Back on the horse . . .

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

December 15, 2009 By Cherie Lowe

Hey everybody.  So you may have noticed that I’ve been a little M.I.A. around these parts lately.  No worries, nothing’s wrong.  Just been a little busy.  And now, I’m feeling a little overwhelming with all I’ve “missed” on here.  Needless to say, today I’ll be sorting through links, power browsing, and deal shopping. I have a teeny bit of Christmas shopping left to do myself but the majority of it is all done and we’ve already even had one Christmas Celebration with family.

We were VERY excited to receive a new Wii for our family at that celebration.  And after a very long and tiring day yesterday, we (mainly me) played for *um* two hours.  Who knew Ping Pong on Wii Play could be so addictive?  I will get 100 rallies before the end of the year.  I can promise you that.  Anyway, I’m learning new frugal things about Wii games and products.  Got a tip?  Leave it here!  And I’m praying the Wii Fit will go on crazy sale this week on Amazon but thus far no luck!  A girl can dream right?  😉  It’s a long shot, but maybe I can win one on The Thrifty Mama thanks to the good kindheartedness of Lady Crystal.  🙂

Speaking of contests, I’m not big on sweepstakes but lately, I’ve been entering a few.  I don’t even know why I’m sharing these links because you entering decreases my odds but I don’t want to be a miser and maybe one of you will get lucky.

  • Dave Ramsey is giving away awesome “gifts” everyday until Christmas.  Yesterday it was $5K.  WOWZA.
  • Women’s Health daily does giveaways on products I would love to own (usually).
  • All You – my favorite magazine – has three giveaways currently: Holiday Giveaway for a Year’s Worth of Groceries (and a year’s worth of food for your local community food bank), Monthly Giveway with some great prizes, and a Dream of a Lifetime $25K Sweepstakes.

I’ve won a few small things from internet Sweepstakes but nothing major.  You can decide if entering is worth your time or not.  It is fun to dream of a big prize surprise.  You never know, I suppose.  So anyway, back to the blogging.  Back to the bargaining (Thursday’s the last day to get standard shipping before Christmas and I have a feeling some deals are on their way).  And a Merry Christmas to you.
