Fortune Follies Tuesday: List and Enter Giveaways! (Plus a $5 Target Gift Card Giveaway!)

Ammouncing a new feature at Frugal Follies: Fortune Follies Tuesday, where bloggers can list their giveaways, and readers can enter them!

I'm convinced that entering giveaways is a great way to acquire things frugally. It doesn't cost anything but a bit of time, and blogs often offer great prizes to their readers. I recently won $100 in grocery gift cards in blog giveaways!

So take some time and check out the giveaways listed below. Also, be sure to check out my two giveaways ending today: $30 CSN Stores gift code and $65 in baby product coupons!

And, to start of the celebration, I have a new giveaway for today: Enter to win a $5 Target gift card! This is the gift card that I had at the end of my Target frozen food bonanza.

Joji, March 8, 2011 at 10:48 AM: I have made quite a few deals at Target since following your blog. I've aqired a couple of gift cards after these deals and plan to add this one to it and buy a new swiffer mop.
Love your blog It has helped save and learn more everyday.
Heather K, March 8, 2011 at 11:33 AM: I am not sure what I would use this on. Although usually I am selfish when I get a gc from swagbucks or a giveaway because with our "real" money I end up spending it all on the twins or my husband. Of course I could just end up buying something for them with it anyway haha. I also love your blog. I am new to all of this and it's been really informative.

Michelle, March 10, 2011 at 5:19 PM: my best Target deals have been recently. I clip tons of coupons from the Sunday paper and print them online and then bring them all in and find a young cashier who doesn't care which coupons he scans and I got $100 off last time. I had the products but he scanned more than one coupon for each product.
