End of the Year CELEBRATION: Day 2

I am SO excited to spend the next FIVE days celebrating YOU!

I sincerely believe that I have some of the most kind readers of any blog in the blog-o-sphere! I have LOVED spending the last year teaching coupon classes, blogging, bumping into many of you at local shopping venues, fielding questions- and all around talking SHOP with you! As much as I have enjoyed encouraging you along your journey to savvier savings, I have been just as encouraged! Thank you for the kind comments and emails, and especially the success stories that many of you have shared- they've definitely hit the spot!

It really tickles me to spend the next FIVE days thanking you for a wonderful 2009 (1.1.10 is my one year blog-o-versary) by doling out $50 gift cards... because, lets be honest, gift cards are the best!

TODAY'S GIFT CARD GIVE AWAY IS: $50 to WALGREEN'S!!!

Each day between NOON & MIDNIGHT you may enter to with the $50 gift card of the day! The winner of the $50 gift card will be announced the following morning (using Random.org) just before the following day's $50 gift card give away is announced! *Today you may enter earlier if you are reading this before noon.

Here's how to enter: (be sure to heighten your chances of winning by entering more than once!)

1. Sign up to become a FOLLOWER of Sharpen Your Scissors, this is the most sincere form of flattery to a blogger!

2. If you are already a Sharpen Your Scissors FOLLOWER than flaunt your follower status and share how long you've been following Sharpen Your Scissors!

3. For each friend/family member/co-worker/neighbor that you recruit to become a FOLLOWER of Sharpen Your Scissors you will receive another entry to win! (Make sure to enter separately!)


4. Share with me which drug store is your favorite and why!


5. Link this page to your blog, Facebook page or Tweet about this give away! (I'm @mrsdavewebber on Twitter!) Then let me know that you've put out your broadcast!

***All WINNERS will have 24 hours to contact me, or I will select another winner... All gift cards will be mailed out 1/2/10!

The WINNER for the $50 to WALGREEN'S will be announced
at NOON tomorrow 12/28/09!

Hi Laura! I've only been following since November 09 but have learned a lot in this short amount of time! My favorite drug store by far is CVS!! It is easy to manipulate and gives me the most rewards for my purchases. Going through the ads and coupons on Sunday afternoon has become a favorite past time!!

Sunnie

CVS is my favorite because it is the one I started with and is just easy peasy.....I have just started working Walgreens for a gift card would be awsome!!!

I think CVS is my favorite, because I have the easiest time with their ECBs and deals. Walgreens and Rite Aid have given me issues in the past, but CVS has always been pretty awesome.

My favorite is Rite-Aid. There's just something about getting actual cash/checks back that I can't resist!

CVS is the best...good customer service, great deals and easy to do! :)

I am, of course, a follower already! I have been a follower for a couple months.

My favorite drug store is probably Rite Aid since it's the closest to my house. I like the deals at Walgreens, but the staff at my local Wags isn't so great.

Thank you for such an awesome giveaway!

My favorite drug store is Walgreens (so I really hope I win!). They always seem to have the best rewards!

mooosley

My favorite has to be Walgreens! My local store is very coupon friendly. Lately their deals have been the best and I totally rocked the $5 RR deal when you spent $25.

I like CVS but sometimes the 45 minute drive takes away from any profit I would make.

Amy

I'm a follower! I can't remember for how long...

I like CVS the most

CVS is my favorite but I'll shop at Walgreen's often too (they are right across the street from each other).

My Fav drugstore is CVS because I love how lenient they are with stacking CVS coupons and manufacturer coupons I can walk out of there with a cart full for a few bucks! Plus they reward you for using the pharmacy!

It helps that they are 3 blocks away too.

I really like Rite-Aid's single check rebates. Being that I just started couponing in the last couple of months, Rite-Aid has offered many cool deals like the Christmas Jingle.

My favorite drugstore is CVS. They don't have all of the 'rules' that Wags has. I also appreciate the extra coupons ($4 off $20 etc) you can receive by scanning your CVS card in store and their ECB's don't expire as fast as Wags RR.

I like Walgreens because it is only a mile from my house and open until 10 pm so I can dash up there once the kids are tucked in bed.

Laura! You're so popular! I'm loving how many people are following you these days! Oh - and of course I'm a follower, too! :-)

Fav drugstore - I guess I'd have to say Walgreens. I used to LOVE playing the ECB game at CVS, but there just isn't a convenient location for me, so my love for CVS fizzled.

Hi again Laura,

My favorite drug store is CVS because it's the closest and most convenient to where I live, and I love to use their ECBs! I have gotten good at rolling them over, like you taught me in your class!

Walgreens is my second favorite, however. I have gotten many good deals there!

Thanks,
