I Won! A Few Small Sweepstakes Prizes

July 18, 2011

Even if you don’t always (or ever) win the big one, sweepstakes are fun to enter just for the little prizes that show up in your mailbox. Here are three prizes I received last week…

Ceramic mugs from a Tassimo Facebook sweepstakes (over).

52 packets of Quaker Oatmeal from a Facebook sweepstakes (over).

Sometimes when hoping for a different prize or entering instant win sweepstakes just for fun you may win things that you can’t use or maybe don’t even want.

That’s okay because there is always someone who would love to have it. Give it as a gift or donate! We probably wouldn’t eat 52 packets of oatmeal in a lifetime but can donate it to a shelter, food bank, or even a neighbor who will eat it up in no time.

I post the majority of Facebook only sweepstakes on the My Good Cents Facebook page but not always on the blog.

I also received $5 in Summer Fun Bucks from the Wrigleys : Non-Stop Summer Fun Sweepstakes. You can play three times a day for your chance to win Summer Fun Bucks, Six Flag Tickets, or free candy coupons. There are over 164,000 prizes.

You’ll need a code to play this game which you can request online but here are a few to get you started : BR2SL4F742, WWNJL7HB6R, JKJ736WWR4, F6LBP3HT73, ST576MT2K4

Sweepstakes ends September 5th, 2011. Good Luck! Summer Fun Bucks are good on movie tickets & concessions, books, CD’s, and sporting goods at a variety of locations.

P&G Freebie Machines At Walmart?

July 15, 2011

in Free Stuff

One of my Facebook friends “checked in” to the Freebie Machine at Walmart on Facebook the other day. I’ve never seen these boxes, have you?

Once you check in via Facebook it’s supposed to dispense a free sample of Cascade. I’m guessing samples will vary and/or they change them periodically. Pretty cool.

On a side note he also posted that the machine didn’t dispense any freebies after he checked in, lol.. but still a cool concept.

Save/Earn With eCoupons From SavingStar

July 15, 2011

in Coupons,Earn Money

SavingStar is a new eCoupon site that gives you cash for using coupons. Love that!

It’s super easy to start earning once you sign up… first, enter your club card numbers (grocery and drug stores), then click on the coupons you think you might use to load them. Click one time and they are automatically loaded to all your cards.

When you purchase the item at a store, the money isn’t taken off the total but added to your SavingStar account. Once your account reaches $5, cash out via PayPal! Easy money! If you prefer they also offer Amazon gift certificates, transfers to your bank or even donation funds.

I love this.. such a neat idea. Sign up for SavingStar here.
