    Last year the nice folks at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx were nice enough to send us some $25 gift cards so that I could go and do some last minute Christmas shopping and then write about my”frugal shopping trip“. I went on my shopping trip the day before Christmas, and I got a ton of stuff for $25.  I was impressed with just how much stuff you could get at their stores for such a minimal amount.

    As part of the promotion we also gave away a $25 gift card to one lucky reader to go and get some last minute gifts for themselves.  Who wouldn’t love getting $25 in cash to spend at Marshalls or T.J. Maxx? (one of my favorite frugal places to shop by the way)

    The giveaway was so popular last year that we decided to do it again! We got in contact with the good folks at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx and they kindly said they would sponsor a giveaway again this year.

    Additional “Join The Carolers” Contest

    While you entering my $25 gift card giveaway, you may want to think about entering the contest that Marshalls and T.J. Maxx is holding this Christmas season, the YouTube “Join The Carolers” contest.   Prizes include 15 $100 gift cards in addition to a $5000 shopping spree.  From the YouTube site:

    You can sing any of the four carols for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

    The best rendition from either of the original carols, “Deck Yourself Out” and “We Wish You a Better Way To Christmas Shop”, will win a $5,000 gift card from Marshalls and T.J. Maxx.

    You may enter once per carol. Good luck!

    I’m not sure that I’m over my stage fright enough to put my rendition of Deck The Halls out there, but if you’re a bit bolder than I am, give it a shot!
