RFIndependence Haha are you serious?!? I’m surprised they got that much from a few dozen a week, but I suppose over a long period of time that might make sense. We’ve won quite a few things, too many to list or try to think of haha. And actually it’s NOT the reason behind the garage sale, as I think I can get more for that stuff on eBay or Craigslist.

I remember a TV show where the guy had a garage full of stuff he had won from giveaways and would participate in dozens every week. What have you guys won so far? Is that the reason behind the garage sale lol?

TacklingOurDebt I used to have no idea how many were out there! It’s great to see how it is a win-win for everyone involved. The sponsors benefit greatly (especially if they put in time and effort promoting the giveaway), and obviously those participating have the potential to win some really solid prizes.

I completely agree with everything you have written Victoria!
I use to avoid them now I use them all the time. I started entering more and more of them. I would love an extra $500 bucks or so. And you are right, I have found so many blogs that I enjoy but otherwise would not have come across.
I’ve started posting a lot of the mommy bloggers giveaways on my site and it has increased my twitter followers and my blog traffic quite nicely as well.

Beachbudget Yeah I do not subscribe unless it is a HUGE giveaway and/or there are only a hundred entries or something like that.

Paulette Mensah Haha well there is nothing wrong with being selective! I know I am. There’s some big giveaways that I will try to get as many entries as possible in, and some smaller ones that I just pass over.

I’ve always used the time thing as an excuse myself. The one I like the least is subscribing, but I guess not all require that you do that, so it’s worth it to give it a shot.
