Thanksgiving Waste Not Contest

Thursday, November 15, 2007

Don't get me wrong Pilgrim, I love Thanksgiving. Heck, I even love turkey giblets. What a great idea to have a national holiday for giving thanks and celebrating the bounty we enjoy.

But where there's abundance, there's often waste, and that's the theme of my Thanksgiving Waste Not Contest. Give me your best tips for using it up or making it last this holiday season, and you could win a free copy of my book when it's released in January.

Whether it's your favorite recipe for turning Thanksgiving leftovers into Monday's dinner, creative ways of recycling things you have on hand into holiday decorations, or even tips for curbing your day-after-Thanksgiving shopping spree ... the more original and thrifty the better.

Post your Thanksgiving Waste Not holiday tips by December 10, 2007 and I'll announce the winner later that week.

And the Winner Is ... Are?

Monday, November 12, 2007





I almost had a flip a coin to decide the winner of the first annual Show Me Your Pumpkin Recipe Contest, but you know that always makes me nervous ... What if it rolls under the sofa or falls down a crack? In fact the decision was so tough I've selected two winners (each receives a copy of my book The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches):

For the kids: amylucille's Pumpkin Funnel Cakes
For the adults: brianchef's Pumpkin Liqueur

All of the recipes were superb, although I think I would have enjoyed the Pumpkin Pulp Facial more if I'd shaved first (still picking it out of my moustache). Thanks to everyone who entered, and all entrants will be included in a drawing for additional copies of my book when it is released in January.

Look for a new contest coming later this week.

I showed you mine, now show me yours! Favorite pumpkin recipe, that is.

Anything goes - pies, cakes, breads, soups, casseroles, you name it. In fact, the more unusual, the better. Don't forget about pumpkins seeds and rinds, too.

I'll select one or more winning recipes, and if yours is among them you'll get a free copy of my book - "The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches" - when it's released in January. And even if your recipe isn't selected, you'll automatically be entered in a drawing for free books and other Ultimate Cheapskate schwag.

Just click "Enter Contest" and send me your recipe before Halloween. I'll announce the winning recipe(s) on November 1, 2007 so you can eat your jack-o-lantern after Halloween.
