So…have you all been wondering what the final result of my NOT-Extreme Couponing Video contest was?
Here’s the scoop:
The contest ended last Wednesday, and I went to bed with complete confidence that second place was mine for the taking. I had a strong lead and I slept quite well.
Then I checked the voting on Thursday morning. Somehow at the last minute, the fourth place contestant had brought in hundreds of votes.
She beat me by 13 votes.
I will be honest. I licked my wounds for a while. I mean…13 measly votes? If only I had stayed up until the bitter end. I know you guys would have helped keep me strong at second!
But then I realized something: Third place isn’t so bad. Right? In the end, I still won a $100 Amazon gift card thanks to SO many of you that voted, posted on your Facebook wall, tweeted, and shared with your friends and family.
THANK YOU!
In fact, I feel so strongly that I want to thank you all that I’ve decided that I want to share my prize with you. Soooo….
