The Things You Get by Entering Giveaways

If you’ve read my blog for long, you know I’m a big fan of giveaways. I’d like to enter even more than I do. Life sometimes gets in the way, though, and I find myself not having as much time as I’d like. But when I do find time, let me tell you, I LOVE it.

Today, I got a bunch of stuff from entering a giveaway. But it didn’t come in the mail. Well, not exactly….

Yup, all from giveaways. (Well, except the yogurt.) How’d I get this from entering a giveaway? Well, several months ago, I won a giveaway for a Nestle prize pack. And part of that prize pack were a whole bunch of coupons for free items. Many of those coupons were expiring at the end of the month, so I decided that it was about time I cashed in on them. The yogurt I got a coupon for from Vocalpoint, I think. I’m actually not 100% certain where it came from. So how’d this break down?

Total Cost: $16.72
Coupons: $16.33
OOP: $.39

Yup, goofy tax. $.39. My first oop of the year. But, I also got checks for some rebates in the mail, so that makes my oop negative for my first time ever. How weird is that? I love couponing. It’s so awesome.
