Hump Day Giveaways - 2/15

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!  It was an ok day for me.  My wife is such a loving woman every day that Valentine's Day doesn't have to be anything too special.  One of our friends from high school lost her father suddenly to a heart attack this past weekend.  We went to the funeral visitation tonight and then had dinner with my wife's family and another friend from high school.  I'll tell you one thing...having someone our age lose a parent really struck close to home.  It's also made me think a little harder about my health and how I'm living my life.

Anyway, it's Hump day!  Please share your amazing giveaways below!  Thanks!

JAWS Cleaner Review & Giveaway

Our family tries to be as friendly to the environment as possible, but we still send a lot to the landfill every week.  I was recently introduced to a product that not only helps reduce some of the plastic we're throwing away, but it also saves us money!  We really like this system and it will most likely replace many of our other cleaning products around the house.

The JAWS system comes with reusable spray bottles and refill cartridges of concentrated cleaners.  JAWS stands for Just Add Water System.  Fill the bottle to the fill line, insert a JAWS cartridge, and get to your cleaning.

The JAWS system comes in four different types of cleaner: Glass & Hard Surface, Bathroom Cleaner/Deodorizer, Multi-Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser, and Disinfectant Cleaner/Degreaser.  This gives you cleaning power in every room of the house!  You can make a full bottle of cleaner for less than $2.00 once you've bought the starter kit (bottle and 2 refill cartridges).

JAWS Starter Bottles with Cartridges

Starting Monday, February 13 and running through March 11, most Buehler's Fresh Foods stores in Ohio will be offering a special on the JAWS cleaners.  All four JAWS cleaners will be offered at a price of $4.09 per starter kit (bottle and 2 refill cartridges) and $2.99 per pack of refill cartridges (2 refill cartridges).  This makes the starter kits $2.05 per full bottle and the refills become $1.50 per bottle.

JAWS Refill Kits

If you don't live near a Buehler's Fresh Foods store, you can also find it at many other retailers, or on the JAWS web site.

Would you like to win a JAWS home cleaning kit as pictured above?  JAWS is offering one of my readers the same kit that I received for review.  The kit includes one full bottle each of Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner, Multi-Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser, and Bathroom Cleaner/Deodorizer. Each of those come with one refill cartridge. The kit will also include an empty bottle of Disinfectant Cleaner Degreaser. That one comes with two refill cartridges.  If you want a chance to win this kit, please use the Rafflecopter form below to enter!
