$50 Your Way Giveaway! July 2024
Happy July Little Peanuts!!! Yup, this is the same $50 giveaway I have hosted each month for years. My first solo giveaway was in September of 2012! I started with just a $10 giveaway. Then I moved the prize up to $35 and eventually the giveaway became a $50 prize.
If you’re new here I hope you will join us often. To my most awesome, amazing followers who have stuck with me for years, THANK YOU! I’m so happy to see you again.
The first part of my $50 giveaway post is always a recap of the previous month. So, if this bores you feel free to scroll to the end. The Giveaway Tools widget is below. YES! I said Giveaway Tools. It’s back. Ahhhh you didn’t have to stand and applaud. BUT, thank you, thank you, thank you.
June was awesome! Both of my cataract surgeries were a HUGE success. (You can watch a cataract surgery video. It’s not the doctor or even the clinic I went too, but it’s still really cool) I can see the first thing in the morning with no contacts and no glasses!! I CAN SEE!!!!
Aftercare of cataract surgery took most of the month. Follow up visits. Down time and all that stuff SO, my update is boring. No crafting. Nothing exciting on the mountain. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo lets just do the giveaway shall we??
Now for the REAL reason you are here!!
Giveaway Time!
This Giveaway spiel is the exact same as last month, the month before and the month before that! The year before and well, you get the idea.
I am truly thankful and feel blessed that you continually stop by.
The Rules
A little of the blah blah blah stuff: This giveaway is open worldwide for PayPal, Venmo, and Amazon. Any GC that you think would work worldwide, I’m willing to try. This giveaway is $50 US.
This is a giveaway hosted by me alone.
I NEVER ask for anything except where to send your prize. My email is Connie@peanutbutterandwhine. I have found that saying congratulations in the subject line causes emails to go to spam. So, I will usually say. HEY it’s Connie. Guess WHAT? Or something similar.
I hope you will come back often, stay around for a while, look at more than one page, it really helps me. Of course, any extra clicks on advertisements is always appreciated. Purchasing through my blog does not cost you any additional money!!
YOU GUYS!!!
I do make a small commission which means I can continue to host (OKAY PEOPLE!! How come no one mentioned in the PAST giveaway spiels… it SAID HOSE?!?!?! tsk tsk… little peanuts! TSK TSK!!) the $50 Giveaways.
There are tons Of Ways to Enter The $50 Your Way Giveaway!! Comments!! I LOVE COMMENTS and SHARING!! Hint hint!! You also get extra entries for sharing.
Every once and awhile I may add a new entry so be sure to double-check occasionally. Those entries may pop up at any time during the month. Usually in the form of a comment on a certain post.
GOOD LUCK!!!

A book I have wanted for a while came in on. my Libby app. And it asked me to reconfirm my library card, and I can’t find it, so I can’t start reading that book until Friday when the library reopens and I can have another card issued. Ugh. I just finished reading Isaac’s storm last night about the Galveston Hurricane. It was amazing that weather can be so deadly but a hard read for the same reason.
Madison Mae
I’ve been collecting vintage jadeite glassware because the soft greenish color pops well in my kitchen.
Jenn fike
So I guess I have been recently collecting vintage pyrex pieces and corning wear. They write literally don’t make pyrex like they used to.

So today was INCREDIBLY humid and hot but I did get outside briefly and put the wedding down on 2 of my flowerbeds, got the garden misters going, watched the automower do his thing for a bit and just finished baking a blueberry pie ( though I think my shortening is bad so the crust won’t taste right) . I’m going to my dad’s tomorrow for a4th of July cookout and to pick my girls up from spending a few days there.
Crystal Smith
We collect stickers, pacthes and pins for our backpack from places we have visted and trips we’ve taken. My husband also has a pretty impressive Hot Wheels collection 🙂

It rained all night and is very humid and chilly today. I woke up late so must hustle to get on track. It will be a good day.
heather
The wildfire is still going here even though they have lifted the level two evacuation. I am worried because this week is going to be stupid HOT here 113 degrees on Saturday! I miss the spring season! The older I get the more I hate the summer months. I do not like baking my ass off and I miss the rain. Other than all that, I am having a nice day. Going to fill up the hummingbird feeders in a little while before it gets tooooooooo HOT outside!
Michele Soyer
Well thank goodness we were spared beryl and praying for the people of Jamaica… Went out to all the shoppes yesterday to do a bit of shopping and got back in… More tropical weather coming so ready to settle in…this time of year the storms just keep on rolling from off the coast of Africa…Eggplant on the menu then my book…

Having a good day. Just finished watching Star Wars Episode lll with my family.

