My Sweepstakes Wins

Tweet

I mentioned on another post that I was entering sweepstakes and contests again, and that I have done it before and won some fun stuff. People had asked what I won, so I will write a list of all I can remember. I did this about 10 or 12 years ago. I spent about 1 hour per day entering sweepstakes online. I did it for about 3 months every day, and then only when I had time for another month or two. So here is what I won that year: A $100 Visa gift card to be used anywhere A Samuel Adams Sun Umbrella with a stand (I sold it at a yard sale) A company-sponsored t-shirt (I don't remember which company) A fleece blanket with a company logo on it (don't remember the company) A $400 gift certificate to a local hair salon A coupon for a free candy bar A box filled with 4 different UNO card games A booklet of 26 coupons for a free family-sized Stouffer's frozen meal A baseball cap with a company logo on it (don't remember the company) A water bottle with a company logo on it (don't remember the company) And I think there were also some incidentals like small prizes I don't really remember. Sometimes the companies wouldn't tell me in advance and things would just show up at my door. That was a LOT of fun. On June 17th this year, I started entering contests and sweepstakes again. I spend 45 minutes to 1 hour doing it every day, or every other day. In case you were thinking it's a waste of time, I usually do it when I am in the living room with my husband and he is watching TV programs I have no interest in (he likes true murder or mystery stories, engineering shows, shows about smugglers, etc). So I am able to be with my husband in the same room, but do something I enjoy while he does something he enjoys. So far in the past few weeks I have won: 1 coupon for a free salad bar at Ruby Tuesdays 1 coupon for a free chicken sandwich at Ruby Tuesdays 1 Fanny Pack (Bum Bag for those of you in Australia!) from Pure Leaf tea Do you think entering sweepstakes and contests is worth the time?
