End Date - December 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - While you won't get these pots in time for Thanksgiving (or this year for that matter), you might have them for holidays next year! Nice pots can never be underestimated in value.

End Date - December 23, 2010

Alaska and Vancouver

Sweepstakes Title/Link - TLC Alaska Sweep

Prize(s)- 7 day cruise for four departing from Vancouver going to Seward, AK

End Date - December 10, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Prize(s)- $2500 Visa GC

End Date - December 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Prize(s)- 2010 Ducati motorcycle or $15,000

End Date - December 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I had no clue what a Carhartt was till I married a Vermonter. Of course he gets very little use for it here in TX, but it comes in handy when we visit. $15,000 comes in handy no matter where you are.

11.15.2010

Old Navy

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Lucky Breaks Old Navy Sweep

Prize(s)- $5,000 Old Navy GC (2 given away)

End Date - December 2, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - We live in Old Navy. Its cheap and fairly stylish. Do I wish I could afford to wear designer clothes - yes - but ON works. I could buy clothes galore with this amount and only 1 pair of Jimmy Choos.

Words that I cannot spell

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Alaska Magazine Rondy Fest Trip Sweep

Prize(s)- 4 night trip for 4 to Anchorage, AK for Rondy Fest

End Date - December 15, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I grew up with an English teacher for a grandmother, so proper spelling and grammar were drilled into us. I won't say that my writing is pristine, in fact it's far from it, but that doesn't stop me from being annoyed at other peoples misuses and misspellings of words. In any case, I stink at spelling rendezvous. I know its not a particularly easy word, but at a spelling bee I would fail miserably at this word. Be aware the festival dates are 2/26-3/5, so you will probably have to travel in this window. You also should check to make sure your airport is serviced by this airline.

Sinagapore

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Singapore Tourism Sweep

Prize(s)- 4 day trip for two to Singapore

End Date - November 20, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Simone's Thoughts - I don't know much about Singapore to be honest, but this trip is only for 2 and I know we can't afford another airline ticket for Max, so I will be abstaining form this sweep.

Give a little bit

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Hallmark $10K Sweep

Prize(s)- $10,000 and a $10,000 donation to charity

End Date - December 23, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I love sweeps where you can win something for yourself and something for a charity. It really is a win-win!

Mississippi

Sweepstakes Title/Link - GAC 5K Sweep

Prize(s)-$5,000 & a 4 day trip for 2 to Biloxi, MS

End Date - December 13, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - No offense intended, but we drove through MS this summer and I can honestly say I have no desire to return. On the other hand I love winning money.

Coolest parent/ spouse/ child/ friend ever

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Journeys MacBook Sweep

Prize(s)- MacBook Air (5 given away); iPad (10 given away); other prizes too

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - Anyone (over the age of 8) that you gave any of these to for a present would love it. Or you could just keep it for yourself!

JCP in tha house

Sweepstakes Title/Link - JCP $500 GC Sweep

Prize(s)- $500 JCP GC (50 given away)

End Date - November 30, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I find it amusing that JC Pennys is trying to rebrand itself as JCP. As if a hip new name will change the fact that they are a department store. I don't see the kids going 'Lets go hang at JCP yo!'. In any case, JC Pennys always has great deals on kids clothes (on par with Kohls deals) and with a growing child, I can use all the help I can get. This sweep has great odds, so it fits my 'odds' liking for sure.

11.03.2010

BK Country

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Burger King XBox Sweep

Prize(s)- Xbox 360 console Kinect package (1 given away every 15 minutes)

End Date - November 28, 2010

Entry Frequency - 6x daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - We already own an XBox 360, but having sent it back before for fixing, I can tell you it never hurts to have an extra one just in case. That being said, I suck at winning sweeps like these. For whatever reason, if they are giving away assloads of prizes, I probably won't win. Goes against logic, but that has always been the case with my sweep history.

A clean house....

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Cleaning Authority Sweep

Prize(s)- Free housecleaning for a year

End Date - December 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Simone's Thoughts - This one is a crap shoot as it will only take you to the entry page if they are in your zip code. Of course, smaller entries again, so better odds. I was able to enter in the Austin, TX metro area.

iPad or tires?

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Discount Tire iPad Sweep

Prize(s)- iPad; also giving away a set of 4 tires

End Date - November 20, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - I think I would rather win the tires, but I would take the iPad as well. The best part of sweeps like this is it probably won't get as many entries as other bigger name sweeps, so your odds are better. This is a good time to remind everyone to check your local businesses for sweeps - the odds of winning are great!
