Congratulations to Hollho….7@comcast.net for winning ~ and thanks so much to everyone who entered (I wish I could buy each one of you a Kitchenaid!)

Isn’t she lovely?

 

So, I have a confession to make.

 

I have absolutely no self control and bought that Kitchenaid MixerThe one that I didn’t need. 

 

Yup. No. self. con. trol.

 

I stayed up last night dreaming of this thing, and when a PPP’er on Facebook mentioned the even better deal at Bed Bath & Beyond, I was totally suckered in and headed out to buy that beautiful mixer.

 

(Both the Bed Bath & Beyond deal and Amazon deal are INCREDIBLE prices ~ you’ll save more than 50% off the original price on this beauty!)

I have so little control that I couldn’t even wait to have my husband wrap it and give it to me as a Christmas gift. I thought it through, and seeing as I probably have right around sixty five Christmas baking seasons in my future (assuming I live to the ripe age of 104 ~ I have an aunt who’s 101, so it’s clearly possible, I think?) I decided that I needed to go ahead and use it now though so I wouldn’t miss a single opportunity. 😉

 

I have some guilt about this purchase (although honestly, I love it. And my husband was sweet enough to approve.) I already have a Kitchenaid that works just fine other than being a wee bit smaller, and I know there are so so so many people who have so little. (So why on earth do I need a bigger Kitchenaid?)  Splurging for myself on this just seems beyond ridiculous, but goodness I do love it already. (Is that terrible? I struggle so much with when it’s okay to splurge and when to give more!)

 (Best Ever Chocolate Cookie Recipe)

 

So, to ease my guilt just a bit, I decided to share exactly the same Kitchenaid with one of you. (WOOOHOOOOO!)

 

Tomorrow night at 10 PM Eastern Time, I’ll pick one ever-so-lucky PPP reader to get this just so beautiful-wonderful-make-me-so-happy mixer so you can feel just a wee bit like Martha Stewart too. (Or Paula Deen. Whoever you choose.) 😉

  18. MelissaM says

    I am an unemployed mother of two. A friend sent me to your page and I use you to save every money I can as I try to get by. I watch your Freebie section like a hawk. It lets me do fun little extras for my kids that I normally couldn’t afford. Free Redbox grabs, a letter from Santa and apps to keep them busy. Thank you for all the work you do. Crossing my fingers for a little win for me for the holidays! Merry Christmas.

  19. Melisa Harker says

    I just found your site, however I am now a follower and after scrolling I’m pretty excited to find some deals. Plus, I am pretty sure I’ll be making that PB fudge 2nite!

  20. LaDonna says

    Saved on many, many things throughout the years. I even attended a coupon seminar you hosted at Asbury United Methodist Church a few years ago. Of course, you still lived in Alabama then 🙂

  21. Angela says

    I just found PPP today off of someone else’s post. I joined you on pinterest, pinned your cookie recipe, liked your FB page and shared it on my FB page. I would love to win this for a friend. Looking forward to saving money on the things you share.

  22. Beth L says

    I don’t even know where to start. I’ve saved on groceries and multiple Amazon orders. A lot of kids birthday presents that I’m able to keep on hand like need guns for those birthday parties that just pop up and you normally wouldn’t be prepared for. I have the artisan kitchen aid mixer and make so many big batches that it shakes and shimmies. Ha. This would be wonderful but thank you for all the penny pinching advice.

  23. casey says

    I have saved alot at my favorite grocery store Publix with your coupon lists and I have also gotten many online deals that i have seen on your site but other sites have missed. Thanks for all that you do and happy holidays!

  32. Marla Hearne says

    I follow PPP through Facebook as Marla Hearne and on Pinterest as Marla’s Morsels, which is a work from home, cottage foods operation I just recently started after the birth of youngest son (who is 12 weeks old) Things are still in the process of getting ironed out but I will say it would be AMAZING to be able to mix my breads up with something like this instead of by HAND!!! I’ve never had a mixer lol I can only imagine how much easier life could be!!
    Followed all your instructions for Facebook and Pinterest…FINGERS CROSSED!! 🙂

  33. Jami says

  36. Pam says

    I just found your website a couple of days ago and have already saved on the homemade dishwasher detergent. I have a large family and am always running the dishwasher and looking for ways to “stretch” that dollar. Thanks for the many tips, coupons and so forth. Thanks for the opportunity to win the kitchen Aide Mixer.

  37. Tracey says

    I’ve saved on milk and toilet paper. Never shopped Walgreen, CVS, or Rite Aid before following your site. My husband lost his job a few months ago so you have been a HUGE blessing to us. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your posts on frugal living so you can afford things like trips with your kids. Thanks for doing the give away! Also follow on Facebook.

