H&R Block Emerald Advance Program
H&R Block has asked me to help promote the Emerald Advance Line of Credit. The prize was provided and may be shipped to the winner by H&R Block, but all opinions expressed in the post are my own and not those of H&R Block. Entrants must be 18 or older and located in the US only. Winner to be chosen at random.
Next week is Thanksgiving which means the holidays are literally just around the corner. There are so many things that pop into my head when thinking about the holidays…
* Time to dig out the decorations from the basement and have a decorating day with the kids!
* Let the kiddos start circling their wishes in the shopping catalogs.
* Start planning our holiday baking list… we like to bake for the neighbors.
* Start stalking Black Friday sales and make my list early!
* Break out the holiday scents for my Scensty warmers.
* Schedule a holiday house cleaning from the maid service (aka the older kids… I’m too busy doing everything else!)
* Check my holiday savings and hope it matches the value of the newly created wish lists!
Sound familiar to you? Yep… these activities are re-created in households everywhere.
Heck, the holiday expenses can really add up quickly, especially with a family of six. I am a sale ad stalker. Now with more and more ads being displayed online it’s even easier to comparison shop to get the best deals. Sometimes I even find an even better deal through an online retailer.
If for some unfortunate reason your holiday savings are a little lacking… there is an option for you!
H&R Block recognizes that sometimes a bit of extra money can be the difference.
H&R Block’s Emerald Advance line of credit can help make the holidays – and the entire year – more enjoyable!
