24-Hour Giveaway: 7 lb. Bag of Purina Cat Chow
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
**** This giveaway is now closed.****
I have a fun giveaway to share with you today! Through midnight tonight, Purina is running a fundraising campaign for breast cancer awareness called Cat Nap for the Cause. For every Facebook fan who pledges to take a “Cat nap”, Purina will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. To help spread the word about this campaign, Purina have offered to give one lucky Super Coupon Girl a coupon for a free 7 lb. bag of Purina Cat Chow!
About Cat Nap for the Cause:
Cat Nap for the Cause invites breast cancer awareness supporters to take a 20-minute cat nap to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure this October. For each “cat napper” that signs up on their Facebook page, Purina Cat Chow will donate $2 up to $150,000 – on top of their 2010 donation of $200,000! All donations go directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Inspired by cancer survivors’ stories of the role their cats played during their battle with cancer, Purina Cat Chow first began a relationship with Susan G. Komen to honor the unique bond between cat owners and their cats. In fact, a recent Purina Cat Chow national survey of breast cancer survivors with cats showed that more than 84 percent of respondents felt their cat had a calming effect during their battle with breast cancer and nearly seven out of 10 said their cats were a source of comfort when battling the disease.
Actress Kate Walsh has teamed up with Purina Cat Chow as spokesperson for Cat Nap for the Cause! Kate Walsh is not only a breast cancer awareness supporter – her mother is a more than 10-year breast cancer survivor. Kate along with other celebrity supporters will donate personalized blankets, perfect for a cat nap, to raise awareness for the campaign. You can also register for a chance to win a celebrity Cat Nap for the Cause blanket at www.Facebook.com/PurinaCatChow.

Grocery Shopping – at The Pumpkin Patch?!
Monday, November 1st, 2010
I hope everyone had a happy Halloween yesterday! Jai and I spent the afternoon at The Pumpkin Patch in Sauvie Island. Not only do they have a pumpkin patch, but free hayrides, a corn maze, an animal barn, and more. The photo above is me wearing my Pink Power Ranger costume, getting ready to pick the perfect pumpkin!
The pumpkins were a great price – the ones we chose were only $1.00 each. The Pumpkin Patch also offers a produce market, which had a wide variety of lovely fresh produce grown at their farm. The prices were good, and since my fridge was still bare, this was the perfect time to re-stock!
Total spent: $10.15
View receipt (We paid for the pumpkins separately in the pumpkin patch, and did not get a receipt for that.)
Got:
2 pumpkins – $1.00 each, final cost: $2.00
2.97 lbs of apples – .89 per pound, final cost: $2.64
1 head of green onions – price: .50 cents
.54 lbs of red onion – .99 cents per pound, final cost: .55 cents
1 head of red leaf lettuce – price: .99 cents
6 ears of corn – I used this coupon from their website to get these 6 ears of corn for $1.00.
1 large stalk of Brussels sprouts – I’ve never seen them sold this way before! Price: $2.49
We had a very fun day – and stocking up on produce was a nice bonus!
My finished pumpkin!
How did you spend your Halloween, readers?
