Happy New Year and Some Fun News!

Did you hear that?  It was the sound of 2013 whooshing by – and 2014 springing upon us.

Hard to believe, am I right?

I always like to take some time to reflect at the end of a year and then dream about the year to come.  It was a great year here at Cha-Ching on a Shoestring: we introduced a bunch of new grocery stores to our weekly coupon matchups (with more to come), unveiled the Favado Grocery Shopping app,  had a blast with the Merry Little Christmas Project, introduced the 31 Days to Earn Extra Cash Online series, and were featured on the Philadelphia news for our Project Summer Fun series!  I also really enjoyed introducing you all to some of my favorite recipes this year.  And, of course, the deals and freebies were rolling the whole time. 🙂

As I think ahead to the upcoming year, I am full of hopes and dreams – but at the top of the list is making sure you know how much I appreciate YOU!  I can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve shown me through the years, for sharing Cha-Ching on a Shoestring with your friends, for your encouraging and kind comments and for being just as excited about deals and freebies as I am!  Makes me a little teary-eyed when I think about it.

So here’s my fun news: 

One way I want to show my appreciation is by offering a $25 Amazon gift card to one email subscriber every month.  The best part?  All you have to do is sign up as an email subscriber (be sure to click through the verification email that comes too. )

That’s it.  Once you’ve done that, you are automatically entered into my drawing each month – no need to do anything else.  If you’re already a subscriber, you’re all set too! I’ll share the winner here at the beginning of each month.

Happy New Year, friends.  I can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for us!
