Win-It Wednesday: Financial Tools from Jean Chatzky (2 Winners!)

January 27, 2010 by Tara Kuczykowski 529 Comments

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!

Jean Chatzky Pay It Down

Back in November I had the pleasure of participating in an audiocast with the Today Show financial expert, Jean Chatzky, author of Pay It Down! Debt Free on $10 a Day. Not only did she share some really great tips on spending and saving for the holidays, but she gave us the inside scoop on her new line of financial planning products from Franklin Covey that are now available in Target stores across the nation.

  • The Monthly Budget Kit will allow you to track and manage all your spending for the entire year. There’s a tracking sheet and pocket for each month so you’ll always have a record of your expenses, bills, and receipts.
  • The Get-Out-Of-Debt Kit comes with helpful debt reduction tips from Jean Chatzky, and tracking sheets and pockets for six separate items, so you can track all your debt in one simple 3-ring binder.
  • The Savings Kit includes great savings tips from Jean Chatzky, clear sleeves to hold the images of what you’re saving for, and tracking sheets and pockets for six separate items, so you can track all your goals in one simple 3-ring binder.
  • Plus the To Buy List makes determining the difference between needs and wants and reasons for each manageable. There’s even a section to keep track of coupon savings!

But I think what I like best about these products is that they’re really geared towards women with their needs and thought processes in mind. They’re attractive, yet not overly feminine, and can be easily customized to fit your overall financial strategy.

Two lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a set of Jean Chatzky financial planning tools:

  • Pay It Down! by Jean Chatzky
  • Needs & Wants To Buy List
  • Monthly Budget Kit
  • Get-Out-Of-Debt Kit
  • Savings Kit

Win-It Wednesday: TurboTax 2009 (2 Winners!)

January 27, 2010 by Tara Kuczykowski

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!

TurboTax Premier Online

TurboTax is the #1-rated, best-selling tax software from Intuit Inc. In fact, last year more federal returns were e-filed with TurboTax than with all other consumer tax software combined. TurboTax walks users through their taxes step-by-step, with guidance designed to help users find every deduction and credit they deserve so that they get the maximum possible refund.

TurboTax 2009 makes tax preparation easier than ever with:

  • Built-in guidance for more than 350 possible deductions and credits, including the 2009 Economic Stimulus
  • Real-time error check immediately flags errors and missed information. Customers can fix mistakes as they go or come back later when they have their information in hand.
  • A system for double checking deductions and credits. An estimated 5.6 million eligible taxpayers failed to claim the Earned Income Credit last year, potentially missing out on as much as $4,600.
  • Instant answers from other TurboTax users and tax experts online via the TurboTax Live Community.
  • The TurboTax Audit Risk Meter, which helps customers avoid common errors and reduce their risk of an audit before they file.
  • Instant importing of investment and wage information. TurboTax customers can easily, accurately and securely import 1099 investment and W-2 wage information from more than 140 financial institutions and payroll providers directly into their tax return.

2 lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a copy of TurboTax Premier Online (ARV $49.99)! To enter, tell me how you usually file your taxes. Do you do them yourself or use a provider? Do you efile or file a traditional paper return?

All You Eat Well, Save Big is filled with over 140 meals under $2.50 per serving, this is a fantastic resource for those of us trying to live within a budget. These recipes don’t skimp on meat, and are full of flavor.

I love the fact that the recipes have a reasonable number of ingredients. My eyes just glaze over when I see those ingredients lists that are ten miles long. And I also enjoyed the Smart Tips that are shared throughout the book, giving advice on choosing the perfect pot, quick and easy side dishes, how to pick the perfect produce, and much more.

Of course, what publication from All You would be complete without coupons? The following coupons are included in the back:

  • $1/2 Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauce or EZ Marinader, exp. 12-31-10

Win-It Wednesday: FREE Popsicle Brand Product (25 Winners!)

January 20, 2010 by Tara Kuczykowski

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!

Popsicle Fudgsicle Low-Fat Triple Chocolate Dessert

Popsicle recently surveyed moms on their snacking and dessert habits, and their results show that nearly 80% of moms admit to breaking into their children’s arsenal of snacks and desserts. I’ll admit I’m guilty of this as well.

So when Popsicle offered to send my family some of their new low-fat treats to sample, we were more than willing to test them out. We received the Low Fat Fudgesicle Triple Chocolate bars and Sugar Free Popsicle Tropicals ice pops, as well as the new Klondike 100 Calorie Vanilla & Chocolate sandwiches.

I was a little worried that the kids would notice a difference with the lower fat version, but they didn’t notice at all. Of course then I had to give them a taste for myself, and I’ll admit, I found them just as satisfying as the regular versions. The Klondike bars did seem less creamy, more like ice milk than ice cream, but it wasn’t a turnoff, and the tradeoff of calories and fat seems worthwhile.

Overall, I think these would be a great solution to the dilemma in finding find desserts and snacks the kids enjoy and that are not bad for them, that moms and dads will enjoy as well!

Popsicle wants to give 25 Deal Seeking Mom readers the opportunity to try out their low-fat products as well! To enter to win 1 of 25 FREE Popsicle Brand product coupons (up to $4), tell me your favorite low-fat or healthy dessert!

+++++++++++++++

1. Leave a comment. How often do you deserve dessert? What is your favorite low-fat or healthy dessert?

2. Add Deal Seeking Mom to your blogroll or add my badge to your sidebar. Make sure to come back and leave the link to your site in a separate comment!

3. Join the new Deal Seeking Mom Forums to chat about your great finds, special coupon codes, and chances to win exclusive giveaways. Come back and leave a separate comment letting me know you’ve joined or that you’re already a registered user!
