The Big Race: Cast Your Vote for a Prize!

Last week I posted about my Big Race, and some of you asked if could do this regularly.  So, your wish is my command…

Actually, my Big Race tonight is going to be a bit more like a 100 yard dash.  I already headed to CVS today to get this moneymaking deal (it worked!), and I did my grocery shopping last week.  I’m meeting a friend for coffee tonight, and before I do so I’m just going to run into Target to snag a few deals.

I also heard back from some of you that you think you could give me a ‘run for my money’ if this were an actual timed race.  So, that gave me an idea.

Why not time myself?

And that’s exactly what I’m going to do.  To make it even more fun, I want YOU to guess how long you think it will take me.  The winner will receive a $5 Amazon gift card! (Yep…I just used some of my Swag Bucks to snag it!)

Here are the rules: I will list below the items that I am going to purchase.  You need to guess the exact time that you think it will take for me to finish shopping–from the minute I step into Target to the minute I step out.  The person closest to the exact time will win.  If more than one person guesses correctly, the prize will go to the person who guessed first. I will end this contest sometime tomorrow (6/19/09) and post the winner.

OK–here’s my list:

  • (2) Kraft BBQ sauces
  • (1) A-1 Sauce
  • (1) Miracle Whip  (Find out more about these deals here.)

I should add that I tend to be slightly competitive–and while I may opt not to run, speed walking is not out of the question.

Ok…Runners take your mark, get set, GUESS!!!!

    My guess is 14 minutes, most of the stuff is near each other, but you know something is going to catch your eye 😉 its never a quick trip to Target.

    I’m guessing 18 minutes………..because you run into someone you know and have a small chat!
