UPDATE: This giveaway has now ended!
I have an amazing Christmas giveaway to tell all of you about, but first I want to let each of you know how much you're appreciated! I started this blog for friends and family in the spring of 2008 and since then my blog has grown and grown.. and grown! I cannot believe all the amazing readers I have. This blog would honestly NOT be possible without each and every one of you!
This year has been one of the best years of my life! I have three amazing kids, one amazing husband and so many amazing friends (that's all of you)! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
I really wish there was a way to express the gratitude I feel towards each of you, so this is where my giveaway comes in. First, let me say, I wish I could hand deliver a gift to every one of you, but that's just not possible... so instead I'm giving 20 of you one incredible gift!
I am giving 20 of my wonderful readers $100 to spend on Amazon.com... yes, $100! There are 2 rules to this giveaway--the first rule, you can only purchase items that qualify for Super Saver Shipping or Amazon Prime. And the other rule, $50 of the $100 dollars you get will be spent on toys of your choice to donate to Toys For Tots. The other $50 will go towards any item/items you want. You could get something for yourself, your hubby, your kids or anyone else!
This will be a 24 hour giveaway and I will announce the 20 winners tomorrow, 12/17 at 6pm EST! The 20 winners will then get to choose the $50 worth of toys they'd like to donate to Toys For Tots. All the toys will be shipped to me and then on one of my upcoming "Follow Me Monday" videos, you'll get to see me donate $1000 worth of toys! The winners will also email me what they'd like to get with the other $50. I will have these items shipped directly to them and they will receive them before Christmas! More details to come once the winners are announced.
Alright, so are you ready to enter?
Just let us know what you are thankful for this year, then leave your first name and tell us where you're from (city/state).
Want another entry?
Subscribe to my email updates or RSS Feed and let me know by leaving a separate comment. You can also leave an additional comment if you are already a subscriber!
Want a third entry?
Leave a separate comment letting me know how you found my blog and how long you've been reading it!
NEW UPDATE: To enter the giveaway, leave all your comments below. Do NOT email me. Thank you!
**Please remember, I will announce the winners at 6pm EST on 12/17 (tomorrow). If you see that you are a winner, you will need to email me directly (hip2savexmasgiveaway@yahoo.com), so that I can get your contact info and Amazon.com order. I will NOT be emailing the winners.
GOOD LUCK!

On September 26th, 1 day before my daughter's 3rd Birthday, our yellow Lab Bogey was diagnosed with Lymphomia Cancer. It was in the last stages. The Vet said we have about 6-8 weeks if we keep him on the steroids. It's been those 8 weeks, so Bogey is on borrowed time. I am soo thankful that we have him still in our lives. I am thankful in the future that he will be able to see Kaitlyn open her presents Xmas morning. He is and always will be our 1st born child.
ps. I subscribe and I heard about your site from a co worker.

Jennifer at 4:42 - I TOTALLY agree with you!! We have had major set backs and struggles this year too but I am so grateful for the experience as it has taught me so much about myself. God really does have a plan and we have to be patient enough to see that everything has a way of working out. Through this site I have learned how to be so savvy with my limited budget. Now that we are entering a bit of an upswing, I am keeping all of my new habits - it is so fun to save and give back!

I am so thankful that my mom is finally doing better, i would be so lost without her phone calls, comfort, baking advice, tips on how to get the stain out of the bathtub, and her love. Her warmth spills over to the rest of our family and I am so grateful that her health is on the upswing. I am grateful too just to be here, with a computer and strangers who are willing to take their own time to help us stretch our paycheck.
thanks for all you do for us!

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this blog. I actually found out about it from my favorite Walgreens cashier!!! She really helped me start getting into the Walgreens part of coupon shopping and with all the great detailed lists and links you provide, it makes my life so much easier. My husband has been laid off since Feb. and we have 2 girls ages 2 and 3 so saving money is very important especially since I am a stay at home mom. Thank you again for all the hard work you do and give to others.

I am so thankful that through this year my blessings were many, my losses were minimal, my children are thriving and loved, my husband adores me, my family is all around me, and I have been able to bless others with the amazing deals that I have gotten on food, clothes, and toys. I have been able to help the hungry, clothe the needy, and bring smiles to children and mothers that didnt think that they would be able to make end meet. God gave me a gift that I could share. There is nothing better than my life right now
