Comp List 5/29-6/04

Hello, everyone!

Thank you so much for voting for me in the All You contest.  I did get an email a day before the contest ended saying this: 

"After the voting ends, our judges will decide which finalist will be crowned America's Smartest Shopper (of course taking into account the number of votes each one has received!) and who the two runners-up will be. You will be contacted with more information in the next few weeks, but the winner will be contacted at the end of June."

So, I have to be patient and wait until the end of June to see if I won.  But thank you for all you have done to help me (hopefully) win the contest!

I am also trying to get the word out about a garage sale this weekend.  My friend Courtney and I are having a garage sale at her house (1432 Pin Oak Circle in Ottawa) on Saturday, June 1st from 8 - 1 (or whenever all of our junk is gone).  We have some large items (A treadmill, a HUGE 4-piece Winners Only "L" shaped Desk, a twin mattress with box springs and frame) and some smaller items (dishes, home decor, junior's, women's and maternity clothing) and lots of in-between! So come find some goodies!

Happy shopping!

Hello, everyone!

These are the last few days to vote for me to win All You Magazine's America's Smartest Shopper contest!  If you are a new voter, here is what you do:

Step 2.  Click "Vote" below the super embarrassing video that I made... 
Step 3. Enter in your email address on the page that opens. Make sure my name is selected, un-check the box under the Newsletter part if you don't want daily messages from them.  Then select "No thanks, I don't want to subscribe...." unless you DO want to.  Enter in the "CAPTCHA" words then SUBMIT!!  (You will get a confirmation email later on, just click on the link in it to confirm your vote.  If you don't, your vote won't count!!  You should only have to do this once, I think.)
Step 4.  Take yourself out for a stiff drink since you just helped me out!
Step 5. Repeat tomorrow. And the next day.  And the day after that.  Voting ends 5/24 at 11:59pm. 

I am *hoping* that I win- I am in first so far unless the lady in second has a sneak attack that she is planning on the last day in which case you will have to call 911 because I will have a heart attack.  

I have also been getting some updated info from different Walmart stores in the area so I am working on updating the comp rules pages.  I will let you know when I get more info!

Anyway, I think that is it for now! Happy Shopping (and I hope you have a great long weekend!)

It is easy to do and only takes a minute or two (especially if you are a return-voter).  Here is how you do it:

Step 2.  Click "Vote" below the super embarrassing video that I made... 
Step 3. Enter in your email address on the page that opens. Make sure my name is selected, un-check the box under the Newsletter part if you don't want daily messages from them.  Then select "No thanks, I don't want to subscribe...." unless you DO want to.  Enter in the "CAPTCHA" words then SUBMIT!!  (You will get a confirmation email later on, just click on the link in it to confirm your vote.  If you don't, your vote won't count!!  You should only have to do this once, I think.)

Step 5. Repeat tomorrow. And the next day.  And the day after that.  Don't stop that until May 24th!  I need your help- the lady in second keeps creeping up on me!

Thank you- I REALLY appreciate your vote!

As for the winners for this week's contests.... Well, I don't have them done. WHAT?!? I know.  I didn't have time yesterday but I will notify the winners via email today and also on Facebook if you are my friend on there!  I had also mentioned that last week was the official end to the giveaways.  This is mostly true.  I do have a few things left that I will be giving away so keep watching! These may be posted on Facebook (you can find me at https://www.facebook.com/emy330) or my blog or wherever else I think sounds like fun that day. :)

One more thing- I had a nice lady email me requesting to place an ad. I replied with the info and she sent me her ad.  It is located on the first page of ads for this week.  She wanted to review a few businesses in Ottawa that she has had do some work! So please check it out!

I think that is it for now... I am off to get my son ready for his last day of preschool. Have a great week!

Comp List 5/08-5/14- Please vote for me! Details below.


Hello, everyone! I know you are going to get sick of hearing this by May 24th, but please just humor me! I am part of All You Magazine's "America's Smartest Shopper" Contest.  I was one of 8 finalists picked throughout the US and I WANT TO WIN! Please, please, PUH-LEASE vote for me! (If not, then I shall curse you and you shall have THIS SONG stuck in your head forever. In case you are too much of a bum to click the link, its "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time" which happens to be the bee's knees at my house with my 2 year old and 4 year old.)  And if you haven't been voting for me this whole entire time (what?!?) then here is the info:

Step 2.  Click "Vote" below the super embarrassing video that I made... 
Step 3. Enter in your email address on the page that opens. Make sure my name is selected, un-check the box under the Newsletter part if you don't want daily messages from them.  Then select "No thanks, I don't want to subscribe...." unless you DO want to, then by all means, subscribe away.  Enter in the stupid "CAPTCHA" words that you can never read then SUBMIT!!  (You will get a confirmation email later on, just click on the link in it to confirm your vote.  If you don't, your vote won't count!!  You should only have to do this once, I think.)
Step 4.  Do your best celebration dance since you just helped me out!
Step 5. Repeat tomorrow. And the next day.  And the day after that.  Don't stop that until May 24th!  I need your help- the lady in second keeps creeping up on me! 

