…commentor number 42, Ericka!  I’ll be contacting you via email shortly to get your prize out to you, Ericka!

Don’t forget that you can use coupon code spring15 through July 31st to save 15% off your order at Suburban Tree Hugger’s cloth diaper shop!  Thanks to all who entered.

This giveaway is now closed.

Recently Jeremy and I were able to attend the Savvy Blogging Summit in Breckenridge, where I met Suburban Tree Hugger. She was so kind to give some of the expecting moms a gift bag with some of the products from her store, among which was a Fuzzi Bunz cloth diaper!

I’ve loved the idea of cloth diapering for awhile now (They’re so soft! So cute!) but I’m gonna admit I’m not ready to take the plunge just yet. So, I’m offering up a blue, one-size Fuzzi Bunz diaper to one lucky Springs Bargains reader!

Just leave a comment on this post to enter. I’ll use Random.org to pick a winner on Thursday morning at 9 AM!

And, for those of you who have taken or are going to take the plunge into cloth diapering, Suburban Tree Hugger has offered Springs Bargains readers a special discount code to use in her store through the end of July. Enter code spring15 and you’ll save 15% off your order (excluding gift certificates and bumGenius products). Shop her cloth diaper store here!

Note: By entering this giveaway you agree to the Terms and Conditions. Open to US residents ages 18 and older, minus my family members and close friends.

Giveaway time!  I’m excited to be able to feature Local Certificates as a giveaway sponsor today – their concept is totally up the bargain hunter’s alley!

LocalCertificates.com is a new website geared to help residents around the Colorado Springs region explore and experience local businesses at a fraction of the cost.  They offer substantial savings to local restaurants, bed & breakfasts, salons, spas, and more.

What do “substantial savings” mean?  How about two pitas from the Pita Pit for just $5?  That would normally cost you $13!  Or, surprise somone with a one night stay at Old Towne Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast for $45.  Oh, just a mere 80% savings.

You know those awesome cookie pizzas they sell at Great American Cookies?  Don’t pay $25.99 – buy the certificate from LocalCertificates.com and it’s just $10 for a 14-inch cookie pizza!

They’ve got lots of great local merchants, and are adding more continually.  You can view all of their current certificates and a cool map search on the Find Certificates page.  You can also track your total savings in your accounts, get directions to businesses you’ve purchased certificates for with a single click, and easily search for savings by location, price, keyword, or category.

The only thing that I can think would be better is if you could get free certificates.  But wait, you can!  Local Certificates is offering up four prizes for Springs Bargains readers!  We’ve got a grand prize of a one-night stay at The Avenue Hotel Bed & Breakfast (approx. $140 value), and three $25 certificates to your choice of Caspian Cafe, Briarhurst Manor, or Viva Salon.  That’s four total winners!

Want to win?  Here’s how to enter!

… 41 inches around or 10.25 coupons! There were five correct guesses, I’m impressed!  The correct guessers were:

• #4 Ceana
• #35 Holly
• #39 Stacy
• #61 Beth
• #76 Kristin

I used Random.org to pick the winner of the above five correct guessers and the winner of the $25 Diapers.com gift code is Kristin!  I’ll be in touch with you soon, Kristin, to get your info.

Thanks to everyone who played!  I’ve definitely never measured myself around before, it was kind of fun – especially because I don’t have a clue what I measure around when I’m not pregnant.

For those of you who asked, I’m… not-sure-how-many weeks along, and due at the end of August.  Yep, that’s as precise as I get this fourth go-round.  My midwife did give me the list of supplies to start getting ready for my homebirth, so that kind of made me realize it’s getting close.  Sort of.

And, nope, we don’t know what we’re having, won’t find out, and won’t be revealing names, either!  You may think that’s no fun, but in reality, we’re keeping all the fun to ourselves.

This giveaway is now closed.

I never take belly pictures.  I think I have two from previous pregnancies (and yes, I have three kids, so one of them doesn’t have one at all).  But, to prove that I’ll do anything for my blog readers… Here you go.

Just for fun, I’m giving away a $25 Diapers.com gift code to the person who guesses my circumference… in coupons!  Pretend you have a bunch of 4-inch coupons.  How many would it take to go around my belly?

Guess the closest and you’ll win!  You can guess to the nearest quarter-coupon (or one inch).  OK, I’ll take guesses in both coupons and inches, whichever one.  If there’s a tie, I’ll randomly choose between the correct answers.

Just leave a comment on this post with your best guess by Sunday at 6 PM!  C’mon, make me taking those uncomfortable pictures worth it and guess.

The winners of last week’s giveaway were as follows:

Laurie’s been chosen as the Springs Bargains’ Commentor of the Week!  She commented on the King Soopers post this week asking about why the math doesn’t always add up for coupons!  I should probably clarify every now and then that some stores double coupons, eh?

Laurie said she’s new to couponing, and it’s always fun to see someone new learning the ropes, so welcome to couponing, Laurie!  I’ll be contacting you via email to pass along a $10 JC Penney savings certificate that I received recently.  I hope you’re able to treat your self to something special with it.

Thanks, everyone, for reading and commenting!

Reader Helen is the commentor of the week!  She left a comment on the King Soopers post alerting us to the 34¢ egg deal – and then I promptly attributed her find to someone else when I posted it later!  So, Helen, accept my apologies for my mistake, and look for an email from me soon.  I’ll be sending you a $10 King Soopers gift card to thank you for your contributions to Springs Bargains.

Thanks to all of you for reading and commenting!  Keep sharing those hot tips and helpful hints each week – you never know who might get chosen as commentor of the week.

Sarah’s been semi-randomly chosen as the Commentor of the Week!  She commented on the tour of my vintage nursery and said:

Love, love the game board ideas. Yes, you totally inspired me to finish a little bit of decorating in my third daughters room, never really finished her room with decorating that is. poor thing. Good job.

Sarah, I’m going to be sending you a $10 Target gift card to hopefully help you finish that decorating project!  Maybe I feel a bit of sympathy for your daughter, as I’m a third-born, too.   Look for an email from me on Monday.

Thanks to everyone for your comments here on Springs Bargains!

Just a quick note that the Safeway contest winner will be announced sometime tomorrow. Due to my grandmother’s death, I’ve gotten behind on blogging this week and hope to announce the winner by tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience!

Just a reminder that purchases to be included in the Safeway savings contest must be finished today, March 16th! You have until tomorrow, March 17th to upload your savings numbers and photos.

I’ll announce the winner this weekend!  There have been quite a few awesome submissions already, but I have the feeling there are more coming.
