$200 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway #back2school

in Uncategorized

giveaway Ended

While my days of back to school shopping are still far off, I know how expensive it can get as necessities and wants begin to add up whether it is your very first day of school ever or if you are heading back to start another semester of University. This is why I am delighted to be taking part in the fabulous “Back 2 School Giveaway Event” organized by MySillyMonkeys.  Over the next week or so look for more amazing group giveaways as part of this event in addition to our normal content.


What better way could there be to start off a Back 2 School event than with a $200 gift card prize to Amazon?

Think of all the cool deals you can order with such a generous gift card!

How sweet would your little one be on their first day of school in one of these adorable backpacks!

Here is a great savings tip for those heading (back) to College or University.  Amazon sells new and used textbooks!  When I was in college I saved hundreds going through Amazon rather than the College bookstore!  You can Save up to 35% on new textbooks and up to 90% off the list price of thousands of used textbook listings!
The possibilities are truly endless with Amazon!

Enter to win this $200 Amazon Gift Card by signing into the Rafflecopter form below and completing the entries.  Good luck!

Open to US and Canada. (GC will be to either .ca or .com depending on the winner.)
Closed for entries August 31st at 11:59pm.



Thank you to MySillyMonkeys for organizing this giveaway.
