How does an extra $50 to stretch your Christmas budget sound?
I know for many of us it would be a true blessing right now. Well, you're in luck, because I've got one $50 Walmart gift card up for grabs today that will arrive just in time to do some Christmas shopping!
So how can you win this?
If you're anything like me, I'm sure if you won this $50 GC, you'd end up spending it on anyone BUT yourself. So just for a minute I'd like you to pretend that you have no other obligations and can use this money to buy yourself a little something special. I think as mom we often overlook treating ourselves, so I'd like to hear what you'd buy if you were the winner. Resources for ideas are the Walmart website and the 2008 Holiday Entertaining Guide. Of course, if you're the winner you can use the gift certificate to purchase anything you want.
Every reader has four methods available to enter this contest. Choose one each of any combination of method one, two, three, or four, for up to a total of 4 entries!!!
1. Leave a comment sharing what you would purchase if you were to spend the money on yourself only!
2. Take just 2 seconds to click over to The Coupon Cupboard to vote for Deal Seeking Mom as your favorite deals blog. Make sure to come back and leave a separate comment letting me know you voted! (This option is only available through Sunday, November 23rd, at 8:00 p.m., EST.)
3. Subscribe to my feed via RSS or email and leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so. If you’re already a subscriber, simply leave a separate comment letting me know you’re already subscribed. Lovin’ my subscribers! You guys make this all possible.
4. Spread the word about this contest in some manner and come back and leave a link in a separate comment. If you have a blog, you can blog about it. But if you don’t have a blog, you’re not at a disadvantage. You could review and Stumble it. You could Twitter it. You could post about it in a forum. Use your imagination!
It is important that you leave a separate comment for each type of entry because each comment is equal to one entry. Sorry to harp on this, but it really is that important to tally and select the winner easily, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me simplify the process!
Prize:
1 $50 Walmart Gift Certificate
This giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, November 24th. I’ll use Random.org to generate a number that corresponds with the winning comment number and post the winner on Tuesday, November 25th. Good luck!
While you're in a contest entering mood, don't forget to check out the Giveaway Gathering for a variety of contests being hosted on Deal Seeking Mom readers' blogs!

I would buy myself some nice new clothes that fit. I have recently lost about 25lbs and all my pants look horrible on me, but I am too cheap to spend money on my own stuff.

I would probably buy some "spa" items like nice bath salts, lotions, and something for a do-it-myself facial. Maybe also some cologne since I currently don't have any.

My shopping for the kids is just about done, so I might buy my wife some comfy slippers and the new blender she's been asking for.

I would definately use the gift card (Walmart) to purchase games to give to my children for Christmas. We love to play games and in our hectic lives, this tends to be the only time we stop and slow down to enjoy one another! Walmart gift card = games for my children + family time = PRICELESS!!!!

Just me, huh? Ooh, I know! I want a good half dozen pairs of thick, fluffy socks. I'm tired of my feet always being cold. It's just too early to be this cold in Georgia.

I'd either get a blender since mine broke or a new printer. I could also use a new pair of jeans.

I'd definitely buy lots of personal care products. Specifically, I'd get myself some hair dye since I am now a stay at home mom and can't afford the salon any more! Also some aloe vera, bath salts, and whatever else I find to have myself a great spa day!

I would either buy a new crockpot with a locking top so it would quit spilling in my car, or I would use it to buy several movies for movie night!
