Announcing the second book giveaway contest from Simple Pleasures Press!  Throughout the month of June 2015, to celebrate the beginning of summer, we’ll be running a series of giveaway contests.  During the last week of June, there will be a Grand Prize, so you’ll want to stay tuned.  🙂

The book to be given away this week will be an autographed paperback edition of the newly re-released book, Mix-n-Match Recipe: Creative Ideas for Today’s Busy Kitchens,  by Debi Taylor-Hough.

All you need to do is submit Your Favorite Frugal Recipe in the comment section of this blog post.

Contest Rules:

1. Leave a comment on this blog page containing your favorite frugal recipe.  (Only one entry per person will count toward the contest.)  One winner will be chosen at random.
2. Be sure to fill out the email address section of the comment form so I’ll have a way to contact you if you’re the winner.  (The prize will be sent via snail mail, so when I contact the winner, they’ll need to provide a valid mailing address — but please don’t leave your snail mail address in the comment section!).

So, that’s it.  Easy peasy.

Official entries for this giveaway will close at Midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on Friday, June 12th, 2015.  At some point during the day on Saturday, June 13th 2015, I’ll choose a random number using an online random number generator.  Whoever’s entry is located at that number’s spot in the comment list will be the winner!

Remember:  You need to enter your comment and frugal recipe between Monday morning (when this blog post went live) and before Midnight of the following Friday to be eligible.    The comment section will remain open indefinitely, however — so people can feel free to share their frugal food ideas and recipes just for the fun of it — but ONLY those comments posted BEFORE midnight on Friday will be actually entered into the official drawing.

So, are you ready?

Then let’s go!   ——> What’s YOUR favorite frugal recipe?
