This is my favorite part of doing this website is when I get to announce the winner of a giveaway!  And this morning I get to do that!  I went on over to Random.org this morning and they picked a winner for me… which it is so funny and I have never had this happen, but it was the first entry!!!  Yes,

JODI (jodilynn88)

you are the

WINNER!!!

Congratulations!  I just emailed you!  Please email me back within 48 hours with your information and I will pass it on to Rebecca!  Thank you to all who entered and a BIG thank you to Rebecca at Hot Tots Boutique for doing a giveaway with us!!  You are awesome!!  Don’t forget to check out her blog HERE as she does giveaways on there as well!!

Update:  Go HERE to get to the game!  I can’t believe I forgot the link… sorry, guys!!

Kikkoman currently has an Instant Win Game going on right now!  I just won a basting brush and other prizes included: spoon rests, tongs, cookbooks, and BOGO coupons.  It seems that everyone wins something!  Good luck!!

Thanks, Wichita Coupons!

I used Random.org to choose the winners and these were the first four chosen:

Tanya C. – Bath Set

Darci S. – Bath Set

Missy B. – $5 Sonic Card

Robin C. - $20 Wal-Mart Card

Then I decided to pick two more winners, just because (also with Random.org):

Carrie- surprise gift

Julie C.- surprise gift

(I know you wanna know what these ladies won… so you’ll have to talk them into coming back and commenting after they receive their gifts)!!

I will send each of you an email or facebook message depending on the contact information that I have for you!  Please respond within the next 48 hours with your address so I can get your gift sent off to you (and so I don’t have to pick a new winner)!

Congratulations, ladies!

I will be announcing another giveaway soon!

I was thinking this evening that I should do a giveaway for my awesome friends over on Facebook!  Mostly because you guys totally ROCK, but also because I am excited for the support!   So if you haven’t joined us on Facebook yet, head on over right HERE and fan us!!  Then enter this awesome giveaway!  So what am I going to give away?!?  I actually have a few things I am going to give away!  Yes, that’s right there will be several different winners!

Items 1 and 2 are  ”Sweet Pea!” scented bath and body gift sets

Item 3 will be a $5 Sonic Gift Card

Item 4 will be a $20 Wal-Mart Gift Card

And there might even be a bonus giveaway… my blog, so I can decide, right?!

So how do you enter?!

Just one way to enter this time- just suggest Pays To Be Frugal’s fan page to your friends HERE!  Just click on the “Suggest to Friends” link below the picture.  It will bring up a box full of your lovely friends faces and you can click on each one that you want to share this with!   You can get one entry by suggesting it to at least 10 friends!   Get two entries if you suggest it to at least 20 friends!  If you suggest it to all of your friends, you can get 2 bonus entries!!  Unfortunately you still have to click on each individual picture, there isn’t a way to suggest to all at one time-wish there was!
