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!

Great prize! I can't live without my coffee every morning.
This is an amazing giveaway. I am an absolute coffee lover and would enjoy this very much. Thanks for offering.
Just discovered your blog and love it. waltersfamily@verizon.net
Well, I'll be honest, I'm actually not a coffee drinker. But my husband is and I would love to win it for him. It is very rare that he gets anything special for himself and it would make me so happy to win it for him!!

I have been wanting one of these, even the low-end model, for soooo long!
I have been following your blog for several months now and have tried the laundry soap and so many of your recipes my family always says "Mom must have got this from that internet lady". My family and I thank you for all the helpful tips to living frugally and eating healthy!! You have made being frugal cool!!

Thanks so much! My husband would love this!
This is soo awesome. Great Site. Thanks Jess jessi92982@aol.com
This is SWEET! I almost asked for one for x-mas but they are so expensive... momconnection@yahoo.com
I so so so want to win this. I have a senseo, and to put it mildly, it just doesn't cut it. It is definitely the "out" machine, as you can hardly find pods for it anymore. I am a pretty content girl for the most part, but a good cup of coffee just makes my day, and I know that I'd get this from a Keurig.
That is so great that Keurig donated such an awesome gift for you! I am so on the edge of buying my own! Just researching the one I want. robynccgirl@gmail.com. Thanks!
How Nice of them!~ Freebiegoddess03(at)aol(dot)com
This coffeemaker would stop me from expecting my husband to make the coffee every morning. I have learned a great deal from your blog and now following a weekly grocery budget - Thanks! danableu@windstream.net

Come on, I am sure you are truly an awesome gal, but how tempting was it for you to say, daaang, 'I think I'll just keep this for myself!'? Kidding, of course. Very generous of them and you! Thanks!
WoW!! What a great giveaway! I actually bought myself one from Target for Christmas, got it home and felt so guilty I spent the money that I took it back three days later!! Pittiful huh?? I also calculated how much the coffee maker and the extra boxes of coffee would have cost and decided it was cheaper to stop at the local gas station and buy a cup a couple days a week! I guess I am going a little overboard on saving money. I would love to have one though! My husband(a non-coffee drinker) is still trying to convince me to spend the money and buy one. He will be excited about this giveaway too! Thank you!!!
Oops! Forgot to leave my email address..bohana@att.net

This is my first time reading your blog. I think it's great! What a great give-away. I never win anything, but hey you never know:)
I love coffee!
lindsayajohnson at bellsouth dot net
Wow! What a great giveaway!! I actually bought one for myself for Christmas at Target and got it home, put it under the tree and then felt so guilty that I spent the money I returned. I calculated how much the machine was and then how much the coffee was and realized I could stop at the local gas station a couple days of week for a year in exchange for the price of the maker and the coffee. I guess you could say I am addicted to saving money. My husband (the non-coffee drinker) was upset I took it back because I NEVER buy myself anything! Needless to say...I would love to have one. Thanks for the great giveaway!
bohana@att.net
I would love a chance to win! Thanks!
Coffee rules! This would be a lifesaver at the library where I'm the entire staff (and I sometimes forget to bring my thermos)
