October Family Feasts Giveaway

October 5, 2009

—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!

Share and Enjoy:

katherine on October 10, 2009 at 7:33 pm

i just requested your book at our library — the Dallas Public Library in dallas, texas.

Leslie Becker on October 10, 2009 at 10:13 pm

I just wrote about your giveaway on my facebook page. I read an article that you wrote in All You Magazine. It mentioned your book. I looked at the Nashville Public Library (Nashville, Tennessee) website and it is on order. Although I would like to check it out in an effort to save money, I would love to have my own copy. I read some of the page entries on Amazon. I look forward to reading more.

I’m so excited!! I was browsing this book at Barnes and Noble on Saturday night, wrote down your website and am so glad I found it! Even if I don’t win (but I would LOVE to) I’m still going to buy the book for myself.

Jenn on October 12, 2009 at 1:18 pm

This books sounds really great!

Val M. on October 13, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Please enter me in the contest.

Susan on October 14, 2009 at 7:48 am

I requested a copy of your book from my library, and they purchased it! Natchitoches Parish Library: http://www.youseemore.com/natchitoches/

Thanks!

Megan on October 14, 2009 at 10:41 am

I would love a copy of your book. I struggle to feed our small family and not go broke doing it.

Shawn on October 14, 2009 at 12:20 pm

Okay, I requested that my library buy your book. (Bayfield, WI public library) I would love to win your book, since I can’t afford it right now. Although our total food budget, including dog and cat and household supplies, is already squeezed down to $60-70 per week for the four of us (2 adults, 2 teens), I know I could find even more ways to cut it down in your book. My goal is to get it down another $30 per month so I can afford to have the crazy horses feet clipped and have the septic tank pumped on time! Oh, what goals we have in life!!

Vicki Arnold on October 14, 2009 at 6:18 pm

My library already has it, the Cincinnati library system. I’m on the list to get it.

I also posted to my Facebook friends. My profile is set to private, so I don’t think a link would work.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I would so like to have a chance to read your cookbook. Unfortunately, not one library in our entire system locally has the book yet. So I’ve utilized the “Suggest a Purchase” option on the library website (CLAMS, which is the Cape Cod, MA system) to hopefully get your book out there and available to those of us forever trying to find new ways to tweak the family food budget.

Laura on October 16, 2009 at 7:54 pm

I just found out about your book, Family Feasts for $75 a Week on another blog today and thought I would head over to check out your blog. I can’t believe you are hosting a giveaway this month for your book!!! Thank you! I just posted about this on my blog~ http://simpleordinarylives.blogspot.com/2009/10/book-giveaway-on-owlhaven-blog.html

I would love to be a lucky winner as I have six children and we are expecting baby number seven in April! We are praising God and crunching numbers all at the same time

Enjoy your weekend,
Laura

Deanna on October 17, 2009 at 6:24 am

I would love to win as well. We have 6 children. My dear friend, Laura, told us about your giveaway. BTW Laura, Congrats!!! I didn’t know! (but was wondering)
