I’ve hinted about it for days now, and finally here it is – your chance to win a $500 Walmart gift card!!!

walmart-500-gift-cardJust in time to make your holidays a little happier, Nickelodeon and Walmart have teamed up to offer this fabulous contest hosted by the Elevenmoms.

Yep, that’s right – each Elevenmom is giving away one $500 gift card on her blog, so you have 20 chances to win! Find details on the Elevenmoms site on how you can enter to win each one. Please note that you may only win once.

So who wants to add $500 to their holiday budget? You didn’t really think I was going to make this EASY for you, did you? You’re going to have to work a little bit for a prize this big.

In light of the tough economic times, this contest is all about discovering new ways to help each other save money. Yesterday I wrote a post detailing seven easy ways to cut at least $1 from your budget per day in the hopes that it would inspire you to participate in The One Dollar Give. I only just scratched the surface though, and I know that you all have some amazing tips to share as well.

So there you go – holiday-themed or not, I want you to share your best methods for cutting back by at least $1 a day!

Methods of Entry*

Every reader can submit up to three (3) different tips to enter this contest. Choose one each of any combination of method one, two, or three for up to a total of 3 entries!!!

YOU MUST LEAVE A TIP WITH EACH ENTRY. ENTRIES THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW WILL BE DELETED.

1. Leave a comment sharing your best money-saving tip to cut at least $1 a day out of your budget!

2. Subscribe to my feed via RSS or email and leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so along with another money-saving tip. If you’re already a subscriber, simply leave a separate comment letting me know you’re already subscribed along with another money-saving tip. Lovin’ my subscribers! You guys make this all possible.

3. Spread the word about this contest in some manner and come back and leave a link in a separate comment along with another money-saving tip. 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!

*Please read the rules for entering and the timeline information carefully as this contest differs from the usual giveaways that I host.

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 $500 Walmart Gift Card

This giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, December 15th.

    My favorite way to save money, such as a dollar a day, is to Super Coupon. I wait for the great deals and stock up, getting $160 in groceries for $30. Then I don’t have to pay regular price for things, thus saving at least a dollar each day.

    We’ve tried to cut out the use of all ziploc type bags and paper plates. Sure, it takes a little bit more time to wash dishes but you will save in the long run without having to buy those all the time! And you save part of the earth also.

    We save a dollar each day by only renting movies when we have a free rental code from Redbox, the local cheap rental place (they are all over the country), or checking out movies from the library. It’s been awhile since we paid for a rental.

    I save at least a $1 a day by opening up the shades and using natural light as much as possible.

    If you have a husband like mine who likes to hit the conveince store every morning than here is my tip – buy the things he likes to buy in bulk. It is cheaper and also saves time from having to stop at the store every day.

    ok for some soda is essential ..just like coffee is. Get the jumbo cups- reuseable and fill with ice and drink at home, and have a 2 liter for refilling at work, so when you need a drink, its cheaper. Not asking to kick it because caffeine is an addiction but thats a great way to save time and money- time from running to the machine, and at the machine- store you end up buying candy, etc (which that too you could bring halloween candy or holiday candy that was clearanced out and keep in a drawer for sweet tooth moments. For some that cuts out more than a buck.

    I cut up old T shirts for diaper wipes and just wet them in the sink. Works great and you can wash or not- up to you!
    Insulate your water pipes and water heater.

    I am a HUGE coffee drinker but I didn’t have a programmable coffee maker… and believe me, I need coffee in the morning since I get up at 4am! I was stopping at WaWa every morning to get coffee! I decided I was wasting too much money doing that so on a recent trip to WalMart I found a programmable coffee maker for $24. I think its a CuisineArt but I will have to check. Anyway, its GORGEOUS and definitely was a GREAT DEAL! And now I set it up at night 2 be ready when I wake up and I’m saving a little over $1/day!
    Easy peasy!
    Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I could really use this right about now!!!
