As you may recall, I often work with MyBlogSpark on fun giveaways, both here and on Contest Corner. Recently, they contacted me about a sale that Fiber One yogurt is having at Safeway, and asked if I would like to receive a $50 Safeway gift card to check it out with. They also offered to give another $50 gift card away to one of you – so how could I turn that down?!
Through tomorrow, January 9th, you can purchase two 4-packs of Fiber One yogurt at Safeway for $4.00. You may remember that I hosted a special Fiber One yogurt giveaway back in October – you can click here to read what I thought about the yogurt and also download a printable coupon for $1.00 off, which you can use in conjunction with the sale to further lower your cost. MyBlogSpark also sent me a coupon for a free package of Fiber One yogurt to use the next time I go to Safeway, so I’ll show you what kind of deals I get with my gift card then.
One lucky reader will win a $50 Safeway gift card! This gift card can also be used at Dominick´s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi´s. Here’s how to enter:
1. For your first entry, just leave a comment on this post and share your favorite tips for living a healthy and frugal lifestyle.
Want extra entries? Do any of the following, and leave a separate comment for each one:
2. Link to this post on your blog, then come back here and leave me the link!
3. Write about this on Twitter, then come back and leave me the link to your tweet! Due to an oversight on my part when posting the rules, I will accept one daily Twitter entry per person.
4. Post my button on your website – just copy and paste the following code, and let me know where you put it:
Rules, regulations, and other important stuff: Giveaway ends on February 23rd at 11:59 PM, PST. Winner will be chosen via Random.org. Giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents. I received a $50 Safeway gift card and a free yogurt coupon from Fiber One and Safeway through MyBlogSpark for my participation.
Buying in bulk isn't always the cheapest way. Pay attention to price per ounce, pound, etc. Sometimes the small packages are cheaper overall.
Thank you!

I use to just buy a lot of food and I was amazed at how much got thrown out. Now I make smaller shopping trips, cook more from scratch and have really cut down on waste. we eat more fresh fruits and vegatables. I have also cut my grocery bill in almost half

My tip is to use a Brita or PUR water filter rather than buying bottled water. Saves money and water is better for you than juice or soda.

I do this by making my own cleening supplies! Momma taught me young…and by the way, vinegar works wonders! 😉

Use coupons and incorporate lots of fresh fruits and veggies in your meals. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
Healthy tip: Whenever you eat yogurt, soup, salad, stew (or whatever) just add a teaspoon of wheat germ and oat bran. It blends in easily and it is hardly noticeable.

The eating right safeway brand is healthy and usually on sale. I choose that over other name brands. It's good too!
I try to eat more fruits and vegetables. I use coupons and buy store brands to save money
We grow most of own veggies- enough for all the neighbors too!
With that said, I plan our meals around them- instead of around meat!

Always check for coupons on the items on your list before going grocery shopping. Thanks for the great contest!
I purchase organic produce from local sources to be delivered to my home weekly. This allows me to not make as many trips to store and also to desire to use the stuff I already have in my home.
I add water to my kids juice so they aren't getting as much sugar and I'm not buying as much juice.
i put plain yogurt in my salad, no Ranch.

A great tip for healthy and frugal living is to start a vegetable garden.

I try to grow as much of my own food as possible to save on cost and to know what goes into or on it.
I like to make as much as I can from scratch- it's way healthier and can often be less expensive as well!

My healthy and frugal tip is to stay away from processed foods. They aren't particularly healthy and they are expensive! By cooking from scratch I have saved a fair amount of money, and lost weight!

I try to hike as much as possible. My family loves to explore the great outdoors and this is a great way to get exercise and have an adventure. I also buy in quantity and use lots of coupons to keep the spending down to a minimum.

Blanch and freeze veggies so that you always have some on hand.

I stay out of stores, drink lots of water and swim 3 times a week. Thanks for the contest.
Thanks for the giveaway…we tend to stick to a mostly vegetable/fruit & whole grain diet, with meats, fish, other animal protein, etc. as essentially "side dishes".
Everything in moderation & no tobacco !!!

My favorite healthy tip is to not avoid stairs. Stairs are your friends. They help get you in shape.
I balance my purchases of free/cheap packaged snacks with healthy produce, free range meats and eggs, and other wholesome foods for my family. I think it's important to have a balance of free/cheap and wholesome/healthy in any lifestlye, even frugal lifestyles!
