It’s been a while since I offered a giveaway contest here at Frugal Dad.  I’ve been playing around with a site called CafePress.com where you can brand your own items, and I have to say that of all the things I’ve ordered for my own personal use, I like this canvas tote bag the most–I even had to order two more for my wife and my mom.

One of our custom tote bags makes a great companion to take along on trips to the grocery store (save a few plastic bags while you’re at it), to the library to stock up on great reads, or even to work with lunches packed, a change of clothes for the gym, etc.  The “frugaldad.com” logo goes along with you to remind you to “be frugal” throughout the day!

Entering the contest is simple–just leave a comment on this post and check back next Saturday, November 1st (sorry, you won’t have this in time for trick or treating!).  I’ll select THREE lucky winners using the site random.org and ship out your FrugalDad.com tote bag.*   Be sure to fill in your email address where asked when submitting the comment so I’ll have a way to contact you if you are a lucky winner.  Comments will be closed at 11:59pm the night of October 31st (Eastern time).  Winners will be announced the following day.  Good luck!

*Contest available to U.S. residents only

Courtney (commenter #9) has won an autographed copy of The Ultimate Cheapskate’s Road Map to True Riches! Congratulations, Courtney! This being the inaugural giveaway at Frugal Dad, I wasn’t sure what kind of turnout to expect, but in the end 70 readers submitted an entry for the drawing.

I know this leaves 69 of you disappointed – if I had 70 copies of the book I’d send one to each of you! However, the book is relatively inexpensive at just over $10 at Amazon.com. Thanks to all who participated in the book giveaway. I’m working through a couple other books now, and have some other prize ideas for another upcoming contest.
