Got an e-mail today that I was one of the 35,000 winners of a five-day supply of RevitaLift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer.

This was a giveaway I’d blogged about in October. (www.goerieblogs.com/cheapinerie/2012/10/loreal-paris-giving-away-moisturizer/)

The e-mail says I’ll get my samples in three to five days. I’m looking forward to it.

That’s on top of the other freebies I’ve received in recent weeks, which have included a small bottle of body wash, a little packet of coffee, a care pack from Kleenex, a really nice razor with several refill blades and a birthday card I gave my brother. I’m sure I’m forgetting a couple others.

Besides the free products, there’s another bonus to all these giveaways. They make opening my mailbox fun. I usually find at least one package a week in there. It’s always exciting to have something to unwrap, especially if you forgot it was coming or didn’t know yet that you’d won it.
