Preferred comps

Fishcake_Random

So I'm just wondering what comps everyone goes for?
I avoid holiday comps as we're a family of 6 so we don't tend to fit them, plus we don't have passports.
I also avoid large cash prizes as they tend to get thousands of entries.

I mostly aim for food, kids stuff, toiletries (but not make up) and games/dvds

What do you all do?

I enter for most things as they will always have a home, having family that are expecting, toddlers and children in our families etc.

Competitions I tend to avoid.
I avoid anything with the word spa in it, unless I can gift it, as it isn't really something I would enjoy.
I avoid any holidays abroad as I don't currently have a passport.
We are planning for our wedding but very slowly and haven't booked a date yet, so in no hurry but anything I can win is a bonus for it, except the prizes that have to be taken before 2020 that are wedding related that can't be saved.
I tend to stay away from ticket competitions unless they are within a certain distance.
I've reached my limit of following on Twitter so I don't tend to enter a lot of those, that and because I've only ever won a couple.

I enjoy entering competitions on Facebook and Gleam as I tend to have more luck with those, unless it involves Facebook sharing, I'm against most of them.

Why is that? If it's free to enter surely it's worth entering if it only takes a minute? I could understand not wanting to pay for entry for the cash comps but excluding yourself just because there are thousands of entrants seems mad

I won a bauer radio £2000 competition a couple of months ago and last year won a $500 rafflecopter comp that had 52,000 entries and I only done 2/50 entries for it

Back on topic, I generally enter for things I want, need or can gift to family. I usually avoid effort based comps because I'm lazy and not usually talented enough to come up with witty captions or good art that may be required for entry :rotfl:

Providing the dates are flexible or far enough in the future, I enter most holiday competitions providing flights and accommodation are included. Sometimes I enter if flights are excluded depending on location.. One listed on here earlier in the week was for a holiday to barbados all inclusive but flights excluded. I'd happily pay for flights if the rest was all inclusive
