Congratulations, Andre. You should have received an email from me, and you have 48 hours to reply!
The new year is well underway, and I’m betting some of those resolutions we all made on January 1st are falling to the wayside.
Hopefully none of those fallen resolutions are FRUGAL ones, but if they were, I have something to get you back on track!
Philips Norelco is wanting to help you go frugal this year with a new “cut-your-hair-at-home” campaign, and they are providing one of my readers with their very own Philips Norelco 180 Hair Clipper/Trimmer!
I truly LOVE this clipper! It is very easy to use and light-weight. My husband loves it, too, as long as I use the right head 😀
To date, I have trimmed my hubby’s hair, my daddy’s hair, Alyssa‘s hubby’s hair (see photo… yes, that is a trash bag he is wearing), and Alyssa’s stepson’s hair. My house is turning into a regular beauty parlor barber shop! Ha!
All of my “customers” have loved the way the trimmer feels, and were very satisfied with their haircuts. Maybe I have a calling as a hair dresser…
Specs:
:: Easy D-I-Y cutting: Special combs closely follow every contour of your head and turn 180 degrees for the spots you can’t see
:: 10 Lock-in length settings: Adjustable clipper combs provide 10 lockable length settings for a wide range of styles up to 7/8 inch (22 mm) in length.
:: Easy grip for total control: Specifically designed for self-haircutting.
:: Charging time: 8 hours for up to 60 minutes of cordless use.
:: Corded or cordless operation: Operates with or without a cord.
:: Easy hair cutting: Revolutionary self-sharpening stainless steel blades cut hair precisely and evenly.
:: Precision Trimmer: For easy contouring, finishing, and touch-ups.
:: Extra strong motor: For superior cutting results.
:: Maintenance Free: Self-sharpening stainless steel blades need no oiling.

I have been cutting my boys’ hair for awhile now. Not only do they stay still for me, but it saves me money!!!!

My favourite frugal tip: meal planning. Instead of impulse-buying I make sure I know what I need. But on another note, I like cutting my husband’s hair too, and it’s a good frugal thing for us!

I also retweeted your giveaway!
Amber says

My favorite frugal tip is to make your own baby wipes with paper towels, baby oil, baby bath, and water. With 3 kids in diapers at once, it saved me a lot of money. And they make nicer wipes, and are also good for cleaning up messes, and for washing your face.
We have 4 boys ages 2.5 to 6 and I cut all of their hair and my husbands as well. Our clippers just broke, so these would be a great win!

And my favorite frugal tip? I’m not sure. I guess at this phase in our lives cloth diapering is my best savings.

I have many money saving tips that I practice daily. We re-use things, I budget for groceries, I make powdered milk when we run out of the “real” thing, I hang my clothes outside to dry (except, not THIS winter), I yard sale and consignment shop, I coupon, we set our thermostat to conserve energy and money, and lots more. And I really enjoy all of it!
Would love to win! 5langfordatcomcastdotnet

My favorite frugal tip is to use a shopping list and stick to it. It really does help.
this is a great giveaway. My husband has a pair of shears and cuts our sons hair. Most of the time it doesn’t lay right. These clippers sound like they would do a much better job.

Favorite frugal tip- make a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly menu for your family and shop ONLY off the menu. This is hard, especially with little ones, and my individual sweet tooth, but oh so effective!
Vicki Wurgler says

Favorite frugal tip? Stock up when stuff is on sale and shop CVS weekly. I always get the items for overage even if just to donate so I can ‘make money’ for other items I need. Recycle ECBs often, and save them up for BIG items!

Favorite frugal tip: Making my own laundry detergent (it also makes my clothes look and smell so clean!)
