It is the time of year when the weather is changing from Winter to Spring. This seems to be when a lot of people catch colds. Airborne might be useful. They have a “Spin to Win” game on their Facebook page. It might be something fun to do while you are recovering from a cold. I have been incredibly sick this week. The winds here in California tend to kick up a lot of dust, and other particulate matter. This does not help the sinuses of severely allergic people, like me. I guess, technically, I don’t have a cold, but … Continue reading →

StarKist wants you to start thinking of Fridays as the day that you have tuna for lunch. They have created a sweepstakes called “Tuna Pouch Fridays”. There will be prizes awarded at the end of every week from now through April 6, 2012. Someone will win an ultimate spa experience for two! StarKist is the company that has a cartoon mascot named “Charlie the Tuna”. He has been around for a little over fifty years now, and has appeared in many commercials for StarKist. You probably have heard the phrase “Sorry, Charlie” before. It was popularized by the StarKist tuna … Continue reading →

Are you tired of the cold, Winter, weather? Want to take a vacation to somewhere much warmer, and a whole lot less snowy? This dream could become reality when you enter the “Share Your Heart” Giveaway, sponsored by Little Debbie snacks. Someone is going to win a travel gift card worth $1,500. I remember eating lots of Little Debbie snack cakes when I was a kid. My favorite was the Star Crunch, because they were pretty darn close to a candy bar. I was also a fan of the Zebra Cakes. My husband told me that his favorite treat made … Continue reading →

It appears that Best Buy has connected with the Biggest Loser television program in order to create a somewhat confusing sweepstakes. If I understand correctly, the winners will get some of the tools that contestants use on the Biggest Loser Ranch, (without actually visiting the ranch). The full name of this sweepstakes is “The Biggest Loser Meal Plan & Slimcoach Sweepstakes”. It isn’t being held through the Biggest Loser television program itself. Instead, Best Buy, and their reward zone, appear to be hosting it. What does Best Buy have to do with weight loss? I’ve no idea. The only connection … Continue reading →

Now that the chaos of the holiday season has ended, many people are probably ready for a nice, relaxing, vacation. If you go to the Popchips Facebook page, you can enter the “Ultimate Vegas Sweepstakes”. Someone will win a three night vegas vacation. Several people will win plenty of Popchips. Often, I find that the sweepstakes that appear on the Facebook pages of different companies are confusing. This is especially true when two or more companies team up to provide a sweepstakes package. I find myself wondering just how those two, seemingly unrelated, companies decided that they were a logical … Continue reading →

Weddings are expensive. This is especially true if you had, (or stood up in), a really large wedding. If you bought your dress from David’s Bridal, then you can enter their sweepstakes. Write a review of your dress, and you could win $250 in gift vouchers from David’s Bridal. In October of this year, I was a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding. She got her beautiful wedding gown from David’s Bridal. That is also where the surprisingly lovely, apple red, bridesmaid gowns that she selected came from. My sister has really good taste, and this showed in her choice of … Continue reading →

Ellio’s has a sweepstakes called “Season’s Eatings”. They have been giving away daily prizes since the sweepstakes started. The earlier you enter the sweepstakes, the more chances you have to win. Everyone who enters could get a $1.00 off Ellio’s coupon. Other prizes include gift cards, t-shirts, and cash! For many people, a big part of the holiday season is the food. Thanksgiving dinner always includes turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. Christmas dinner might be similar. There are treats that you can find at this time of the year, (like gingerbread cookies, and peppermint mocha drinks from Starbucks), that you … Continue reading →

Excedrin knows about migraines. They even make a pain medication that is specifically designed for migraines. You can enter Excedrin’s “No Time for Migraine Pain” Sweepstakes. The winner is going to get a Spa Getaway. There are also some weekly prizes that you could win. Migraines are more than just a really bad headache. Some research indicates that migraines are caused by altered blood flow, and abnormal levels of certain substances that are naturally produced in the brain. Some of this causes the blood vessels that line the brain to swell, which causes pain and pressure. According to Excedrin, 82% … Continue reading →

How much bread do you, and your family, go through in a year? It probably totals out to much more than you might think. Bread adds quite a bit to your weekly grocery bill. Nature’s Pride is celebrating it’s anniversary by giving someone free bread for an entire year. That winner could be you! Bread is an important part of the diets of most people. You might start your day with a few slices of toast. Lunches typically include a sandwich, (on some variety of bread). You can’t make a “PB and J” without a few slices of bread. The … Continue reading →

Are you ready for more adorable, dancing, singing, penguins? Enter the Amtrak “Happy Feet Two” Sweepstakes. You could win a trip for four to the “Happy Feet Two” premiere in Los Angeles, California. The first “Happy Feet” movie featured a cartoon penguin named Mumble. The little guy was born dancing, which made him quite different from the rest of the penguins. This is definitely a kids movie, and it involves lots of musical numbers, songs, and penguins who either sing, dance, or do both. The sequel to the “Happy Feet” is called “Happy Feet Two”, (which makes it easy to … Continue reading →
