…AND We Have a Winner!!!
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 always wonder who wins these online contests. I enter 10+ contests each day and the only thing I’ve ever won is a $5 footlong and a t-shirt from Subway.
WOW! Congratulations Fran. Isn’t Hip2Save awesome!??!
Wow, I am so excited, I can’t even type right. I started a comment and hit enter, so I am trying again.
Thanks Collin, for posting this. You sound as excited as I am…I am over the moon.
Thanks ladies, for the lovely comments and well wishes. You cannot begin to believe how exciting this is…my husband is excited as well.
As soon as I see a contest, and I find that I can enter every day, I put it in my favorites, and every day I go down the list and enter each one. Don’t give up…you can be the next winner.
Good luck to all 🙂
i went to maui in august 2 years ago with my grandmother and it was a wonderful place and even more wonderful to have some time to spend with her.

That is amazing! I love actually hearing about the people who win these contests. Congratulations!!!
Congrats, Fran!!! Thanks for sharing. Have fun on your trip! 🙂
I play Pace every day and have won three times. I got 2 of the coupons in the mail this week. FYI: The coupon is not for a “free” jar of salsa; it’s for $4/1. I’ve had issues with cashiers adjusting down coupons, so we’ll see how this goes.
Thanks Leah, and everyone for the kind words 🙂
Leah, Target has the 24 oz. jar for less than $3.00…it’s been a while since I bought mine, but I got overage on them…they are getting the $4.00 back from Campbell’s. They knew that the jars were under $4.00, and still gave it to me. My husband and I both won Pace the maximum allowed…5 each. Congrats on your win,
Thanks again to everyone for all the nice things you had to say…it warms my heart, and I’m glad you could share this with me.
My gosh, Fran, do you ever stop? I mean honestly, do you?! We’re all here congratulating you and you STILL can’t stop being helpful! People like you deserve to win these kinds of contests daily!!! Many, many, many congratulations (and thanks!) to you! Look how happy you’ve made us all–and we’re not even going with you 😀
Ana Elisa, you’re welcome and thank you so much, for all the kind words. I’m so glad Collin posted this so you all could share this with me. I’m glad I could bring some happiness into your lives, because you sure have brought happiness into mine 🙂
