Are you entering Contests & Sweepstakes? You should be!

I sometimes post contests and sweepstakes. I don't always have the time to enter, but after getting this from my friend, Cindy, I'm going to be sure to enter all that I can!

When I saw a friend of mine post one day she was a full-time "sweeper" and was not posting spam on Facebook, I have to admit I had no idea what she was talking about! Apparently, she enters sweepstakes as her full-time job. I did some more research and lo and behold many people started sweeping after the economy went downhill, and they could not find a job. I loved the idea of winning prizes, but just filling out my name and clicking a button! I started entering any contest my serious sweeper friends entered on Facebook, before long I was following different companies and entering whatever I saw posted. 

 

However, there is a lot more to it than just filling out forms. Becoming a sweeper is rewarding, but you have to put some time aside every day to enter contests. The most popular contests are those that you can enter daily, or you can win instantly. These "dailies" are some of the easiest contests to win, but you have to be sure to log in every day to enter them. Another factor is what will happen if you win a large prize. You will get a tax from at the end of the year for any prize over $600, and it will considered part of your income. In another words if you are hoping to win that trip to Hawaii make sure you have enough money to put aside during tax season. I started out small and just did a few a day, I have won some great food prizes, gift cards, make up, and coupons.

 

After winning here and there, I began to enter every day. I would say on an average day I enter 25-30 contests, however, many people will enter up to 100 a day. Sweeping is fun, but does take time, and once you win that first prize even if it is a candy bar - you will be hooked. Just remember someone has to win - and if you do not enter it will not be you. You have nothing to lose by entering a contest you see posted. Just remember to read the rules, so you are not disqualified, and be sure it is something you can give away, donate or sell.

 

Good luck and Happy Sweeping.

 

Thanks, Cindy! That is quite a haul!

Pillsbury Ready to Bake! Cookies Holiday Cash Sweepstakes

 

Pillsbury Ready to Bake!™ Cookies is offering you a chance to win $10 cash just in time for the Holidays! It's so easy to enter and there is a $10 cash prize available every 10 minutes! Just head over to PIllsburyHolidayCash.com and enter the code found on specially marked packages of Pillsbury Ready to Bake cookies.

You could win $10 just like that! If you're like me, you're already buying Pillsbury Ready to Bake! cookies this holiday season, so the chance to win $10 is an added bonus!

Last week, I invited my niece over and we baked cookies with the kids. I can remember my mom baking with all my cousins when we were kids. She would spend days mixing the cookie dough so we'd have plenty by the time the baking day arrived. I admit, I thought about mixing my dough, but then I thought PIllsbury makes it so easy!

It was so much easier to just pick up a few rolls of Pillsbury Ready to Bake! cookie dough than to buy everything to mix the dough and make the kids wait while the dough chilled. They wanted to cut their cookies immediately!

With Pillsbury, you can make some wonderful memories with your kids anytime you like.

Since you're probably going to be baking cookies anyway, you might as well pick up Pillsbury Ready to Bake! cookies. You never know, you might win in their Holiday Cash Sweepstakes!

Help Your School Excel with Excedrin - Win $10,000 for Your School

 

I've been doing the Back to School ritual long enough to know that it can come with headaches. Whether it's finding the right clothes, the perfect shoes, or the 3 inch binder in the specific color(it must be NAVY blue, not COBALT or light blue,) getting the kids ready to start school can be a challenge.

Excedrin knows this. Trust me when I say that I've taken my fair share of Excedrin over the years--and I'm sure that some of the time it was around Back to School time! If you haven't put Excedrin on your shopping list, now might be the time to add it.

Here are some interesting facts:

•    According to a recent survey by the makers of Excedrin®, 69% of parents, who have at least one child in school this coming year, say they are excited for their child’s first day of school.  That doesn’t change the fact that 44% of parents also say they expect to get a headache during the back to school season.

•    According to a recent survey by the makers of Excedrin®, more than one-third of parents* cite getting themselves (41%) and their children (43%) back on a schedule at the top of the list of things that might cause their headaches during the back to school season.

•    In addition, more than one-third (35%) of parents* say shopping for school supplies might give them a headache.  With all the pencils, folders and notebooks, parents should remember to put Excedrin® on their back to school shopping list. 

See? We're not alone!

In addition to the actual headaches Moms & Dads get at the start of the school year, we also know that many of our schools need supplies and equipment. That's why right now, with every purchase of Excedrin®, parents can enter for a chance to win $10,000 for their child’s school. 

To enter the “Help Your School Excel with Excedrin” sweepstakes and have the chance to be one of the five lucky winners, all you have to do is visit Facebook.com/Excedrin.  Once there, you can enter to help your school win $10,000.

I don't know about you, but I think our schools need all the help they can get. $10,000 can go a long way towards buying paper, supplies, or even computers and software for the classrooms.
