Shenzhen Knives Review and Giveaway


I was given a knife set for my wedding that I have been more than happy with, so I must admit that I did wonder what was so special about Shenzhen Knives.

I received a 6" Ceramic Chef's Knife to review, and when I first opened it, I was rather skeptical.

I should have remembered that looks can be deceiving. Because the knife is ceramic, it doesn't appear to be very sharp, and I honestly didn't expect it to be anything special at all. Boy was I wrong! I went to work washing up some potatoes for dinner, and when I made the first slice my jaw just about hit the floor. Never in my life have I been able to cut up potatoes that quickly and easily! I was sold!

I tried out my knife on several other types of vegetables, and all were much easier to cut up with the Shenzhen Knife than they are with the chef's knife I normally use. The only exception was carrots. They may have been a little easier to cut, but not a huge difference.

In a nutshell, here are my personal pros and cons about Shenzhen Knives:

Pros:
  • Extremely sharp; makes quick work of cutting up vegetables. (If you don't believe how sharp it is, I can show you a picture of the holes I found in my dishrag after I washed the knife! Gotta remember to be careful about that!)
  • Easy to clean; food does not dry onto ceramic the same way it does to stainless steel. I purposely let the vegetables sit on the knife all night long, and they washed right off the next day.
Cons:
  • Although I have not personally experienced any problems yet, the packaging states that care should be taken with ceramic knives. If too much force is applied, it could snap. You can be careless with a stainless steel knife, and I don't think it's going to break on you.
  • At $34.95 for the 6" chef's knife, you could say these are a little pricey. But if you cook a lot and need something that will save you a lot of time and energy in the kitchen, I'd say it's a fair price.
Buy it:

You can purchase Shenzhen Knives online. Their line includes a 3.2" ceramic paring knife, 4.8" ceramic slicing knife, 6" chef's knife, and a ceramic peeler.

Win it:

Shenzhen Knives has provided me with a 6" ceramic chef's knife to give away to one of my readers. Whoever wins is going to love it!

To enter, just leave your name and email address. If you'd like 2 extra entries, you can like The Deal Scoop and Shenzhen Knives on Facebook. (1 entry for each.)

A winner will be chosen April 6, 2011.



Disclosure: Shenzhen Knives provided me with a free product to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

All You Magazine for $.83 Per Issue


I highly recommend subscribing to All You magazine because it is completely FULL of coupons! The value of the coupons is definitely worth the price of the magazine. There are lots of deals I would have missed out on if I did not have a subscription.

Because All You is such a popular magazine, it is not that often that an awesome price rolls around for a subscription. My blogging friend Su, from The Intentional Home has found the lowest price that I have personally seen for this magazine at $.83 per issue. Plus, when you order through her link, a percentage of the sales will go toward helping adoptive families bring their children home. Su and her husband are in the final stages of adopting their son from Ethiopia, and I'm sure she would love to bring some funds in to pay for their adoption fees.

I hope you'll take advantage of this awesome deal! Go here to get the details on how to order.

The Mini Social: $10 off $10

Use the coupon code LUCKYKIDS to get $10 off a purchase of $10 or more at the Mini Social. If you got the free $20 credit I posted about a while ago, you can get something worth up to $30 for free!
Neither the coupon code nor the free credit will go toward shipping, though, so you will have to pay cash for that. Shipping is $6.95, so if you're getting $30 worth for $6.95, I'd still say that's pretty good!

Thanks, Savvy Spending!

Harris Teeter Super Doubles 3/23 - 3/29

Harris_Teeter_Super_Doubles
Harris Teeter will be having Super Double Coupons March 23 - 29. Coupons with a face value of up to $1.98 will be doubled, with a limit of 20 per household per day.


I have posted the match-ups in a Google Document which will allow you to sort the list according to your own preference - by price, coupon source, or aisle of the store.

-The Master List is what will come up when you initially click on the link to the document. This is what you want to look at if you keep checking back to see if I've added anything new. Anything new that has been added to the list will be at the bottom of the Master List spreadsheet. ( I may or may not have time to add them to the other lists.)

