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.

Just when you thought we were all giveawayed out after those crazy 24 Days of Christmas Giveaways, I’m ringing in the new year with one of my favorite giveaways EVER! I’m so excited about it I’m having trouble typing. Yep, it’s that awesome!

How to Plant a Meyer Lemon Tree Container

It’s no secret how much I love Lemon, my Meyer Lemon Tree I ordered from Fast Growing Trees. Lemon has been everything I hoped for in a tree and more. It was love at first sight because I didn’t have to haul her from the store, get the back of our truck filthy or worry about her tipping over on the way home. Nope, all I had to do was plop down at my computer, find the tree I wanted on Fast Growing Trees and with a few simple clicks, my tree was on my doorstep within days.  The experience was so awesome, in fact,  I was kicking myself that I’d wasted years getting trees the hard way!

In addition to how simple it was to order the tree, and how speedy fast the shipping was, the tree was packed so well it arrived in perfect shape and ready to be planted. The root ball was in perfect shape too and there were already tons of lemon buds, which was a total bonus I wasn’t expecting!

Plus, their customer service was awesome, too! Right after they shipped my tree, Pam over at Fast Growing Trees sent me an email with planting instructions so I’d know just how to plant Lemon.

And guess what? Now you can have a Lemon of your very own! The awesome peeps at Fast Growing Trees are generously giving away not one, but TWO $100 gift certificates to Fast Growing Trees to TWO of my lucky readers!! Wahooo!

So how do you get in to win? Just head on over to Fast Growing Trees and tell me what you’d spend your $100 gift certificate on if you won.
 A cherry tree? A Royal Empress? Or perhaps some Lavender Rhododendron?

Just answer that one question and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here.

I like to keep things classy around here, so tonight I’m giving away yet another case of Angel Soft Toilet Paper. If you don’t want to enter because you don’t use toilet paper in your neck of the woods, I totally get it, but hey, you could always pass it along to a neighbor or something, or even barter with it.  I hear a lot of people are using toilet paper these days. 😉

For today’s giveaway, I bring you four of the greatest books ever written. Granted they’ll never win a Pulitzer, but they totally should. All the writers are quirky and a little off, which is probably why I love them so much. Even if you don’t win this giveaway, I’d recommend adding these to your must read lists. They’re that awesome.

Untbook giveaway

Four lucky readers will win one of these four books:

You’ll have to choose which book you want {which I know will be a totally agonizing choice}.

For a chance to win, simply leave a comment below and let me know which book you’d choose if you won and why. Are you are hypochondriac too? Are you a really big deal?  Do you like ironic, cartoon anecdotes? Ducks? Or maybe you just like easy reads that don’t make you cry or think about hard stuff?

Just answer that one question and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here.

Rules

1 entry per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.

This giveaway ends  December 7, 2013 @6 pm PST and the winner will be announced in the December 8th, 2013 edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 24 hours to claim your prize. If you do not claim your prize within 24 hours, the prize will be forfeited.
