I am usually somewhat skeptical of my chances of winning an online contest - how many hundreds of thousands of people actually enter these things?? But, last year I won a $50 starbucks card (WHICH I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee) from the Dr. Oz Christmas giveaway. So, given the fact that I have won before - I am hopeful that I might win a contest again. You never know & the way I look at it - I am blessed either way.
This is a running list for me to keep organized of the various contests that are going on right now...

Blue Nile Jewelry Giveaway: giveaway is through Facebook and it ends 12.7
Lara Bar: Giveaway ends on 12/31

Great savings...
I am all about getting a good deal. One of the best places that I have found to be a good deal for my children's clothes is when there is a sale at the local clothing resale shop (that is if you aren't opposed to your children wearing previously owned clothing).
Our local shop - Once Upon a Child has a sale a few times a year. It starts off as 50% off... which isn't bad, but honestly I can still get stuff on occasion at Gymboree with a coupon and a sale for that price. I wait until it dips lower. When they have their $1 sale, I head in.
Also, there is a company online that is now selling children's clothing on the cheap... It is called Thred Up, and you can get a $10 credit for using the link that I supplied.
Happy Shopping... and more later on how I get $3 shirts at Gymboree :)

Being in debt sucks.
Being in debt really stinks... I have this horrible feeling hanging over me all the time. Even when I am spending money on something that I need for our family, I feel guilty. Anyone else feel that way?
And, people who say that school loans are not bad debt to have... I disagree, debt is debt and it sucks.
