Giveaway: $50 worth of gift cards.

by

I haven’t had a giveaway in quite a while, so I decided to put a $25 gift card up for grabs.

Then I changed my mind.

“Why don’t I give away three $10 cards?” I thought. “That way three people can win.”

And then I changed my mind again. Or, rather, the owner of the I Pick Up Pennies website  — aka, my daughter, Abigail Perry — changed it for me.

“I’d be glad to kick in a $20 gift card,” she said. “That way, you can make it an even $50.”

That’s the end of the mind-changing. The first-place winner will get a $20 gift card, and three other winners will each get $10 gift cards.

Even a $10 gift card can be helpful when times are a bit tight, whether you use it to buy rice and beans or to order yourself (or someone else) a little treat to brighten the day.

And if money isn’t an issue right now? Lucky you, and consider passing along the card to someone in need, or in need of a treat.

What kind of gift cards? That’s up to the winners.

Well, to some extent it’s up to the winners. The scrip options are Amazon, Walmart or Target. I can send them electronically or have them mailed. Your call.

 

As always, it’s easy to enter:

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (e.g., “Subscribed via e-mail” or “Follow you on Twitter”).

And: You can get an extra entry if you correctly guess the reasoning behind the above illustration.

The deadline to enter is 7 p.m. PDT Sunday, May 3. If I don’t hear back by 7 p.m. PDT Tuesday, May 5, then the random number generator will be forced to choose a new name (or names).

  25. Hmmm, does the photo suggest that one could utilize a gift card to invest in a laying hen that could produce a fertilized egg courtesy of the pictured rooster, resulting in chicks for a significant return on the $10 investment?

    I subscribe via email. And thank you for these offerings.

  51. I subscribe by email. Donna, your ears must’ve been burning, because DH and I were just discussing your article about picking up change while wrapping up this year’s coin that we found on our walks. During this COVID-19 crisis, we pick up the “street treasure” with a glove, and sanitize the heck out of it when we get back home.

  107. Thanks for the giveaway. It brightens my day in the midst of covid 19 to anticipate possibly winning. Anticipation is almost as good as actually winning!

  134. For some reason my other entries did not show up. I think it has something to do with AOL. If they do, please kindly delete them. I follow you via email.

  147. Hi. I subscribed via email. I read your daughter’s blog, too. I think the image is saying “don’t count your chickens before they hatch” so that people should not imagine how they will use the cash before they win (or lose).

  215. I am following you on FB. You chose the chicken image because of the expression Chicken Money = Totally cool or awesome.
