One Year Blog-Birthday!

Congrats #26 - ECWorldTraveler

Please email financefoodie [at] gmail [dot] com with your mailing address so I can send your prize! You have 3 days (72 hours) to respond or the prize goes to an alternate winner
--------------------------------------------------------------------
“Party in the USA…”

Woo Wee! Can you all (y’all) believe it? Almost one year since my first post! It’s been quite a journey for me as I went from novice blogger to…well…less of a novice blogger (at least my picture taking skills have improved).


So readers, as a way to commemorate my Blog Birthday and to thank you all for your continued support, I’ve decided to host the BIGGEST GIVEAWAY TO DATE to celebrate! The awesome folks at CSN Stores have generously agreed to partner with Financefoodie.com to send one lucky reader a (drum roll please)…

…..Breville Juice Fountain Compact Juicer (MSRP: $170: You can check out the rest of the specs here)
There are THREE ways to enter my giveaway for this sweet state-of-the-art juicer:

1. Check out CSN's site and let me know what product you think is cool in my comments section (maybe some Counter Stools or Pub Tables? You can never have too much cool bar furniture!)
2. Follow me on Twitter! (leave a separate message telling me this)
3. Retweet / reblog this contest! (leave a separate message telling me this)

Pretty sick and easy-as-pie, eh? Contest ends on November 25, 2009 (a new juicer just in time for the Thanksgiving parties!) at 5pm EST. Winner will be chosen via random number generator and announced shortly afterwards. Good Luck!

*Special thanks go out to Finance Foodie's cool and generous parents who funded initial site development, Team Finance Foodie whose stories / contributions have made the site 10x better what it could be if it were just the Finance Foodie, and all of the numerous PR firms that have made Financefoodie.com feel welcome at their events.

  2. first post?? anyways, I came across a "MMG Vintage Cornell Baseball by Penfield, Edward" (framed picture of a Cornell baseball player from early 1900s) at the site and I have it give it up for my alma mater. Kinda random for a home decoration site, but pretty awesome nonetheless.
