One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

You found me!

I knew you could do it 🙂

So what do you think?  It’s kinda cool over here wouldn’t you say?  No more blinking ads in Chinese… No more awful pink strips that remind you of Victoria Secrets (like I’d shop there anyway… c’mon… the underwear there is like $8 a pair).  No more having to look at me hug a box of FREE coupon crack cereal every time you come to visit… Admit it… It’s waaaay better over here right?  Almost peaceful… in a Mavis… this looks like a REAL website kinda way.

Nahhh… don’t be fooled… I’m still as verbally incontinent as ever… still doing the 3 dot thing… because it’s looks better than a comma… or is it because I don’t know how to use a comma correctly?  Darn that cute Cameron Hall boy from the 3rd grade who I couldn’t stop talking to during English class!

Anyway… about that giveaway… Because of the whole move from 100dollarsamonth to onehundreddollarsamonth.com (Some lady in Indonesia apparently owns the 100dollarsamonth website… can you believe it?) I’d like to give 1 lucky reader a $100 gift card to Home Depot!  Yep… you heard me!

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS… Who wouldn’t love to win that?  I’m sure even Mr.H could use that… for like twine or something… (because we all know he doesn’t need it to buy plants).

So here’s how I’m going to do this…

There are 3 different ways to enter this giveaway.  You can do 1 or all 3… it’s up to you.  But… if you can do all 3… the odds are better…not that I’m a mathematician or anything… cause I’m not.

Here’s How to Enter:

#1 Leave me a comment on THIS POST…

#2 “Like” onehundreddollarsamonth.com on Facebook

#3 Stop “following” 100dollarsamonth.blogspot.com and follow onehundreddollarsamonth.com instead. Or if you weren’t following before… start following now.  And if you don’t know how to “follow” me (because even I don’t know how to do that) if you have a blog… maybe you could add me to your side bar… so all your bloggy friends will know you like me… cause I’m really kinda needy that way 🙂  Just leave me a note below telling me you did it.

It’s that easy!  Really it is…

The $100 Home Depot Gift Card Giveaway ends on Friday, June 17th at 12pm PST.  A winner will be chosen at random and the results will be posted by 5pm PST on Friday evening.

So hey… thanks in advance for entering… and sticking with me… I’m glad you’re here.

  16. Great new blog, looks good! I’d love to spend $100 at Home Depot, are you kidding~? That’s a normal weekend shopping trip for us, lots to do around here. Thanks for the offer!

  28. I also figured out how to take the old blog off my follow list and add your new site using the URL…so bring on some Home Depot. I need a new roof and a giftcard would certainly help!

  31. I just did all three!! I NEED that HD card girl…my backyard isn’t finished yet!!

    Love the new site…although I will say I like the pic of you and the cereal box. 🙂

    And three dots is…wrong?

    Reply

  33. I am now your follower, and I’m putting your link in my sidebar at my blog…www.aroundmulberrybush.com. It’s not updated very regularly, but it’s there, just the same !

    Reply

  45. I’m kind of a 3 dot person myself…who needs commas anyway. Mrs. H said she would “like” you on that facebook thingy…I can always use a little more twine.:) Very nice site!

    Reply

  54. Your new site looks very nice! You have inspired me to drastically reduce my grocery bill from $500 a month to $225 in April and $235 in May. I’m trying to get down to under $200 a month!

    Reply

  62. I’m new here also, via “Thy Hand Hath Provided” (which I found a few months ago while looking for frugal living tips). I don’t tweet, do Facebook, or even blog, but am super-impressed by anyone who can feed a family on $100 a month! I plan to visit often for more tips, encouragement, and contests.

  64. So glad to find you . . . again!
    You disappeared from my life and all I had was Fabulously Frugal and NOT ENOUGH MAVIS!!!
    By-the-way – I’d love to have my name in the hat for the gift card.

    Reply

  65. I’m a follower (not officially, because I don’t know how).
    So. . . I officially declare that I will follow your new website. You’re my favorite.

