And the Winner Is…

I decided the best way to draw a winner was to write all the numbers on scraps of paper and draw from a cup.

Sounded like a good idea until I realized there were 105 of you.

I now have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from all the writing and cutting. ; )

I asked my husband to draw a number and the lucky one was #76 – Mandi Bartz!

For all those who didn’t win, I encourage you to try E-mealz for one week and see how you like it. They have free sample plans for all the menu options.

Just to clarify, the plans are for dinners only – but my husband and I always have enough left over from our ‘Low Fat Any Store for 2’ to take leftovers for lunch the next day.

**I paid for our E-mealz plan. E-mealz is not paying me to advertise for them. I honestly love their menus, love that I don’t have to think about dinner anymore, and love how much money they save me. If they ever go out of business, I’ll cry uncontrollably.**

Let’s talk about food – and a giveaway!…

If you’re anything like me, your poor family gets one of ten meals over and over… and over… and over again.

After a ten hour day, staring down the eyes of three more hours of late night work, I’ve been unable to plan any sort of decent meal.

Take on the crazy notion that I can last two months without dining out and I set myself up for disaster…

Or did I?

I heard an advertisement for E-mealz and decided to give it a shot the same day I promised my husband to say no to dining out. If you’ve never heard of E-mealz, let me give you the quick run-down. E-mealz is a weekly menu planning resource with over 28 menu options to choose from – including meals for two, meals for four, points system meal plans, and a gluten free menu (hint hint to my sister Lizzy and her gluten free child). Once a week I log on, download my menu and my shopping list, make a 30 minute trip to the grocery store, and never think about dinner again until I’m in the kitchen for 30 minutes making it each night.

The menus rotate beef, chicken, pork, fish, and vegetarian dishes and *gasp* force me to try new things.

My sister-in-law (who works late into the night) frequently comes home, drops her bags on the floor, and calls ‘What’s on the E-mealz menu tonight?!? Smells so yummy!’ as she pulls up a barstool and serves a plate.

Weird. I never heard her say that when I made turkey wraps for the 15th time in a month.

I used to spend $120 a week on food. With E-mealz, I spend around $55. I’m not trying to sound like a walking advertisement but it’s hard not to share when you’ve found something that makes a chore easy and reduces your grocery budget by 50%. Membership is only $1.25 a week!

I approached the folks at E-meals and asked them if they would be willing to donate a one month subscription to one of my readers. Not only did they agree, they donated a 3 month subscription to give away AND offered 10% off for all BloggingAwayDebt readers.

How can you win it? Leave a comment and let me know you are interested (make sure to type your e-mail address in the ‘Mail’ slot). I’ll throw all the comment names into a hat and draw a winner on Wednesday night (August 18th). The winner’s name will be posted on Thursday, August 19th.

If you don’t win but are interested in using E-mealz and want 10% off, click the link/photo below and type in the code: savemoney

Please make sure to click the link/photo so E-mealz knows where the referrals are coming from.

And, the recipe for chicken puffs? It’s an E-mealz dinner! Wrap cooked chicken and cream cheese in a reduced fat crescent roll. Cook as instructed on the crescent roll directions. It’s AMAZING!!

And the winner is…

Christy!

Seriously, this giveaway was so much fun! I put all the names in a hat and had my brother draw one. He started to ask questions then stopped.

It’s sad when your brother gets used to your particular level of weirdness and stops asking questions.

Congratulations to Christy!

A hearty thanks again to the folks at Blog2Print.com for giving away a free book.

For my fellow Bloggers…

OK, OK, so I do my best to not encourage spending BUT… this is for the bloggers out there.

If you are like me and blog on a regular basis, it’s a bit frustrating not to have a hard copy of your writing. I’ve tried printing pages, or keeping a duplicate copy in Microsoft Word, but nothing looks quite right.

One of my friends recently purchased a blog book from Blog2Print.com. Blog2Print publishes your blog to a soft or hardcover book. 20 page softcover books are only $14.95.

I was so impressed with (and jealous of) her book, I contacted the crew at Blog2Print.com. They were extremely kind, helpful, and most importantly… agreed to give away a 20 page hardcover (or softcover) book to one of my readers.

If you are interested, and you should be, leave a comment on this post. Make sure you include your e-mail address in the ‘Mail’ section so I can contact you back if you are the lucky winner. I will be taking all the entries, throwing them into a hat, and picking one on Tuesday night, June 22nd. Feel free to leave a comment to enter the drawing up until then (please, only one entry per person).

Good Luck!
