It's Back... Children's Place Monster Sale In Progress

Posted by Penny Pinching Parent on December 29, 2009 , under , | comments (0)



One of my favorite monsters is back and he's not the least bit scary! I LOVE The Childrens Place Monster Sale!!

This is usually the time when I stock-up on all the basic items for my daughter for next year... I have a little storage bin with drawers in her closet specifically for all the basics I buy a year ahead.

The Childrens Place Monster Sale is going on right now. Prices do usually drop a tad bit later on, but for the best selection, I suggest shopping sooner rather than later.

It's Savings Sunday here at Penny Pinching Parent and here's a look at the diaper deals and other baby deals you can expect to find this week.

There is a promotion at Kroger this week that is definitely worth a mention...

They have their Pampers Diapers and Training Pants Big Boxes on sale for $19.50 and if you spend $25 on select P & G items, you get $5 (with Kroger card of course)... add your coupons, etc. and you've got an end of year Pampers deal!

Things should start to pick back up on the baby deal front right after the new year. We have our little one's birthday coming-up, so lots still going on around here after Christmas... plus, I am going to be doing some end of the year site maintenance. So, things might still be a little slim around here post wise for another day or two.

Recall Alert: IKEA Recalls LEOPARD Highchairs

Posted by Penny Pinching Parent on December 23, 2009 , under , | comments (0)



Looks like IKEA is recalling about 600 of their fairly new Leopard highchair. Here's the scoop from the CPSC:

IKEA Recalls LEOPARD Highchairs Due to Fall and Choking Hazards

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: LEOPARD Highchairs

Units: About 600

Distributor: IKEA Home Furnishings, of Conshohocken, Pa.

Hazard: The snap locks used to secure the seat to the frame can break and allow the seat and child to drop through the frame, posing a fall hazard to young children. Detached snap locks can pose a choking hazard to young children.

Incidents/Injuries: IKEA has received 11 reports worldwide of failing snap locks, including one report of a child falling through the frame and suffering bruised legs. In addition, the firm has one report of a child mouthing a detached snap lock. No incidents have been reported in the United States.

Description: This recall involves all colors of the LEOPARD highchairs sold as a seat and a frame individually. The seat and tray has an adhesive label affixed to the underside with the words LEOPARD and “Made in Italy,” an eight-digit article number and a five-digit supplier number (19589).

Sold exclusively at: IKEA stores nationwide from October 2009 through November 2009 for about $60. The frame sold for $40 and the seat for $20.

Manufactured in: Italy

Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the highchairs and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact IKEA toll-free at (888) 966-4532 anytime, or visit the firm’s Web site at http://www.ikea-usa.com/.

PPP Stuff: Happy Holidays

Posted by Penny Pinching Parent on December 19, 2009 , under | comments (0)



I just wanted to take a second and check in with everyone and let you know that posting will probably be pretty light over the next week or so.


Tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary and then of course we also have Christmas this week... not to mention my daughter's birthday a few days after that. So, the holidays are especially busy around the PPP household.

I just wanted to keep you in the loop in case you check in and things haven't been updated multiple times a day like normal.

Hope those of you celebrating Christmas this week have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone else!!

Don't Hope For a Miracle. Make One: 10,000 Charity Donation Sweepstakes

Posted by Penny Pinching Parent on December 18, 2009 , under , | comments (0)



CBS Films’ upcoming film Extraordinary Measures, starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser, is inspired by the true story of John Crowley – a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening disease.

To celebrate Crowley’s story, there is a wonderful opportunity right now to get the word about a cause that is close to you, and also possibly win some money for them!

It’s so easy, all you have to do is upload an inspirational video.

· Go to the Inspirational Quilt and click on Upload Your Story http://extraordinarymeasuresthemovie.com/#/quilt

· Once your video is uploaded, you will be entered into the sweepstakes for a chance to designate the charity of your choice to receive $10,000.

· Tell your friends to vote to increase your chances of winning.

Check out the quilt and some amazing sotries already being shared at http://extraordinarymeasuresthemovie.com/#/quilt.

Just a few of the amazing stories already being shared include, story of Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a young cancer patient who, facing a grim diagnosis, insisted on setting up a lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer before succumbing to the disease at age eight. Her stand evolved into a national lemonade stand initiative and foundation which has since raised over $25 million for the cause.

Other videos highlight a mountaineer with Multiple Sclerosis who encourages and inspires other MS patients to find their own "mountains" to conquer, an inner city childrens' center in Harlem, and two women who joined forces to build a playground equipped for special needs children.

This is a fantastic opportunity for ANY charity (big or small) to get the word out about a cause and possibly win some money!

* NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. Participants must be legal residents of 1 of the 50 US states or D.C., at least 18 years old or age of majority in state of residence or older at date of entry. Entries accepted until January 26, 2010. Void where prohibited by law. For complete details see the Official Rules.
