Savvy with Abbie

I am officially in my 6th year of entering and winning giveaways, sweepstakes and freebies. I am considering putting together a course of who to follow, how to pick out scams, what contests are worth putting extra time into, etc. If I get enough interest, I will put this together so please comment and let me know below! Also, if you need or want a tagging buddy, please send me a message or leave a comment and follow me on my accounts below: Facebook Page - Personal Facebook Page - Business Twitter Page - Personal Instagram Page - Personal Below is a list of freebies that I have won every year since 2015: Freebies 2015 Freebies 2016 Freebies 2017 Freebies 2018 Freebies 2019 Freebies 2020 So far, my favorite wins have been a meet and greet with Sublime with Rome, $1,500 cash, concert tickets to see Pitbull in concert, a $600 gift card to Nordstrom, and 6 vacuums from the Bob Vila Sweepstakes! If you want to know where to start when it comes to giveaways, I have a blog for that - just cli

Update September 10, 2024: I have been behind on updating my blogs for giveaways but since 2020 when I first put this blog together, I've had some huge wins! In January 2023, I received two $2,000 Visa gift cards (one for me, one for Kevin) and in June 2024, I won my biggest giveaway to date - a check for $12,000! I couldn't believe it! There are several things that I have learned over the past 10-12 years of entering giveaways - 1. Consistency is key - I enter giveaways daily. Who knew that a giveaway that I entered a few months ago could impact me so much today? 2. Slow down - By this, I mean when you enter on Instagram, be sure to not tag and enter too quickly or Instagram will see you as a bot and pause/stop your account (this has happened several times to me with the most I've been banned was one week) 3. Once you get your first win, you won't want to stop! Don't give up, it takes time, and once you get that first win, you will hopefully see that it's wor

Before I put together this blog of 2020 freebies and giveaways I won, I had no idea that I have been entering giveaways since 2014. And I have no reason to stop now. I have won a lot over the years, a lot of big things, and I also use is as a "side job" sometimes to win things and sell them for extra money or give as gifts. Either way, I'm looking forward to 2020. Below is a list of the blogs that I have made every year up to this point and I what I won during that year. If you would like to be tagged or notified of giveaways that I enter, just comment below and I'll start tagging you! - Freebies and giveaway wins 2014 - Freebies 2015 - Freebies 2016 - Freebies 2017 - Freebies 2018 - Freebies 2019 Here is what I have won in 2020: - $100 Gymboree Gift Card (won in 2019, received in 2020) - $50 Paypal (received) - $600 Nordstrom gift card (!!!) - $15 Amazon gift card - $50 Doordash Gift card - 8 reusable produce bags - A Mother knot necklace -BBQ Swag

**Update: Congratulations to the winner - Ashley Sammons! **Update: I am extending out this contest through December 6th, 2019. Winner will be drawn and announced on December 7th, 2019. I have been slacking hardcore with this blog but I promised once I hit 100,000 followers, I will be running a giveaway. When I started this blog in 2014, I had no idea that it would be a huge hit. My blog initially was about my life, my "love" life, or lack of love life, poems, the single life, and I really created it as a way to vent. Little did I know that 4 years later, I would create my first Recipe blog post ( HERE ) and have 64,599 views on one post! That's really when my blog took off. Of course, I still throw in a review, a personal blog, or a freebie post now and then but it's mainly been recipes the past year. I do want to say Thank you! Thank you for caring so much about my life (although I don't find my life THAT interesting), thank you for reading my recipes

Fifteen months ago I decided to take a huge risk and jump into a sudden move to California. I knew what to expect before moving here: High rent, high housing, high gas prices, expensive food, expensive drinks, but at that point in time, and still to this day, the rewards outweigh the risks. Moving from Utah to California I have experienced a new dynamic, a different social atmosphere, a paradise, amazing and fresh olive oil, wine, wine tasting, amazing views, cuisine, fresh food, rolling hills, cooler weather and stunning sunsets. But fifteen months later, here I am. Unemployed. Again. I knew finding a job would be hard but I didn't realize that keeping a job would be harder. Utah's job force was extremely opposite of what I have experienced thus far. I had a job for six and a half years, another for three and a half years. Since moving here, I had a job for ten months, was unemployed for two months, was employed for two more months and, as of today, unemployed. So it's b

Some of you may not know but, although I am not an extreme couponer and I am not cheap, I love to win things! Most of the time I win things through Facebook contests and giveaways/sweepstakes.
