To celebrate this site’s first week of existence, I’m staging a giveaway of logo items donated by the friendly folks at FatWallet.com.
First prize consists of an “I am the revolution” T-shirt plus a FatWallet.com baseball cap, pen, water bottle (stainless steel, BPA-free, made by Klean Kanteen) and, believe it or not, FatWallet chocolates and sugar-free cinnamon “micromints” (in a round steel container, very cool).
Second prize: T-shirt, cap, pen, chocolate and mints.
Third prize: T-shirt, chocolate, pen.
You can enter by leaving a comment, by subscribing to the site, or by becoming a follower on Twitter or Facebook. Each action will count as one entry. I’ll use a random number generator to select the winner.
The deadline is 9 p.m. PDT Monday, May 10.
I’m hoping to make contests a weekly item here – who doesn’t like freebies? – but we’ll see how it goes.
Full disclosure: I saved out one FatWallet.com chocolate bar for myself. Call it quality control. It’s from a Wisconsin-based company called Chocolate Temptation, and it was so tasty I’m starting to wish I’d saved out two.
I really enjoy your blog! I stumbled on your article of “Surviving and Thriving…” on msn a few years ago, which is the reason I started reading msn money articles. I find all your practical advice extremely encouraging, and also just not to feel so alone in financial struggles. So glad you started the blog.
(Plus, hope I win!)
Hi there. I like your new site. Thanks for the chance to enter the contest.
Carol
I hope I’m a wiener!
Like your site – good ideas! Really who doesn’t like a freebie 🙂
I subscribed the day you started this blog, love it and loved your story about living on $12k in a year!!!
SonyaAnn: You know that to me you will ALWAYS be a weiner.
Thanks to all for commenting.
I have been following your site on my feedreader since your daughter mentioned it in her blog. Look forward to more articles from your site!
Thanks for the chance to be a weiner! 😉 Donna, do we leave a separate comment for each entry?
I’d love some FatWallet swag — am a long time member of their forum. Have never gotten into their cashback side too much although it seems competitive enough.
I haven’t been on FatWallet in ages. I think I’ll mosey on over.
This is my entry comment so I can be up for chocolate. Always want the chocolate.

Thanks for helping me clarify that.
I was invited by your supremely Clever daughters’ blog ( thru email, love her ideas!) that I subscribe to. Maybe like Mother like Daughter! Either way, I was further attracted to your own blog by the cool name! This sounds like a fun place to be and I would love to subscribe to your blog and also enter your contest!
