Last month was my first full month to have private advertisers. I must say it was an absolutely amazing experience. That might sound selfish, but I promise it’s not. You see, I took every penny of last month’s advertising income and put it into a great giveaway that benefited all my sponsors and one lucky reader!
That means that my advertisers got tons of great traffic, I was able to get some new traffic myself AND I got to give away money to someone! A win win win for everyone!
The giveaway was so successful that I decided that I’d do the same this month!
More on the giveaway later though 
I want to take this opportunity to introduce all of you to my wonderful May sponsors! They are mainly familiar faces from last month (you can read here about their experience advertising here on Family Friendly Frugality!), but we also have a few fresh faces! Be sure to stop by and thank them all for helping to support Family Friendly Frugality!
Money Saving Secrets Blog is written and owned by Jennifer. She started her blog after her husband had a stroke when her daughter was just 6 weeks old. I encourage you to read Jennifer’s About Me page if you are looking for a truly inspirational story, I admit I teared up a bit while reading it!
Jennifer’s blog has coupon matchups, hot deals, money making ideas and a lot more! Definitely go check her out!
Fun Finds for Families is a blog by my friend Alissa! I’ve known Alissa for awhile now, and she has such a great heart and so much enthusiasm! She is a mom of two and her blog is fantastic. If you’ve seen a book or a movie deal on my blog, chances are it’s because Alissa alerted me to it! Her blog is filled with great deals, book and product reviews/giveaways, family friendly activities and she recently started a series spotlighting Etsy shops (super cute ones too!). Go check out her blog and tell her hi!
Become a Coupon Queen is written by Ashley. Ashley has a great blog filled with great deals, coupons and deal matchups! I absolutely love her series entitled Coupon Virgins!

Savvy Shopper Services is a great blog about saving money and stretching your dollar! Her motto is WHY PAY RETAIL? With the help of her site, you will be asking yourself the same question! On her site you can find great deals, coupons and of course awesome freebies. Go say hi!
Confessions of a Couponer is a couponers delight! Be sure to check out her Tutorials category. She shows you how to get the most out of Target, Walgreens, CVS, Shop at Home AND Swagbucks! Jennifer is a mom of two who can’t wait to share her love of saving money with you! Go stop by and say hi!
Thirty-One Consultant Amy Horton is one of our awesome sponsors this month! Have you checked out all that Thirty One has to offer? Adorable personalized bags, totes and baskets and so much more! Be sure to contact Amy for any and all of your Thirty-One needs!
Definitely take some time to stop by each of these blogs throughout the month of May. I’m proud and humbled that they chose to advertise on Family Friendly Frugality.
The Giveaway
I want my sponsors to get as much as possible out of advertising on my site. Therefore, I wanted to do more then stick their blog button up and forget about it!
I will be holding a giveaway, and one lucky winner will win $50 Paypal Cash!
Why would I do this? I want my sponsors to love advertising on my blog. I want them to feel it’s worthwhile and not a waste of their money. As a frugal person myself, I can relate to wanting to get my money’s worth! This giveaway adds even more exposure to their blogs!
