Does Anyone REALLY Win Those Things?

Since reading every line of a store receipt to determine savings and value is one of my fav things to do, I often note the online survey at the end of many, many retail receipts these days. Some claim prizes of gifts cards, some claim prizes of cash, and all of the prizes are BIG (in my humble opinion).

I have never participated in one of these surveys. So inquiring minds want to know...

Have you ever participated in a survey at the end of a retail receipt?

*AND*

Have you ever one the prize they claim they give away to one lucky participant?

Do tell!

LL Bean - Free Shipping Code!

Tis the season for Internet shopping at our house. I totally understand that it costs $ to get my goodies to me, but I try really, really hard to exhaust all options for finding a free shipping code whenever I shop online. "Really, really hard", btw, is a general Internet search - sooo simple. I guess Amazon has spoiled me with their free shipping over $25.

Anywho, LL Bean has a shipping code that has worked for me twice in the last 2-3 weeks, so I'm going to share it with you now so you can save a few bucks too. Enter promo code: 3012422 and you too should enjoy free shipping (until 1/1/2010).

Enjoy! :)
