Amazon has the LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Alphabet Set – Styles May Vary reduced to $10 from $21.99. Get FREE S&H with Prime or when you spend $25 without Prime.

My family actually does not have a magnetic refrigerator, so my husband hung a dry erase magnetic board in our daughters room for her to play with hers. A friend uses a cookie sheet and her kids love it.

LeapFrog has other alphabet systems on sale. Get the LeapFrog Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set for $12, LeapFrog Fridge Wash & Go Magnetic Vehicle Set for $13.89, or the Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder for $19.99.

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations, Jamie!


The Big Toy Book  is a web site with all kinds of toys, apparel, etc. BUT it also has a members-only shopping community where you can get discounts of up to 70% off toys, games and more for kids!  Make sure to register for the members-only section to get these huge savings!  Then, when you go back to the site, make sure you scroll down to the bottom to log in and access the members-only private sale community.  Make sure to visit their Blog also for all kinds of tips and ideas.

Perfect for holiday and gift shopping, their limited-time sales feature huge savings on best-loved and up-and-coming toys and brands for kids! I have seen Disney, KidKraft, Seasame Street, and more!  So far this week, they’ve had Hello Kitty, Cars, Littlest Pet Shop and more!  Featured more toward the younger crowd with some items toward an older generation, the sales are irresistible!  They have various categories like Apparel/Gear, Toys & Games, Electronics, By Age, etc. to make it easier to find what you want.

They also offer $10 to your account for each friend you refer who becomes a member and buys!  How great is that!  AND if you like them on Facebook, make sure to visit each Friday for a ‘password’ that could get you freebies and exclusive savings just for that day.

One item that The Big Toy Book let me try out was their product geared toward that older group of kids – a helicopter. My husband is like a big kid when it comes to toys and the Interceptor R/C Indoor/Outdoor Flight Helicopter by Interactive Toy Concepts is no exception!  This remote control helicopter says it’s age-appropriate for 12 years + and I would have to agree because it is a little difficult to drive.  While it is an indoor/outdoor device, I would recommend using it outdoors as learning out to drive it is a bit difficult in the beginning. With two thumbs requiring the work, you don’t want to test drive it near your precious lamp. Note: You can get this on The Big Toy Book right now.

We liked that it charges via a USB cable directly into a USB port instead of using batteries, so you can plug it into your computer to charge!  A remote control helicopter like this would burn through batteries!  It takes about 60 minutes to charge for the first time.  There are two flying modes: Normal and Pro.  We used normal (because we don’t consider ourselves pros!) and it flew very smooth and easy, besides the driving difficulties I mentioned above.

All in all, this helicopter is tons of fun no matter your age!

Right now you can get your 70% discounted items with a nice little coupon code. Head to Big Toy Book and sign up now. Now you can get $10/$50 with promo code HolidayBash. Note this code is $10/$50 before tax and can only be used on the private sale store.

Frugal Coupon Living is giving a Helicopter and a $50 Gift Card to TheBigToyBook.com to one reader!

Head over to Diapers.com for this great deal for the kids. My girls have this car (handed down from a friend) and they LOVE IT! SO much so that we had to bring it on the house for a time and when it was in the house. When it was in the house I had to frequently hide it they fought over it so much!

Diapers.com has the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe priced at $44.99. Use promo code DIAPERSV and get 15% off if you are a first time customer. Your price is then $35.99.

Diapers.com’s sister site – Soap.com offers FREE S&H when you spend $25, so move over there (see top of the page to interchange between sites) and pick up something you need – ziploc bags, chapstick, coughdrops, hand soap, etc – maybe even something as a stocking stuffer for the kids.

Thanks, My Frugal Adventures

Closed. Holiday Giveaway – Denon Headphones #wingiveaways

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to Emily and Steve!

Do you have the earphone elf? The little man who roams secretly around the house misplacing earphones? While I do not truly believe we have an elf in our house, I must agree that earphones are constantly lost in our home…If not lost, then broken… If not broken and lost, then often very poor in quality.  Ear phones would also be the perfect gift for my husband who often finds himself listening to his iPhone in the car, over the radio.

If you are looking for the perfect product for someone who has everything, perhaps good quality earphones might be an excellent idea. With Denon’s single achievement goal being “to enhance the entertainment experience” they might make the perfect checkmark off your holiday shopping list.  While the technology behind these earphones is beyond my scientific understanding, blending physics, electronics, mechanical engineering, art and nature allow Denon to give buyers the perfect entertainment experience.

Two products made it to my door step for review. I noticed both products offered crystal clear sound and helped to eliminated outside noises. The styles were different, however, and would come down to a buyers preference – one being ear buds, another being headphones. Both were light weight and provided comfort.

The AH-D510R, from Denon’s Mobile Eliete series, had three buttons or externally controlling your iPod/iPhone. Also included on this model was a microphone for taking calls, and creating voice memos (if included on your particular gadget.)  The buttons also let you control volume, stopping, and playing features.  The head band and ear pads provided comfort for the pleasurable listening experience.  For more on the AH-D510R, click HERE.

The AH-C560R, also from Denon’s Mobile Eliete series, also includes the three buttons mentioned above. Play, Stop, Record, turn the volume up and more all remotely from actually touching your iPhone/iPod. Just like the revious model, the earphones have been designed to provide a pure sound quality. Features include oxygen free copper wiring, an acoustic optimizer system, and more. Different from the last, the AH-560R feature ear buds with four set of ear pads creating the perfect fit. The ear phones also come with a carrying case, keeping the pads from falling off and the piece from becoming lost or broken. For more on the AH-C560R, click HERE.

Denon is giving a set of Denon head phones to two Frugal Coupon Living readers.  One individual will win a Denon AH-560R  and the other the AH-D510R headphones.

Perhaps you can experience the earphone elf in a whole different way. With Denon earphones under your tree instead of lost in your home!  To purchase online, vist the Denon Head Shop.

For other chances to win, head to Denon’s Facebook page. Denon is celebrating their 100th Anniversary and rolling out an anniversary lineup of products AND giving away 1 set of headphones each day. Find the tab on FB for more information.

Note: Denon products can be found on Amazon, Best Buy, and Buy.com.