    I have been following you on facebook and pinterest. I pinned your cookie recipe and commented on both pinterest and facebook. Love this site, but hoping to win a kitchen aid as well

  41. Sharon Kenney says

    Ciao from Italy. Stationed in Naples. Italy. this would be perfect for all the TROOP and local cookies I make for the service men & women. Thank you

  42. Kaeli says

    I have saved on so many things after following you…I love your amazon deals! I also follow you on FB! And I have so been wanting one of these mixers, it would be so wonderful to win one for the holidays (otherwise, I am back to trying to locate one at a garage sale). 🙂 Merry Christmas!

  43. Stephanie H says

    Hi Laurie, I am new to PPP by about 2 months now. I cannot begin to express how helpful your posts to FB have been for me. I share them constantly. I have saved on so many things from the imaginarium giraffe trio toy set at Toys R Us to using Amazon Prime/mom/subscribe & save combined to save on diapers & wipes delivered STRAIGHT to MY DOOR! WOOT! I found you while on maternity leave with my 2nd child and with my stepson and husband… I have a total of 4 kids. 😉 I just followed your Pinterest boards and here’s the link to your fave cookie recipe http://pinterest.com/pin/56928382765472779/
    I even have my coworkers and family following you now. Lol. My mom got the Amazon deal for a baby outdoor swing just last week… It’s wonderful having a resource likes yours and I’d love to win the Kitchenaid stand mixer since my husband failed to take advantage of the link I sent him of your post on how to buy it at Kohls marked down including a rebate & kohl’s cash & Ebates money back…. Men! 😉 Thanks for all you do!

  44. Lana Hagood says

    Beautiful mixer…so happy you splurged!

    I have saved in so many ways through the years. I estimated about $1,500 the first year you started your site (remember Publix penny pitcher?) Those were the days, free Thanksgiving turkeys, Publix chicken breast for .49 per pound, steals and steals! Some of the best days were the $5 off 20 dollars at Publix and how easy they were to get our hands on.

    One of favorite savings have been the Christmas card deals you have posted through the years.

  45. Brianne Umberger says

    I have saved so much on household items and groceries. I’m still a beginner on saving money, but your website has definitely helped me (thank you!).

  46. Mippy/Sabrina says

    Hi! I am a brand spankin’ new fan/follower, so I haven’t searched your site out yet. But the deals alone for the Kitchen Aids…priceless. I covet one of them…lol

  47. Jenn says

    Target deals and paper products on amazon! I am totally struggling to with buying the new kitchen aid. My grandma bought me mine as a wedding gift 20 1/2 years ago. It still runs great but I would love one that holds more. I bake bread about twice a week and usually some sort of treat! So would love the new one! I may just have to give in and get one! Maybe I’ll win:)

  48. Stephanie gilbert says

    Love your post. Saved a bunch on amazon deals,scored some great video game deals. I alo follow on facebook

  49. Hillary Seymour says

    i am failing at this already! Leaving comments in the wrong section 🙂 anyways you saved my on Christmas toys for my kids off Amazon!! And I love the choc chip cookies!!! I have had them pinned for a while now 🙂

  50. Shannon C says

    I have saved most at Publix thanks to all you have taught me. You always keep us posted on great deals throughout the year and at Christmas it really helps to know you are posting some of the best deals around.

  51. Sharon Shepherd says

    I promise you that I pinned that yummy looking cookie recipe but don’t know how to link to it lol. I am Bullytwin on pinterest and I pinned it to my board Desserts! 🙂

  52. Elizabeth says

    Been a facebook follower for years too!!! Seriously almost bought this exact mixer last night… just can’t quite fit it into the budget 😉

  53. MMK says

    Oh, my goodness, your site made me into a couponer! I never though I’d have time or the patience, but I started reading your site, started shopping CVS and RiteAid, and have enough of a stockpile now that I’m giving away to others. Just sent a box to the food bank last week. 🙂 Other than free personal items and great diaper deals, I’ve bought amazon toys, kohls deals like the small appliances around black Friday, and toys. i even got a couple sets of storage racks through you to put all this stuff on. Thanks so much for sharing these deals with us!

  54. Nicole Gonzalez says

    I’ve saved on a lot of items. My most recent being the Step2 kitchen from Kohl’s that was listed this morning! I saved even more because I had some Kohl’s cash already available for me to use on the purchase!

  55. Julie says

    Wow! She is a sleek beauty, no? Well, I saved countless $$$ at the grocery store and Fry’s. Look forward to your daily email. Thanks for all you do!!

  57. Anne Frye says

    I have saved in so many ways since connecting with you all. One recent savings that comes to mind was during thanksgiving week. You were posting info about lightning deals at amazon and I was able to purchase a new seeing machine at a great price. Thanks for all you do!

  58. Shannon says

    I’m already a Facebook fan, I followed you on Pinterest, and pinned the cookie recipe. Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

  60. Monica Krempasky says
