$100 Gift Card Giveaway

One of the most fantastic things about being one of the Walmart Elevenmoms is that people keep giving me things. Things I get to give away to all of you!

It makes me feel like Santa Claus.

Especially this year when times are so tight!

Walmart has come through with another wonderful giveaway. Each of the Eleven Moms was offered the chance to give away an item, up to $100, from the latest Walmart Holiday Gift Guide.

I’ve got to say, there is some fabulous stuff in there! Many, many items that personally I would love to get. But the stress of deciding what YOU might want to get was a little much, you know, on top of my own holiday decorating, cooking, shopping and the ever present threat of Christmas cards that need to be written. . . .

So I took the chicken way out. The second option was that instead of picking a gift, we could just offer a gift card and let you pick out whatever you wanted at your own local Walmart.

Heck, I figured that way I can’t go wrong!

I decided to do this one a bit differently:

This time you have to search through my archives (yes, there is a little archive button up there at the top you can click) and find an older article you think is interesting.

Then you have to comment, linking to the post and telling me why you chose it.

DOUBLE WHAMMY HERE FOLKS-YOU CAN NOT PICK A POST SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY HAS PICKED.

So you need to check the other comments first-or your entry WILL NOT COUNT. I mean it, I’m going to be heartless. It’s not fair to the folks who follow the directions.

This contest runs from today, Tuesday December 2nd to Saturday December 6th at midnight.

OK. Begin!

    I new to blogging so I’m not sure how to link. I really like your post on organizing computer files. This post helped me organize and declutter my desk top. The post date is 1-22-08 and the title is Organizing Your Computer Files.
    I am enjoying many of your past posts. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    This was a difficult decision to narrow down because you have one of the most informative sites on the web about saving $$. I really love the Gift Box aka How to Avoid Last Minute Runs to The Toy Store:
    http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2006/04/gift-box-aka-how-to-avoid-last-minute.html
    I like to look at the Clearance endcaps at Target, Walmart & kMart for good deals and I stash them away in a chest in my bedroom closet. We have 5 kids who are always being invited to parties. Right now, I am pulling things out to donate to the Toys for Tots and Angel Tree donations. Its a great idea! Thanks for the entry!

    Okay, I have to say that while I loved this post (the first one I ever read!) I liked how you linked to other bloggers about frugal subversivity….some good links that led me to making some good changes in my life.

    but my favorite blog is THIS ONE! Yeah, I didn’t know if I could count it, so I went back to the first one I read. But this is great because I read through 65 comments and got distracted a few times because I had to look up a post that sounded facinating!

    Keep up the amazing motivation and inspiration!

    I like the post "25 things that I do that DON'T save money-and Why posted October 13,2006. It neat to see the areas that people are frugal & where they spend for quality or because time is worth more than the cost. Mrs.Clark

    Yeah! No one has chosen the one I like.

    http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2008/06/frugal-food-part-three-beans.html

    I loved all the parts of the frugal food series, it has come in handy in the past few months as food prices continue to rise. I especially love the beans one! It inspired me to try more bean recipes and – hang on to your hats – my family actually likes them! So now I’m making even more bean recipes, good for our health and our wallet!

    I especially liked the tip of soaking and cooking and then freezing. I do this all the time now and I LOVE IT!

    Thanks!

    I really liked Avoid the Take-out- and drive thru Trap!
    frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2008/10/avoid-take-out-and-drive-thru-trap.html

    Being a part of a family of 7, it is easy to get caught in that trap and it cost a lot. All the reciepes and ideas you offered are easy and quick. thank you so much for all you do on your blog.

    I hope I did not choose one that someone else did. I was reading thru the other post while my very demanding 2 year old was wanting something. What’s new?

    Hi,

    These noodles sounded delicious to me when I was pregnant last year and I’ve made them many times since when I get the particular craving. Delish!
    Merry Christas to you!

    I liked your blog from Sunday, July 16th, 2006 Gardening-Frugal or not? because I still can’t figure out if I am saving any money by gardening.

    http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2008/10/more-on-how-to-can-venison-at-home.html

    I liked this article because we’re traveling to my folks’ place for Christmas and I was trying to figure out how to bring venison meat back through five states easily. This will be a fun project for 3 generations to do together!

    It was a totally lucky archive hit because I looked up my birthday and found an answer to an on-going issue!

    Thanks! HotMommy

    Although I’m becoming addicted to this site, the link above is my favorite because it was a tremendous help in planning my daughter’s 7th birthday party (and the first time I discovered this site). The ideas were great from the printable party invitations/favors to the games – not to mention I saved quite a bit of money! The cake was a hit although Hannah took out the back side of the cake 😉 The girls (even dad) had fun pinning the microphone on Hannah Montana (a framed poster that we used as a gift for Samantha’s room). I’m just wondering what kind of party Princess will have next year and hope you post the details again!! This was a great idea as I’m discovering more new tips (and I found the recipe for your beer bread – Yes, I think I paid over $5 for the mix!!) Thanks for your time and all your awesome posts!!

    Well, I’m 18 at the moment, so I picked one from May of 06, for my “sweet sixteen”. I actually chose May 29, the day before my birthday for this post:

    http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2006/05/some-gave-all.html

    I think it’s a great post and obviously it’s very important to remember those that died for our country, especially nowadays when people are still dying. It hits home a bit more just b/c my brother is planning on joining the army and it’s a bit scary for me…I definitely don’t want anything to happen to him.

    I really like the idea about the playsilks. This will be great to do in kids ministry. I believe this will inspire the imagination of those who are young at heart. Thanks for the opportunity to win the gift card.

    Hi Jen!

    I love many, many of your posts and have finally had time to go through all the picks and pick one that didn’t get done already! The exciting thing is its one of the ones I commented on 🙂

    http://frugalupstate.blogspot.com/2008/07/frugal-food-part-five-chicken-whole-and.html

    I loved the entire frugal food series…some new recipies joined our collection! The chicken one was close to my heart because I used to live about 3 minutes away from Tower Chicken, which is the photo you posted!

    I love your blog and am excited to enter the contest. Who couldn’t use a Wal-mart card this time of year? 🙂

    Thanks,
