Sweepstakes Title/Link - Nissan 370Z Sweep

Prize(s)- 2010 Nissan 370Z; also 15 first prizes of set of four Yokohama tires

End Date - June 28, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - I love this car. Not a big fan of sweeps where you have to take possession of a car at some other location than your home town, but at least the trip is included. According to the offical rules of this one you can choose to take possession at a dealership near your home, but unsure whether trip is still included if you choose this option. Either way, more convenient. This would be heartbreaking to sell for the much more family friendly minivan we need.

Swimsuit season

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Secret Gym Membership Sweep

Prize(s) - One year gym membership (1 given away weekly)

End Date - April 25, 2010gym

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - We went out on the lake this weekend for the first time this year and I was faced with the impending reality that swimsuit season is upon us. Much to my dismay, I did not magically acquire the body of Brittany Daniels during the winter. Sigh. I hate having to work for what I want. If only I could afford the personal trainer, personal chef, AND be ok w/ spending less time w/ my kid so that I could look bangin. But, thats not my life. So, I will be content w/ entering to win this sweep and maybe get a gym membership.

I bless the rains...

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Discovery Africa Sweep

Prize(s) - 8 day trip for 2 to Tanzania, Africa

End Date - April 23, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - While I don't quite feel comfortable taking Max to Africa as he isn't quite old enough, this would be an awesome trip. Not to mention, we just can't take another trip abroad this year.

More cash is even better!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Hormel Foods 25K Sweep

Prize(s) - $25,000

End Date - April 11, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Simone's Thoughts - Since twitter hasn't un-suspended my account which was hacked yet, I figured I would post a really good one for my loyal followers. Friday tends to be my lowest traffic day, so to all of you who come to my site on your own and come on Friday, this sweeps for you!

No, you're....

Simone's Thoughts - The only thing that could make this sweep better would be cash, a car, and Red Sox tickets. Yeah, its a lot, but the sweep still rocks!

IKEA

Sweepstakes Title/Link - HGTV IKEA 10G

Prize(s)- $10,000 IKEA GC

End Date - April 23, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - I'm a sucker for IKEA. This would be so awesome to win! Just don't eat there, its not worth it. And the ice cream tastes strange too, also not worth it.

Its a Fiesta!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Ford Fiesta American Idol Sweep

Prize(s) - 2011 Ford Fiesta w/ custom design and a 3 or 4 night trip to see American Idol. 1 given away per week and grand prize trip is for the finale.

End Date - May 21, 2010

Entry Frequency - weekly per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - While I don't normally enter for custom designed cars since they are normally overpriced, I'm gonna throw my hat in this one. They are giving away 9 cars total, so odds are good. Maybe I can just get one that isn't custom painted, you never know.

Mid-life crisis on the cheap

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Florida Miata Sweep

Prize(s) - 2010 Mazda MX5 Miata convertible & a 6 night trip to Florida

End Date - April 30, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I'm not really a Miata kind of girl, but I could sure use the cash from selling one. I like muscle cars and this just seems sorta wimpy. Always has, always will - sorry Mazda.

Prize(s) - 2011 Ford F-150 & $10,000

Simone's Thoughts - No decision necessary with this one as you get the car and the cash! Of course this is a neverending sweep - hope you enjoy entering for a year!

Car or cash

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Better Homes Car Sweep

Prize(s) - 2010 Honda Insight LX Hybrid or $19,397.95 cash

End Date - June 30, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per email

Simone's Thoughts - If you don't need a new car and the sponsor is offering you the equivalent of the car of under 5 grand less, take the cash. Trust me, its not worth the effort to register and sell the car. We have done it and its worthwhile if you have to do it, but if the sponsor is offering an easier way - take it!

You will have to be or become a member of BH&G to win this, but its free and they always have sweeps going on.

Prize(s) - Classic Ford Mustang; also 100 first prizes of $250 Jockey GC

End Date - July 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - For my 300th post, I give you a Mustang. Enjoy! Doesn't really specify what year, or if its the one pictured, but still a classic Mustang. Whether it will be worth the $30,000 ARV they are claiming, who knows.
