWantful is a wonderful site that makes gift giving super easy.  Go to the site and give information about your recipient and occasion.  Wantful will give you all kinds of options in your price range that maybe you didn't think of. The more you know about the person, the better the options are. 


GIFT IDEA FOR YOUR VALENTINE
THIS or THAT

Spend $49.99 on a dozen pretty chocolate dipped strawberries via online gourmet shops OR buy three 4ct Chocolate Dipped Long Stemmed Strawberries for $17.97 ($5.99 per 4 ct)

Spend $39.99 online on a 4.5 inch mini rose pot OR pick your own mini rose pot at Fry's for $4.99

And let's not forget the printable coupons.  Give the gift of your time to your spouse and also your kids.  Maybe make a coupon granting the kiddos a matinee film with you, time at the park, or maybe handle their chores for the week.  For your sweetheart you could offer a picnic, massage after a rough day, breakfast in bed, dinner & a movie.  Seriously there are lots of options and this link allows you to make your own options or use premade printables from Homemade Gifts Made Easy.  Don't forget your friends.  Coupons are fun for them too.

FREE ACTIVITIES

Are you a Diamondbacks fan?  Why not head over to Chase Field for the 9th annual Arizona Diamondbacks FanFest.  From 10 am to 5 pm,  there will be all kinds of fun activities including a 5K run (check in from 6:30 am to 7:30 am), autograph sessions (kids free -adults have a limited number of $5 vouchers to purchase for autographs but that fee does go to the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, and opportunities to tour the clubhouse.  This is a great event with a huge draw. 

Enjoy the scenic views of some of Grand Canyon's stunning trails by checking out Google's Street view of the Grand Canyon.  Lots of trekking with the special back-pack mounted cameras taking 360 degree photos have afforded us all the chance to see what we are missing.  Maybe give us some extra exercise motivation for our own hike.  Check out all the great trail views here.

With a celebration of all things chocolate, you might just want to head on over to the Glendale Chocolate Affaire at Murphy park in downtown Glendale.  Admission is free and all the tasty fun starts Friday, February 8, 2013 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday February 9, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday February 10, 2013 from noon to 5 p.m.  You can also tour Glendale's fabulous candy makers Cerreta's.  More details here.


GROCERIES
(Tip: The price of lettuce has hiked up because of the freeze.  Napa cabbage can make a really nice lettuce substitute in a pinch.  It is lighter tasting and crisper than your typical cabbage and is much cheaper.  Test it out for a lettuce wrap.)
