Hello there, Facebook friends. As an extra special thank you for “liking” Kosher on a Budget on Facebook, I’ve made today’s giveaway open only to you!
(If you missed the first three giveaways, you can catch them here: KosherWine.com, Shalom Sesame DVDs and Grow & Behold Chicken.)
In my opinion, this giveaway maybe the sweetest of all! A $30 Gift Certificate to Oh Nuts.
Now, I have a confession to make. Before I started this blog, I had never heard of Oh Nuts. Yes, I know. But I live in Kansas, in my defense.
Then in December, my son’s first grade teacher was making a HUGE deal about this AMAZING chocolate that she ordered for our kids’ Chanukkah presentation.
The kids’ presentation was good (thanks for asking), but the chocolate…. well, it was incredible. It was this stuffed pretzel type thing, that had hazelnut inside and then a hard chocolate shell on the outside. (I’m making myself crave chocolate just typing this.)
As you can imagine, when the good folks at Oh Nuts offered to give one of my readers a $30 gift certificate, I was all over it. (And I only spent like 2 seconds trying to figure out how I could rig the contest so my husband would win and I would get to keep all the chocolate for MYSELF.)
If you are the winner, you can feel free to use your $30 toward a Mishloach Manot for Purim. (They even have a section in their Purim Store with FREE SHIPPING – and y’all know how I feel about FREE SHIPPING.)
But really, the sky’s the limit. Well, $30 actually. But you know what I mean. The winner can take their thirty smackers and buy whatever Oh Nuts deliciousness floats their boat.
So, I’m guessing you’d like a chance to win today’s giveaway, yes?
Today there is just one entry per person. Just leave a comment on this post – say hi, tell me your life story, describe your favorite chocolate treat… whatever you want, just leave ONE comment.
Entries on this – and the rest of my Purim giveaways – will end on Sunday, March 13 at midnight. I will announce all the winners on Monday morning!
All winners will be selected randomly. Each person can win only once during the week-long Purim Giveaway.

Disclaimer: Oh Nuts will provide one $30 gift certificate to one of my readers. Neither I nor my family have not been compensated in any way for my positive opinions of their very yummy chocolate pretzel hazelnut things.
Just recently found your blog. It is not what I thought it was going to be about….but I am really enjoying it.
Thank you for all of the effort you put into this blog. LOVE IT!!!!

