24-Hour Giveaway Extravaganza: A little something for everyone
While I usually host giveaways for one particular item at a time, today I'm mixing it up a little bit and doing a 24-Hour Giveaway Extravaganza with 14 different items donated by five different companies/websites:
Giveaway #1: Three copies of Good Housekeeping Good Deals & Smart Steals: How to Save Money on Everything
This handy book offers hundreds
of ideas for getting the best value for your money on every kind of
purchase—from daily goods like groceries, household supplies, and pet care, to
big-ticket items like major appliances, vacations, and cars. This book also showcases new methods to manage your home and personal finances
to stretch your budget farther.
Giveaway #2: One $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble, one $50 gift card to Shoes.com, and one $50 gift card to GAP--courtesy of the Box Tops for Education Marketplace.
The Box Tops for Education Marketplace is an online fundraising program which allows you to earn cash for the school of your choice when you shop online. You can earn up to $20,000 per school per year. When you shop online, you can go to the Box Tops for Education Marketplace, choose your school to support, and then click through to the website you'll be ordering from to earn up to 8 percent of every qualifying purchase back in donations to your chosen school at no additional cost to you.
Box Tops for Education Marketplace has donated three different gift cards to be given away to three different winners here. The $50 gift cards are to Barnes and Noble, Shoes.com, and GAP (this gift card is usable at Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piper lime and Gap's Marketplace online stores).
Giveaway #3: Four boxes of Matisse and Jack's healthful treat mixes.
Looking for healthful treat mixes that contain organic and natural ingredients, whole grains, protein, fiber, and healthy fats? Look no further as Matisse and Jack's has recently introduced a new line of delicious baking mixes which are good for you as well. Their line currently includes Granola Bites, Cocoa Squares, Cranberry Bars, and Power Snacks.
Matisse and Jacks will be giving away one box of your choice of their healthful snack mixes to four different winners.
Giveaway #4: Three 2-gallon holiday popcorn tins from The Popcorn Factory.
The Popcorn Factory offers a variety of fun and delicious popcorn treats--perfect for holiday gifts. And this year, they are offering custom photo labels for many of their products to further personalize their gifts.
Three different readers will win a two-gallon holiday popcorn tin with three varieties of popcorn: all-natural butter, robust Cheese, and caramel corn.
By the way, if you are interested in placing an order from The Popcorn Factory, you can use coupon code BLOG5 to get $5 off any order or BLOG10 to get 10% off any order of any size.
The Bargain Shopper lady recently asked me what my favorite restaurant was. Without hesitation, I said Olive Garden; I just love their bread sticks, salad, lasagna, and cheese ravoli! Well, after hearing that, she not only generously sent me a $25 gift card to Olive Garden, she also sent me an extra one to give away on my blog! Our family enjoyed a wonderful and delicious free dinner compliments of the Bargain Shopper Lady, but now one of you all will get to enjoy a free dinner at Olive Garden as well!
By the way, if you've not checked the Bargain Shopper Lady's blog, be sure to stop by for the latest hot tips on online deals and more!
To enter to win one of these giveaways, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post with your name and email address in the next 24 hours. Winners of the 14 items listed above will be randomly chosen from all the entrants and winner's names will be posted tomorrow.






So nice of you to sponsor so many great things.
