Share your tip to win a $500 Walmart GC!
Nickelodeon, the company that brings your kids Nick, Nick Jr., and Noggin, is sponsoring a Holiday Money-Saving Tip contest. They’re enlisting Walmart’s Eleven Moms to run the contest, so you can enter right here at Being Frugal.net (as well as on the other Eleven Moms blogs) The prize? A $500 Walmart gift card!
Since this is such a big prize, you’re going to have to put a little effort into your contest entry. But what’s a little effort for a chance at a $500 Walmart gift card? That would buy me groceries for more than a month! Your tip might even be featured on www.elevenmoms.com!
Here’s what you have to do to enter:
- Write (or Vlog) a post about your single best money saving tip. I don’t want a post listing all your tips, just your very best one.
- Mention the contest and Nickelodeon in your post. I’d like to give Nickelodeon a mention, since they’re donating such a great prize!
- Link back to this post, so others can find the contest, too.
- Sign the Mister Linky with the permalink to your Holiday Money-Saving Tip, so we can all find it.
- If you don’t have a blog, and only if you don’t have a blog, leave your money saving tip in the comments section.
This contest will remain open until Monday, December 15 at 12 noon, PST. At that time I will close the contest to entries. The judges will pick the 10 best entries, based on how much money you can save by using the tip, how practical the tip is for everyday people, and the creativity of the post or comment. A random winner will be chosen from the 10 best tips as the winner of the $500 Walmart gift card.
Feel free to publicize this contest and the voting on Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, or anywhere else!
I will email the winner on Monday night (the 15th), and the winner will have 24 hours to get in touch with me with a shipping address, so make sure you have a way for me to contact you on your blog or in the comments (putting a valid email address in the comment form works just fine…you don’t need your email address in the actual body of the comment). The winner will be announced right here and on the Eleven Moms site on December 17.
Have fun, get creative, and good luck!

Coupons will help with the budget, Make a list and stick to it. Buy only what is necessary. Give homemade gifts to family and friends
My best tip would be to teach your children to value old fashion hard work instead of commercialized Fads. Have them make their own christmas cards and tree decorations. If you have a Gift exchange amongst adult, have it a NO BUY rule… you have to make it with your own hands!
I’m sure that’s not the kind of tip your looking for especially in this day and age!
Also, I make a list of whom I need to buy for IN JANUARY, then throughout the year I buy items on clearance and/or with coupons. Stick to the list. Do not impulse buy! My wallet does not know what retail means because I refuse to purchase gifts at retail. I’m not a scrooge…really. It’s just that when your bring home pay is less than 1,000 per month you stretch where and when you can.
Same goes for decorations, those that we don’t make, we purchase AFTER the holidays and put them away for the following year.
Stockpile items with coupons so you are buying them at about 90% OFF. Purchasing a case of ketchup, mayo, beans, whatever… will keep you from paying full price throughout the rest of the year! One time I bought 9 PALLETS of toilet paper (15 four packs to a pallet) because I had a coupon that made them free. We gave 1 pallet to the food pantry, divided 1 pallet up among friends & family and the rest we kept. It last 2 years!
Thanks

For the past several years we’ve decorated an 8 ft ficus tree and only buy ornaments after the holidays at 75% off. We have a lovely tree and have saved hundreds of dollars.
