Meet Our Latest Winners!

I was really happy to get an email from the Primary Times Edinburgh telling me I had won a bundle of The Batch Lady cookbooks! Lots of great recipes and tips and hints,and instructions about cooking and freezing meals in batches, so that you can cook when you want to and not when you need to! One of the books is about cooking on a budget, very useful in these difficult times of rising food prices. Really happy to have won! My daughter has them at the moment and is also finding them to be really handy and very interesting.

I entered a competition on Instagram run by a shopping centre not too far away. It was to win 4 tickets to my Fair Lady on tour. It was such a lovey surprise to find out I had won. I love the film but had never seen the stage show. We all enjoyed it and we had great seats. A lovely family evening out that has brightened our January. Going to the theatre as a family is an expensive treat so it was lovely for my daughters to have this experience. My youngest struggled a bit with the late night but as it was a Saturday she had a good lie in on Sunday !

I was lucky enough to find this Advent comp on the Prizefinder and it was a text comp. I was just leaving for work to walk home when a ping came in and it was a winning text message telling me I had won a Bonne Maman Advent Calendar.

I was delighted with it when it arrived, beautifully packaged, and full of delightful pots of wonderfully flavoured jams, marmalades and conserves which were great with my breakfast in the run-up to Crhistmas. There was an added bonus of a jam spoon on Day 1 and a little tea light holder on Day 24. Very nice! I have never won an Advent Calendar before and this was a highly luxurious one so thank you Prizefinder!

I've just had a great December/January! A £10 Morrisons voucher, a Kindle Fire HD 64GB, a £100 Beefeater voucher, a National Trust hamper bought with prize vouchers, £250 from Walkers Crisps hourly prize draw & to top it all £1000 from Mastercard! I couldn't believe it when I got a notification text from my bank to say the money had gone into my account - it was the first I'd heard about it! An email arrived a day or two later. The best thing is I can share my winnings and goodies - in fact I'm treating my daughter and her fiancé to lunch today with the Beefeater vouchers. I absolutely love this hobby!

I was lucky enough to win two Christmas jumpers this year. The first one is from Lucozade and is a very nice quality limited edition jumper. It's the blue and white one. The only fly in the ointment is that we weren't allowed to request a size. I find it really annoying when competitions do that. I guess it's a cost saving measure, but it really takes the shine off a prize if they send you something that doesn't fit.
The second prize is from Guiness and they were much more accommodating and allowed me to request a size. So that one actually fits very nicely. I like the subtle design on the Guiness jumper, it’s not immediately obvious that it’s a promotional item, but when you recognise the glasses in the design, you can see how it fits so well with the branding.
They are both very nice quality and the Guiness one was presented very nicely. I love winning unusual prizes like this, they certainly are good talking points at a party.

December did not disappoint for wins!

I tended to concentrate on social media comps as I'm able to do those easily on the bus to/from work and in my lunch hour!
Found a nice local comp and had an early advent win on the 1st Dec - a £20 Voucher to spend at a local Italian cafe - so managed to buy some nice food for the family for Xmas.
Had an instagram win of a Hawaiian Xmas Shirt for hubby - it's brilliant and he really liked it!
Donut Baking Kit - think this was a freebie!
MY BEST WIN - an iPad 64gb from Vision Direct on Facebook. In all there were 14k entries, so it just goes to show that just one entry and a little LUCK sometimes works!
Got a phone call from Asda to say I've won a Lindt Hamper - hopefully that will arrive soon.

Thanks PrizeFinder as always at finding/listing the comps!

I won this gift card with the Wilko's/Glade contest.That's the winning candle behind the gift card.
There's nothing I like better than winning a gift card. Don't get me wrong, cash is great. But too often it goes towards buying the necessities of life like bills or food, or it just disappears into your bank account.
But with a gift card, you have to buy something just for you. Although Wilko's gives you plenty of choice to buy practical items that you've been wanting for months, but just haven't got around to buying.
£100 goes a long way in Wilko's. I've made two trips to the store, and I still have £30 to spend. I've picked up some practical items, extension cords and a plug with two USB ports. But I'm glad to say, that alongside the practical, I treated myself to a lovely holly plant in a metallic red pot. Something that will remind me of my win, when Christmas rolls around again.

It was a guess who will win the World Cup 2022.
Everyone seemed to go for England (wishful thinking) I asked my partner in all honesty who did he think would win - if not England like everyone wanted.
He said Argentina, so I kept that in mind and put them as my answer.
It won us a 50 inch smart TV.
My youngest was thrilled when it was delivered, (she felt poorly just before and then made a miraculous recovery) they delivered it the next morning. I wasn't prepared when I answered the door to have 2 men and a massive TV stood there. Definitely made Christmas and made all the time and effort I spend doing comps worth it.

We've been watching the pennies, including keeping the heating off, so I had upped my comping to try to win some treats for presents. I'm not usually very lucky with advents, but I won with Guinness on Day 1 of their advent! I was really pleased as my husband loves Guinness, and it came in time to wrap up for Christmas - and have something to keep him warm!

I won a 50" Smart TV with Soundbar & Wireless Subwoofer courtesy of Kiss FM. After a few weeks the prize was delivered by John Lewis as this is where it was ordered by Bauer Media. It came with a years subscription to Discovery+ which my wife is happy about as these are the sort of programmes she likes. It arrived in time for me to watch the World Cup, so happy days. The only downside..... Nobody in my household can enter any Bauer Media comps (and there are a lot!) for 6 months as per their terms & conditions as the prize is worth over £500.
