Hallmark - $5 off Purchase Coupon

I was at Hallmark today using my $5 coupon that I got in my Real Simple magazine this month and was able to get my box of Christmas Cards for $5! Deal! Darn the luck, I need another box. Apparently, I have too many card to send out. Luckily, Hallmark has an online printable $5 off purchase.  When I printed mine, the expiration date is 12/24.  Be sure to hit the back button so you can print twice!

I think I'll be getting another box of Christmas Cards and maybe an ornament!

Thanks, MoneySavingMethods!

Giveaway - 100,000 Book Giveaway from Cheerios!

The Casa de Cowan are big books readers. I can say that every night we are reading a book, magazine or some form of reading takes place. I think at the end of the day, reading a book is going to enrich your mind so much more than watching TV or playing a video game. I think Cheerios agrees too.

The Cheerios family of cereals, First Book and Jon Scieszka, author of the popular “Trucktown” series and other children’s books, have joined together to deliver 100,000 books to community-based programs serving children in need – and we’d love your help! All you have to do is go online with your child and test your combined knowledge of children’s books by answering trivia questions related to “Trucktown” and other great children’s books.

For every trivia question answered correctly, you can cast one vote for the state you would like to receive books. The five states receiving the most votes will get 20,000 books each, for a total of 100,000 books. Visit www.FirstBook.org/Scieszka to test your knowledge and start voting.

My Blog Spark has joined forces with Cash Cowan to offer 1 lucky reader a 100,000 Book Giveaway Prize Pack including - an assortment of books from Cheerios, one of the many varieties of Cheerios cereals and a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble.

Want to win? Here's How:

1st entry (Mandatory) - Tell me why your state should get 20,000 books OR How many trivia questions did you correctly answer?

2nd entry -Follow me on Twitter
3rd entry -become a Fan on Facebook

Contest Ends December 17th - Winner Announced December 18th!

Cheerios provided me with the information and prize packs through MyBlogSpark. I was given a prize pack, however, this did not alter my personal views on Cheerios
