I just wanted to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  I can’t believe that 2011 is almost here (honestly, I still can’t believe that Christmas has already passed either!), but this has been a very wonderful year and I am so thankful for all the wonderful blessings from this past year, including the launch of Hooked on Bargains back in May! 

I can’t believe that Hooked on Bargains has been live now for 7+ months and we’ve almost reached 400 fans!  Thank YOU for your support (especially during my constant site changes), encouragement, and comments…I appreciate you!  I hope to continue to find lots of great bargains for you in 2011 and even bring a few new bargain-hunting videos too!  I wish each and every one of you a very prosperous and bargain-filled New Year!

AND…if you’re still up and reading this blog…if you’re the first person to correctly answer this question “What was the Date AND Title of my very first Hooked on Bargains post?”…you’ll receive 2 FREE Fandango movie tickets to see Little Fockers (must be redeemed by January 3rd).  Just leave a comment on this post with your answer.

Congratulations, Nicole!!  The answer was…

Also, while I was at Target the other day, there were a lot of toys on Clearance for 30-50% off, so you may want to keep your eyes peeled!  They should be having their 75% off Toy Clearance again sometime in January…this is a great time to stock up on presents for birthday parties, Christmas, and more for the coming year!

(Thanks, Shelly!)
