I posted back in October about Little Debbie giving away 125,000 boxes of cupcakes. Well guess what arrived in my mailbox yesterday? A coupon for a free box of Little Debbie Cupcakes!

Now, for some of you who win stuff all the time (like my friend Amy who seems to win something just about every single week!), this might not seem too exciting. But for me–a person who has pretty much never won a giveaway of any sort in her life–it was very exciting! (We won't mention the fact that there were 125,000 winners so the odds were a little in my favor!)

It's only a free box of Little Debbie Cupcakes and I'll just be buying them and sharing them with friends, but the fact that I won, inspired me to consider trying my hand at more giveaways.

Maybe, just maybe, the tide is going to start turning. Probably not, but I'm going to be paying a lot closer attention to the giveaways posted over at Sweetie's Sweeps regardless.

Who knows? Maybe I'll win a truck next!

I won too!

Brenda November 24, 2009 at 6:47 pm

I won a box too!! I never win anything either, but this one I did! I got the coupon Monday & they are already gone. Yum!!! Really, really delicious.

Shelly November 24, 2009 at 6:49 pm

Yay! I got one too, which made it two free boxes, since they had a printable for one as well when we entered the promo. Very exciting!

Cindy November 24, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Yay, you! You really ought to try to find time to enter some giveaways. Our Christmas is going to be free this year thanks to giveaways, and I’ve got some serious loot for the kids. All told, I’ve won about $6000 worth of stuff this year. You probably wouldn’t have time to do that, but I’ve made something of a supplemental income out of it. Food is my favorite thing to win. Well, and the occasional laptop!

Stephanie November 24, 2009 at 7:00 pm

Thanks to your post I also won a coupon!

Shannon Runnels November 24, 2009 at 7:10 pm

Mine arrived in my mailbox yesterday too! I love giveaways!

Emily November 24, 2009 at 7:11 pm

Yum – those remind me of when I was pregnant – I don’t usually buy those but when I was preggo all I could think about was those cupcakes! …and peanut butter…
Have fun – congratulations

Crystal,
My first win was from your blog! It was for Foccacia chips (or something like that) a year ago and I was so excited! Sometimes it is the little things that brighten the day!

Rae November 24, 2009 at 7:50 pm

ooh I hope they are still sending them out and that I won lol. Congrats! :)

Jenn November 24, 2009 at 7:58 pm

Me, too!! I’d forgotten about it but it’ll be a nice little treat!

Daryl Ann November 24, 2009 at 8:09 pm

My coupon arrived in the mail yesterday, but I couldn’t find the cupcakes in the store today! :(

Renata November 24, 2009 at 8:18 pm

lol! I thought for a moment that you won 125000 boxes of cupcakes :-)
Congratulations on your one box. It is fun to win these things.

Cheryl November 24, 2009 at 8:45 pm

I won too! Thanks for posting.

Melissa November 24, 2009 at 9:16 pm

Congratulations!! This post reminded me–whatever happened to the blog contest you were a part of. I don’t remember reading how it ended. I hope you won!

Sweetie November 24, 2009 at 9:21 pm

A win is a win is a win they say. Congratulations on yours Crystal. I guess I like winning prizes more than saving money on groceries but I bet you save as money as I do with my wins so it all works out about even. And, winning takes patience and time. What you do gets immediate results. But, hey, it’s all good right :-)

I just won my second trip of the year. My son is going to the SEC Football Championship with Dad VIP style next week and he’s thrilled. And, in two weeks we leave for our trip to Florida. I definitely love winning sweepstakes and it’s been a very good year – about $14,000 total in prizes.

Keep up the good work and thanks for the “link love.”

Wendy
P.S. I got my Little Debbie cupcake coupon too :)

Melissa S. November 24, 2009 at 9:29 pm

Mine came today!

Ashlei November 24, 2009 at 9:58 pm

I won too! YEAH! However, it is just my luck to win a box of cupcakes instead of that 50 million lottery ticket;) Oh well, my little boy will think he won the lottery since I don’t ever buy these!

Gina S. November 24, 2009 at 10:23 pm

I got one too! Yay!

Kayla November 24, 2009 at 11:02 pm