It’s been one of those restless days for me. Happens now and then, when you feel like you ought to be doing something, but you have no idea what.
gloria patterson
I forgot to say what I collect………….. I used to collect Vintage Costume Jewelry
I have necklaces, earrings, braclets, pins…………………. Have not bought any in years. But I keep seeing on facebook where somepeople take the pins and make a picture in a shadow box. I have a couple of pictures I was going to copy but never got around to it.
When I worked I wore a lot of the stuff that I collected but anymore not so much.
Nice day, comfortable. Made a trip to walmart and to krogers to pick up prescreptions
Polly Hall
It’s a rainy day here so I have just been working in the house

Did a Costco run with my oldest grandson. He likes to get the pizza,
Kate Sarsfield
My morning started thus: took a blast of my inhaler, something solid hit the back of my throat, coughed it up. It was an EARWIG!!! ALIVE!!! Well, that woke me up. The electricity was off most of the day & I was cold so I went back to bed & slept for 5 hours! Ah well.
gloria patterson
Kate there is no one else like you …………………. ROFLMAO
Tamra Phelps
After hacking out an earwig, you deserved a long nap, lol!!
heather
OH MAN!!! That is terrible! I hate earwigs I saw one once on my toothbrush and I’m still not over it!!!!
l p
the day is going well. there are lots of matters to which to attend today. so far things are positive. looking forward to a cup of tea and some reading later. thanks
Connie: The Head Peanut
Sounds like a great day to me.
Elizabeth
We’re apparently getting the heat wave starting today, eek…
Connie: The Head Peanut
Mother Nature has been so weird here! Yesterday I had my electric throw on my lap. I could not get warm!
heather
My day is off to a nice start so far. Just getting ready to feed my cat she likes to have her canned food heated up in the microwave for 13-14 seconds. She is spoiled and I love it! Thank you again for going back to this form it is so wonderful.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Heather WE HAVE a spoiled furbaby too! Bear likes her food heated up and with an egg. We do love our fur babies. You are very welcome for the old form.
Jennifer Wilson
We went to a Goodwill Outlet on Saturday, and another today. Our car is packed. I need to get the hubby to bring stuff in so we can get listing on eBay. 🙂 I’m absolutely beat from all the shopping, though. I could barely walk yesterday, and I don’t know how well I’ll be able to walk tomorrow, but man I found some great stuff!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I LOVE a GOODWILL shopping day!! FUN!!
Jennifer Wilson
What do I collect? Well, I travel so much that I decided I have to decide what to collect because otherwise souvenirs would cost too much (ha! Starbucks mugs went up to $18 each. That is what we spent most on other than gas when we drove cross country a few years ago.). So Starbucks Mugs and pressed pennies are my travel collections. I have so many Starbucks mugs I have a spreadsheet that I give to my family when they are traveling because they can get me a gift that I will love. You can only buy the place ones IN THAT PLACE. Like I can’t buy a New Mexico mug in West Virginia. (Although I did buy the new WV mug today.)
I also collect stickers, esp from the 1980s. I still have my collection from when I was a little girl. I also love anything with guinea pigs on it, and as many craft supplies as I have, I guess you could say I collect those too. LOL
Connie: The Head Peanut
Jennifer if you and I lived close together we would absolutely be BFF’s. I love all those things. Alice collects pressed pennies so I try and remember to grab her ones when we go places. Hummmmm now that she is 13 I’m going to have ask if that is still a thing.
Maureen
It was absolutely beautiful weatherwise here today. Perfect.
Connie: The Head Peanut
We have dark skies heading our way. It was sure pretty earlier. IF the weatherman can be trusted we should have a pretty day tomorrow.
Maureen
I collect the German Christmas Nutcrackers.
Connie: The Head Peanut
MAN!! NOW I miss that old form! I would have loved to see a picture of that collection.
stacyt
I collect vintage glass & pottery.
KaLei
Somehow Monday always ends up being a clean-up day. So that’s what I’m up today.
Connie: The Head Peanut
RIGHT!?!? I think that’s why Mondays get such a bad rap. LOL!
KaLei
I collect demi-tasse sets.
Connie: The Head Peanut
KaLei, I had to Google demi-tasse sets. I had never heard that term. I see why you would collect them.
Natalie
I used to collect Beanie Babies and stuffed animals and the state quarters but I don’t collect much anymore.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Natalie, OHMYGOSH!! I forgot I use too as well. There is a huge box in the storeroom. Those will be surprises (along with MANY other boxes of TREASURES) when I pass and my kids have to go through boxes and I CERTAIN say “WHY!?” AND “WHAT?!?” AND I a so sure there will be “Was she going insane?” So many, different collections of weird things. That just makes me LAUGH!
Natalie
I am on call for jury duty this week but was not called in today. I had a good day at work though!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I haven’t been called for jury duty in years and years. Ohhhhhhhhh ya know, now that I typed that, the universe……. yep!
Tamra Phelps
I guess the things I really collect are books. That seems to be what I can’t get enough of and rarely part with, lol. I also like pigs. Ceramic pigs, wooden pigs, pigs on things…
Connie: The Head Peanut
