ENERGY STAR Appliance & Home Improvement Tax Exemption Holiday for Texas ~ May 28-30

Posted on May 24, 2011 | Leave a comment

Please pass along to anyone in the home improvement market…

Good News! During Memorial Day weekend, Texas shoppers get a break from
sales tax on purchases of some appliances and energy-efficient products like refrigerators and clothes washers ~ even lightbulbs! This is a great way to get an extra “discount” and save on future energy costs if you are in the market for any of these items.

The products qualifying for the tax exemption are:

Refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less (college dorm-sized refrigerators even qualify)!
Ceiling fans
Incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs
Clothes washers
Dishwashers
Dehumidifiers
Energy Star Labeled Programmable thermostats
Air conditioners priced at $6,000 or less

The 2011 sales tax holiday begins on Saturday, May 28, and ends
on Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day Weekend).

Qualifying products will need to display the ENERGY STAR logo. The discount can also apply to delivery and installation fees and there is no limit on the number of qualifying items one can purchase during this sales tax holiday.

To find out more, go to the Texas comptroller’s site, here.

P.S. Be sure to check out this extra savings tip: Pop over to Amazon’s Energy Star Appliance Rebate finder page (go here & look for the Energy Star Logo link in the left column). They have an easy to search database of Energy Star rebates on qualified products, as well as recycling incentives for the proper disposal of old products.

Easy Mother’s Day Breakfast Ideas & Recipes: Let the Kids Cook

Posted on May 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

We have rounded up some easy breakfast recipes to help get Dad & your little ones on the right track for Mother’s Day. These recipes come from a few of our favorite home cooking & foodie sites, so even if the little one’s aren’t cooking breakfast for you, these are great sites/recipes to bookmark for use in the future.

Wholesome Mommy has some great advice for helping your kids take care of breakfast. She says, “Decide on a simple dish/recipe that your kids can make all by themselves. Leave easy to follow directions on the counter along with the dishes, tray, and any ingredients that the kids can’t safely reach themselves. If you can, get your husband involved and tell him your plan so that he can help the kids get the things they need in the morning – but remind him to let them do it all by themselves!” Her Mother’s Day breakfast recipes include Layered Granola Parfait, Cinnamon & Sugar Toast, Cinnamon Oranges, and some scrumptous looking Waffles with Pecan Maple Syrup

Mommy’s Kitchen Blog features some super easy recipes and easy to follow picture instructions for Yogurt & Granola Breakfast Parfaits, Bacon & Cheese Muffins, Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents, Easy Monkey Bread, Overnight French Toast, Fruit Smoothies, and more.

Food Network has compiled a few recipes that they say are so easy, Mom won’t even need to help. Their suggested simple menu for mom includes: Giada’s custardy Baked French toast with Blueberries, a Citrus Cream Smoothie, and The Lady’s Perfect Scrambled Eggs.

And for the somewhat experienced cook: AllRecipes.com has a “Mother’s Day Top 20” list of recipes that includes top-rated breakfast items like Simple Scones, Whole Grain Waffles, Crepes and a Cinnabon recipe clone (I must check this one out for myself!). Do note that most of these recipes are probably too advanced for little ones, though.

Happy Mother’s Day, dear Moms. I hope this is a restful, joyful weekend for you! Enjoy and Share! :)

Hot! Great Sale at Amazon on Top-rated Kitchenware & Cook’s Gadgets (Up to 75% OFF)!

Posted on March 30, 2011 | Leave a comment

Just in time for Spring and Easter entertaining (or even upcoming wedding gifts), Amazon has a GREAT sale going right now on cookware and gadgets for the kitchen from some great manufacturers like Calphalon, Cuisinart, Pyrex, Rubbermaid, and more. Go here to search the sale by category.

A couple of my favorite finds are the Silpat Baking Mats ($15.88) that make any baking sheet nonstick and the set of 2 Contemporary Calphalon Omelette pans (10″ and 12″) ~ you get both pans for $49.99!!! I highly recommend these pans, as these are my “go-to” pans for just about everything that requires a skillet (really easy clean-up, too). I saw similar Calphalon pans selling at Williams-Sonoma for $275 when purchased à la carte!

————————

Here is a sample of a few other great sale finds I stumbled upon:

Silpat Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat
Sale Price is $15.88 (Regularly $24.99)
Silpat baking sheets replace parchment paper and make any baking sheet nonstick (so no greasing is necessary).

Replaces store-bought non-stick sprays like Pam! Fill this high quality sprayer with your best olive oil for cooking, grilling, sautéing, roasting and more.

10 piece storage set is made of nonporous glass that won’t warp, stain, or absorb odors with seal-tight lids ideal for secure food storage. Safe for use in oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher.

Cuisinart Immersion Brushed Chrome Hand Blender
Sale Price is $28.99 (Regularly $55)
This handheld blender quickly purees soups, blends batters, mixes beverages, and more ~ right in pots, pitchers, bowls, or the clear plastic beaker that’s included.

Sale Price is $83.33 (Regularly $185)
5-in-1 countertop unit works as a contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, and half grill/half griddle.

TODAY ONLY ~ HOT Groupon for 50% OFF Nothing Bundt Cakes (Valid Until May 22nd)!

Posted on February 21, 2011 | 2 comments

Frugal sidebar: A friend of mine recently brought a lemon cake from “Nothing Bundt Cakes” to a party, and *mmmmmm* it was pure bliss! If you need a cake for an upcoming occasion, today’s Fort Worth Groupon is a great deal and from a bakery I highly recommend. Read more about them, here.

Incredible Deal at Groupon today!

Groupon has launched a great offer for 50% OFF at Nothing Bundt Cakes. When you buy today’s Groupon, you will get a $20 gift certificate valid for any Nothing Bundt Cakes Purchase at either the Fort Worth or Southlake locations.

There is a limited quantity of these gift certificates available, so you might not want to wait if you plan to take advantage of this. <I just bought mine! :) >

Note that you do need to buy the gift certificate TODAY (the offer expires
at midnight EST), however you can use the certificate anytime, through May 22, 2011.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s Nothing Bundt Cake Groupon deal.
Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City.
Choose the preferred location for the Nothing Bundt Cakes Groupon Offer (Southlake or Fort Worth).

The fine print (only made larger): Limit 1 per person. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for location purchased. In-store only. Must use in 1 visit. Not valid with other offers. See the rules that apply to all Groupon deals.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. Fort Worth is the 51st city launch for Groupon, and
in the last month, I’ve seen their offers include everything from
50% Off Cowboys Stadium Tours to 60% Off Spa Services to 55% Off
carpet cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between!

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer!

Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.

Enjoy and Share! :)
