Always looking for freebies!

I never used to be a computer junkie... however after the birth of my second son, money was tight, so I was on the look out for freebies, and coupons that would help us make ends meet..

After days of searching I added an yahoogroup called Contestcanada... and after weeks, I found I was entering contest daily!  Next thing I knew, we built me a computer so that I wouldn't always be on the one my husband used... My first win was a pen!  and after that I was receiving packages nearly every day.. most things were small... books, DVD's, CD's, movie tickets.... then I started receiving bigger more impressive prizes... Concert tickets, spa packages, GC's....  Then I got hooked on Snail mail contests... these cost you a stamp, so I didn't enter as many as some people, but they yield bigger and better prizes...  Trips, electronics, cash.... I did amazing!  In my first year I won over $50k worth of "free" stuff.  But for some reason I stop?  I don't know why, and I do miss it.

But again in search of the "freebies" in life I have Swagbucks...  and I am loving it!  I have earned several gift certificates, just for using there search engine.... I don't stress on it, but it sure does add up.  And just yesterday I found another promising site, very similar to Swagbucks,  It is called Zoombucks, and is Canadian Based... so more freebies on the way...

I think I will looking into contesting again, as I miss the little surprises!  If you know any good Contesting sites here in Canada, please do share?
