Kathleen - you're the next contestant on SarahCrosbie.com!

Well, it's time to announce the winner of the very first Crosbiemania contest.
I asked you to guess the amount of my knee-high boots. Sure, you can drop $200 to $300 on a pair of boots, but I have a toddler who costs a lot of money and now I'm the big U (unemployed), so I was a thrifty gal.
(Though not as thrifty as my mother would like me to be. She guessed my boots were $19.99. Geez, Louise, mom. Waddya want from me?)
Anyway, the winner of the inaugural contest is reader KATHLEEN who guessed they were $59.99. Did you go through my recycling looking for the bill?
They were, in fact, $59.99 from Winners, as Kathleen guessed. So, in total, $67.79 with tax.

We'll make arrangements to get you your prize, Ms. Kathleen. :)
Thanks to everyone who entered.
Sarah "Cheapskate" Crosbie


And here is the rest of it.

There might be more(or not)

Guess the price of my sexy boots. Win a prize.

See these boots? They were made for saving. We're in a recession. I have no job. You probably either don't have a job, are worried about losing your job, or have someone in your family who's out of a job. Trust me, I get it. I'm Sarah-Save-A-Lot these days, but I still have to look good. I need to look decent so that when I'm at Wal-Mart buying Rollback bargoons, and someone sees me and says, "Dang! That Sarah Crosbie is looking fine. I need to give her a job!" So check out my boots. They're knee-high. They're sassy. OK, maybe they're pleather and not leather, but they're still sexy. So how much do you think I paid for 'em? (Here's a little help: It's not outrageous to spend more than $200 on boots. But what did I spend?) Guess right and I'll send you a little help for Valentine's Day – a $20 gift card to the Body Shop so you can get him/her something nice, courtesy of SarahCrosbie.com. All you have to do is post a comment here with your price guess. Closest wins. Contest open until midnight Feb. 9, 2009. I'll post the winning guess by 9 a.m. Feb. 10. (You have to leave a name in your comment – not anonymous – so I can match the winner to the guess. Once I declare the winner, I'll give you 24 hours to email me.)
