Coupons Are Great

$30 PayPal Giveaway

by


It’s true, I am no longer a twenty-something and I have officially entered my 30’s.  As silly as it sounds, the saddest part about leaving my twenties was the fact that I am now too old to do the alcohol compliance mystery shops that I used to love.  There is nothing better than free beer and groceries.  I found the company that does the grocery shops at the same location and that made the bound to my 30’s that much better.  One of my best friends flew to Atlanta from Seattle to surprise me last week.  My birthday weekend was absolutely fabulous!

I appreciate each and every supporter of Coupons are Great.  Whether you  visited the site and increased our daily visitor count, shopped through Amazon, printed coupons, signed up for Swagbucks (my favorite way to earn Amazon gift cards – use code JoinIn2010 to get 60 points added to your new account rather than the normal 30), shopped through Ebates, bought a Groupon, purchased a Mamapedia deal, or just left a comment it should be known that I am very thankful for YOU!

Since it was my 30th birthday I am going to show my appreciation to YOU by giving one Coupons Are Great winner $30 deposited to his/her PayPal account.  The winner will have the option of having all $30 OR the winner can decide to keep $19.80 (the year I was born) and have a second winner selected who will receive $12.10 (my birthdate).  It’s a silly little twist to this fun giveaway.

Unlike the other giveaways posted on Coupons Are Great, this one will not be published anywhere else (not on Online Sweepstakes or any other giveaway linky).   This truly is for fans of Coupons Are Great.  There is only one entry method per person to give everyone equal odds of winning.

Thank you so much for being a fan.  Good luck!

Win it!

Prize: $30 paid in the form of PayPal

    paypal has been a pretty handy acct to have..wish i had known about their 45 day dispute procedure… got totally ripped off by a very prominent company, but didn’t know paypal could have helped until it was too late.
    I paisd for a product i never received and now the company won’t acknowledge my calls or emails.

    Ive never heard of alcohol compliance mystery shops! Is that where you shop for alcohol and if they don’t card you, they get fined? Enjoy your 30’s…it’s fun:) I’m in the 40’s and wish I could go back:) annejk112233(at)yahoo(dot)com

    I love Paypal! I sell on Ebay throughout the year and use to buy Christmas gifts with. Sometimes something necessary is needed throughout the year like computer cord…….coffeemaker goes out….or something else, and I just go to Ebay and use Paypal funds!

    What a fun idea for a giveaway! Now, I’m too old to host one of these myself. I’d be too expensive since I’m getting more years on me:)

    I truly appreciate EVERY post you do! All of the above listed sites and wonderful programs I am a part of because of you. I haven’t done a lot with Ebates but just got my first notification that I have received the credit for a purchase. My biggest thanks has to be for the Mystery Shopping posts. I LOVE my job as a mystery shopper and have you to thank for it!
