Support the reader economy: Giveaway #10.

by

It makes me happy to do these “Support the reader economy” giveaways. Yet it also makes me a little bit sad because $25 just doesn’t have the impact it once did.

Back in the day, $25 covered my child care for the week. (Dang, I’m old.) But I try to remind myself that I keep reminding myself how excited finding a penny makes me – and more than a few of you readers.

Since finding 2,500 pennies would be even better, I keep going with the giveaway. As I once noted, $25 might not fix all your problems but it’s better than not having $25.

As always, the winner gets to choose the type of card they receive. One exception: I won’t give a Visa or Mastercard prepaid debit card because of the fees. Other than that, if I can obtain it electronically, then I will send it to the winner. 

Prefer a physical card? I’ll do that, too, if I can.

Obviously, how you use the card is up to you. Treat yourself. Treat someone else. Give it to your kid’s teacher at the end of the school year. Donate it to a good cause. Have something delivered to a person/cause.

Whatever you do with the card, I hope you have fun with it.

  16. Please add my name to the list as I subscribe to your emails. Think I would give it to my nearby pet charity this time. Thanks Donna!

  42. $25 is nothing to sneeze at. I can remember a time when it would’ve made the difference in whether I ate or not. Thanks for this chance.
