Giveaway: $50 Amazon.com gift card
Posted by Donna Freedman on Sep 3, 2010 | 255 commentsLast week’s prize, a $25 Mastercard gift card, drew nearly 200 comments — the most ever. Let’s see if we can top that with this week’s swag, a $50 Amazon.com gift card.
It doesn’t have to be books, you know. I’ve bought everything from Pokemon cards to powdered milk from the online retailer.
To enter:
If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave an additional comment for each entry so that you’ll be fairly counted.
Because this is a bigger-ticket item than usual, I’m going to open the window of opportunity a little wider: The deadline to enter is 9 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Sept. 7.
As always, I’ll be using a random number generator.
Very cool giveaway …

I use Amazon all the time, stay off the road and get things delivered right to my PO box, free s&h on many items. I’ve bought many used items through Amazon as well, most vendors are fine and sometimes you even find an item that is used and sold by Amazon (maybe returns? who knows, but usually a great deal with free “super saver shipping” applied there as well)
Oops! Forgot to add that I’m an RSS subscriber, too.
Hope I win!
And I subscribed!
You’re getting close to 200…fingers crossed!
This is in plenty of time for Christmas shopping!

Your blog is always a pleasure – your writing often teaches me something I didn’t already know about living on a budget, the swagbucks widget has netted me several swagbucks by checking to see if there’s a current code, and what’s not to love about all the great giveaways? I hope I win, but whoever does SOMEONE is going to get a great surprise – good luck everyone!
I LOVE Amazon! Yay!

Following on Twitter now . . . bigger prize than the $30 I’ve gotten in Swagbucks cards, but, let’s be honest, I was doing the happy dance about that, too! Used it last weekend to check some things while doing a proofreading a job. And I was SO happy, even when I actually did the math and realized I’d made an additional 50 cents.
I love your blog, and I love the prizes you give away. Hopefully some day I will actually win one.

My girlfriend and I were just talking about this issue yesterday. She’s a teacher, and in her school’s affluent town, parents discourage their kids from going to the vocational school rather than the high school… where are our future plumbers and electricians going to come from?!
