We all know Walmart is our one stop shopping place. We can get groceries, sporting goods, lawn & garden items, stuff for your car and just about everything for a do it yourself project at the house! Walmart is launching a initiative to help you get those honey do’s and DIY projects. Head over to Projects made Simple and get the scoop on how to save money by fixing some basic things around the house.
DIY projects are great ways to save money, the problem that usually comes up is time and know how. With 7 perfect angels I never have to fix anything, nothing ever gets broken. I’ve never had to patch a wall, fix a doorknob or keep a toilet from running a marathon. Yeah right!!! I am really excited about this.
Just in case you are not as excited as me Walmart is giving 1 lucky I Heart the Mart Reader $100 reasons to be excited. All you have to do is check out the “Projects Made Simple” and come back and tell me what project you want to use the $100 for! This sponsored giveaway ends Sunday May 6 at Midnight! After you leave a comment on here go like I Heart the Mart and leave a comment on Facebook for a second entry for the $100 Walmart Gift Card!!

Each project includes:- A video how-to with chapters for each step
- Downloadable instructions (I still like printing things out!)
- A list of all the necessary supplies with links to purchase them online
- Repair a wall
- Install a water filter system
- Repair a running toilet
- And more! http://see.walmart.com/projects-made-simple/
