Dollar General/ P & G Everyday Heroes Prize Pack Giveaway

Dollar General giveaway

When you stop and think of every sacrifice that our military veterans make to our country, you would never be able to repay them or say thank you enough.  My husband was in the Army when we first married and as newlyweds we faced a 14 month separation due to his deployment.  It was difficult, but we made it through.  That’s just one of the many sacrifices we faced together as a military family.

Throughout the month of June, in recognition of the men and women of the U.S. military and their families, Dollar General® is teaming up with Procter & Gamble® to honor those true Every Day Heroes who have made sacrifices for their families, their communities and their country.

Dollar General truly values these heroes and their experiences and offers many career opportunities for returning veterans.  Dollar General is the winner of the 2011 Military Officers Association of America Distinguished Service Award and was recognized in GI Jobs magazine’s list of Most Military Friendly Employers.

Now, you can honor the military heroes in your life and your community: Dollar General is offering the opportunity to upload a video about your military hero to www.dollargeneral.com/everydayheroes.

Dollar General has teamed with Procter & Gamble to offer one of my readers an Everyday Heroes Prize pack, which includes:

  • Swiffer® 360° Duster
  • a set of Pringles®
  • red computer speakers
  • Old Spice® Champion Deodorant
  • Tide® sample packs 
  • Dollar General reusable shopping bag

TO ENTER:  Complete the Rafflecopter entry form below.  Each entry you complete is a chance to win.  Giveaway ends Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at  12:01 AM EST.

U.S. Only.  Void where prohibited.

I’m A Maytag Ambassador! #MaytagMoms

Posted on by Mandy

Just the other night I put on a load of clothes to wash before we went to bed.  As we were drifting to sleep, all of a sudden it sounded like our washing machine was about to lift off!  The washing machine had jumped off track and thankfully my husband knew just what to do to remedy the situation.  We’ve had this washing machine since we were married (13 years) and it was bought used, so who knows exactly how old it really is.  All I could think at that moment was that someday (and hopefully it wouldn’t be soon), our washing machine would need to be replaced and that would be quite an expense.

A few weeks ago I applied through Mom Central to be a Maytag Ambassador.  I figured this would be a long shot as I’m sure many, many other bloggers also applied, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

The best came in the form of a congratulatory email yesterday letting me know that I had been chosen to be a Maytag Ambassador.  I am still pinching myself!  It’s taken a day for this to sink in and realize that we will soon be saying goodbye and good riddance to our old washer and dryer set and hello to the Maytag Bravos XL high-efficiency top-load washer and dryer.maytag bravos

There are so many reasons why I am excited about this opportunity, not the least of which is that this set has so many great features, including a sensing system on the dryer to help evenly dry clothes and reduce the risk of shrinking and an allergen removal cycle on the washing machine. 

I hope you will follow along with me and 24 other #Maytag Moms ambassadors over the next four months as we test these appliances out and see how it changes the way we do laundry.   I’m already excited to get started on my first load!  I never thought I would have a reason to be excited about doing laundry!


I wrote this post as a #MayTagMoms Dependable Laundry Ambassador through mom Central Consulting on behalf of Maytag. I was provided with the Maytag washer and dryer set to facilitate my post.
