Anniversary Contest

One year ago this month, July 2007, I started this blog. I wanted to share my knowledge with others and organize my information for myself. When it comes to finding deals, couponing, and freebies, I love it and want to share it! I have had lots of fun with this blog, and I really enjoy letting others know about deals I find. I get so giddy about deals and freebies & I like to see others get the same rush. Isn't it fun?

To celebrate the one year anniversary of my blog, I will be giving away a few prizes! YIPPEE! To enter the contest, all you need to do is leave a comment here on this post, then put a link to this contest post on your blog. Share the love of deals and freebies!

I will have two drawings, for prize #1 and prize #2. I will be using a random number generator to pick the winners. The contest will run from today through July 27th. I will post the winners on July 28th.

Prize #1 A $10 gift card to Target!

Prize #2 Two complimentary movie passes to any Regal Cinema location! The passes are good through 2010.

Good luck everyone!

Contest

And the winner is...

THANKS TO ALL FOR ENTERING! I love hosting giveaways...I wish I had enough stuff to do them all the time!

I used a random number generator this time to pick the winner of the contest. There were 16 entries (although there were 17 comments). The random number generator picked number 12, which is AMI (i will survive).

Congrats Ami! I am excited you won! Ami is a good friend that lives by me so I don't even have to mail the package...how convenient is that? Don't worry though....I will have more giveaways in the future so keep checking back.

So Ami, I need you to tell me what kind of handmade cards you want: thank you, birthday, etc. and I will make you 4 cards. Here are the pics of what else you will get:

A nice selection of samples and trial sizes!! (A great way to get hooked on trial sizes and samples is to start receiving them....not only are they convenient, but they are so stinkin' cute).

And 2 full size products...lip gloss and deodorant. Yippee! Congrats again Ami on winning.

And the winner is...

It's time again....

for another giveaway!

I made my 100th post a few days ago, so I thought what a good reason to have another fun contest! Since we are focusing on saving money, food storage, frugal living, etc. I want to give away something related to that. Sooo...here is what the winner will get!

1. A starter stash of product samples and trial sizes to use in your 72 hour kits or wherever you want.

2. Some cute handmade cards by me. :) I haven't made them yet, so I will even let you specify what kind of cards you want...birthday, thank you, etc. How about a set of 4 cards?

3. I will also throw in a few other misc goodies I can come up with. Surprise! I have a few ideas up my sleeve.

NOW...if you want to enter to win, here is what you have to do: Make reply to this post. In your reply, I want you to share one or two tips for saving money, building up your food storage, lessons you have learned, your best freebie ever, etc. so we can all get some new ideas. Anyone can enter (as long as you live in the U.S) even if I don't know you. I will draw a random winner on April 29th.

It's time again....

And the winner is....

After entering everyone's name

And the winner is....

Contest #3

Time for another contest! :)

During the last contest I received lots of fabulous information from all of you on how to improve my blog. I am still putting those in the works....it is just taking longer than I anticipated. SO be patient. Good things come to those who wait!

Everyone who replies to this post from now until November 26th will be entered into a drawing. There will be two winners this time!

Drawing #1 will be for a handful of FREE product coupons. These are coupons where you get the item for FREE, right then, not buy one get one free coupons. Just FREE! The coupons include Listerine, Crunch bar, A+D Diaper rash creme, & Atkins Advantage. The combined total value of these coupons together is over $19! I will also throw in a handful of misc coupons as well.

Drawing #2 is for a bunch of product samples to help build up your supply! Product samples are great for emergencies, 72 hour kits, traveling, and much more. Nora won the last contest when I did product samples....and I know it was popular so we will do it again.

Have fun!
