End Date - July 20, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ IP

Simone's Thoughts - Diamonds are overpriced, trips to Hawaii aren't. My advice if you are so lucky as to win this one, would be to take the trip. On the lesser prizes, I would prob pick the diamonds.

Prize(s)- 16GB iPad & pair of Christian Louboutin shoes of your choice up to $1k

End Date - August 30, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - This will sign you up for a newsletter if you enter, but if you enter as many sweeps as I do, you have a specific email for sweeping and don't really care about another newsletter. Its worth it for the prize in my mind.

Entry Frequency - July 30, 2010

Simone's Thoughts - Normally I'm not a big fan of makeover sweeps that involve lots of gift cards, but these are actually pretty good. The fact that it comes w/ $5K cash helps out w/ the inevitable tax burden.

Prize(s)- 8 night trip for two adults to India; also 3 first prizes of a $1,500 Tigressá Carpet GC

End Date - August 20, 2010

Simone's Thoughts - I have always wanted to travel to India. Unfortunately this trip specifies adults, so its a no go as we couldn't take the little man. Someone else should enjoy it though!

End Date - July 15, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Honestly, I'm not a fan of 3D tv. I really don't think the technology is that much better than it was in the 70s when they stuck stuff out toward the screen. Plus it gives me a headache. But on the other hand, there's a golden band... and he loves it.

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Prevention Groceries Sweep

Prize(s)- $1,000 GC to your local grocery store

End Date - August 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I rank free groceries right next to cash as one of the best wins you can get. Its an expense that never goes away and being free of it, even for a little bit helps everyone.

Prize(s)- 10 day Panama Canal cruise for two; also giving away a $250 Visa GC weekly

End Date - July 7, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - I'm the sort of geek who gets pissed when she visits Niagara Falls because there isn't more information about the amount of electricity it generates or the engineering behind it. It stands to reason than that I would love a glimpse at the Panama Canal. This would be a very unique and fun cruise.

Swimsuit season

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Land's End $1,000 Sweep

Prize(s)- $1,000 Land's End GC; also daily prize of $100 LE GC

End Date - May 31, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - Swimsuit season is upon us and in my opinion, Land's End does the best job of creating swimsuits that hold everything in AND last from season to season. You could buy an awful lot of them w/ this win.

As a side note, as you may have noticed, I have stopped posting pics. Lack of time is to blame. Hopefully no-one really cares enough to notice.

Vacation to anywhere

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Hostess Vaca Sweep

Prize(s) - A trip for 2 to anywhere in the world (up to $10,000); also giving away a Flip Mino HD daily

End Date - June 15, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Can't really think of a better vacation than one to anywhere that you want. The only thing that they could have done to improve this would have been to up the ARV as you really can't go to Antartica on this amount of money. So really its anywhere in the world you can go to for under 10 grand for 2 people. Add in the fact that they are giving away a Flip a day and you have a really good sweep on your hands.
