Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway.

I was reading through my feeds this morning, with an article completely planned out when-WHAM-I came across it. A mention of the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway on The Homespun Heart.

Free Stuff! I LOVE Free Stuff! What fun!

There went my carefully crafted plans for today’s post (Christmas in July anyone?), because this week Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer is organizing a blogosphere wide giveaway week. She is compiling a master list of all the various give aways on her site. On her site you can find an explanation of the giveaway and a list of guidelines.

So of course, I had to get in on it. Here are my offerings, and how they relate to frugality:

A set of cute note cards I picked up at the dollar store on Friday that say “Cheep-Skate” on them. Ha-ha-ha! If the picture was open source, I’d make that my logo, it’s just too cute.

A copy of “Living more with Less” by Doris Janzen Longacre. This is a Mennonite book a, companion to the “More with Less” cookbook if you’ve ever looked at that (another interesting read). Although published in 1980, it still has lots of information that is relevant to frugality. I picked this up at a yard sale for about $.50.

A brand new (still stiff, tags on it) small felt tote from Victoria Secret. I also thrifted this item several years ago. According to the tags, it was originally the container for a gift set. (Taken from my gift box)

A brand new pair of Old Navy women’s socks with little snowmen on them. (Given to me for free-taken from my gift box)

And last but not least, two metal star burst votive candle holders that I bought at a deep discount (pennies really) in a post Christmas sale several years back. (Taken from my gift box)

For a chance to win all this lovely free goodness, all you have to do is post a “Reader’s Question”* for me in the comments section of this post. On Friday, July 27th at 8am I will draw a winner from those comments. Then I will post the winner and answer the readers question (well, if it takes a lot of research the question may have to be answered on Monday). The rest of the readers questions will be addressed over time.

Don’t forget to head on over to Rocks in My Dryer to check out all the other wonderful giveaways. There are sure to be hundreds, her blog is popular. Good Luck!!!!

*A “Reader’s Question” should be something related to frugality or this blog. “Why is the sky blue” really wouldn’t count “Where can I find washing soda?” for example or “How can I save money on a little girls birthday party?”. –I’ve already answered both of those questions on this blog previously BTW, so no fair reusing them!
