Black cumin seed has been revered as a medicinal herb with a wide range of healing capabilities for almost 4000 years.

The Holy Prophet once said - "Hold on to the use of the black seed for indeed it has a remedy for every disease except death."

Big savings on naming your own star

Save over $45 with this offer.

Are you looking for a unique gift to give the person in your life who seems to have everything? How about the gift of a star? I've always known about the International Star Registry, which allows people to purchase their very own star and name it but the price was always more than I could even consider. For the next nine days, you can get a star for yourself or someone else for $20. With a normal selling price of $65, that is a savings of $45!

This great deal gets even better. Currently, there is a coupon code that you can use to get 10 percent off the sales price of naming your own star. That puts the final price for this deal at $18. The code is ELLEN and you must put each letter in all caps for the coupon code to work. Use this code at checkout. Another great part of this deal is that shipping is absolutely free!

So what do you get for $18? First, you get a 16″ by 12″ full-color parchment certificate that has your star's name on it, the date, and the actual coordinates to where the star resides in space. Second, you get a 16″ x 12″ sky chart that not only lists the star’s name, date and constellation, but it also has the star surrounded by a big red circle so that you can clearly see where your star is. Third, you get an astronomy book that is filled with sky charts. Finally, the deal comes with a congratulations letter for the person you are gifting the star to.

Get a wellness pack for yourself or your pet.

Nordic Naturals is a company that sells health and wellness products that are—well—natural. They have gummy vitamins, vitamins for kids, vitamins for vegans, fish oil supplements, algae supplements and much much more. The company even has a line of natural wellness products for cats and dogs. Cod liver oil and Omega-3 supplements seem to be the most popular products for pets.

Head to Nordic Naturals homepage in order to get your free sample. Scroll down and you'll see a button at the bottom of the screen that says “Free Sample.” The button is blue. Click on it. You must confirm that you are a new customer to continue. The offer isn't good if you've ever purchased from Nordic Naturals before. Now you must choose whether you want a Wellness Essential Pack, or a Pet Essential Pack. Click the blue continue button after you've made your choice.

Let Nordic Naturals know how you found out about them. I found out from a forum I frequent and there was no option for that. I had to check the “none” button. Fill out your full name, mailing address and e-mail address to complete the form. Click “Submit” when done.

Get free cake at Shoney's

December 6th is free hot fudge cake day.

Shoney's is a popular restaurant that can be found in the following states: Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. If you live in one of those states then you are in luck!

On December 6th, that's this Thursday, Shoney's is giving away free cake. They are calling it Free Hot Fudge Cake Day. All you have to do is stop by the restaurant and request your free pieces of cake. Unfortunately, I live in New Jersey so I can't get the free cake, however, I have been to Shoney's numerous times when visiting my parents in Florida. I can attest to the fact that their food is delicious.


Although there are no strings attached to the free hot fudge cake deal, you might want to make a day of it and order lunch or dinner beforehand. The buffets include classic southern foods, such as fried chicken, meatloaf, green beans, mashed potatoes, baked beans, soups, salads and biscuits. Of course, Shoney's breakfasts are equally as great, but I don't think you want to eat a piece of hot fudge cake that early in the morning.

Shoney's has been in business since 1947 and the company prides itself on its home-cooked meals. I suggest you sign-up for Shoney's E-Club if you live in one of the 17 states that house these restaurants. You can get coupons geared toward new dishes as well as coupons for children's meals. You must be 13 years of age or older to join the E-Club. You can always unsubscribe later on if you feel that you aren't getting the deals you're looking for.  
 

Get a free calender starring you

Elf Yourself into the new year!

OfficeMax has teamed up with Elf Yourself to offer you a free calendar. This freebie is so much fun that I couldn't wait to share it with it. I used to have a subscription to Jib Jab because I thought the videos were so funny. Now I just stick with the free videos.

