How does an extra $50 to stretch your Christmas budget sound?
I know for many of us it would be a true blessing right now. Well, you’re in luck, because I’ve got one $50 Walmart gift card up for grabs today that will arrive just in time to do some Christmas shopping!
So how can you win this?
If you’re anything like me, I’m sure if you won this $50 GC, you’d end up spending it on anyone BUT yourself. So just for a minute I’d like you to pretend that you have no other obligations and can use this money to buy yourself a little something special. I think as mom we often overlook treating ourselves, so I’d like to hear what you’d buy if you were the winner. Resources for ideas are the Walmart website and the 2008 Holiday Entertaining Guide. Of course, if you’re the winner you can use the gift certificate to purchase anything you want.
Every reader has four methods available to enter this contest. Choose one each of any combination of method one, two, three, or four, for up to a total of 4 entries!!!
1. Leave a comment sharing what you would purchase if you were to spend the money on yourself only!
2. Take just 2 seconds to click over to The Coupon Cupboard to vote for Deal Seeking Mom as your favorite deals blog. Make sure to come back and leave a separate comment letting me know you voted! (This option is only available through Sunday, November 23rd, at 8:00 p.m., EST.)
3. Subscribe to my feed via RSS or email and leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so. If you’re already a subscriber, simply leave a separate comment letting me know you’re already subscribed. Lovin’ my subscribers! You guys make this all possible.
4. Spread the word about this contest in some manner and come back and leave a link in a separate comment. 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!
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 $50 Walmart Gift Certificate
This giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, November 24th. I’ll use Random.org to generate a number that corresponds with the winning comment number and post the winner on Tuesday, November 25th. Good luck!

I would buy pajamas for myself. They seem so indulgent to me. That’s probably my frugalness that says just sleep in a t-shirt. But pajamas can make you feel sexy or cozy or whatever mood you want that evening.

I’m probably the last person in the world without an Ipod, but I would love to have one. So many great podcasts that I would love to listen to each day.

I went to vote and it said I already had so I don’t know if this entry counts. I actually think I linked to the couponcupbard site through someone elses blog, but then saw your site and voted for you instead of them. You really are my fav, I went to my local CVS and was talking to another lady, whom I’ve never met before, about how to save the most money on batteries and Glade this week and we both read your site, how cool and random!

I would buy myself something pretty. Not something that matches with ten other things in my closet, but something pretty that only matches one other thing, like a pretty sweater, top or a really bright scarf. Also, maybe the newest paperback book that i could read in a couple of day without feeling guility that I didnt go to the library. Thankyou so much for this chance at the give-away.

I love your blog, it always gives us great ideas for saving money – especially when you go through the fliers for us! :D
$50…..quite a bit to spend. Sadly, Wal-Mart got rid of most of their craft department, but I’d probably still peruse that section for scrapbooking supplies, and then I’d pick up a DVD or two for movie night.
