Congrats to the winner of the Jif Gift Basket Giveaway, The Brown Family!!! I’ll be emailing you for your address, and I’ll send out your prize ASAP once I get it! Hope you’ve got some PB lovers in your household . . .
Thanks to everyone who entered. I really enjoyed reading all of your responses to the prompt phrase! Don’t forget you can still enter the Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest and the Moms Voice Their Choice contests through November 14th!!!
With every new school year your child is one year closer to college. Have you thought about how you’re going to pay for it?
Here’s an idea – spend an afternoon with your child creating a unique and tasty peanut butter sandwich and enter it in the Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest. It’s an annual contest for kids ages 6-12 with an awesome prize, a $25,000 college scholarship!
Moms, you might also be interested in entering the Moms Voice Their Choice contest. Just write an essay about the choices that you make for your family! You could win:

Congrats to Lauren S., the lucky winner of a Flip Digital Video Camera!!! Lauren, I sent you an email, so please reply with your shipping information to claim your prize.
Thanks to all that entered, and a special thanks to those that subscribed to my blog! I’ve got several more giveaways in the works, so check back for those, and don’t forget to check out my new Giveaway Gathering for some great giveaways currently being hosted by my readers!!!
Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out my first-ever vlog attempt on frugal baby and toddler feeding, so you’ve seen the Flip in action! The quality of the video far exceeded my expectations, and it is SO simple to use.
I was really kind of nervous about doing a video. “You, uh, want me to do what? Put myself on display in a series of videos in front of all my readers? Um . . . okay.” But I had a great time learning how to use my Flip and playing around with Windows Movie Maker. Now that I’ve got one done and relaxed a little, I’m really looking forward to my next vlog!
So how would you like to have one of these fabulous little gadgets for your very own? Courtesy of Walmart and Pure Digital, I have one Flip Digital Video Camera in my hot little hands for one lucky reader to win! You could even use it to win a year’s worth of groceries by submitting your best money-saving tips on video to the Walmart channel on YouTube. I would be SO thrilled if one of my readers won the groceries!!!
Every reader has three methods available to enter this contest. Choose any combination of one, two, or three, for up to a total of 3 entries!!!
1. Leave a comment telling me the best money-saving method or tip that you’ve actually used recently. Make sure that I have some way to get in touch with you if you are the winner.

My kids are messy . . . really messy. The amount of crumbs that amass under my kitchen table through three meals a day, plus throw in a snack or two, well, it’s just astounding. And I must confess, I really hate sweeping. It’s just darn near impossible to make a nice neat pile of dust, dirt, and whatever morsels the kids have dropped with the five of them and two Italian Greyhounds running around.
That’s where my Swiffer Sweeper+Vac comes to the rescue. I really, really, really, REALLY love this thing. It makes cleaning up their messes a breeze – well, as long as I remember to plug it back in to recharge it after using it that is. I don’t mind giving the kitchen floor a quick once over with this several times a day.
It’s quick, easy, and there’s no messy dustpans to deal with. You just open the little compartment that collects the dirt, dump it, and put it back. Every few days I change the cloth, and I’m good to go! BTW, I’ve got some great frugal tips for saving money on those cloths, but we’ll get to those another day.
You can pick one of these up at your local Walmart, Target, or KMart, just to name a few, and right now, you can get a $5 coupon by signing up to receive Swiffer promotions. Come on – join me in my infatuation!
