Soft Scrub Giveaway!

I recently received a free bottle of Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath and Kitchen Cleanser to try out.  Thank goodness because I was running low on cleanser and I don't think there is a brand I trust more than Soft Scrub.  It always gets the job done!  I couldn't wait to try out this new product.

There is a new bottle design which is pretty snazzy.  It's easy to hold now that some texture has been added into the bottle - reducing the likelihood that you will drop the bottle.  I'm clumsy in a Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy kinda way so that was cool to me.  It also has a new cap which made dispensing it easy.  No leaks or drips. 

The thing I like the most is that I can use it anywhere!  No dragging different products all around. It is an all purpose cleanser so I can use it on the bathtub, tiles, grout, sinks, faucets... anywhere!!!  It also has a refreshing lemon scent.  I love cleaning with lemon. It is the perfect scent for the bathroom or the kitchen.  I also used it on my stove top which is always hard for me to clean and the spills came right up with no problem.  I'm sold!  I can't ever keep that stove top clean!

You know I wouldn't keep this fabulous product to myself.  I have 3 beautiful coupons to giveaway - each valid for one FREE Soft Scrub product of your choosing!  I'd recommend trying out the new Total All Purpose Cleanser.  You know you want your stove to shine too!  Enter below for your chance to win.  Good Luck!

Honey Bunches of Love!

I was chatting with a friend online one night and she mentioned that she was just going to have a giant bowl of cereal for dinner.  As soon as she said it I knew that was exactly what I wanted too but alas, we were out of milk.  This was clearly a blessing in disguise because the next day I stopped by the store to pick up some milk and when I got home guess what was at the door waiting for me?

Excellent timing!  :-)  I'm always excited about a box from Purex Insiders but this one couldn't have been more perfect.  I didn't even get to the milk!  As soon as I got in I started chatting with the boyfriend so I just opened it up and started snacking.  It's delicious.  I LOVE the crispy mango clusters and I'm not even going to lie I started digging around in the box for them. There are also tasty flakes of coconut! I did eventually get around to pouring milk over a big bowl of it and it was just as yummy but I wouldn't recommend letting it sit.  It does get a bit soggy if you happen to wander away for a few minutes like I did.  

"Human, these are my coupons!"

So for our second February Friday Freebie I have a few extra coupons for a free box of Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blend cereal so be sure to register below so you can try this out for yourself!  I'll wrestle them away from Artemis and put them in the mail for 3 lucky winners!

February Friday Freebies! #1 - 20 Mule Team Borax

To celebrate the month of LOVE The Savings Spot will have a giveaway every Friday for the rest of February!  The giveaway will be posted on Friday & winners will be chosen at 8pm EST on Thurs. nights.

Up first in the February Friday Freebies is 20 Mule Team Borax!
Many of you are probably saying "Huh?" and I'm not going to lie... I said the same thing.

What is Borax?
Borax is the common name for sodium tetraborate: a naturally occurring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes.  20 Mule Team Borax is a 100% natural mineral from the earth. Once it is removed from the ground it is washed, dried and boxed for consumers. Absolutely nothing is added - no phosphates, chlorine or other additive chemicals.

Now you are saying "Thanks for the science lesson but huh?"  Again, I thought the same thing!

What can I do with this stuff?
20 Mule Team Borax naturally softens hard water (water that contains calcium and magnesium ions).  Did you know that over 85% of homes have hard water?  I didn't.  I'm learning all kinds of things this time around!!!  How does hard water effect you and your laundry?  When you add detergent to hard water, some of the compounds attach to calcium and magnesium granules that settle on the bottom of your washing machine, eventually retreating down the drain without actually cleaning your clothes. Borax naturally softens the hard water which can protect your detergent - maximizing cleaning power!  This means that using 20 Mule Team Borax with your regular detergent will leave you with cleaner clothes and it helps keep stains from being re-deposited back onto clothes.

Awesome! I love clean clothes!  What else can I do with Borax?
Funny you should ask!   Check out this link HERE for info on how to use Borax for all kinds of things!  Use it for not only cleaning other areas of your home (including kitchens, bathrooms and carpets) but also for arts and crafts projects.  It also outlines how you can use 20 Mule Team Borax to get your candles to stop smoking!

So how do I get my hands on some of this 20 Mule Team Borax?
I just so happen to have 3 coupons to give away!  Each coupon is good for one FREE box of 20 Mule Team Borax.  Sweet right?  Enter now for your chance to win.  3 winners will be chosen at random at 8pm EST on February14.  Ahhhh... love and borax.  :-)  Good luck everyone!
