Now, despite Marv&#8217;s inability to keep his mouth shut before I get a chance to watch the episode, I&#8217;m quite sad to see the finale of ABC&#8217;s hot show LOST this impending Sunday. For some, it means not being mocked anymore (hopefully) by colleagues and friends about watching the show, and for the rest of us it simply means that we finally have our Tuesday nights back.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2460" title="lead-img" src="http://blog.gaucho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lead-img36.png" alt="" width="200" height="158" />It&#8217;s the end of the month, and we&#8217;re that much closer to the summer. Some of us are rushing to finish our taxes (really?). Some of us are struggling to finish our work&#8217;s projects.</p>
<p><strong>Congratulations to Mary Agloro for winning this week&#8217;s Freeday! Stay tuned for next week&#8217;s, and thanks for entering!</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to do something for you. But since we know we can&#8217;t decide what you need to do for you, this week we&#8217;re letting <em>you</em> decide what you want this month. That&#8217;s right, we&#8217;re almost literally giving you the money to get whatever gift card YOU want.</p>
<h2>Where Do I Enter?!</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s how we&#8217;re going to do things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Find a gift card from a store you&#8217;d like (that can be purchased online). The denomination of the gift card can be no more than $25 USD.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/GauchoSave">Like our page on Facebook.</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=290853825601&#038;share_id=115309421836468&#038;comments=1#s115309421836468">Comment on this message with what you want to get and why to enter!</a></li>
<li>Woops. There is no step four!</li>
</ol>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing. I&#8217;m going to give you guys a little extra time this week since I won&#8217;t be back to decide who wins until Tuesday night. So ladies and gentlemen, get going because you only have until <strong>Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 18:00:00 EST</strong> to enter! Tell your friends on Twitter and link them to the comment using this link, and earn yourself extra entries into today&#8217;s Freeday!</p>
<p>Go, go, go!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.gaucho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lead-img29.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2334" title="lead-img" src="http://blog.gaucho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lead-img29.png" alt="" width="200" height="158" /></a>JCPenny sports a motto of Every Day Matters, and offers a wide range of products that weigh a little on women. What&#8217;s more, they have some pretty amazing prices on their website that you should be keeping an eye on. Everything from bedding sets to swimwear. Since we think Every Day <em>does</em> matter, and we love our charismatic women, this week we&#8217;re giving away a $25 JCPenny Gift Card to one special reader!</p>
<p><strong>Sorry, but we&#8217;ve already chosen the winner on this one! Congratulations to <a href="http://www.gaucho.com/SW04">Sophia (SW04)</a>!</strong></p>
<h2>How Do I Enter?</h2>
<p>Since last week we asked you to sign up for a Gaucho.com account and give us your username, this week we&#8217;re going to take things to the next level. Here&#8217;s how to enter to win:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sign up for a <a href="http://gaucho.com">Gaucho.com</a> account (if you haven&#8217;t already &#8211; it&#8217;s easy and free!)</li>
<li>Post a Savings!

</ul>
</li>

<p>Pretty easy, eh? Well, hurry up because you only have until <strong>April 24, 2010 11:59:59 PM EST</strong>!</p>
<p>The winner won&#8217;t be announced on Sunday this time. Unfortunately, I&#8217;m going to be away until Tuesday night, so the winner will either be announced then &#8211; promise!</p>
