Wordless Wednesday: Freecycle Deal!



So you may ask, What does a piano have to do with Making Money or Keeping Money? Well, I got this piano off of my local Freecycle list (a yahoo group). I paid to have it moved after I had a friend look at it to make sure it has good bones. So for $110 I got a piano that had its first service in 1935.

Freecycle has been a great resource for me in both giving and getting. I obviously got a great piano but I have also gotten clothing and neat decor things. I have also gotten rid of stuff that I would have had to pay to haul. Things like a giant metal desk, the kind Salvation Army won't take. I was having a baby shower, rearranged my living room and wanted it gone. They came and got it so it was a blessing to some one else who need a huge desk.

Contesting Monday

So welcome to this week's Contesting Monday! We are here because I figured what could make facing Mondays a little more fun than entering some great drawings. So here is the deal. I will start you guys off with a couple of giveaways and then you put yours, or your finds, into Mr. Linky. If you are hosting a giveaway or have a post about someone's giveaway just leave a link. Make sure this link is to the giveaway post and not the blog or it will be deleted. If you listed it last week but your giveaway is still open, list it again! Also your link must be to something family friendly or it will be deleted. Here are just a couple of giveaways to get you all started!

Kailani has a great giveaway sponsored by Trendy Tadpole. Just enter for a cute t-shirt of your choice.

OfficeMax and Sharpie have a great giveaway for a $100 gift card from Banana Republic, Old Navy or Gap.

Make sure you keep coming back all week to see the new entries. Also this week I will keep updating this post with some great contests that I am going to find and enter!

Stride Gum Freebie

Who doesn't want a free pack of gum? Stride is giving you one if you go play along on their site. First you go over to this site and type in your age. If you are old enough you just fill out a form. Yes, the set up looks goofy but it isn't really a court settlement but just a play at being clever;).