-At the top of the spreadsheet you will see options to sort by price, by coupon source, or by aisle.

  • If you're the type that likes to shop according to what will be the cheapest, you'll want to sort by price. The list is sorted by the least expensive to the most expensive.

  • If you like to file your coupon inserts whole and only cut out the coupons when you need them, you'll want to sort by insert. The coupons are listed in order by insert date with printable coupons and other sources included as well. *This isn't a big deal this time because almost all the coupons are printables.*

  • If you want to print out a list for the store, you can sort by aisle to make your trip through the store go a little faster.

I will be adding more deals as the week goes on, but please feel free to leave a comment if you find any deals not listed.

10 Tips for Finding Great Travel Deals




I'm getting excited as my husband just placed reservations for our 5th anniversary getaway! As you know, travel can be very expensive. By the time you pay for gasoline or airfare, lodging and food, there's not much left over for spending money!

Here are a few tips on how to save on those travel expenses:

  • If you can, plan your family getaway for a time other than peak season. Your lodging rates will be incredibly lower because hotels and resorts are desperate for business. Travel to the beach sometime around October. Most of the time it's still warm enough (at least at the southern beaches) to enjoy the water. You won't have to compete with a swarm of tourists, but you can still enjoy everything you would in the summer. Perfect! If you're traveling during the warmer months, check out a ski resort. You might not be able to ski, but the rates will be incredible, and you'll be able to enjoy scenic mountain views.
  • Search price comparison sites like Kayak.com for the lowest airfare rates. You can search up to 140 travel sites at one time for the lowest price.
  • Skip the expensive tourist "must haves." I saw on someone's blog that they purchased Disney themed clothing before they traveled to Disney World. They knew their kids would want it once they got there, but they got it ahead of time at a much lower price.
  • Invest in a Roadside Assistance program if you're traveling by car. Hopefully it won't happen, but if you happen to break down or have a flat tire, you won't have to pay exorbitant rates for a tow truck. Many times you can enroll in these programs just for the duration of your trip and cancel when you return.
  • Plan ahead. You won't have time to search for cheapest airfare and lodging rates if you're booking at the last minute.
  • Pack your own food for car trips. Even if you're eating off the fast food dollar menu, 2 or 3 items per person adds up quickly.
  • When traveling by car, plan your route carefully or use a GPS. You'll waste a lot of gas (and it's expensive these days!) if you get lost.
  • When you arrive at your destination, stop by the chamber of commerce (or write to them ahead of time.) You'll receive an abundance of coupons for attractions at your vacation spot.
  • If your hotel room has a kitchenette, go the local grocery store and buy your own food instead of eating out. Eating out is a huge expense on vacation, and you'll save a bundle by making your own food. If you feel like it, you can even bring your coupons with you and save more at the grocery store!
  • Remember that fun comes in forms that are FREE! You don't have to go to every amusement park, museum, or aquarium there is. Just enjoy spending time together - play games, take walks, talk and laugh!
I wrote this blog post while participating in the SocialMoms and Alamo blogging program, for a gift card worth $25. For more information on how you can participate, click here.

Earn Cash with Social Dish!


Social Dish is yet another daily deal site that will soon be launching. The difference with this one is that instead of earning a one-time referral credit when you refer someone, you earn actual CASH every time they make a purchase, and every time someone THEY refer makes a purchase, and everytime someone THEY refer makes a purchase, etc. up to 10 deep!

Since this site is still in the pre-launch phase, you have a GREAT chance of being the first to refer someone, meaning YOU'LL be the one to earn the cash from their purchases and from all their friends purchases!

It's a little hard to explain all of it, but basically you'll want to go ahead and get as many people to sign up under your referral link as possible. The more people who are already signed up under your link, the greater chance you'll have to earn money when the deals are available for purchase.

Get signed up here and read their FAQ's if you're still confused! :) You'll be glad later when you have a large network of people signed up under your name!
