Walmart’s Projects Made Simple & $100.00 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway

May 3, 2012

If your home is like mine,  this may look familiar to you.   A worthy attempt to repair a hole in the wall, turned ugly.   Those of us who are not handy, need just a little bit more than the tiny instruction sheet that comes with the repair kit.

Many of us want to tackle these projects ourselves, without the hefty price tag of calling in an expert.  So whether you want to repair a whole in the wall, stain your deck, or paint an accent wall, Walmart’s Projects Made Simple has a solution for you.

Each available project includes:

:: A short video how-to with chapters for each step
:: Instructions to download or print out
:: A list of all the necessary supplies

There are step by step videos to help you with the project. Sometimes, I wish I could just do it alone, without asking the husband for help. (Asking him for help means waiting several months). These videos are so simple to understand and follow.  You might not become a master craftsman overnight, but you can tackle some of those nagging products!

Project’s Made Simple also includes printable documents and your shopping list!  If you have a DIY Project, you definitely want to check it out! 

Could you use a  $100.00 Walmart Givecard to help with your DIY project?   One FTM Reader will win a $100.00 Walmart Giftcard.

Note: Be sure to leave THREE separate comments for each entry.

1.  Check out Walmart’s Projects Made Simple  and leave a comment telling me which project you would like to do.

Dell Laser Printer Review & Givewaway!

April 25, 2012

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations Jo and Danielle!

I print alot. No, I print a ton. My printer is probably the second most used item in my house, after my coffee pot. If you coupon like I do, on any given day, you can print up to 30 coupons. I also use my printer to print 4 weekly grocery ads and 2 drug store ads. My husband also works from home several days a week, so we give our printer a good workout every day. We made the switch from ink jet to laser a few years back. I know that the cost of laser printers is more than ink jets, but in the long run, the cost is less. The one thing I have been missing is a color printer. I haven’t had a color printer in quite a while and when I last looked the price of a color laser printer was out of the question.

So, when Dell asked me to give their printer a test run, I wasn’t quite sure.   However, when I checked out the prices of the Dell Laser Color  printer, I was pleasantly surprised. They were actually quite reasonable, so I was willing to give it a whirl.

Before I got the Dell, I decided that I needed  a printer that can:

1. Print quickly.
2. Easy to setup  and add to my network.
3. Be cost effective.
4. Print nice quality color.
5. Fit on my small desk.

Before I got the printer out of the box, I wanted to check out how cost effective the price of printing is. I knew it wouldn’t be quite as cheap as printing black and white laser, but I was hoping it would be more cost effective than an ink jet.

Here is how it ranked:

Cost –  The Dell 1250c color was $189.99 – a really good price for a color, but the Dell 1130 is just $99.00!   Here is what I figured out – it would be roughly $.011 to print per page which is less than the ink jet I previously had. It isn’t quite as cheap as a strictly black and white laser, but the black and white cannot print beautiful color pictures – now can it!

Printing quickly – Can you say super speed? My previous printer sounded like a jet engine getting ready to take off and it was going to lift off my desk. This Dell is sweet – no loud rumbling sounds and it doesn’t take forever.

Setup – It only took me a few minutes to find the Mac Drivers online and presto, the printer was installed. I quickly shared it on my network and we can all print to it.

Print Nice Quality Color - After not having a color printer for several years, I realized how much I missed it. Evan had a school project and we were able to do his entire project in color.

Fit in a small place – The color printer took up very little space, so I was pleased that it fit.  My desk is filled to the max.

Overall, I am really pleased with this model!  I am super excited about two things:

Dell has offered FTM readers an exclusive discount on Dell Printers.   Save 20% off Dell models (1130, 1130n, 1250c, 1350cnw, 1355cn, 1355cnw) with Dell Coupon Code X037RQ17M6X5WK.  Shipping is free on orders over $49.00. (valid thru 4/28)

Even better, TWO READERS WILL WIN LASER PRINTERS!  One Winner will win a Dell 1250C and one will win a monochrome Dell 1130.
