Even when we win little whilst comping, we all still gain...

:j And it is true ! We all gain knowledge and facts when entering competitions!!

It was when I was just entering this comp: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/56065433#Comment_56065433 WIN 1 of 3 Award Winning Inlight Organic Line Softeners' , as posted by Mattytun - the discussion below got me thinking! And yes I do believe I have learned loads of interesting facts I didn't know before I started comping. Woop woop and that is a prize in itself!

Seems a pointless thread I know but just wanted to share

Not pointless at all Its nice to think that even though we might not win the prizes we're learning new things.. some prizes would be nice though too

Yes prizes are great but knowledge is priceless ! I am defo more clued up on topics such as film directors etc. When my kids talk about the latest cinema/dvd/game releases I now find that I recognise the names, who stars in them etc, so I don't feel quite so 'dumb' lol! I have also been to a few pub quizes lately and have been able to answer a fair few questions - many of the answers I have picked up on while comping!
