This Weeks Giveaway: Greetings.stash, Kidpack.pad, & Buttonedup.coupons!

Yet again, I am so pleased to announce the giveaway for this week: a greetings.stash, kidpack.pad, & buttonedup.coupons from Buttoned Up!  I stumbled upon Buttoned Up products at my local Franklin Covey store a few months ago and I've loved their products ever since!

One of my resolutions this year was to become more organized.  It's so cliche, but I want a place for everything and everything in its place.  I want birthday gifts wrapped and ready when my kids have a party to go to, coupons all snug in their alphebetized compartments, and backpacks filled with all their goodies waiting by the door each morning.  In order to do this (okay, not all of these things in particular but some other basic organizing "stuff"), I have enlisted the help of the pros at Buttoned Up.

Buttoned Up is a company built on great principles: organize your life, but don't let it stress you out!  Delegating tasks, focusing on vital to-dos, and giving up the pursuit of perfection are just a few simple tips that can be found on their website, getbuttonedup.com.  There you'll find some amazing tips on life and the pursuit of organized happiness, a host of terrific products, and even some free downloadable forms to help you on your journey to a more cohesive lifestyle.

Here's where it starts to get fun.  Anne over at Buttoned Up has generously offered one of my lucky readers a greetings.stash,

buttonedup.coupons,

and a kidpack.pad!

The greetings.stash is a great pack of blank greeting cards to use when there's an occasion and you don't have a card- these come in handy, let me tell you!  The buttonedup.coupons are a neat little bundle of coupons you can give to a loved one - would make a great Valentines gift!  Lastly, the kidpack.pad is a tearpad list of all the things you need to remember for your child such as items to put in their backpack, sports equipment, and lessons.   This list pad is a lifesaver!

Plus, ALL of my readers get a 25% discount off a $20.00 purchase at getbuttonedup.com!  When you visit their site you'll be amazed at how easy life can become with a few simple steps (and products!).  My favorite products are the receipt.catcher (oh yeah!), habit.former, and greetings.stash.  I like how easy it's been to  organize so many facets of my busy life!

This giveaway begins today, February 1, 2010 and will end Sunday February 7, 2010 at 11:59 p.m.  Here's how you can enter to win this great giveaway:

This Weeks Giveaway: McAlisters Deli Gift Card

I am so excited to annouce this weeks giveaway: a $15.00 McAlisters Deli gift card!  McAlisters Deli is one of my favorite restaurants - they have an absolutely delicious menu.  The sweet tea is phenominal (not sure what's in it, but it's to die for!), the food is fantastic, and the cookies are mouth-watering. This giveaway will run from today until Friday, January 29 at 11:59 p.m.

My father and I recently went there to have lunch because I wanted to try out their new 500 calorie menu.  I had the Taco Salad (with veggie chili) with the chipotle chicken wrap, and my dad had the chili nachos.  I snapped a picture of my meal so you could see how AMAZING it looked, and you'll just have to trust me that it tasted even better than it looked!

The chicken wrap was filled with good-for-you things such as grilled chicken breast, cucumbers, and a spicy-sweet chipotle dressing, all wrapped in a wheat tortilla.  I've never had veggie chili before, but I can assure you, you'll never know the difference!  The chili had just the right amount of flavor, and the chips, lettuce, and cheese rounded out the meal.  This entire meal came in at under 475 calories!  WOW! 

The best thing about McAlisters Deli is that they have an extensive menu filled with flavorful, satisfying meals for the most discerning diner.  They were recently rated one of the top ten family restaurants by Parents Magazine for their healthy and inexpensive fare for adults and children alike.  No matter which location I visit, their restaurant is always clean and the staff is exceptional.  What better restaurant can you find - delicious, healthy, AND inexpensive, other than McAlisters Deli?  None!

McAlisters Deli has locations in each of the following states:

Alabama

Arkansas

Colorado

Florida

Georgia

Illinois

Indiana

Kansas

Kentucky

Louisiana

Michigan

Mississippi

Missouri

New Mexico

North Carolina

Ohio

Oklahoma

South Carolina

Tennesse

Texas

Virginia

Wyoming

Now for the exciting part.  Rebecca at the McAlisters Deli corporate office has kindly arranged for one of my readers to enjoy a meal for two at a McAlisters Deli in their town.  They are providing one lucky reader with a $15 gift card, and here's how you can enter to win:

1.  Leave a comment on this post with your email address (very important - I need to be able to contact you!)

2.  Subscribe to my blog via RSS or email (links found on home page)

3.  Shoot me an email at erica@5reasons2save.com

4. Follow me on Twitter and let me know about it here

For each way you enter, you'll get an additional chance to win.  This giveaway starts today and will last until next Friday, January 29 at 11:59 p.m.  Good luck!
