Savvy with Abbie

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.

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. Last year I won quite a bit and I wanted to start from the beginning of January 2015, and share everything I receive this year in a blog post. Let's see if it's worth putting time into. Here is what I have won so far in 2015: - $25 Texas Roadhouse gift card -- Used in March 2015 - Fabric patterns (Valued at $100+) Sold to my sister for $10 - Animal applesauce containers - Sold to my sister for $5 - Downtown Abbey prize pack- Over $100 value -- Sold all for $30 - Digital Kitchen Scale - Sold for $10 -A necklace + Two Earrings from an Etsy Shop -Free E-Book - $25 Etsy gift card - Eve of Joy -Two tickets to the Utah State Basketball game (Couldn't go, didn't pick up tickets) -Burlap Pillowcase - Gave to my sister -All Natural Chapstick -Downloadable Planner -One silver

In January 2014, I started doing giveaways and sweepstakes through Facebook. I decided that I would discuss what it's all about and if it's worth the time. Sometimes I will spend hours on end just entering contests and giveaways. There are certain pages on Facebook that offer giveaways or sweepstakes and they do require liking the page, liking another social network, commenting on a post, liking a post, subscribing on YouTube, etc. Some are more extensive than others. I have to say that doing this has been 100% worth it. I have won countless prizes and even have birthday present and Christmas presents tucked away. Below is a list of SOME of the stuff I have won or received.
