I’ve hinted about it for days now, and finally here it is – your chance to win a $500 Walmart gift card!!!
Just 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. The judges will select ten of their favorite entries to be highlighted on Deal Seeking Mom, and I’ll use Random.org to select the winning comment. The winner will be posted on Tuesday, December 16th, and the prize will be mailed out on December 17th. Good luck!

You can easily save a $1 a day by making your own coffee. Buy a nice creamer at the store for $2-$3 and skip the fancy coffee shops.

I pack our lunches instead of eating out. This saves at least $5 per day. Plus the food is nutritious.

To save some money this Christmas we are only giving handmade gifts to extended family and usually one gift per family. That way we don’t have to get every kid and parent a gift!

Don’t eat out. Cook at home. It will be so much cheaper and better for you.

When my husband took a new job where he travels (drives) frequently, we realized quickly that he was spending at least $5/day at gas stations on drinks and snacks. We quickly remedied that by getting him a small ice chest and packing him snacks and drinks from home each day. I know canned sodas still aren’t always the best deal (money or health-wise), but they are FAR cheaper than 20 oz. drinks at gas stations and we save several dollars a day with this small change!

when out & about or going on a day trip; pack a lunch instead of stopping at a fast food restaurant. You could also eat prior to going out or get all shopping/errands done early and get back before lunch.

i’m already a subscriber. to save money on your auto gas bill, leave for your destination in plenty of time so you won’t feel the need to speed. Even 5 mph over 60-65 mph will significantly increase the amt of gas used therefore costing you more $.