OKC, OK
Me Shenechnas Adar Marbeen B’Simcha! May the month of Adar bring you and your family lots of joy and happiness.
Thanks for all of your giveaways!
I hardly ever win raffles, Chinese auctions etc. but it’s worth a try!!
A Freilichin Purim!
Thanks for the giveaway! And boy do I love chocolate, so this would be a great prize!
I’d love a pick me up after being stranded at the side of the road last night by a tire eating pot hole that ate both my tire and rim. Regardless, I love you blog!
And I’m nuts about you!!!! Chocolate, nuts, free – 3 words I love to here!
(love to hear here, I meant!)
I’m really enjoying your blog.
I love reading your blog. I started using CVS extra care bucks thanks to your blog, and I feel so good after I save money with them.
I haven’t entered a giveaway yet, I figured this would be a good one to start with. Oh Nuts is a great store, been there a few times and had so much fun picking out candies and chocolates.
love your blog!! I’m not that big of a chocolate fan (gasp!) but my family is & would make good use of this GC if we won 🙂
This is a great web site. I’ve learned quite & bit & benefited from the coupons. I can’t always use some of them because we don’t have young children in our house any more but I have saved money & I appreciate that.
Thanks for the giveaway! I’d love to get some hamantaschen from them!
was confused and almost missed the password in my newsfeed! thanks for all the giveaways!
I love your blog – I find it very very helpful and useful!
love the blog. slightly obsessed with it.
Hi. My name is Ilana, and I am a chocoholic 🙂
Oh, Mara, we’re all nuts for you, too!
Just putting my name into the hat. Happy Purim!
Love your blog!
Chocolate dipped hamantashen….now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
A freilichen Purim!
Love your blog! It’s so helpful! And love Oh! Nuts!
I’m entering this giveaway, but I don’t want to eat the chocolate! I’m trying to loose a few lbs!!!!
My family LOVES Oh Nuts because that’s where we get our chocolate turkeys for Thanksgiving!
I’ve been following you for a few months now and I am always interested in all that you post. Thanks for doing the giveaways.
Yum chocoolate! (and nuts!)
I don’t remember getting any of that chocolate – was it a 1st grade exclusive? 🙂 This is my entry, btw.
I’m a chocolate addict!
I love your blog. And my hubby would love the nuts. And who doesn’t like chocolate?
chocolate covered pretzels!!
I didn’t know about this company either! Sounds delicious!
Thanks for such a great blog! Happy Purim!
Have a great day! and an Adar for of simcha!
Oh Nuts’ stuff is amazing! That’s always what we ask family coming from Brooklyn to bring us in Memphis 🙂
Love your blog!
Oh Nuts was the first place my cousins took me after recovering from a flu…they figured it was the only sure way to coax me back into eating! Needless to say, it worked. Thanks, Mara!
Chocolate oranges are my favorite, but who can turn down chocolate in just about any form??
we’ve got too many food allergies to order for them…but a gc would be great to use to send a gift to someone else! 🙂
I am ashamed to admit it. But my kids don’t like chocolate. I, on the other hand, love it.
Mara, I love you! My online BFF! 😉
Hope I can win and we can nosh our way through $30 of OhNuts! nosh on Central Avenue in the 5 Towns! 😉 (I’ll share, probably!)
Love your blog and I love this giveaway!!! I can’t belive Purim is so soon!
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and I love it – thank you so much for the service you provide for the kosher community. I originally heard about you from a friend here in Houston, but I’m sure we know lots of people in common since my husband grew up in Overland Park and my in-laws are still there (FIL is a prominent rabbi there, has been for 35 years or so.) Anyway, enough Jewish Geography, I could really use this $30 Oh Nuts! credit so I hope I win. Although I must confess, it will be purely selfish, as few things are in my condition (6 months pregnant with baby #6), so I will keep the candy to myself 🙂
I love nuts…and chocolate! Thanks!!!
every time i get an Oh Nuts certificate I use it to buy a gift and send it off…so I’ve ordered a few times from them but never ever gotten a package from them. how silly is that?
I have really been enjoying this blog, especially the menu plans (although I’m an every 2 week girl) and your intro story. I’m about a third of the way through the money makeover book. Thank you!
the Oh Nuts – chocolate pretzely type things sound delicious!
Oh Nuts! is awesome – we have one by our home and my kids love it. Mara, this is a great giveaway – and again love your blog. Miss you!
I am so Nuts 4 u. I would so love to win! Have a wonderful day!
Happy Purim! I know I “owe” you a post, and it is coming… illness has kicked our butts this winter, but chocolate would salve all the ills!
I follow you on twitter @elmomomi this is my first time at your blog… will have to stick around for a while and check it out! Have a great week!
I really enjoy your blog tweets and I like on facebook. This is a Delicous Giveaway and would love to take a bite into it
Chocolate and Peanut Butter is my weakness!
I love your website! Thanks for all the great tips.
Hi everyone! I am a massive nut and chocolate lover here in Michigan. In fact I love nuts soo much that this fat squirrel outside here pointed to me to his friends and said I was nuts 🙂 @MCJunkie
im in oh nuts every week before shobbos!! I WOULD LOVE THE GIVEAWAY!
🙂
Chocolate! Nuts! Chocolate-covered nuts!
Count me in–Purim Sameach!
Anything chocolate!!
Hi! I love anything chocolate but Dark Chocolate covered Cashews are one of my favorites.
Ooooh Oh Nuts is awesome! It’s such a test of bad impulses when I walk in to those stores.
I love everything in that store….
Chocolate? Yes, please! Purim sameach!
Love the Oh! Nuts! chocolate almond toffee! YUM!
YUM!!! Thanks, Mara! : )
I love your blog–keep it (and the chocolatey nuts!) coming!
just found your blog- fun giveaway- thanks for the chance to win!
Oh, absolutely yum!!! *swoon*
Hi,
i love chocolate and we really like oh nuts! Purim Sameach!
I first heard of Oh Nuts from friends from Brooklyn, The kids called it “ONuts” (rhymes with “donuts”). So funny. I sent my daughter a candy package from Oh Nuts to camp one year. It was happily received.
What an awesome giveaway! Yummy chocolate pretzel hazelnut things sure sound good to me!!
Your blog is something I look forward to. Yascher koach!
I am new to your site..but chocolate and nuts …how can you go wrong?
Love your blog – it is both interesting and informative. My husband and I are exploring bringing a kosher, organic meat service to the Midwest, but as of yet have not found a way to make it profitable.
Love your blog…but love chocolate more!! Happy Purim! 🙂
love chocolate covered nuts and raisins!

