…AND We Have a Winner!!!
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Thursday, April 29th, 2010 at 9:58 pm.

Yay! I am jumping up and down… I’m so excited! Not ONLY am I having tons of fun in Lafayette… BUT I just received this email from one of my amazing readers:
Hi Collin,
I know you are away, but I don’t think this could wait, as I am so excited. Do you remember you posted a coupon for Green Giant Klondike potatoes and there was a contest that you could enter for a trip to Maui? Well, I got a phone call and an email today…check this out, it is part of the email:
*********************************
Good Afternoon Fran,
Congratulations on your win!
You have won a 7 Night Vacation to Maui which includes round trip airfare, 7 night stay at the Wailea Marriott Resort and a rental car. As I explained on the phone, you can use it for this trip or use the vouchers for other travel. You have one year to use. The voucher is for $4000 which is a little more than what this trip was priced at in January. Dependent upon airfare pricing at this time, you will most likely have some of that voucher left over to either book excursions on the island.
******************************
Do you friggin believe it? I am in shock, to say the least…I’m still flying high from the news. Thank you for posting this offer…it’s because of you that I saw this contest.
Ummmm… isn’t that so AWESOME!!! I love to hear when my readers are winners and BIG wins like this, well, make me smile from ear to ear and want to jump up and down… and scream! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us, Fran! I am so happy for you. Now if only you could take me in your suitcase!
I hope reading stories like this gets you all motivated to enter those contests and sweepstakes. Like reader, Fran, you just never know, one of these days may be your lucky day!

The Pace contest isn’t for a free item. It is for $4 off Pace. If it were for free, I couldn’t use it at the commissary, but since it was $4 off, I bought a huge container of Pace for $6 and paid only $2. In my mind, that was way better than a free container. I don’t know why, but the military commissary will not let you use a free coupon unless it is buy one, get one. It seems crazy to me, but it is their rule.
BTW Great trip! It is awesome that one of your readers won it!

Congratulations! What an awesome trip to win!
Keep in mind tax consequences in mind regarding winning sweepstakes. If you win a prize over $600, you’ll receive a 1099 from the company giving the prize for the value of the prize, which you’ll have to report on taxes. Since they don’t take taxes out of the prize winnings, you’ll have to pay them at tax time.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that they announced my name on their site, if you’d like to check it out. The site is klondikebrands.com…you will see at the bottom left, “Maui winner announced”…if you click that you will see my name. You can also hold your mouse over “Maui winner announced”, and then move it up slightly, and a box will appear with my name and state.
Thank you all, for sharing this with me…you all have been so sweet
Also, I do know that I have to pay taxes…that is one of the forms that I had to fill out, so that is already taken care of.
We probably will be taking the trip the end of the summer, so I’ll still be around for a while, and I will let Collin know when we are leaving so that you all can know too.
Leah says:
