Trade Up Tuesday: Itunes Giveaway

Itunes gift card

It’s Trade Up Tuesday! That’s everyone’s favorite day here at A Better Bag of Groceries, because at the end of this post there is a giveaway.  Typically, I blog about groceries – and I write about a NuVal trade up.  Today, I’m taking a little diversion from the usual – and I’m hosting a simple yet satisfying Itunes giveaway.

I have two reasons for this.

One – I’m actually on a business trip in New Orleans – so I needed to keep things simple this week.

Two – January (which I will admit, is not one of my favorite months of the year) is a great month for cleaning and organizing.  And that includes fun things  – not just cleaning out your office.  But organizing your music, making some new playlists.

My 9-year-old son got a new Ipod Nano from Santa for Christmas.  His old Nano went through the washer one time too many and finally breathed its last breath.  On Christmas Day, I spent about an hour with him setting up his new Ipod.  So many updates!  He loved cashing in his Itunes gift card for new tunes from Pitbull, Maroon 5, and Flo Rida.  The whole exercise inspired me to freshen up my own Ipod.

I created a new running playlist for January…

And a new overall playlist – for my own listening enjoyment.  No Flo Rida or Pitbull on this one!

Itunes Jan playlist

Sometimes, when I’m running on the treadmill, I opt for my son’s music.  Nothing like a little Pitbull‘s “Don’t Stop the Party” to get you going in the morning!

Speaking of running, I have to do just that!  I want to go check out the French Quarter!  So, here’s the giveaway info!

Today’s Giveaway

One lucky reader will win the $25 gift card to Itunes. All you need to do is leave a comment below telling me why you could really use it (you need new music for_____).  I’ll select one winner at random at 8 am Eastern on Wednesday January 23rd, so don’t delay.  Good luck!

    I’d actually love to surpise my mom with it. She does so many great things for so many people & my eclectic taste in music definitely came from her so I know she’d love it.

    I love adding new music to my ipod! It is a great way to keep me motivated to exercise. And there really is nothing better than getting lost in your music while running. By the way, you should add Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez “Dance Again.” One of my favorites!

  22. #22 Kim
    on Jan 22nd, 2013 at 10:24 am

    I need new music to motivate myself and my daughters for our new move toward fitness (they are going to start using the treadmill and walking/running)!! YAY!!

    I CANNOT work out without music. I have left the gym when I realized my phone was dead! I like to stream Pandora, but the reception in the cardio area at my gym is horrible. Would love a card to fill my phone with songs!

    I use my ipod at work, in the car, at the gym. I can always use more music or audiobooks.

    I could really use an iTunes gift card to update my running playlist. It hasn’t been updated in so long, it’s almost embarrassing! And there’s nothing better than new, uplifting music to power a run!

    I have to workout with music and I could really use some new tunes because my playlists are getting boring. I cleaned up my iPod recently and got rid of the songs that don’t motivate me anymore.

    I’d love the card so I can keep up with my 14-year-old’s burgeoning fascination with British musicians. Oy, the library is good for some of her requests, but not all.

    I’m pretty sure my classes would appreciate me spicing up my playlists this winter! And as I say that – feel free to share some of your tunes! :)

    I need new music because I have had the same 300 songs on my iPod for …(and I’m embarrassed to admit this) four years. Yeah, think its time for a change?!?

    on Jan 22nd, 2013 at 8:41 pm

    I could really use it because between me switching my computer and my phones I’ve lost ALL of my music I had!!!! I’m lost! I had some great work out music that would keep me pedaling that bike like mad.

  52. #52 Tanya

    Hello!

    Thanks so much!!