Hi Mara, I have been thinking of you this week because I had my best stock-up day to date on Tuesday–I bought $69 worth of toiletries at Rite Aid for $11. A lot of that will be donated for Purim…and I got my first $10 off Amazon baby coupon from Babytalk this week too. Thanks for all the time, love and creativity you put into this blog.
Thanks for such a wonderful and informative blog!
Do I have to pick just one kind? I’m sorry, I cannot do that. Chocolate is a species unto its own. To pick just one would be unfair. Ask my waistline, it will tell you of my love for chocolate. 😀
Scrolling down to get to the “Leave a Comment” section has made me so hungry for chocolate! Fortunately, I still have some from my last stroll through Israel’s duty free…
I am lucky enough to live near an Oh Nuts and they are amazing! Can’t take the kids in there though…
Thanks for the giveaway. Love your blog!
I just ordered all my items from Oh Nuts last week – but I could always use more!
I’m loving the success of KOAB!
I love almost anything chocolate and the darker the better! My kids joke that I would probably eat an old shoe if it were covered in enough chocolate. Thanks for the great blog and the great giveaway!
I’m addicted to KOAB!…sigh, I guess there are worse addictions!
I so appreciate all the time and effort you put into this! Wishing you and
yours a festive celebration. Chag Sameach!
Thanks for another great giveaway, Mara!
i get my daily fix of koab but wouldnt mind a fix of oh nuts along the way too
I used to frequent Oh Nuts when I lived in NY. You got my mouth watering when I think about those yummy cherry sour balls. I wonder how long it would take to eat $30 worth of sour cherry balls?
the picture looks so good I eat it! Another great kosher company with yummy chocolate is Illinois Nut & Candy Skokie, Illinois. I wonder if they’d provide you a sample to write about on your blog?
I religiously checked your website, now I am following you on FB. Thanks for doing the work for me – figuring out how to stack the coupons and grocery deals!
Really want to try the chocolate pretzel hazelnut things!
Mmmmmm. Chocolate. Mmmmmm. Pick me! Pick me!
Hello! I love any chocolate treat and would go NUTS if I win. lol
Oh nutz! is so yummy. We have used them for many years.
I love chocolate! If i win it would at least add some good to my week. I’ve been stuck at home sick with 3 sick kids…ugh
oooh, great giveaway. Oh Nuts has some yummy stuff!
Love your blog and Love Chocolate!
Really…………anything chocolate covered is good by me!! (Thanks Mara)
I teach all of my children to love chocolate from a very young age..one of the very important food groups!

Really anything chocolate is good…….
Hi! (Waving cheerfully from a distance!)

I miss Oh NUTS!!!!! We moved recently from Brooklyn ( I lived a few blocks away from the store…oh boy) to Houston, we love Houston, but there is no Oh Nuts here…!

Thanks for sharing all of your ideas/ tips for saving money. We all know that keeping kosher isn’t easy, but with your help it makes it easier.
Thanks,
Chari
Thanks so much for an oh so yummy giveaway!
hi i recently found you on facebook thanks for all your tips 🙂
this is such a great idea!
Love your blog!
I love chocolate!
A friend put me onto your blog when I told her that we had just gotten into Dave Ramsey, but I wished there was a Jewish version, and viola- there you were! Really enjoying reading your blog almost every day. Thanks for all the $ saving leads & tips- think I’m finally getting the hang of it!
Can you believe I have lived 20 minutes from the Oh Nuts store for 8 years and I only went to the store for the first time a few weeks ago?
Enjoy your blog and love chocolate! Thanks!
Wow, you have a lot of Facebook Fans! I hope I win! Chag Sameach!
