I also only enter giveaways I really want to win. It sounds silly, but I know people that enter every giveaway they see, and although they win, they have no use for the prize. For instance, I have a friend at work who won an 8 person tent. She and her husband are both disabled and don't go camping! There is the thrill of winning that keeps people entering. I only enter giveaways for things I will actually use or something that would make a meaningful gift for someone I know (for example, I already have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, but my sister-in-law wants one so I try to win one for her).Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078891198305465546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417510527126205348.post-9800305456196680672015-10-13T07:21:52.354-04:002015-10-13T07:21:52.354-04:00I love giveaways!

Everyone tells me I'm lucky but I'm really diligent and follow all of your tips above. <br />When I was pregnant with my daughter I won a carseat, stroller, playmat and several other big items. It helped us so much and then I donated everything when I was done. <br />Last year, at Christmas, I one a $700 prize package. It made our Christmas and also allowed us to be more generous to others.

It does help save a ton on Christmas and stretch your budget for a wonderful holiday :)<br />I have a folder in my bookmarks for entered giveaways, but I like the idea of a pinterest board...that usually means more entries too!! ;)Randi Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733835395527590988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417510527126205348.post-56485913501301978672015-10-07T18:11:59.079-04:002015-10-07T18:11:59.079-04:00Great idea on the local giveaways!

It's numbers. If you enter enough, you will win.

They tend to have very low entries. I think Twitter parties are the easiest way to win, but they are very time consuming so I don't do them as often as I'd like.
