There's nothing more frugal than free!... it's a CSN giveaway!

 

Yep you read that right, it's frugal, it's free, it's a giveaway!

 

If you’re like me….lots of good intentions, very little time; then you love the option to “multi-task” when possible.  I am a huge proponent of on-line shopping for this very reason.  I spend lots of hours in front of the computer, corresponding with family and friends, writing curriculum for my homeschool classes, grading the papers of students and of my own children, writing my blog, and hanging out on facebook way too much because it would appear I don’t have a life keeping up with my social connections.  

While I am performing all of the above activities I love to slip in a little shopping on the side.  What could be better than finding a gift online and having them ship it for you? Or, purchasing your homeschool supplies from an online store, where you can review the product, see others’ opinions and have it sent straight to your front door?!

 

There are many great online stores out there in web-land, but one of the most diverse is 

  

They have over 200 stores, where you can purchase most anything your heart desires, from beautiful dinnerware like this

 (Wouldn't this be beautiful on a Thanksgiving table?)

 to sofas, suitcases, school supplies and more! Of course, as you can well imagine, my favorite csn store is cookware.com. 
They carry so many different cooking items, and the lines of several of my favorite chefs.  Check out this Paula Deen covered casserole

  

(I want it, I covet it, I LOVE it!)

Oh the things I could cook in this, starting with one of my favorite Paula Deen recipes..Sauerkraut and Ribs.  I promise to share this one with you soon!

 

 

Or how about this adorable set from the Rachael Ray “Bubble and Brown” collection
 

 
  They are just so cute and they are dishwasher, oven, freezer and microwave safe!  I could make a mean batch of homemade mac and cheese in one of these stoneware bakers.

 

There are just so many different items you can purchase from cookware.com, definitely something for everyone!
