You guys are so sweet. In my teaser post you guessed all these amazing things that I was going to announce like…
I was going to go big like the Pioneer Woman
I was going to be on Oprah
I had signed a book deal
And those are all dreamy things but really, the surprise has nothing to do with me and everything to do with YOU.
One day I was sitting here thinking, “Hmmm, it would be really fun to have a giveaway.” But the more I thought about it I realized that I just don’t have the cash to pony up for a gift and I really wanted it to be something neat. Not just a gift card, or a book, but something that would really bless the socks off the frugal people who are reading this blog.
And then I got an idea. Why not ask if anyone was interested in providing the product for the giveaway. So I drafted up a proposal, picked some of my favorite companies, fired off some e-mails and waited.
And whaddya know? I got some responses. Dang, I was excited. And yep, I have something BIG to giveaway.
The generous people at Keurig decided that they thought it was a great idea and provided a product for the giveaway. And when they told me what they wanted to give you I went over to their site and checked it out. Now Keurig is the maker of this fancy single cup brewing coffee system. We used to have one in our business office for our clients to use, before we moved the office back into the house. It makes one of the BEST cups of coffee ever, as well as tea and hot chocolate. I used to volunteer at Chris’ office just so I could have a cup of Rain forest Vanilla Coffee everyday. (Yeah, I’m a cheap date too.)
But the Keurig company didn’t offer us just ANY coffee pot. It wasn’t one of their low end models. They were really generous and offered us their Platinum Brewer AND 4 boxes of K-cups (coffee pods) to go with it. We are talking a $250 dollar gift guys.
And just so you know, this isn’t some cleverly disguised advertising on my blog that I’m earning a big check for. I’m getting nothing here folks. This is from me, to you…via Keurig.
So here’s the low down to enter and win this amazing Platinum Brewer and 4 boxes of K-cups…
(This is open to U.S. residents only. Sorry to my friends out of the states.)
- Leave me a comment and make sure your e-mail address is in there so I can contact you if you are the winner.
- Then spread the word on your own blog. You are welcome to grab the cute little graphic that I made at the top of this post. (Just right-click on the graphic and choose "save pictures as" or copy and paste it into your own post.)
- Include a text link in your blog post too so people know how to get here and enter.
- Please only enter once.
- You don’t need to have a blog to enter.
- A winner will be randomly picked and announced on Monday, February 2nd.
Go visit their site and check out all the details on this Brewer. It’s a pretty amazing product.
And guess what? Bloggy Giveaways is having their big bash this week too. So go on over and find some more freebies.Good luck and keep your eyes out for more Grocery Cart Challenge Giveaways in the future!

Hi, Gayle
I am from Illinois.Started reading your blog several months ago and thoroughly enjoy it. I am Russian and before I came across your blog I too decided to live on a $ 50.00 budget. So your idea was a conformation to mine. By the way a lot of frugal tips you offer remind me the way we live overseas.

Your blog is great! Thanks so much!

Oh My, I have wanted one of these types of coffee makers for over 4 years. I just never had the $$$ to fork out for it. Would LOVE to win one. If not, I guess I will start a collection jar and put my coffee money in it anytime I get the urge to visit Starbucks. I guess it wouldn't actually take long to reach $250 at the rate of $4 each :)
