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!
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 blogged about the contest here:
https://likeabull.blogspot.com/2008/12/because-of-economy-another-give-away.html
And one more way to save a dollar a day is: Drink soda out of a 2-liter, it’s cheaper by the ounce this way and 2-liters go on sale often.

My 3rd tip is…..use olive oil as an eye cream/moisturizer. Just the tiniest bit works & honestly it has worked better for me than any expensive eye cream, gel, mask etc. !!

My tip: Instead of buying the expensive body scrubs use large granular sugar mixed with olive oil. Use it while in the shower . 20 x’s better than anything I’ve tried before.

I’m a subscriber via e-mail. Second tip: Recently I discovered I could get barely used and new clothing on Ebay. I just bought a beautiful cropped jacket for my daughter for $3.00 and free shipping.

My third tip : Cut down on time spent in shower just letting the water wash away your day. I know it might be hard (hopefully I’m not the only one who does this) but think how conserving water helps the environment and your pocket.

Ask yourself this question every time you pick up an item at the grocery store, “Do I really need this right now?” You might put down that plug-in air freshener that is not a true necessity and save yourself some money.

Utilize hand-me-downs as much as possible!! I never say “no” to a bag of clothes and, if there is something I cannot use, I give it to friends or donate it to charity. I have not purchased a winter coat for my twins in FOUR YEARS!!
