The winner of the $50 Bottom Dollar Food gift card is: Kristen (kristenmusial@xxxx)

I have sent you an email with details on how to claim your prize, Kristen.

If you participated in the Amazon Dash for Cash giveaway this week, the winners will be posted later this evening.

Stay tuned for even more fun giveaways soon!

Bottom Dollar Food Stores recently moved into my area and I’ve been wanting to check them out as I’ve heard good things about their prices.  So I was pleased when I was offered the opportunity to go on a shopping trip and offer a review.

I was impressed by several things about the store.  The first was the cost of produce.  Compared to most stores in our area, the costs were significantly lower and who doesn’t love saving money on fruits and veggies?!

Another positive feature is that you can use coupons (although they don’t double) and they do carry brand name foods as opposed to some discount stores that do not.  The selection is not quite as great as other grocery stores, but I was still pleased with what I saw.

One item of note is that you will need to bring shopping bags with you (or use empty boxes like I did!).  This is just one way they help to lower their costs.

And to top it all off, my cashier was super friendly (even though she had no idea I was writing a review!).  I think most couponers agree that there’s nothing worse than a grouchy cashier!

I’m happy to share that Bottom Dollar Food is offering a $5 off $25 coupon here for Cha-Ching on a Shoestring readers that is valid July 18-28, 2011.

Wondering if there is a Bottom Dollar Food Store in your area?  Click here to find out!

Bottom Dollar wants to give one lucky Cha-Ching on a Shoestring reader a $50 gift card!

Here’s how to enter:

You have up to four possible methods of entry:

• “Like” Bottom Dollar on Facebook. Leave a comment below telling me that you did so.

• Subscribe to this site in a reader or by e-mail and leave a comment letting me know you subscribed.  If you are already a subscriber, simply let me know in a comment.

• Follow me on twitter. Leave a comment on this post letting me know you are a follower.

• “Like” Cha-Ching on a Shoestring on facebook and leave a comment on this post letting me know.  If you are already a fan, simply let me know in a comment. (I love comments on the facebook page as well, but those will not count toward the giveaway!)

Note: Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post to leave your comments.  (If you are reading this is an e-mail click here to do so.) By leaving a separate comment for each entry you will have a greater chance of winning!  E-mail responses will not be considered as an entry in the giveaway.

This giveaway ends at 10:00 a.m. EST on Monday, July 25, 2011. I will randomly select the winning comment. Winner will be notified by email and listed on this site.

Disclaimer: Bottom Dollar Food provided me with a gift card to facilitate a shopping trip and this review.  The rest is all me!

Thanks to all who participated in the Amazon Dash for Cash giveaway last night.  The list of winners has been posted here.  If you are on the list, be sure to keep your eyes open for an email from one of the participating bloggers soon!

I hope that the new blogs that you discovered as a part of the event will help you stretch your dollars even further.  (In fact, I’m confident they will!)

I wanted to mention a couple things:

1) This was a bit of a trial run.  The participating blogs wanted to test this out and see if you all would be interested in participating.  The response was great and I’m sure we will do something similar again.

2) Because this was a success, look for bigger and better giveaways in the future!  And yes–even if you already participated last night, you will be able to do so again next time.

3)  Thanks for being such awesome readers. 🙂

Update: This giveaway has begun and will end at 10 pm EST!  Simply click on my ‘One Hour Giveaway’ tab to begin entering.  Make sure to verify that you have liked each page by filling out the info on the ‘I Did This’ tab.  $42 in Amazon cash is up for grabs…not to mention a whole lot of money-saving info!

Are you following me on Facebook yet?  It really is a helpful resource.  You can stay up to date on all my deals and it’s a great place to interact with other deal-finders like yourself!

I also want to introduce you to other blogs that you can follow for even more great deals.  I am just one person–not to mention a wife and a mom–so of course, I’m not going to be able to keep up with all the deals and savings info that is available each day.  That would be so cool if I had that super power.  But I don’t…

One very FUN way that I want to help introduce you to a few other blogs will take place TONIGHT (7/13) between 9 – 10 pm EST.  If you head over to my Facebook page and click on the One Hour Giveaway tab beginning at 9 pm EST, you will be given ONE hour to ‘like’ as many Facebook pages as possible. Each like is worth potentially $1 in Amazon cash. You can win multiple times so be sure to ‘like’ as many pages as you can in 60 minutes to get the most possible entries.

We will let you know who the winners are when the event has ended.  Plus you’ll be following all sorts of new blogs that will help you save even more money–can’t go wrong with that, right?

I will be sure to remind you to head on over at 9 pm and join in the fun.  See you then!

ConAgra Foods has committed to donating one meal to Feeding America for every Child Hunger Ends Here product code entered at www.childhungerendshere.com through August 31, up to 2.5 million meals. The codes are only on specially-marked packages, but there are still hundreds of thousands of meals just waiting to be donated.

I encourage you to check your fridge or freezer and raid the pantry to see if the coded products are simply on sitting on shelves.  (I just found a Peter Pan Peanut Butter jar with a code in my pantry!)

The company has donated more than 1 million meals thus far thanks to folks who’ve entered their product codes online. To let people know that ConAgra Foods is keeping the momentum going through August, they have created an online photo gallery of everyone who has helped fight child hunger on ConAgra’s facebook page.

ConAgra Foods has offered to give a $25 Walmart Gift Card to one lucky reader!
