Sweepstakes Title/Link - TLC Gerber Giveaway

Prize(s) - various amounts of baby food & cash

End Date - March 31, 2009

Simone's Thoughts - I don't usually post kid giveaways here on my blog, but nothings better than free food. We actually make our own baby food, but you won't see me turning it down if we won!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Travel Channel Turks and Caicos

Prize(s) - 6 day/ 5 night trip for 2 to Parrot Cay - Turks and Caicos

End Date - March 31, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - First off, I believe its pronounced Kay-koas (like coast without the 't'.) Secondly, I guess I am longing to be on a beach somewhere and for some inane reason, I haven't won millions of dollars yet to enable me to do so. Hopefully, those footprints in the sand will be mine shortly. If you answer the trivia question correctly, you can get an extra entry for the day.

Dreams will come true...

Sweepstakes Title/Link - United Airlines Hawaii Vacation

Prize(s) - 5 night trip for 2 to Oahu, HI

End Date - March 28,2009

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - We have never been to Hawaii, so I enter these sweeps like crazy. Yet to win one, but its only a matter of time. The ARV on this one ($6,000) isn't too out of wack either.

Seacrest Out!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Shell Gas Cards Giveaway

Prize(s) - $50 Shell Gas Card (1 per hour given away)

End Date - March 8, 2009

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - We can all use free gas and with 168 of these babies being given away, the odds aren't bad!

Coco Cabana!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - “Win Your Run Happy® Place” Promotion

Prize(s) - Cabana, treadmill, TV & other random prizes

End Date - March 31, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I normally shun sweepstakes that have big prizes with big ARVs and no cash with which to pay the tax man, but this sweep has some gorgeous prizes. That being said, enter with caution. You may be able to adjust the $32,000 ARV a bit come tax time, but probably not that much to were the tax man won't come at all!

Shoes, shoes!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Platform Heels

Prize(s) - The shoes pictured above in your choice of colors

End Date - March 6, 2009

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - This is a comment sweep, so you have to leave a comment to enter. Specifically, you have to say what you fav color is in this shoe. Stripper heels seem to be making a comeback this summer and these are some of the least tacky I have seen. Good luck!

$1000 Gas Card!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Scotch Brite Gas Card

Prize(s) - 20 - $1000 Gas Card

End Date - March 31, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person or email

Simone's Thoughts - Even though gas is down, it looks like it is going back up and everyone can always use more money for gas!

Pink Bling....

Sweepstakes Title/Link - BK Pink Panther Instant Win

Prize(s) - Diamond and pink sapphire necklace

End Date - March 3rd, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - A code is required, but you can request one on the website. I'm not sure that I actually like how this necklace looks, but I'm pretty sure I could learn to love it if I won.

Cold as a....

Sweepstakes Title/Link - H2O PLUS BAHAMAS

Prize(s) - 6 day/ 5 night trip for 2 to Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas.

End Date - February 12, 2009

Entry Frequency - 1X per person (I tried though and its acting like 1x per household.)

Simone's Thoughts - Ok, so its not really that cold down here in Texas. Our winters are mild and summers are hot. That doesn't mean that I don't still want to go and lounge on a tropical beach.

I bless the rains down in Africa....

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Ultimate Safari Sweepstakes

Prize(s) - 7-day/6-night trip for two to Tanzania

End Date - January 30,2009

Entry Frequency - daily per household

Simone's Thoughts - Africa trips don't come up that frequently, so when they do, you want to jump on them. The ARV on this one is $15,000, but that is probably how much a trip of this sort would cost. Figure you would be paying taxes on the trip of a lifetime.

25k A Day!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Room a Day Giveaway

Prize(s) - Check for $25,000 (16 winners!)

End Date - March 6, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - There are some instant prizes on this one as well. Essentially, the reason you should enter is in the title. I know I could use the extra cash and I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who can't use the money right now. If you are one of those people, butt out and leave the sweeps to those who need it! Hahaha!

Money, money, money, money... mon-nah!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Wendy's 99 Cent Bid for Value

Prize(s) - 10G, 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SE

End Date - January 14, 2009

Entry Frequency - as many as you can get in

Simone's Thoughts - Ok, so this isn't really a sweepstakes, more of a free bid auction. You register and then come back to the site on January 13, 2009 @2:00 PM EST for the Bill Payoff ($10,000) and then January 14, 2009 @ 2:00 PM EST for the Hyundai 2008 Santa Fe SE. You answer trivia ? about Wendy's and for each correct answer you get to "place a bid." If your bid is the 99 cent bid, then you win the prize. I know it sounds confusing, but its pretty easy. Really the hardest part of this sweep is having the patience to deal with their server not being able to handle all the traffic. Use Firefox if you have it, IE didn't work so well with this. Good luck!

Crème de la Crème

Sweepstakes Title/Link - HGTV Dream Home

Prize(s) - HGTV dream home in Sonoma, CA & a 2009 GMC Acadia

End Date - February 19, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - If you enter just one sweepstakes a year - this should be that one. This is the sweepers dream win. Now, don't fall in love with this house, because you can't keep it if you win. Unfortunately, unless you are already rich enough to afford this house, you aren't going to have enough money for the property taxes. But take heart, the amount of money you can sell the house for will allow you to buy a perfectly good home or homes more in your budget!

Variety is the spice of life....

Sweepstakes Title/Link - FLN HOLIDAY GIFT-A-RAMA SWEEPSTAKES

Prize(s) - Varies daily

End Date - December 29, 2008

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - I love sweepstakes that have different prizes everyday - it really tosses up the monotony of sweeping. These prizes are pretty good, although they aren't 1k prizes or anything.