You can make a free video and request your free calendar in a matter of minutes. All you have to do is go to the OfficeMax Elf Yourself page and click “Upload Photo.” Next, you'll need to check the box that reads “I agree to the terms and conditions.” If you want to know what the terms and conditions are, you can just click on the words “terms and conditions” and they will come up.

The fun part comes next. Upload a picture of yourself from either your computer, Facebook or using your webcam. You can upload up to five pictures for five different elves. I used pictures of my kids and my nieces. I knew they would get a kick out of the video. With each picture you upload, you'll have the ability to rotate the picture or zoom in so that you can get your picture to fit inside the elf face.

After you have uploaded all of the pictures you want to use click “Let's Dance!” Your Elf Yourself video will begin to play. Sit back and have a good time watching it.
 
You can immediately share your video for free on Facebook, Twitter or via e-mail after you have finished watching it. If you want the free calendar, click the red “Free Calendar” button at the top right-hand side of the screen. You will get a code like this “272225” that you must print out and take with you to your local OfficeMax. An OfficeMax associate will help you get your free calendar.

When you're done click the green “Submit” button.

The company will give you a reference number and let you know that it will take eight weeks for your free sample to arrive. If it doesn't arrive at that time, you can e-mail support@mrsdashgiveaway.com for a delivery status update. I've had Mrs. Dash products before and I highly recommend you give them a try.

Your top Black Friday deals

Get ready for big savings.

Last year's Black Friday deals don't even compare to the savings you can expect to find this Black Friday. I don't know if the drastically reduced merchandise is in any way related to the bad economy, but it doesn't matter to me if it means I can save hundreds of dollars on my Christmas gifts. Here are a few of the biggest deals I've spotted so far.

Free Christmas cards

Get five greeting cards totally free.

Good Samaritans Missions Services is a Christian Humanitarian Organization that began in 1977. They currently have three ministries. They provide bears to sick children, funds for families that have children with medical and transportation needs, and free greeting cards to anyone that wants them. Right now you can get five free greeting cards to use this Christmas.

Head to Good Smaritans website where you can fill out the form to get the greeting cards. There is a picture at the top that shows you which cards you will be getting. Below the picture you must enter your first name, last name, e-mail address, mailing address, the date and time. The date and time was already filled out for me, so I'm guessing it will be for you as well. Click “Submit Info” when you are all finished.

I did have a little problem when I tried to submit my info. It said I had too much information in the fields. You can email good.samaritan@1goodsam.org if this happens to you, but I was able to fix it by abbreviating my city. I'm sure not all cities can be abbreviated though.

Although you can get the scripture Christmas greeting cards completely free with free envelopes and free shipping, there is a donate button on the left-hand side of the page. The organization relies on donations to continue on with its ministry, so if you find that you really enjoy the cards and want to make it possible for the program to continue so that other people can get the cards, you may want to consider making a donation.

Free Redbox game rental

As simple as using your cell.

I love Redbox because it is not only convenient, but also extremely affordable. The only thing cheaper than Redbox is renting videos from your local library. Redbox charges $1 per day for movie and game rentals. Game systems supported by Redbox include the Wii, PS3 and the Xbox.

Currently, Redbox is honoring a code that will allow you one free game rental anytime between now and the end of the year. All you have to do to get the free game rental is use your cell phone to text the code RENT to 727272.

Redbox will then return you a text that will contain a code you can use at any Redbox location to get the game free. You may even want to sign up for the Redbox Text Club to get even more freebies down the road. I have to pay extra for the texts I send, so I don't use this method, but it works great for individuals who have texts included in their cell phone plan.

It also pays to sign up for Redbox e-mails. The first time I did this I got a code for a free movie rental. I've gotten lots of other great deals since then. Just don't forget to confirm your e-mail after you sign up.

If you aren't sure where the nearest Redbox is, use the “Locations” tab on the Redbox homepage. They are commonly placed in busy supermarkets. We have them at both Acme and ShopRite. It is easy for me to grab a DVD at the end of my grocery trip. I love this because companies like Netflix don't have current movies, but Redbox does.
