20 Giveaways for Friday – Freezing Cold Edition

by on Jan 25 2013 - 22 Comments

Welcome to the weekly Friday giveaway post! I decided to make this a weekly post after getting good feedback from last Friday’s giveaway post.

I named this week the “Freezing Cold” edition because it’s been below zero for much of the week here in Minnesota. It’s painfully cold. I’m not sure my 200k+ mile car would make it if I didn’t have a garage to put it in. Ironically, this is the first winter I have ever had a garage.

The giveaways listed below are pretty much all Rafflecopter giveaways. For the most part I will only include non-Rafflecopter giveaways if it’s something worth listing. These giveaways end relatively quickly, for sure before next Friday. Some may even end today! I will only post giveaways (other than my own) that end within the week; otherwise it will be in next Friday’s post (or the week after that, or the week after that, etc.) so you will know pretty quick if you won any that you entered today or over the weekend.

Be sure to enter the $1,000 Cash Giveaway that I’m hosting as well as the $100 Cash Giveaway I’m hosting. I have also confirmed another $500 giveaway that will be starting in a couple weeks.

Best of luck!

All giveaways have ended

What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend?

We have a renter moving in ONE WEEK from today. We still need to get the appliances delivered, finish painting, install a few new light fixtures, sink…needless to say I will be working on it Saturday afternoon/evening as well as Sunday afternoon.

Tomorrow night I will be relaxing with some friends and Saturday morning I have a leadership conference at our church. I need to fit some blogging in at some point, but once we have the renter moved in things should slow down. The rental space is already starting to look great and I think our renter will be pretty excited about the upgrades.

What do you have as a rental unit? I'm thinking of getting one but unsure of getting a house and renting it out or getting a duplex. Any suggestions/advice? @youngadultmoney

 @khangn14   Our basement has a separate entrance that leads into a pretty big room which has a walk-in closet and kitchenette.  Connected to that is a bathroom and from there the laundry room.  That makes everything totally separate except for the laundry room, which we share (if it was someone I don't know I would not offer them the laundry room).  I would recommend a duplex or something that has a separate entrance for a renter.

Wow, fantastic list! Going to go enter some of those right now :)

 

Good luck with all the house work - you sound like the kind of LL I'd LOVE to have.

Welcome to my life! My brother (our tenant) is moving in on Tuesday, so under a week. We have to paint, finish the countertop, put the appliances in, and put in a gas line to the stove. Oh, and clean the suite. It's going to be a busy weekend.

 @addvodka wow Tuesday...that's coming up quick!  Ours won't move in until Friday, but we need every minute until then to get it ready.  The toilet has become a major pain and I'm SO CLOSE to getting it set up.  The drain pipe leaks, though, so I need to go get a new fitting.  Everything takes so long!

Thanks for the list. I'm going to get entered in a couple of them right now.

 

$500 giveaway starting in a couple weeks? Wow, that sounds great. :-)

 @KyleJames1 You might as well get your name in the hat on some of them.  I've won a few giveaways recently and now I'm hooked.

 

Yeah some awesome site is sponsoring the $500 giveaway ;)

You sound busy, but as if things are going well!  Great list of giveaways!

 

If that's a picture out your window, I guess telling you it is 70 degrees in Central Texas won't make you too happy! ;-)  Have a great weekend, and blessings on the leadership conference.

 @Thad P Yes things are definitely going well!  Thanks for the well-wishes.

 

Oh wow 70 degree weather sounds amazing right now.  It's above 0 degrees now so not quite as bad lol but the wind chill is still pretty dang low.

We had one week like that but we probably won't have any more this winter. 30's is absolutely a heat wave in my book. I don't know if I could stand Minnesota cold. Can't wait to hear about more renter adventures and thanks for the giveaway list. Great idea.

How bad is it that I bookmarked your post last week and got so busy that I never got to it?  :) I am going to try and look at some of these today. I love this idea, by the way, DC! Hope you have a great weekend and warm up a little. We've had some -0 nights here, but nothing like Minneapolis.

 @FrugalRules Haha it happens.  I plan on putting these together weekly so if you miss one week there will always be another one next week ;)

 

Minneapolis has been ridiculous lately.  I know some places are even colder, but we really got hit hard.  Makes me wish for 30 degree weather!
