Enter to Win $500 Gift Cards!

As we head into this fabulous holiday weekend, you can end this week with the chance to win some $500 gift cards! How long could you eat donuts for breakfast with that? I'd certainly enjoy finding out. Mmmm... I do love donuts and coffee. Then there's a chance to shop CVS with the same amount. I'd watch the sales and stretch it to re-stock some things around the house. Finally, there is an all-around card to spend as you wish! What a great way to bring in autumn!

I will be taking the holiday off, so regular posts will resume on Tuesday. Unless, of course, I get a wild hair to go out of state with my son, to see another son and the grandkids. Then it may be a day or two more. It's always nice when someone else can drive : )

In Winning News, I finally used the two movies tickets and $15 in concession money that I won. My youngest son and I went to see "War Dogs" last weekend (it is rated R, so it's not for youngsters. My youngest is 22.). It was an enjoyable day out, and it was a fun movie to see. It was also interesting to see that the movie had a part that was filmed at the Rock Island Arsenal, which is near where I live. I wonder when Jonah Hill was here?

In other news, that same son scored an M&Ms Racing Suit for his Xbox Avatar. This, when I was notified that I won third prize in the M&M’s Brand Convenience Store Sweepstakes that was in this post. I had previously won a similar item from Snickers, so now he has the start of a collection!

That's it for now. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Oh, Heavenly Day! It's Bacon, Pretzels, and Donuts!

Though I am not much of a snacker, and most of what we eat at home is homemade and on the healthy enough side, occasionally, I still like to splurge and to indulge. So, today's sweeps offer the chance to do just this!

This sweet, salty, and savory combination (bacon, pretzels, and donuts), seems to me, like it could all be rolled into one delicious and decadent delight! Oh, the yum of it all...

In any event, the prizes all look good, too!

Dunkin’ Rocks Summer Sweepstakes

You can also enter this sweeps by texting "DDrocks" to short code 30364. This is only available through participating carriers, which are listed in the rules.

I am not sure why this is in a set of sweepstakes rules (possibly just for the use of the winning codes?), so personally, I will enter this one online. As always, it's your entry, so your choice is up to you.
