Hurray for Friday, hurray for freebies and hurray for another giveaway! This month’s giveaway includes the following goodies:

• 2 tickets to the Cut Your Grocery Bills in Half workshop (and food drive) I am teaching at WRAL on April 10 from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. The workshop sold out in a few days, but I have a couple extra tickets to offer to the winner of this week’s giveaway.
• 1 coupon for a free smoothie at Smoothie King from yesterday’s Groupon deal. These things look so good!
• An assortment of manufacturer’s coupons for tons of different products

To enter: leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post telling us one of the ways that you save money on utilities. Feel free to include any ideas about saving money on heating and cooling, electricity, water, cable/satellite, Internet, phone, etc. The article I posted yesterday on the blog was about 50 ways to save on utilities all around the house and I would love to hear what you do to save.

I will draw the winning entry from those who post on Tuesday morning, March 9 at 10:00 am and post the winner shortly after 10:00 am.
