I've come close to giving up on entering online contests. A lot of times, I don't want to give out my address if I DO win, so that keeps me from entering. On the (still many) contests that I do enter, I just don't win. But when these impossibly easy contests come up, sometimes they just so happen to be giving away something that is apparently *needed* in my house - I can't help myself - even if the odds are getting close to those of the Powerball (which, I never win, either). The Man has been bugging me for a new TV for some time and doesn't seem to understand that they cost money. Money we don't have. Enter the ladies from
5 Minutes for Mom.
5 Minutes for Mom is having a contest sponsored by
Best Buy and are giving away an
Insignia® 37″ Flat-Panel LCD HDTV.
Entering is really easy. Just leave them a comment and tell your blog friends about it.
5 Minutes for Mom is a great site, for they are the girls who started the
Ultimate Blog Party – which is how I met
Kelly,
Sugar Kane,
Chesca and
Mrs. Lady (and maybe other people, my memory sucks).
So if your guy won’t shut the hell up about buying a new flat-panel regardless of your financial status…or you just want to win something, head on over there and comment. But hurry! The contest ends August 17th.

I headed over there. I posted ..NOT to win but I actually stuck a little comment in there telling them I hope you win. Good luck to you ..my fingers are crossed.
Go Butrfly! And I'm just like you with contests--I often don't enter, and I never EVER win!
Ohhh good idea Canadian Flake, I'll pop over and tell them I think Butrfly should win too.
I would love a flat screen , but have need to get rid of an obnoxious big screen that hubby talked me in to years ago.
Man I wish you could trade those suckers in like cars and then put down a little cash to upgrade.
Aw, that's sweet guys! I don't think it will help much, though. It's a random drawing.
[little voice] You have to post something on your blog about the contest to really enter aaaaaaand...I needed something to post. So it worked out for everyone. Well, for me. Twice. [/little voice]
Just an FYI- people really DO win contests online. I entered one for Marie Claire magazine once and won about $300 worth of Anna Sui makeup.
Yay!
Though, I haven't won anything since...

You can have my entry. You deserve it, in fact we have too many TV's. Want one of ours?
Good luck in the contest! You deserve to win something.
