We have a winner! Comment number six by Brandilynn was the winner of the Bagnesia reminder kit.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway. Stay tuned for another giveaway starting very, very soon!

--- Continue Reading This Post ---

How often do you forget your reuseable bags in the car when you go to the store? We have talked about this topic before. It is frustrating and not the easiest thing to remember in our busy fast paced lives.

I was lucky enough to get the chance to try out the Bagnesia Reusable Bag Reminder Kit. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about it's effectiveness going into the "trial". Would I really notice the reminders or would they get tuned out after a couple days? Three weeks later I can tell you that they really did work! I still notice the door tag and the steering wheel wrap. If you or your loved one has problems remembering your bags this product might just be your cure for Bagnesia!


The Bagnesia Reminder Kit contains simple, effective products that work together so
you always remember to take your reusable bags into the store. The kit includes an eye-
catching door hanger imprinted with the words “grab your bags” reminding you to put your bags in the car. They have developed a neoprene wrap that attaches to your steering wheel at eye level labeled with the words “grab your bags”
prompting you to take your bags with you as you exit your car. Bagnesia’s stylish compact bag unrolls from the size of a cell phone and expands to hold the equivalent of 3 plastic bags
worth of groceries. It is both durable and washable. A convenient clip included in the kit
allows the user to slip the bag onto a key chain or belt loop or clip several bags together. All of
the products included in the kit are packaged inside a reusable drawstring pouch that can
double as a handy place to corral several compact bags, keys, coupons or a cell phone.

What a deal for only $14.99! And they offer international shipping too. This makes a great gift for your earth friendly friends.

Would you like to win a free reminder kit? If so then check out the rules below.

Julie with My Lil' Budget Book graciously sent me a Lil' Budget Book and agreed to a give away as well. I was very impressed when I received my Lil' Budget Book. It arrived in a nicely padded envelope along with a business sized card with simple steps for a cash envelope system. It made me feel like I was unwrapping a present.

The Lil' budget book is her most popular size, measuring 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches It is just big enough to not have to fold the cash but not to big and bulky either. It is cute and could be used as a clutch on its own if you are just making a quick run into a store or a garage sale. It also fits nicely into a purse or the diaper bag. This is definitely easier then a stack of loose envelopes. Priced at $11.95 it will not break the bank either! It could also be used to organize your coupons, receipts, or bills (larger version).

The Rules:
There are several ways to enter to win the giveaway. Make sure to leave a separate comment for each entry. You can enter 6 ways, but use each method once per giveaway.

1. Simply tell me which of the lil' budget books you would want if you when (required).
2. Tweet about the contest and leave a link to your status.
3. Add us to your blogroll and let us know in the comments.
4. Blog about the giveaway with a link back to the giveaway post in the comments.

On Friday our most recent giveaway ended for "The Better World Shopping Guide". The randomly selected winner was comment #2, Gina from Money Wise Moms.

Thanks to everyone who entered! If you did not win I would still highly recommend spending the 10 bucks to buy yourself this wonderful book.

Stay tuned to find out what the next giveaway will be.

Our first giveaway was so much fun that we decided to do it again! This time we are giving away a book that I love. I loved it so much that I bought 20 copies to give away for Christmas gifts last year. The book is called The better World Shopping Guide #2- Every dollar makes a difference by Ellis Jones. The reason I like this book so much is that it is an easy way to introduce a person into making every decision a green decision.

Here is what the Author had to say on his website.

The only comprehensive guide for socially and environmentally responsible consumers available, this book ranks every product on the shelf from A to F so you can quickly tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” — turning your grocery list into a powerful tool to change the world. Representing over 15 years of distilled research, data is organized into the most common product categories including coffee, energy bars, computers, gasoline, clothing, banks, cars, water and more.

Also included is a summary of the essential information about particular product categories, profiles of the best and worst companies, practical buying tips and the most useful online resources available. Whether you believe in environmental sustainability, human rights, animal protection, community involvement or social justice, you'll want this book.

Small enough [4"x6"] to fit in a back pocket or small purse and organized in a shopping-friendly format, The Better World Shopping Guide will help you change the world as you shop! For just 10 bucks, how can you NOT get one?

How could you not? If you don't win the copy we are giving away I highly suggest you spring the 10 bucks and buy yourself a copy. It is worth every penny in my opinion. There is also a wealth of free information on his website as well.

Update: The giveaway has ended. The winner will be announced on Monday.

Welcome to our first blog giveaway! Here at the Not the Jet Set house we have been kicking around the idea of allowing giveaways. The decision was made that as long as we feel like it fits our theme (frugal, green, and family friendly) we would do a giveaway twice a month or less. We don't want the content or quality of our blog posts to be effected by the giveaways. If for some reason our blog is "changed" too much by doing giveaways we will discontinue them. BUT, until that point, Good luck to all!

A great way to save money is to stop the Starbucks or 7Eleven stop you make every morning. The best way to get fresh tasting coffee for a good price is to make it yourself. To help with the transition we are giving away a KitchenAid Blade Coffee Grinder (BCG100OB) in Onyx Black. This will allow you to easily grind your own fair trade coffee beans.


The Details:
Kitchen Aid Blade Coffee Grinder

Features:

• Powerful Blade Action
• 4 Ounce Capacity
• Brushed Stainless Steel Bowl
• Etched Internal Capacity Markings
• Clear Top Pulse Cover
• Dual Interlock System
• Pulse Control
• Heavy Duty Motor
• Round Power Cord
• Easy to Clean

Dimensions:
Height 8.5" Width 4.4"
Depth 4.4" Weight 2.6 lbs
