"Pamper Your Face" Giveaway

Well, as promised, we are having a giveaway. At this point we can only offer this giveaway to people in the Rockford area who can either pick it up or to whom we can bring it. When our blog starts making us some money (haha!) then we might be able to afford the postage for these! And if we ever have "online" giveaways (codes for free stuff) or gift cards (only needs a stamp), then of course everyone from all over is welcome to participate.

Alright - now for the good stuff. This giveaway is called "Pamper Your Face." It includes the following:

- L'Oréal Age Perfect Pro-Calcium Sheer Tint Moisturizer (medium)
- L'Oréal Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Gel Cleanser
- Almay Black lengthening one coat nourishing mascara (hypoallergenic)
- Revlon Goldpearl Plum Super Lustrous Lipstick

Of course, all of it is brand new in package!

Here's how to participate: you can get an "entry" by doing each of the following (so a possibility of at least 3 entries!):

1) Leave us a comment on this post and tell us what else you would like to see posted on this site - give us ideas! One entry

2) Tell your friends about this site and have them participate. When they leave a comment on this post, be sure to have them write "so-and-so referred me". That gets YOU one more entry per person you refer. One (or more) entry

3) Sign up to receive our posts via email (see right side) - don't worry, your inbox won't get flooded with emails. You'll just get an email when we post something on the blog - that way you won't even have to remember to check the blog (unless, of course, you want to see what the newest poll is, or what is in our pinch-a-penny store!). One entry!

On Monday, we will randomly pick a name (there is a website that will do that for us) and post the winner's name on our blog (see, that's why you should sign up to get the emails - you won't have to remember to check on Monday!). We'll then ask the winner to email us with their name and email address so we can get the prize to her. So be sure to check on Monday: you could be our winner!

And PLEASE participate even if you think you won't use some of it. You can either pass on the extras to someone else who can, or you can just choose to only take what you will use! Please help make this first giveaway fun and full! :)

(Please do not participate if you just plan on selling it ALL on e-bay or at a yard sale. We want these giveaways to bless someone who is going to enjoy it or to someone who will give it away to bless someone else. Thank you for understanding).

Well, sign me up!! I would love to see saving news like Bergners or Macy's ect have coupons out, ie last week if you wore RED to Macy's on a certain day you got a 20% off coupon for all day. Bath & Body also have changed their labels on their signiture bath products and want to get rid of the old and are selling them for $5 a bottle vs $12 - and they have a 75% off section of select items.

ooo--thanks for that info, Jen, i just might pop in there this afternoon. Anouk--I think this is great--keep it up--it'll get off the ground eventually!

Well - since you ladies asked so very kindly for suggestions I will step outside of the box and offer mine!

I would like to know more about child friendly events happening in the Rockford/Chicago area from week to week. This is obviously not related to penny pinching but it would be a huge help to have a "one stop shop" to find out what we can do for fun!

Just a thought. I'm so grateful for the super deals I've already learned about from you. Keep up the great hunting!!

Thanks for doing the work for us, ladies!! I love great deals, but don't often take the time to find out about them! I will be reading!

This sounds great! I can't wait to explore. I'd love a "deal of the week" post. Ya know something that lets us know about great deals at local stores-Valli produce, Target, etc. Can't wait to check it out more.

Hi Anouk and Kristie!! Thanks so much for offering a free giveaway. I subscribed to your blog immediately on my bloglines feed, but I'll sign up for an extra entry. :-) I appreciate the work you put into this and have already done my best to take advantage of some of the deals. No suggestions...just keep up the good work. It's nice to have links to find coupons that I actually can use - I get the newspaper coupons sometimes from my grandma, but they're not always for things I use. It's fun to be able to actually pick the coupons.
