And the Giveaway Winners are…

The giveaway winners are listed below and will be contacted via email this evening with further instructions. Please do NOT email me if you have specific questions related to the giveaways; instead, you can email bryn@hip2savedotcom (if you are a winner, I strongly encourage you to add the email address bryn@hip2savedotcom to your contacts or to be sure to check your spam folder as some readers have discovered the giveaway email in their spam folder). Thanks!

Please rest assured that all winners are chosen completely at random via a built-in system that randomly selects a set number of winners from each giveaway post. However, once the winners are selected, I review the comment that each winner left to be sure that the required question was answered (i.e state your favorite product over at ______). If the winner failed to answer the required question, then another randomly selected entrant is deemed the winner. I also keep a database of all the winner’s email addresses…this enables me to be sure that the same reader cannot win a giveaway more than once in a 30 day period. Hope this information helps to clarify some of your questions…if you still have questions related to the selection of winners etc, please email bryn@hip2savedotcom. Thanks!
