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!

Never drive if you can walk. Walk to the convenience store for milk, ice, lottery tickets. Walk to the grocery store to pick up that little item you forgot. Walk to the drug store. Not only do you save on gas and wear and tear on your car and tires, but you get your body fit while doing so.

Always turn your thermostat down to 55 when you leave the house, and at night. And when you’re home, wear warm clothing like sweats or sweaters so you can be warm while your thermostat is at 66.

I bought a set of reusable juice boxes with built in straws off of eBay so I no longer have to buy packs of juice boxes for the kids. I buy big jugs of juice and I water it down which is much better for the kids as well. I am saving more than a dollar a day doing this

One way to save at least a dollar a day is to get rid of premium cable. We have just basic cable and that is a difference of about $30 a month or a savings of around $1 a day. I love the One Dollar Give and have enjoyed reading about the charities there. Also, thanks for mentioning libraries as a way to save money…you can borrow DVD TV series from your library and never miss your cable!

I’m subscribed to your blog now! Another tip for saving at least $1 a day is using coupons! I saved $17 at the store today using coupons. Over a month, that would be more than $60 each month!

I blogged about your giveaway here:
https://www.frugalinvirginia.com/2008/12/giveaways-you-wont-want-to-miss.html
This may sound simple, but we save money each day by just drinking a lot of water instead of other drinks around the house. (Except for my small juice addiction…) Water is so much cheaper than other beverages.
