Do you have a budget for competitions?
I LOVE entering comps- but I’m wondering if I should allocate a budget for entering the purchase required comps? Does anyone do this? Or just go
bananas for the ones you think you’ve got a great chance at winning? |

Purchase comps...... I usually but things I can use. I rarely buy big quantities of anything. Just enough to have a couple of entries and then win
or not, I can use the items or give them to my kids.
Most online comps cost nothing to enter.
Prize wins 2014: $37680
Prize wins 2011: $13000
previous years about $25000
The harder you work the luckier you get

I don't have a budget but I only buy items I can use. I don't buy food or drinks etc if I don't eat or drink those foods (like Coca Cola) but
occasionally buy food that my grandchildren will eat. It was great when I had kids at home as I bought a lot more competition food.
I remember the first ever big competition I won which was a cruise. I can't remember the actual item I bought - it was a cleaning item which cost $10
- and I thought about it for several weeks and ended up buying it as there was a second prize. Amazingly I won the main prize!
I limit myself to chocolate and lolly comps as I would be the size of a house it I bought and ate too many |

I don't have a comping budget, try to keep within my usual food etc budget, but any gift cards or vouchers I win are then used for more product
purchase comps. So therefore with one win I enter more comps and then sometimes win again, been doing that for years.
Also have a large family to share my purchases and wins with. |

Ha ha we had a few fought months when my membership was due so I let it lapse for a tiny bit…. I’m so glad to be back though. I absolutely love this
site- and comping brings me so much joy! I entered the BWS birthday comp and the kids made a birthday cake with me so that entry will hopefully bring
us $100 shortly. Already ahead 🤣
Zen - that’s the best story!!! |
