So it has been some time since we have had a giveaway here on our site. Well, now is the time! We are getting ready to start a new monthly theme and this theme is all about Thrifty Christmas, but it is going to be starting in mid-October and last until mid-December.
This will be really fun as we are going to share a little bit of everything to help you have a smooth, beautiful, memorable and thrifty Christmas season. To do that, we are going to share Do-It-Yourself Christmas presents, downloads to help you plan and make the process smoother, recipes, articles and a gift section that will be gifts as super deals from $15 and under and over $15 categories – but all of which are deeply discounted and great values.
We will share more in some later articles, but we did want to mention that when we were paying off our $100,000 in consumer debt, we still had wonderful and sweet Christmases, just for a very thrifty price tag. Believe it or not, but our gift budget was $10 per person and very little on the food, decor and events throughout the rest of the season. We will share later what we spend now and ideas on how to set and stick to a Christmas budget, but for now, we want to get this Thrifty Christmas Party started by giving away cold hard cash! $300 of it in fact!
What we thought would be the best to try and bless several for this $300 cash giveaway and so with that – six winners will each get $50 in cash! This giveaway is during the rest of October, and so you will receive your $50 cash in the first part of November to help contribute to your thrifty holiday plans.
The cool part here is that you will be able to enter everyday as well for extra entries and to better your chances of winning!
Here’s how you can get extra entries everyday:
- By sharing our site in your social circles and let others know about our site and our monthly themes, savings and posts we offer.
- By helping others in need as well by voting for a Charity in The Give for that charity to win $50,000.
Here’s how #2 Works – We shared a couple of week’s ago how a charity that we are not affiliated with, but that we love and that we chosen to provide some financial support from proceeds from our site here is The Morning Center. In short, this is a charity that provides free maternity care to mothers and their babies and they currently operate “mobile units” to allow underprivileged women to receive free first-class care on-site. This is a beautiful and wonderful way to give to these women. Well, The Morning Center has even bigger plans to build and operate actual brick and mortar maternity hospitals too and they are raising funds now to build the first one. The had an opportunity to join a $50,000 charity giveaway from Cutivate Wines. With that, it is the season of giving and so while we are giving 6 people $50 cash, we encourage you to vote for a charity in The Give (you have to be 21 or older to vote in The Give) and by doing so, we will give you an extra entry in our cash giveaway for each day that you vote.
What a win-win situation! You have another chance towards winning cash and you can help a charity win $50,000 for free just by clicking to vote.
Does this sound fun?!
So here’s the details on how to enter for one of six $50 cash prizes!
So, let’s get this giveaway going. We will be offering this through Wednesday, October 31st 2012 at 11:59 p.m. MST. We have a few ways to enter – but with our form below it will be quick and painless to enter! We will be using Radomizer.org to choose the winner at random.
