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. 

Today's Frugal Mom™ Website Launch

In celebration of the launch of Today's Frugal Mom™, my friend Carlie Kercheval and several of her blogging friends are giving away a Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain! One blessed person will win one of these phenomenal juicers to start the new year off right!

Today's Frugal Mom™ was created as a way for a 4th generation frugal-living mother to share her knowledge and know-how of the debt-free, frugal-living lifestyle. Carlie will share what she knows to help you as you pursue to make the most of your hard earned money. You can expect to see practical tips on how to save on groceries, amazing daily deals, frugal-living tips learned from both of her great-grandma's, and so much more. It is her hope that through this website she can help countless others gain a new perspective that will help other families achieve financial freedom and pad their savings account.

Enter to win a Breville BJE200XL

To enter, please follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter widget below. Must be 18 years of age at time of entry and have a Continental US mailing address (sorry no APO/FPO) and agree to the Rafflecopter terms.

I would love to win this juicer. I've been amazed reading labels lately at how much added sugars, corn syrups and other ingredients I cannot even pronounce are in Juices. I would love to make more natural options for my family.

I have juiced many years ago and would love to start again this new year!

January 14, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterTammy D

This is the juicer that my mother has and loves it!! My current juicer is about in need of being replaced and this is the one I've been looking at, so I would LOVE to win it.

January 14, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAdenaF

I have never had a juicer so this would be exciting! Thanks for the giveaway!

January 14, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLinda D.

I am looking for a new juicer and would love to win one to aid in my "minimal spending" month of January!!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this =)

Congrats on staying on the wagon! February might be the only month I could take on such a challenge since it's the shortest of the year. :)

January 14, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterEmily @ My Love for Words

My husband and I have been wanting to start a juice fast, and would love to get our kids drinking healthy juice, too! Just waiting for the garden to come in...

January 14, 2014 | Unregistered Commentersue

I would love a juicer because I live in Florida and have lots of fruit to juice but no juicer right now.

January 15, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMissy Glover

I would love to be able to make my own juice, the prepackaged ones get expensive!

January 15, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMegan

Figuring out the juicing thing for health is one of the things I am working on this year. This would be very helpful!

January 16, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKay @Kay's Little Korner

It's so important to watch what you spend, and so easy to fall off the wagon. Good for you for doing this with your family. They may not appreciate it now, but there will be a time when they do. 😊

January 16, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterJess Donnelly

I'd love to try a juicer!

January 16, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKim

Thinking of some fun things to try in a juicer!

January 17, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterlara

A great giveaway! I've been thinking about getting a juicer for a few months now.

January 17, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKathryn

I've been doing the Whole 30 this month and it is going well, but the best and maybe easiest way to get the kids on board with less sugary breakfasts (like muffins and waffles and such) is to get them into a morning juice made from healthy fruits and vegetables. I've been watching some documentaries about juicing on Netflix and so I'd really like to get one of these!

January 17, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAndrea

My kids love fresh fruit and veggies and this would just add such a new dimension!

January 18, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKat Aleksander

I've wanted a juicer for a long time! This would be awesome to win! We like to be healthy around here and we make smoothies a lot, but Id love the option of making juice too. Thanks for the opportunity!

January 18, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

I need to lose about 50 pounds and live a healthier lifestyle.

January 18, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterPatel

This is amazing

January 18, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterEva

We have wanted to start juicing for our daughter for a few months now. This would give us the push we need to get going on healthier options for her!
