For some of you it may seem early to start thinking about Christmas. Those of you who have been saving money for a long time might be expecting this!
Christmas is a lot more fun when you don’t have to worry as much about where you are going to come up with the funds. It is also a lot more fun to give people gifts so cutting that out has never been an option for me. Here is where the Budget Christmas Challenge comes in!
BUDGET CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE
- I will be posting “super” deals as we get closer to Christmas. There will be gifts suitable for all ages and genders at very low prices.
- I will be posting ways to earn some extra cash and gift cards, which you can turn around and use for gift money.
- Those of you who put the Christmas Challenge Button on your own site/blog will get an extra entry into EVERY giveaway between now and Christmas (starting with this weeks giveaway for an Amber necklace!) If you do not have a site or blog then you can get the extra entries for putting “I joined the Budget Christmas Challenge” in a signature line for a forum you frequent.
- There will be more giveaways! I always end up with a few items I do not use. This year I will be giving those to you. You can keep them for yourself or use it as a Christmas gift!
- There will be special WAHM features and sales posted once a month that you can take advantage of.
- I will be telling you about the items I purchase and my budget so you can see how much money this can save you!
This was a hit last year. Let’s see how much money we can save!
The code for putting the button on your own blog is:
{ 29 comments… read them below or add one }
I don't see the code for the button, just the graphic. Did I miss something?
Let me know and I'll post it on my blog 😀
I would be delighted to post your button! No code in sight though…
I don't see the code either but I see the graphic.
I can't wait to see the up coming deals this yr. I am curious to see how the deals are since we have one that is going to be 8 and one that will be 17 and then christmas and anniversaries and more all with in the next 2 mos. 3 weeks.
wow, not much time.
I linked the button to this post (I just saved the image to Photobucket). Did you want it directly to the site? I am looking forward to seeing what great deals you post.
I didn't see the code either. I'd love to join in. Please let me know when I can grab that code! THanks!
LOL, I'm a doof – I typed out the "code" and of course it came through as showing the button! I didn't look at it after I posted 🙂 I'll fix it as soon as I can!
It's fixed, sorry about that!
