$400.00 in gift cards

May 11th, 2007 at 06:51 pm

I won that contest at my work for April. We get $400.00 in gift cards if we make 160% of production, which I hit! YAY!

Anyway, next week I'll be getting:

$100 gift card to Lowes
$100 gift card to Walmart
$200 gift card to Super G

I plan on using the Lowes to replace the insides of my toilets (they keep running). I'm using the Walmart to get some gifts for planned birthdays, some clothes (just for work)and some groceries.The Super G is my regular grocery store, so that should cover my grocery budget for 2-3 months. I'll be putting that grocery money from the budget towards my student loan.

Very nice!

Wow that's some contest! Congratulations!

PS My husband won two really nice travel mugs at Les Schwab Tires today. MD had to get 4 new tires and she got a scratch off, which she gave to her dad.

That's great! I recently earned $40 in gift vouchers doing surveys. It's great to get them!
