Last week, you shared with pictures of your favorite pet on our Facebook page, for your chance to win a $50 gift card to
Jeffer's Pet Supplies. We were overwhelmed with cute images and our heart skipped a beat for
21-year-old Buzz, who's blind and deaf (and looks like a giant stuffed animal).
Congratulations to Savings.com user and Facebook fan Lourdes Doyle, and her therapy dog, Leo. Leo may not have legs that work properly, but he's making a difference not only in his family's life, but also as a therapy dog.
Lourdes, I've sent you
each an email with instructions on how to claim your prize. If
for
some reason it doesn't reach you, send me an email at
social@savings.com before the end of the
day on Tuesday, April 17th or another winner will be chosen.

Shop Smarter
I recently got a new
niece and I'm quickly learning that buying baby gear is about the most
fun way to spend my money. Especially since I've found a few companies
that market eco-friendly baby clothes and supplies. In the past few
months, I've become a bit of an expert at buying little gifts for a
baby. Here are some of my favorite places that specialize in cheap
eco-friendly baby gear. Everything is under $50 and can be purchased
online.
1. Hooded Towel and Washcloth Set by Under the Nile
Under the Nile
sells a towel set which includes a baby-sized hooded towel in a monkey
design and a duck washcloth. Both the washcloth and towel are made from
100 percent Egyptian Cotton and washing machine friendly. (Price:

Money Saving Tips
photo courtesy of Mom Smackley at FlickrI tend to hold on to
clothes until they're falling apart – stains on the cuff, rips at the
seam, and faded. In that condition, I don't feel right donating them to a
charity shop. But I also don't feel right just tossing old clothes in
the trash and adding to our ever-growing landfills. So I end up with
bags of unwanted clothes taking up space in my closet.
Recently
I stumbled across the bags while I was spring cleaning. Instead of just
tossing them back in the closet and forgetting for another year, I
decided to do find a way to re-purpose the clothes. Turns out, old
clothes have plenty of new uses, and I've saved a bunch of money reusing
something to boot.
