Cheap spring cleaning tips / $500 cash giveaway

We've got a great giveaway going on below, but first, I wanted to share some great tips to save on your spring cleaning!

Make your own cleaners! There are lots of great resources on the Internet about how to make your own cleaners for the fraction of the price of commercial cleaners. Here are just a few:

Watch for sales on cleaning supples! For instance, Publix often has a Spring Cleaning sale in March or April, with great prices on cleaners.

Check the drug stores! Drug stores often have great deals, especially if you combine the sales with coupons and use the store's rewards program, such as Extra Care Bucks at CVS or Balance Rewards at Walgreens.

And of course, use coupons! Here are a few online printable cleaning supply coupons that are currently available:

Now that you've learned some tips about spring cleaning, it's time to move on to the giveaway!

You can win $500 cash from Rather-Be-Shopping.com, a great source for coupon codes and free shipping codes! Thanks so much for sponsoring this giveaway!

This giveaway is open worldwide. Prize delivery is paid via Paypal. To enter the giveaway please use any of the entry options on the Rafflecopter. If you are drawn as the winner, we will verify the appropriate entry action has been completed. Winner will be contacted via e-mail. To claim your prize you must respond within 48 hours.
