I little while ago I wrote about a great site called CommonKindness.com.  It’s a coupon site with some major differences from other coupon sites.  You can actually choose a charity from a huge list of charities in their database.  When you print and use a coupon, money is donated to the charity you chose.  And don’t think it’s just national charities either.  I’m actually supporting my local hospital to help buy life saving equipment.

Another difference?  CommonKindness.com has coupons that aren’t found on every coupon site.  They have lots of coupons for organic and natural products.  This time I’m featuring a coupon for $1 off Hugo Naturals Products

For the Love of Paisleys blog is having their first rafflecopter giveaway.  She’s giving away 10 prizes.  There’s only 4 days left on the rafflecopter and only 26 entries so far.  I’d say about 6 or 7 of them or mine.  Go over and enter for an excellent chance at winning a prize and support a fellow blogger on her first giveaway.

Tell her Luv Saving Money sent ya, I told her I’d post about it and help raise awareness of her giveaway.

You’re on the way out the door to your kid’s soccer practice.  You grab your cell phone in case you need it for an emergency, or perhaps you’re expecting a phone call, or maybe you just want it to entertain yourself or your little one.  You get there and realize your battery is almost dead.  Now what?

eFreesia.com has portable charger that fit in your purse or pocket that you can take with you to charge your cell phone or tablet in just such a case.  I can’t tell you how many times I had hoped to take care of some business with my cell phone or really wanted it to entertain my 3 yr old while we wait at the doctor’s office and my phone or Kindle Fire was almost dead.

I love the sleek look of the portable charger.  It’s easy to use too.  Simply charge your eFreesia portable charger from your computer or usb compatible wall charger, then take it with you. When I charged mine it didn’t take much time at all.  There are blue indicator lights at the bottom that let you know when it’s turned on and when it’s fully charged.

I received the eFreesia Duo which is fantastic for me.  I can actually charge 2 devices at once with the Duo.

Here I’m charging my iPhone 4s and my Kindle Fire at the same time.  I had charged the eFreesia duo from my computer a week ago so it seems to hold the charge for a while and still have the power to charge both my devices at least for a while though it seems to charge my iPhone faster than the Kindle.  There is also a power on/off button on the side.

It works well whether I’m charging just one device or two.

There are 2 different size USB connectors built into the eFreesia Duo.  I connected the one that fits my Kindle Fire and I pulled the other one out just so you could see it.

The eFreesia Duo works for iPad, iPhone, Samsung HTC, and more.  There are also different options for eFreesia portable chargers with the eFreesia mini, and eFreesia bar as well.  The prices are actually quite reasonable for a portable charger.  The Duo is $39.99 on their website while the smaller ones are less of course.

The eFreesia would also be a handy thing to have around during a power outage provided you keep it charged.

You can find eFreesia (and order their products) on their website: www.eFreesia.com
