captain_slinkyThe Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes wants to send me TEN FREE GIFTS with my first order, with a value of, and I'm quoting here, "Nearly $30"!
That breaks down to an average "value" of each gift being just $3.
EVERY DAY they send me an email with giant lists of "Gifts" I should buy from them... usually stuff like a DVD of old public domain WWII movies that sells at even over-priced drug stores for under $5, or a "collectors Tin" full of about $1 worth of Dollar Store candy, all for the low-low-SUPER-low easy pay price of $29.95!
So considering that they "Value" dollar store candy and $5 DVD's at $30 each, what do you suppose these gifts could be that are valued at just $3 each?!?!?
I figure it's got to be a "Fun Size" pack of M&M's with ten candies in it. "Each delightfully crunch candy is coated in it's own colorful, 100% bio-degradable candy coating GUARANTEED to bring back nostalgic memories of childhood. Each candy is monogrammed with a lower-case letter 'm', proving that they are the genuine article and not some cheap knock-off! Available in several memorable colors such as Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Dark Brown, Light Brown and Orange! You'll have hours of fun trading with your friends trying to get a full set of all the delightful colors!"
