Win a Breville Juicer!
No spend January is going VERY well in our home. I'm happy to report we've stayed "on the wagon". We haven't eaten out, bought any incidentals, and have been very cognizant of our spending in general.
I love what my husband said (when I suggested February might be a better month for the challenge): "Mary, there NEVER is a good month for a no spend challenge. We just need to DO IT."
Since that time, there have been a handful of signs that let me know we are doing the right thing.
One of them came from my friend, Carlie, last week.
Carlie, of Today's Frugal Mom, talked with me about helping in the launch of her new site. I was excited because her site is EXACTLY the kind of tool that helps in a no spend month.
It's about SO MUCH MORE than saving money - it's a lifestyle. Even if you have more than enough to get by, I believe we are CALLED to be good stewards of what we have, and share our resources.
"And while over-indulgence destroys the virtues, frugality destroys the stronghold of vice."
- St. Neilos
I want my children to learn NOW - while their habits are forming - that frugality is a wonderful way to live. No matter what your current financial status, practicing frugality is important.

Thanks for the giveaway! We use a blender for smoothies, but a juicer would be great!!
I've been wanting to try juicing ever since I saw "Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead". I'm not sick or fat but could use more energy.
I blend smoothies now and would love to juice as well.
I'd love to win this juicer for my daughter, actually. She's away at college, a vegetarian and loves juicing. She's not able to do it at school. So, my win would serve as a love gift to invest in my daughter'a health and passion.
Being frugal is definitely a goal we are working towards. Also healthier eating. This giveaway is great. Thanks for all you do.
It would help with a healthy lifestyle.
We've been talking about getting a juicer for a while now but just haven't done it! This would be great to win!

Wow...with a family our size, this sure would be put to use! We drink a lot of smoothies and juice.
I am on a quest to become healthier. I had a clinical stroke about 2 years ago at the age of 50 and have been working on my health ever since. Currently, I am coming off of sugar and bad carbs and this would be a huge help to me and to my husband who has joined me on my quest.
I've been wanting a juicer for a while! With all the produce we get in from the co-op, it would be a good way to help us use up some things we have a hard time eating before they waste (like carrots, we're not big on carrots, but I could turn them into juice like V8 or those Apple & Eve fruitables and we could use them up easier. No waste is very frugal, right? =)
I would like to juice with the juicer ;) We're trying to work toward healthier eating habits in our home and this would be a great tool to aide us in this journey.
I would love to win one of these!
Thanks for inspiring me to have a "no spend" month. I love your blog, Mary. You are an inspiration for so many areas of this "profession" of homemaker, home school educator, home manager, home historian, ...
I'd love to win! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would like to eat healthier...
I'd love to win this for my son in college. He is helping start a church in Chattanooga and just started the Daniel Fast ! This would bless him immensely! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would love this. Our juicer is old and doesn't leave a lot of nutrients in the juice. This would be a huge blessing .
I really want to get more fruits and vegetables in our family's diet and I think juicing would be a great way.
I would love to try healthier options by juicing my own fruits and vegetables instead of buying store bought juice.
I'd love to win the juicer! It would be a better use food items that are sometimes hard to add to a meal, into juice for a few of the kids that are more picky.
I've enjoyed your blog and posts, thanks so much for all of your time and efforts, they are greatly appreciated!
First CONGRATS on her new site, I will be checking it out after I type! COngrats on you guys continuing to be disciplined! I want to win the juicer because one of our goals is to live a healthier life!
I would love to incorporate more juicing into my diet - there are so many great recipes that I would like to try, but my currrent equipment is sadly inadequate to the task. Thanks for offering this!
I NEED MORE VEGGIES in my life, and so do my kids :-) A good juicer would help us in that journey.
I would love to try a juicer- but it's never in the budget - spending a fortune on store bought drinks...
