Giveaway Time!: Although I usually do a Friday Freebies giveaway on the first Friday of the month, this month the giveaway is this week! Thanks to WRAL, I have 10 tickets to the Junior League of Raleigh's Shopping Spree event held October 21 - 24!

The tickets are good for all 4 days and usually cost $10 each. BUT - because you are a WRAL Smart Shopper reader, you get a chance to score some tickets for FREE!

I am giving away 5 sets of 2 tickets so there will be 5 winners on this giveaway.  To enter, share a frugal holiday shopping tip at the bottom of this post.

I will randomly choose the 5 winners on Sunday, October 17 at 2:00 pm and I'll plan to post the winning names by 3:00 pm Sunday on the blog. I want to mail out the winning tickets on Monday afternoon so please check the blog by Monday morning to see if you won. Also, check your e-mail because I will e-mail the winners (check your spam box as well).

Here are some details on the event:

Dates: Thursday October 21 - Sunday, October 24

Location: Raleigh Convention Center

No charge for children under 5

There will be over 140 exhibitors from across the country selling jewelry, clothes, home decor, gifts and more. For the hours, daily schedule of events and exhibitor list, click HERE.

Good luck winning the tickets!
