Ok so if you live in or visit the Indianapolis area often, you’re going to want to check this one out (please don’t enter if you don’t because it won’t do you any good . . .  and takes away from local readers . . .  and that’s just not nice!)!  Perhaps you remember Zoo Books, those great little localized coupon booklets (kind of like Entertainment Books) that you bought to support the Zoo and/or a local group or organization?  Well Zoo Books are now called Discover Indy Books and guess what?  I have THREE to give away to you, wonderful Lords and Ladies.

Discover Indy has switched its charitable focus from solely the Indianapolis Zoo (which greatly benefited over the years from Zoo Books) to many different Indiana Based Charities.  In fact, this year, they’ll be giving a percentage of proceeds to the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund, the only Hoosier based Wish Granting Foundation concentrating on children with life-threatening illnesses.  Discover Indy Books are still stocked with great coupons including $50 worth of no purchase necessary coupons, folks.  Free is Good.

To celebrate my new little home away from home on the internet at Indy’s Queen of Free, and thanks to the kind and generous folks at Discover Indy and Blog Indiana, I thought I’d give you a Virtual Housewarming Gift in the shape of awesome.  That’s right, three of you are walking away with your very own Coupon Book.  Here’s what you need to do.

1) Leave a comment with a thought or two about the new Indy’s Queen of Free Blog and/or the Visit Indy Site.  I haven’t gotten too many posts up there yet but keep checking back for the best of the best to do in Indy on the cheap.  And surprise! if you have never seen a real photo of me and only know my cartoon self, you’ll get a big reveal when you click on over.
2) Tweet on Twitter, update your Status Message on Facebook, or Blog on your personal blog with details of the Discover Indy Coupon Book Giveaway for an additional entry. Be sure to leave A SEPARATE comment here linking the Tweet, Status or Blog.  I can’t count it unless you leave a separate one.
3) Subscribe to my blog through e-mail or a RSS feeder (or let me know you already do) and leave an ADDITIONAL comment for one more chance to win.
Comments will close on Monday September 14, 2009 at 9:30 AM with our winner announced at 8:30 PM that night (after Royal Bedtime for the Princesses).  Good luck and get up on it.
Be a Money Saving Lord or Lady! Join us daily for savings, tips, and fun @ The Queen of Free.