Let's not forget about the giveaways in all this voting excitement- here are the winners for the giveaways this week:  The Winner of Tastefully Simple giveaway was Brenda Sprague!
The winners of prints donated by the Ottawa Community Arts Council were Angela Glenn, Ramona Richardson, Linda Southiere and Kim Rogers. Congrats!

And I know you folks will be sad but this is the last week (for now) for giveaways! (With a small celebratory dance from me- this has been a lot of work!)  There are 4, that's right- FOUR- giveaways this week.  Please note, one of the is definitely a pick-up only prize- it is very heavy and I don't want to pay to have it shipped! The cleaner may also be hard to ship so hopefully we can have that be a pick-up item, also!  Good luck!! (And next week the ad pages will be shorter with no more giveaways!)

And one more thing: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you wonderful moms out there, including my mom!

Comp List 5/01-5/07 (And you know what to do...vote!)


Hello, everyone! (vote)

I hope you have all been doing well this week. (vote)  There are some good deals for this week, so get excited! (and vote) 

I did want to mention something real quick- You will notice there are some ads listed on the last several(!) pages of the comp list.  Please, oh please, take the time to look over these! (then vote)  These people/businesses have been kind enough to pay for a spot on the ad pages which gives me just a little bit of income for doing the list.  I most definitely appreciate people purchasing these ads so please look at them! You might find something you need! (vote)

Ok, I am done sending you subliminal voting messages.  Here is the scoop just in case you have no idea why I am pestering you to vote for me...  *All You Magazine's is having an"America's Smartest Shopper" contest.  This contest is going on until May 24th at 11:59 pm.   I am one of 8 finalists and I REALLY want to win! If I win, I get $1,000 dollars and get to be in the magazine.  So here is how YOU can help ME: 

Step 2.  Click "Vote" below the super embarrassing video that I made... 
Step 3. Enter in your email address on the page that opens. Make sure my name is selected, un-check the box under the Newsletter part if you don't want daily messages from them.  Then select "No thanks, I don't want to subscribe...." unless you DO want to, then by all means, subscribe away.  Enter in the stupid "CAPTCHA" words that you can never read then SUBMIT!!  (You will get a confirmation email later on, just click on the link in it to confirm your vote.  If you don't, your vote won't count!!  You should only have to do this once, I think.)
Step 4.  Do the Macarena since you just helped me out! (I know you know how to do it. Don't kid yourself.)
Step 5. Repeat tomorrow. And the next day.  And the day after that.  Don't stop that until May 24th!  I need your help- the lady in second keeps creeping up on me! EEk!

Moving on... Last week, I had 3 giveaways.  Here are the results: Karen Wittry was the winner of the Scentsy giveaway, Angie Goodwin won the handmade scarf and Courtney Croucher won the It Works! Wrap! Congrats to all of you!  There are 3 giveaways again this week.  The drawings will happen on Tuesday, May 7th at 7:00pm (or 8 or 9... depending on when I can find time) so I will not accept any entries after that time!  Here are the rules for the contest:

Each week, I will post one or two ads in the regular ad section (at the end of the comp list).  These special ads will have a little sign on them that says "Email "(a code word)" to emy330@yahoo.com to enter".  The code word is located on the ad.  Just email that key word to me (put it in the subject line) and you will be entered! The item in the giveaway will be something from the business that the ad is for but you have to enter to find out what it is!  There are some GREAT items!  If there is more than one giveaway you want to enter for that week, you MUST send me separate emails for the different items.  Please only enter one time for each drawing.  I will try to respond to each entry so you know I got it!  I think I will also post some of the special ads on my blog randomly throughout the month so check there to see if there are any current giveaways on there!  These may or may not be "flash" giveaways that only last a day or two so keep checking. Winners will be announced in the comp list on Wednesdays!

One more thing, someone posted a great deal for Diapers on Facebook.  I do have to admit, I usually am a slacker when it comes to looking at the Toys 'R Us flyers but this deal was found there.  So, I will try to look through that each week, also! (And thanks to Kortni McGill for sharing that deal with everyone!)

Happy shopping!