  66. Cute, Cute hair!
    I have to give Kudos to “Thy Hand Hath Provided.” When I couldn’t get on your blog for a few weeks saying it was non-existant, I finally gave up and left. Then Provided mentioned you and I thought “I’m just going to get another bogus link” —– But No, It Worked!
    Sign me up as a follower again – as soon as I find out how, I’ll be sure to follow.

  71. Congrats on the big move.. I wouldn’t miss your site for a day. I’m a daily stalker.. but in a totally non threatening way.

    Reply

  76. I will be following you, not creepy or stalker way, here from now on! Thanks for all that you do with your blog and shopping postings & tips. A pure inspiration!

    PS. I am a HUGE fan of the … too and can’t believe I didn’t use until now! 😉

  77. After moving in to our new home over a year ago, there is still more Home Depot shopping and spending to do than Mavis has coupons. Would love to win!

    Reply

  80. I also now follow your blog on Google reader. PS I am not a creepy stalker person, I just really love your website and humor:) and free things doesn’t hurt either!

    Reply

  84. Awesome giveaway Mavis. I always think your comments are so funny. You inspired me to cut my budget by $200. I’m at $300 a month now for 5. So excited for you. Congrats… on the new blog…!!!

    Reply

  88. I posted a link on a website that I contribute to. it’s freakinkrazyidahocoupons.webs.com/ it’s for the minicassia area in ID. that makes three. Nice giveaway Mavis by the way!

    Reply

  91. And I am now officially “following” you on my reader feed, not just a bookmark on my computer any more. Although that bookmark is still there. So maybe my husband will click on it someday and read your blog.

    Reply

  93. WOAH! i’m in!! 🙂 I’m gonna follow and LIKE you on Facebook. So there, three entries for me!!! 🙂

    Reply

  95. I did #1 and #3. I refuse to do #2 sorry I’m kind of constipated that way LOL. Love the pic of you and the chick too! And I really love no ads.

    Reply

  96. not sure if i’m supposed use three seperate comments to enter each way, but i guess i will just in case. so #1- have been stalking your blogs about coupon crack for over a year now- love it. and love the new location.

    Reply

  98. #3. not entirely sure how to become a ‘follower’, but i clicked a button that said to notify me of new posts via email, so hopefully it works. if not, i will still be reading & admiring your coupon skills

    Reply

  99. Kindred spirits, we are! Love your blog and the wisdom & insight you are putting out on the blogosphere. Just sayin’.

    Reply

  100. I’m now a follower. Not in a creepy way. Unless by creepy you mean someone who loves to clip coupons. 🙂

    Reply

  106. Oooh! Pick me! We’re moving in a month and this would be great for those last few touch ups! Love the new page!

    Reply

  107. I don’t know how to follow your blog officially, but I check it almost every day anyway, does that count?

    Reply

  110. I don’t know how to “follow” you, but I stuck you on my bookmarks bar, which I compulsively check, like, 100 times a day, which is pretty much the same, right? (come on…pick me!)

    Reply

  111. Oh, and here’s a comment for another entry: Great blog…one that I can see really using. We just are starting to budget, and this not spending money on food on a whim is really killing me. We live out in the boonies, so couponing isn’t quite as easy as city-folk, but we are moving to more whole foods, which can be cheaper (but also more expensive). Anyway, 100 bucks/month sounds great. Thanks for the chance to win a HD gift card. We’re just finishing up our house (hopefully before our daughter arrives ~7weeks), and that’s our favorite store (it is only an hour away).

  116. I just found you through one of my favorite blogs…Thy Hand Hath Provided. I’m definately interested in saving at the grocery…I will check back with you often. By the way…I like using the … thing too!

    Reply

  122. I stumbled upon this blog when I was trying to google my own blog when I did a $100 month challenge. WOW! Can I just say that I wish I had seen this blog before I started my own challenge way back when? I’m geared up to try this again!

    Reply

  124. Of course I did all three. I found some good coupon databases for those of us in the southeast. Will send them to you soon.

    Reply

  135. So happy to find you on facebook! I “liked” you! Love the new site, winning the gift card would be great! My husband ruined several tools helping my aunt and uncle after the Joplin, MO tornado, this way we can replace some of them!!!
