The winner of the Target gift card giveaway is Jay.

Here’s what Jay had to say about bargains at Target:
I do have a lot of fun in the dollar section where we have found wonderful things for favor bags for kids birthday! Curious George, Lightning McQueen, etc.

Hopefully Jay will come back and share some new bargains from the gift card win! Congrats again Jay!

Thanks to all of you for reading my blog, for entering the giveaway, and for sharing your Target finds and tips. I actually learned a lot and got some great ideas for saving in the future!

It’s Freebie Friday: $10 Target gift card giveaway

March 20, 2009 by


It’s Freebie Friday again! If you’ve been reading my blog for long, you know that I have been doing a gift card giveaway each month. It’s hard for me to believe that another month has gone by already! I got so many great savings ideas from the comments on the giveaway post last month that I decided to do another Target gift card giveaway. If you shop at Target, you know that even $10 can go a long way if you use coupons!

The giveaway will run from now until 11:59 PM (PST) on Friday, 3/27/09. I will announce the winner on Saturday, 3/28/09. (The winner will be randomly selected using random.org)

You can enter up to four times. Here are the ways that you can enter:

1. Post a comment telling me about some of your “favorite” Target bargains.

2. Sign up to follow my blog (if you are already following my blog, you automatically get an entry!) or subscribe to my blog (if you subscribe, please post a comment to let me know that you have subscribed).

3. Sign up to follow me on Twitter (if you already follow me, you’re entered!)

4. Create a post on your blog letting others know about the giveaway and link back to my blog. Be sure to comment here with a link to your post!

Please create a separate post for each of your entries. If you win, you need to provide me with some way to contact you. If your profile is public with a link to your blog, that works. Otherwise, watch the blog closely on Saturday, 3/28 for me to post the winner.

(If you post a comment as “anonymous” you need to include some sort of identifying information or your entry will not be valid)

Good luck!

Shannon said…
I just love Target! I’ve gotten so many deals from there I’m not sure I have a favorite. Free is always my most favorite though…

Using coupons and her gift card, Shannon should be able to get LOTS of free stuff at Target! Hopefully she’ll come and share what she got with us.

Congrats again Shannon.

Another great giveaway: Win a free bag from Olive Juice bags!

February 26, 2009 by

Summer is just around the corner so many of you are probably on the hunt for a fun, new bag! Olive Juice Bags has a Bag-of-the-Month giveaway, and you can get the scoop on how to enter to win here.

Entering is easy. All you have to do is blog about the contest on your personal or professional blog. Each separate blog entry will count as an entry into their contest. You will need to send the link with your posting (you can enter once per day) to olivejuicebags@comcast.net and you’ll be entered to win the Olive Juice Bag of the Month. The contest extends through 8/31/09. Six winners total will be chosen (one per month) and will be contacted by e-mail. There are so many cute bags and you can check them all out here. Don’t forget to sign up for their newsletter to get a heads up on discounts and other promotions.

If you are not familiar with Olive Juice Bags, they are a manufacturer of funky affordable fabric bags. Each bag is hand made in the USA and is eco-friendly because they uuse overrun fabric to keep it from being thrown away. Repurposing the fabric into a functional and fashionable product means less waste in the landfills. Because of this, many of the bags are unique: five-of-a kind, two-of-a kind or even one-of-a kind.

If you see an Olive Juice Bag you like, snag it quickly because you may not see the same bag ever again. Olive Juice Bags is also a socially conscious company that supports real-wage jobs. Local families benefit from jobs provided by companies that manufacture in the US– and Olive Juice Bags is one of them.

Good luck!
