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. 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!

    Use cloth diapers. We’ve saved a decent amount of money on kiddo1, but now that we’re expecting kiddo2, I’m very excited to NOT have to buy either disposable OR cloth (since we already have them)

    I have saved more than 1.00 a day by making my own baby food from vegetables from our garden and our fruit trees. I have figured it up and we save about $3.00 or more a day just in baby food!!

    I shop only 1 day a week and with a list. the planning of shopping trip really helps. For the store I fold a plan paper into 8 -10 sections and break up the store by isles. then fill in the needs per isle with a c/o for coupon next to couponed items. I always get home with what I need and it helps to not impulse buy.

    To save money, we only eat our lunches out on occasion. It is a big money saver for my husband to take leftovers in his lunch each day. I know we save more than $1 a day just doing this.

    I have subscribed…..for my second way I save more than a $1.00 a day. I changed my work schedule to a four day work week. I live 43 miles one way to work, so the gas alone is a savings. Plus, the wear and tear on the vehicle, and the cost of daycare for that day.

    Avoid Sonic between 2pm and 4pm. You don’t have to have a soda every day, Lori!!! Even if it is happy hour. LOL And….making sure you really do know where you are going when traveling to somewhere new. You can waste a lot of gas by guessing and not planning ahead.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

    I always try to make just a little bit extra dinner each night so that my husband can take it to work with him and not have to eat out for lunch. Packing his lunch saves us quite a bit of money.
    Thanks!
