October Family Feasts Giveaway
—FAMILY FEASTS GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED. THANKS, EVERYONE!—
I’m excited to tell you about two giveaways I’m doing this month. The first one is a Cheer laundry detergent giveaway! Who couldn’t use free laundry soap? Click on over there and tell me how you brighten the lives of the people around you, and you’ll be eligible to win a free bottle of Cheer.
(NOTE: If you commented on the Cheer giveaway in the early hours of Monday, you might need to go back and comment again. I made an error and had to delete the first post and repost it in a different location on my blog. Sorry!)
The second giveaway is fun too! I’m giving away three sets of THREE copies each of my book Family Feasts for $75 a Week. Be one of the three winners of this giveaway, and you’ll have a copy of the cookbook for yourself, PLUS two copies to give away to friends. (Christmas gifts, maybe???)
You can get up to 5 entries to the Family Feasts giveaway by doing any of the following 5 things:
1. Blog about the contest and share a direct link to your post in comments.
2. Twitter about it, and share a link to your twitter in comments.
3. Request that your local library purchase FAMILY FEASTS, and tell me which library it is.
4. If you’ve already read FAMILY FEASTS, post a review of the book on amazon.com or bn.com.
5. Mention the contest on your Facebook page.
I’ll be picking 3 winners using random.org. Be sure to comment using a valid email address. The contest ends Monday morning, October 26th! I hope to hear from lots of you!






It is here on Facebook as well, although you may need to friend me to see it.

First time to your blog! I posted about the contest on Facebook and included a link.
I actually discovered your blog yesterday and already went out and bought your book. I’ve got a long way to go, so can’t review yet but would love more copies to share with friends and family! http://twitter.com/bemmett
I would love to read your book. I’m trying my best to keep our family to a food budget right now around $300 a month or less. For a family of four, I still have to watch very closely what I buy and sometimes go over.
I found your blog yesterday also and loved it! Also enjoyed reading your husband’s blog.

I found your blog yesterday and just loved reading through it. As a new adoptive mother of two and someone who tries very carefully to be frugal, I really enjoyed reading through many, many posts on your blog. I also really liked your husband’s blog.

No blog or Twitter here, but I emailed my library, Atwater Public in Atwater, MN and posted it to my facebook. I also sent a friend request. Love your ideas!

I’m going to put this on FB – I’d love to win the cookbooks & give one to each of my kids – between them I have 7 grandkids – they could learn how to feed them on $75/wk
I will totally tell my library to get a copy. Douglas County Library in Roseburg, OR.
I featured the cookbook giveaway and blogged about it on my website…www.tidytightwads.com
I posted a “tweet” on my Twitter account about the cookbook giveaway.
I sent an e-mail to my local library, Hutchinson, MN through the Pioneerland Public Library System asking them to request your cookbook as a resource to check out.
I made a post on my personal FB account to check out your site and register for the cookbook.
I made a post on my Tidy Tightwads FB page about the cookbook. I am excited about this cookbook as I teach OAMC classes-actually have one tomorrow night and I will refer my students to your cookbook.
I am a librarian at Harrisburg District Library in Harrisburg, IL. I have added your book “Family Feasts for $75 a Week” to our October Book order. I would love to have my own personal copy of your book as I found the blurbs interesting (which is why I added to the library’s book order). Please enter me in your book give away.
Thanks!
Just entering with a comment (I hope). I’m reading the library copy and loving it, but I’d love to have one for myself and my daughters! Thanks for the neat giveaway of three copies each!
