Hi everyone! Over the past few years I have developed a knack for coming across fun and exciting opportunities online. I love to share these with others, and I have often thought of creating a blog such as this to have one central location from which to share all of my finds. So, here it is! I will not bog down this blog with a lot of small gimmes, just my favorites that I deem worthy of sharing. I will update this blog every time I find something worthwhile to share and I hope you will come back often if you also find them worthwhile.

So, without further ado, I am celebrating the launch of my new blog with a giveaway! I love contests, and I hope to hold them often here at Modern Frugality.

The prizes will be as follows:

Winner #1: $15 Amazon gift code
Winner #2: $10 Party America gift card
Winner #3: $10 NBA Store gift card


Eligibility: Open only to U.S. Residents
How to enter: Simply post a comment below (post anything you want, I'm not picky!) Please be sure to have an email on file or include it here so that I have a way to contact you if you win.
Entry frequency: You may enter one time per day throughout the duration of the contest.
Duration: Contest will end on April 25, 2009 at 11:59 pm Eastern.
Winners: Three winners will be determined at random after the contest has ended. I will email the winners and announce them here. Winners must respond with mailing address within 3 days of notification or they will forfeit the prize and a new winner will be drawn.

DAILY BONUS ENTRY #1: To gain a bonus entry, post a second comment with a tip on how I can improve my website or what you'd most like to see posted here. I am not by any means an expert at creating a website, so I would love any feedback you can offer. You may gain one bonus entry per day by posting a suggestion (please make your suggestion different from day to day).

DAILY BONUS ENTRY #2: You may gain a third entry each day by posting about this contest on another website. Twitter about it, whatever, even tell someone you know in person and that will work. Post a separate comment telling me how you spread the word.

Thank you, and good luck!
