Recently, I heard about a company called Zaycon Foods. They hold "events" in areas all over the U.S. where you can buy meats and seafood at bulk discount prices.

Families can save a lot of money by taking advantage of the bulk-buying power Zaycon offers. Even if you don't have a large family (or freezer), you can take advantage of this great deal by going in with a few friends to split a case! Zaycon has two events coming soon in the Cypress, Houston, Katy and surrounding areas (Conroe, Baytown, The Woodlands)!

The event that intrigues me the most is on boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They are offering a 40 lb. case of chicken breasts for only $1.79/lb ($71.60 per case)! $1.79 is a great a great price for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are 100 % natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients.

They are also offering a Cod, Tilapia, and Shrimp event in select Cypress/Houston areas. Each is sold in 20 lb. cases for prices listed on their website.

To order:

1. Go to Zaycon Foods and register.

2. Choose the location where you would like to pick up your order. 

3. Place your order for that event.

4. Pick up your order on the specified day and time.

Note: Orders must be placed by certain dates, so don't miss out! Go to Zaycon Foods and check it out today!

Here's an exciting event for all of you that like to save money on gently used kids' and maternity clothing, toys, and baby gear! The PENNY PINCHING MAMAs Children's Consignment Event is a semi-annual sale where you can find tons of great quality items at a fraction of the cost of buying them new. Their website actually suggests that consignors price their items around 30% of retail!

Let's face it, kids grow way too fast and barely have a chance to wear their clothes and toys out. Why not save some of your hard-earned cash by buying new-to-them clothes and toys instead of paying full price at those over-priced children's clothing stores? 

PLUS, if your kids have already outgrown their cute clothes and they're in good shape, you could be a consignor at the sale and earn 70-80% of your sales less a small $15 consignor fee! Even with the minimal fees you would most likely earn way more money than if you had a garage sale! 

This sale is March 16-17 at the Berry Center. Do NOT miss this event!

I have recently found a great group on Facebook that actually allowed our family to have an extremely frugal Christmas! I want to share it with all of you, so that hopefully it will benefit you, whether you are in search of a particular item, or are looking to earn some cash selling some of your belongings.

It is called Beg, Barter, Buy & Sell in Cypress,TX. This group is made up of primarily Cypress residents who list things they have for sale or trade. You can also list things you are searching for, which is how I found a very cool Transformers toy for my son for Christmas without having to pay an arm and a leg for it!

I have been able to sell a lot of items in the group which also helped fund several Christmas purchases. Our Christmas was almost paid for by sales I made in the group! How cool is that? I won't have any credit card bills to pay off next year because of Christmas overspending! (But you may remember that my husband and I don't use credit cards any more and we have paid off all of our credit card debt!) This has been a great way to stick to our goals of not using credit cards to pay for things.

I think we'll see a lot of great things coming across the page now that Christmas is over and people are making room for all of their new gifts, so it would be a great time to check out the page!

There is also a group for Kid stuff, Multiples, Antiques, and other specific categories, as well as other areas of town so there's something out there for everyone.

Note: As with any personal sales transaction, within this group or Craigslist, please think about your safety. I always meet in a busy public location for transactions and do not give out personal information on the group's main page such as telephone numbers, addresses and when you will or will not be home!

I had to share this deal today because I LOVE to support small business! Freckles is a small children's clothing boutique located here in Cypress, TX, that is actually owned by one of my husband's former co-workers! Yea! You can find their store at 25712 Northwest Freeway, Suite D, Cypress, TX 77429.
 

If you haven't signed up for Living Social yet, go HERE first and sign up! It's FREE and they'll keep you posted on their deals for your area.

Then head over HERE and snag $30 worth of cute kids clothing for only $15 from Freckles Boutique!
