Amazon logo New contest! $100 Amazon gift card, tax software, and fitness boot camp!I know I just gave away more than 100 prizes totaling well over $1,000 to celebrate BargainBabe.com’s two-year anniversary, but I just realized we have almost 10,000 email subscribers. So I couldn’t help but throw another contest to thank everyone!

The prizes include:

  • $100 Amazon gift card
  • Six copies of H&R Block’s At Home Premium tax prep software (priced at $49.95). Federal filing fees are included; state fees apply. Donated by H&R Block.
  • Free 30-day fitness boot camp at Tiger Fitness LA (worth $299) donated by Spaphile, an LA spa discount site.

To win, join my daily or weekly email list AND leave a comment about which prize you want to win. This ensures that people who really want to win, have a BIG chance of winning. Keep in mind the boot camp takes place in Los Angeles. If you want to be in the running to win every prize, that’s okay too!
