I got a nice surprise in the mail from Starpulse: a very classy Helen Mirren at the BBC DVD set - 5 DVDs. Also, from another sponsor I won the Warner Brothers Academy Awards 5-DVD set which I've been watching. I'm having a good laugh watching Popeye and other vintage toons. :laughing: I love my...

I had a big tree cut down, and put an ad on Craig's List for free firewood. Three responders said they wanted to come today and take the wood, so I pulled my car out of the driveway, opened the gate and sat around all day waiting for them. Nobody shows up. Not that I'm surprised. People do this...

I have been using Yahoo! email for years for sweeping, and now I have a Gmail address, but don't understand how it works. For random emails I receive with important info, I'd like a folder to put them, but don't see how to create a folder. It has an option where you make a filter, but I get all...

Last week I won a very unique and useful prize: a soda maker worth $99. This was my first blog win and it was sponsored by The Kitchn. I'm going to use it when I have a party and not buy soda if I can avoid it. :sunny:

How annoyed do you have to get with a daily before you delete it? The *^%@!! International Coffee "delight" had me grinding away every a.m., but I had a routine to get through it. Today they reset the game making players go through the different games all over again. I got frustrated with the...

Who has been entering these? Have you won? I only just started entering them.

DHL left a $1,000 check behind my door. Apparently, I won the grand prize. I had no idea. :crazytongue: This will come in handy as I'm doing home improvements and need the cash. :)

What little things do you do to save money? Little things add up to a lot. Lately I began a new practice of filling my bathroom sink about 1/4 of the way with warm water when I want to wash my face. I then shut off the spigot, wash up then drain the water. Then I turn the cold water on to...

I won twice, but have yet to see a prize from the first or second contest. Has anybody else received an Amazon code or an AT&T card? I really need to buy something from Amazon so anxious to get the code.

Brown dropped off a big box today, and I thought it was the Glad basket. Instead, it was a 22" Eagle Creek suitcase in black and red worth $200! Yippee!!!!! I wasn't notified of this win, and not sure of the contest. It's a complete surprise. :sunny:

I won a $10 shopping code from the Esprit e-shop contest on 1/23, so I used it on a cute t-shirt that was marked down. Shipping it totaled the order to just under $10, and I got a confirmation that I tossed (in anticipation of a shipping confirmation). I'm still waiting for the package, my...

My first win of Feb. after a spectacular Jan. I thought the sweeps goddess was pissed at me or something. :cry:

It's a bit strange to me that the people who run these conventions post and repost about it at ZZZ but not here. This site has 126,500 members and growing at a steady rate. Haven't they noticed?

My egg this a.m. had a double yolk, which obviously means I'm going to win something real soon. :sunny: When I win a small prize, particularly a prize I don't want, I worry that I used up my luck for the week. What are your superstitions?

My car is a 2007 Toyota Yaris, a thriftymobile that gets about 34 mpg. I hate buying gas, and luckily I rarely have to. :laughing:

There's supposed to be a recession coming, or so they say. I haven't done any sweepstaking during a recession. Some of you are long-timers. How does it affect sweeps? Are there more, less, the same?

So far, I have been very lucky having won 5 trips. I went to N. California, Los Angeles, Vegas and Bahamas. The fifth is unused, a $1,600 travel credit on Alaska Air, so I think I will take a flight to the Pacific NW and an Alaskan cruise. :sunny: I would like to win trips to other places, such...

Some of you may recall that my mother passed away in May :cry: and I find myself unable to donate furniture that she owned and I don't want to keep. There's a full sized bed, night table and a large mirrored armoire. Three charities (including the Salvation Army) rejected the stuff as too big...

I won a $25 g.c. to B&N. :sunny:

Has anybody entered these and won anything? I haven't, but I noticed that my digital camera has limited movie filming ability, so I was thinking of making an attempt to enter these.
