The contest starts on 3 October. To enter, you simply submit a money saving tip. The kicker? It’s got to be in video format.
All of the entries will be voted on by the public on Walmart’s YouTube Channel-the highest rated video wins the groceries!

2. Do you have friends? Yes, most of us have one or two. Start asking around. One of them may have either a digital video camera or else a regular camera that takes video. If you ask very nicely they might loan it to you, or even better, come over and film you!
3. Do you belong to any organizations? Your church or civic group may have a video camera that you can use.
And last but not least, you could WIN one. Alyssa of Keeping the Kingdom First just started her giveaway the day before yesterday. Enter to win a Flip video camera.
Most computers now come with movie maker loaded, but if yours doesn’t it is available for free from Microsoft. You can download Microsoft Movie Maker here. There are also lots of good tips on how to use it on the “How to use” page.
