Did you know that Saving with Shellie celebrated it’s first anniversary on Januray 1? That’s right, I launched my site January 1, 2009 as a New Year’s Resolution to keep me accountable on my money saving journey.
There are a small handful of you out there who have been reading my blog since day one. I am so very grateful for you “early adopters” but I’m just as thankful for those of you who have tuned in along the way.
Just to show my appreciation for all the support over the past year, I’m hosting 7 Days of Giveaways from Jan 4-10. Tune in every day for a new giveaway offer.
Throughout the year I have received thousands of emails and comments from all you encouraging me. Not to mention all the support I’ve received over the past year.
Since so many of you warmed my heart this past year, I thought I’d take this opportunity to warm yours (literally!) Today’s giveaway will have two winners. Each will get a $10 Starbucks gift card.
Ready to win? As usual there are 3 methods of entry:
1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite splurge at Starbucks. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but I do love their hot chocolate.
2. Subscribe to Saving with Shellie via RSS feeds, email or Facebook. If you already subscribe, leave a second separate entry saying you do so. One of my goals this year is to get over 1000 fans so if you haven’t already become a fan on Facebook, now would be a great time!
3. Follow me on Twitter and feel free to Tweet about the giveaway. Be sure you leave a separate entry with your Twitter address.
All “7 Days of Giveaways” offers will end Tuesday 1/12 at 11:59pm. I’ll announce all winners on Wednesday 1/13.












Shellie loves to share her frugal finds to help you get more with less. A spender at heart, she balances her frugal lifestyle with the occassional splurge.

Best Spluge at Starbucks is their mugs! They hold up to the toughest elements and keep my tazo iced teas cold for hours.

My favorite splurge at Starbucks is a peppermint mocha at Christmas time. They only offer it once a year, so it’s a time when I can sit back, relax, and try not to feel so bad spending $4.00 on a beverage!
I love the holidays when they have the caramel apple spice cider, but my regular favorite is a Caramel mocca frappuccino on ice- yummy!

I haven’t actually ever been to a Starbucks! (blushing) But I have family who absolutely loves coffee, so I try to give them any coffee things I can find. I do, however, love hot chocolate, and you said that Starbucks is good, so that would probably be my favorite. Thanks for this giveaway, and congratulations on your One Year Anniversary!!
