Summer Reading Programs For Kids = FREE Books

Posted on May 13, 2010 | 6 comments

                       

As the end of school approaches, you may be wondering how you can fill
the summer days with fun activities for the kids.  One idea ~ incorporate a
regular reading program. Not only do you help your children learn to enjoy
reading, they can earn FREE books, too!     

Following are 3 summer programs that will reward your kids with
FREE books for their reading efforts:    

:: Borders Double Dog Dare Summer Reading Program
What: Take part in Border’s reading program and get 1 FREE Book from
    Border’s Bookstores!  Go here for more details.
How: To get the free book, read any 10 books this summer (these can
    even be from the library). Print and fill out this form, and then bring the
    completed form into any Borders, Borders Express, or Waldenbooks.
Who:  Border’s Summer reading program is for kids aged 12 and under.
When:  Now through August 26, 2010, or until supplies run out.    

:: Barnes & Noble Passport to Summer Reading
What: Earn a FREE Book from Barnes & Noble this summer! 
    Learn more here.
How: To get the free book, read any 8 books this summer (again, they
    can be from anywhere). Print and fill out the B&N passport, and then
    bring the completed form into any Barnes & Noble Bookstore.
Who:  B&N’s summer reading program is for kids through 6th grade.
When:  May 25 through September 7, 2010, or until supplies run out.    

:: Half Price Books Feed Your Brain Reading Program
What: Earn a FREE $3 Gift Card from Half Price Books every week, for up
     to 5 weeks (or $15 FREE)!  Go here for more details.
How: To get the free gift cards, read at least 15 minutes for 5 days of
    each week (any reading materials qualify). Print and fill out the reading
    log, and then bring the completed log to any Half Price Books Store, at
    the end of each week.
Who:  For kids aged 14 and under.
When:  June 1 through July 31, 2010.   

                     

:: Tips for Making the Most of  Your Summer Reading   

1. Spend time with your child helping them select books to read. 
A great place to start is Amazon’s list of best-selling children’s books
(most books on Amazon are deeply discounted or you can use this as a
starting point for your library check-out list).   

2.  Encourage your child’s love for books with fresh ideas for
motivating them to read. Find hundreds of creative tips to make reading
exciting for your child, at rif.org.     

What are you doing this summer that is fun and frugal with your
family? We’d LOVE to know!  Please post in the comments section!

FRUGAL BLISS: Get The South Beach Diet Supercharged Book for FREE!

Posted on May 5, 2010 | 7 comments

                          

A Book for Everyone!
Whether you have some pounds to lose or are just looking for some new tips and
yummy recipes for living a healthy lifestyle, everyone can benefit from the
South Beach Diet Supercharged book.  Written by cardiologist, Arthur
Agatston, the diet was birthed out of years of research with heart patients and
a goal of decreasing the risks of heart disease (the No. 1 killer of women!).    

I’m adding this book to my personal library. Now.
Having a history of heart disease on both sides of our family, I recently checked
this book out from our local library. After using the recipes and meal plans for a
few weeks I’ve decided to make the South Beach Diet Supercharged book part
of our permanent book collection. Not only are the recipes delicious, it feels 
really great knowing that I’m feeding my family food that we enjoy and
also benefits our health!     

I could go on (read the reviews on Amazon if you want to learn what
others think), but suffice it to say that I love, love, LOVE, what I’m learning from
this book and the positive transformation to our family’s eating habits (not
to mention our waist lines)!    

Savings Bliss = Getting the South Beach Diet book FREE!
When I decided to get this book, I was so happy to discover that it is being
offered for FREE (with shipping) from the South Beach Diet website.     

Getting the book FREE is pretty simple:    

  1. Go to the SouthBeachDiet.com site to sign up for your FREE book.
  2. Pay $4.95 for shipping and handling.  You’ll also receive free
    membership access to the South Beach Diet Online Web site for 14 days.
  3. Frugal friends, be sure to note:  You might want to cancel the free
    trial membership so you don’t get charged membership fees after
    2 weeks. You can cancel any time within those first two weeks to
    avoid the fees.  See website for details.

P.S. Most of the recipes are great for anyone who needs to cook for special
diabetic or gluten-free / celiac diets as they emphasize low-sugar, wheat-free,
and trans-fat free ingredients.   

Have you tried the South Beach Diet?  We would love to hear your
stories, tips, and recipes!  Please share with us in the comments section.  

    

Enjoy and Share! :)
