Giveaway! Right Here!

I've been a member of the BlogHer Community for more than four years now and, today, we parted ways. I never had any problems with them whatsoever but I had to keep the ads above the fold and I wasn't allowed to do any giveaways that conflicted with their ads. This was pretty much every giveaway. For that reason, I have another blog Givin' In A Fishbowl.  I don't really enjoy maintaining two separate sites and it was difficult to increase traffic over to the other blog. Originally, I was making a bit of money with the BlogHer ads but, lately, it's been pretty pointless as I was bringing in, oh, five dollars a month with the blog.

All of that to say, I am no longer a member of BlogHer and, while it makes me a little sad, I am very pleased to announce my first giveaway here on this blog. It's through Sam's Club and has to do with General Mills Box Tops for Education. However, keep reading because the actual giveaway is at the bottom of the this post...and it's a good one.

Starting tomorrow and ending on 9/30, Sam's Club is giving away 500,000 eBox tops!

Here's how:

• Purchase any product at Sam´s Club and save your receipt
• Beginning 8/1/12, log in or register at   http://bit.ly/ClickandEarn12.  and enter the code found at the bottom of your Sam´s Club receipt
•  Answer a few survey questions and earn 5 eBoxTops for the school of your choice!*

**Limit one earning opportunity per email address. Limit of 100,000 earning opportunities thru 9/30/12.

Now, for the giveaway...

I get to give one of my readers a $25 dollar Sam's Club card. (If you don't have Sam's near you, don't worry, it can be used at Walmart as well.) 

You really all ought to be entering because who can't use 25 free dollars?
