FatHeadDog.com Deals

I’m a sucker. The minute those Huggies Little Mover Denim Diapers came out, I made a beeline for CVS. Yes I paid full price. Yes I made my son wear them. And yes, I love my little boy in them.
Now Pampers has followed suit with their own designer diapers from Cynthia Rowley. They’re available exclusively and for a limited time at Target and Target.com.

While we’re talking about Huggies and Pampers, here’s a tip I ran across on deals4dummies.com: PullUps package codes can be used twice–Once on www.Enjoytheriderwewards.com and also again on game.dothepottydance.com. Now who’s got their daisy dukes on? My kid, that’s who.

Here’s a chance to eat healthy, win free groceries and help the nationwide initiative Pound for Pound Challenge. MyBlogSpark, the General Mills blogging program, invited FatHeadDog.com to participate in the Pound for Pound Challenge. Cool premise: For every pound participants pledged to lose through the Pound For Pound Challenge, the sponsors donated 14 cents to Feeding America- enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a food bank in your area.  While they are no longer accepting pledges, you can still help by making a donation directly to Feeding America. I encourage you to check out the site; there’s lot of great information to inspire your healthier eating today.

Kroger wants to help one of my readers save a bit of money while stocking up on healthy food items.  Time for a giveaway! (more…)

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

The FatHeadFamily was out running errands when we stumbled across a Babies R Us that I hadn’t visited before. Why would I propose to know every Babies R Us location in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex? Because when you have a cranky newborn that wants to get out of the house, that’s what you do–you wander the aisles of every Babies R Us from here to Oklahoma.

When SocialSpark asked me to blog about the new Babies R Us-brand formula and newly expanded infant care line, I was happy to since I wish they’d introduced their generic formula when my Pup was still taking formula. As I’ve written about before, there’s a strategy to buying baby formula for cheap. When your brand-name formula checks run out, generic formulas are a great value. Target and Wal-Mart are great options, but don’t offer any rewards or cashback for your purchase. At Babies R Us, you can accumulate Rewards R Us points with each purchase, which makes purchasing costly formula a little less painful. You’ll receive a $5 reward for every $150 you spend total during certain two or three month promotion periods–which I’ll admit sounds pretty paltry, but to sound entirely cliche, every little bit helps.

No one ever told me that when you become a mom, taking a bath is a luxury. I’m not stinky–don’t get me wrong. I do bathe. Just not as luxuriously as I used to. When my FatHeadPup was a newborn, I longed for the minute my husband came home, so I could pass off the Pup and run for the shower. I know you, too, have felt that longing for lather.

You know, that’s FatHeadDog on the right. Not really, but Snapfish has teamed up with LIFE.com to offer the iconic magazine’s historic photos as printed cards, which make great personalized stationary for thank you cards and the like.  These selected number of photographs from LIFE.com’s archives can help capture the exact emotion you’re looking for in your greeting cards, notecards and notebooks. It plans to introduce more offerings in the coming months, according to a Snapfish press release.

For as much as I love cars, I’m shamefully bad about getting my oil changed on a regular basis. About 2,000 miles past due for my oil change, I recently glanced at that auto shop reminder sticker with guilt–I know I need to do it. I know it can’t be good for the car. But I procrastinate, figuring I’ll get to it soon.

Like a beacon in my mail box, the nice folks at MyBlogSpark invited me to visit www.motoroilmatters.com, sponsored by Shell Lubricants, and learn more about why frequent oil changes are so important. In return, Penzoil through MyBlogSpark offered FatHeadDog a gift certificate to have my oil changed and report on the experience.

Ok!  Gods of car care.. I’ll learn more about the importance of good oil and take my car in for heaven’s sake. I take the hint! Like they asked, I visited Motor Oil Matters, where I learned what the various oil weights, like 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40, mean. And what does the ‘W’ mean? According to the site, not weight, but winter. (Really!?)  See, I did learn something.. how’s that for fun cocktail party trivia?

E-Rewards Market Research is a great paid survey site–if you sign up through a good referral or sponsor link. Sponsors include Macy’s, Priority Club, Blockbuster, Borders and UPromise. You can seek these referral links through these sponsors.

Pros: The frequency of surveys is great, which means you’ll have lots of opportunities to earn rewards.

• Every survey is worth points, even if you disqualify. And the points–in this case, dollars, are generous amounts.
• Redeeming rewards is fast and easy. Whenever I redeem $40 E-Rewards dollars for a $25 Macy’s gift certificate, the transaction is fast and accurate.
• Good site for those who have frequent flyer or frequent hotel stay memberships. These rewards include Priority Club points, NorthWest Airlines miles, Airtran, Continental Airlines, Delta, Hilton Honors and Frontier Early Returns. 

Cons: E-Rewards places restrictions on how often you may redeem certain rewards within 90 days.

• I’ve read some complaints that the survey questions lately have become very personal–asking about health conditions and how much you have invested in various mutual funds, retirement and CDs.
• Your reward dollars can expire after one year but E-Rewards has introduced a new VIP (not sure the name) status that exempts members from their dollars expiring.
