Win a $500 Gift Card to WalMart!

Share your best money saving holiday tip and you could win a $500 gift card to Wal-Mart compliments of Nickelodeon. All you need to do is visit one of Walmart's Eleven Moms, read their blog about the contest, and post your best holiday tip for an entry. You can start here with Being Frugal.net , an awesome money saving blog that you should seriously consider adding to your blog reader list.

And in the spirit of the contest, here's my best money saving holiday tip. If you're a little strapped for cash this season to buy holiday gifts, but want to give at least something, consider making a small donation to charities such as March of Dimes. You can donate as little as $1 in someone's name and it will help that charity tremendously. You can also printout a receipt that shows the gift recipient's name and the name of the charity (the amount will not show). This a beautiful, priceless gift that will make you and the gift recipient feel good. It really embodies the holiday spirit of giving.