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tamra!! YOU and ME!!! OHMYGOSH!! We continue to be in sync. I collect pigs BECAUSE I always said I would move out of California when PIGS FLY!! So naturally……… my family……. FLYING pigs everywhere. ALONG with a treasured hand carved wooden pig that son Zachary made me when he was in the 5th grade. (He’s 44 now!)
Tamra Phelps
Aw, Connie, I got a giggle out the ‘hose/host’ mix up, lol. I hope your feller has a good birthday!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Tamra, I know y’all are so gracious about my spelling. I love you guys. That one though… it’s been on there (I cut and paste that part month after month) FOR A VERY LONG TIME! LOL Cracked me up!
Leslie Price
I collect art and wood carvings from my travels. (Thank you for going back to this giveaway form!!)
Connie: The Head Peanut
Leslie, you are very welcome. Art and wood carvings would be an excellent collection to have.
Elizabeth
I don’t actively COLLECT for collection’s sake anymore, but I find hard to resist: books, records, clothing with record or cassette designs on them, San Jose Sharks memorabilia, stickers, Japanese stationery, Lego minifigures, anything Muppet-related, Totoro and Snoopy stuff. Oh, dear…
Connie: The Head Peanut
Elizabeth, THAT made me laugh. Yup, that’s a lot of collections. LOL Lego minis! I love those too.
Elizabeth
Lots of traffic issues coming this week, so maybe I won’t have to flee much?
gloria patterson
Another strange weather day at 4:03 pm it has just got to 71 tomorrow they are calling for 89
The TV in the bedroom dies awhile back and I just didn’t bother to replace. Finally decided I needed a newone in there. Ordered only got a 32 in was big enough for me. Smart TV would work off my wifi. Setting it up I had more problems……. long and short I was typing a lower case letter should have been a capital!!!
Connie: The Head Peanut
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Gloria, we do that same thing. I am so glad you got it fixed though. How is Little Miss’s babydoll collection going?
gloria patterson
Last time she was here ……………. sat down at my laptop — WHAT THE PASSWORD???
She is getting better she now knows how to get on amazon. BUT not sure how to get to where she wants to go. This time she wants bunkbeds for her babies…………………… big bucks SO NO
Kate Sarsfield
Happy July, Connie! Great to hear about the 2nd cataract op going so well. You won’t know yourself!
I was scheduled to have my loft insulated tomorrow but the electric company has decided to turn us off for maintenance, so there’ll be no power for most of the day. Hopefully it’ll happen soon. No other news other than the usual rain …
Connie: The Head Peanut
Kate you are a bottomless well of patience. I would have been screaming. I hope the insulation happens soon.
Rain here too. I’m really over the rain. I would like PROOF that the sun still is in the sky. VISUAL proof.
l p
thank you for returning to the earlier form. hopefully it will behave better and you get an appropriate refund for the previous one. thanks for doing that – and all the time you spent making things work for us.
Connie: The Head Peanut
You are very welcome. No refund. I did ask. I glanced over the refund within 14 days blah blah blah on the page. Oh well. Lesson learned.
l p
at this point in time, I’m collecting dust bunnies. they don’t eat much but my goodness they breed quickly! thanks
Connie: The Head Peanut
OHMYGOSH I almost spit my coffee on the computer screen! YOU crack me up!! I needed that.
l p
the day is going well. it’s my favourite day of the week – baking bread. the place smells glorious. I’m so happy to see the ‘old’ form back. thanks
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ohhhhhh baking bread. I can almost smell it. YUMMMMMMM
Shelly Peterson
I collect mugs.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Shelly, ME TOO!! WAyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back Starbucks use to have these chunky ceramic mugs I LOVE them. I have forbid The Husband to even LOOK at that cupboard because I love them so much! He’s not allowed. LOL
Shelly Peterson
Happy birthday to your husband. Thank you for going back to this giveaway form.
heather
I like to kind of collect bags. I love me a good tote bag, purse, duffle bags, grocery bags just like bags always have.
Connie: The Head Peanut
PURSES! I have such a weakness for a good handbag. THEN I moved to Idaho. I haven’t carried a purse in forever. I have a small card wallet. That’s all I use. My poor beautiful handbags.
I decided last month to use one of those bags and my GF said “WAIT!! ARE you carrying a PURSE!?!?”
gloria patterson
When I worked I also collected hand bags……………. you name the color, style I had it. And I changed bags almost ever day.
When I retired I would carry the same purse all the time. Finally got them all togetherr and gave to my nieces and they almost fought over them. Most of them were big designer bags.
heather
My day is off to a nice start so far. Happy July to you all. I am just thrilled and dancing a jig because the old form is back. This form is so much easier on my eyes and easy to use it is my favorite giveaway form by far. We have been taken off the level two evacuation notice due to the wildfired but the fire is still raging so I am staying packed just in case the wind kicks it up and out of control again.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Heather you are very welcome.
I am SO Happy that the level two evac has been cancelled. How’s the fire containment going? God bless our firemen and women.
Polly Hall
Day is going well looking forward to dinner and cards with the girls this evening. It is so nice to have someone else cook dinner for me.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I would LOVE a good girls night. I hope you had a great time.
