This month, the Impulsive Buy will be giving away a $25 Starbucks gift card to one lucky reader. For some of you, that’s a work week’s worth of Starbucks coffee. For others, that’s two or three days of Starbucks. And for one or two super-hyper people, a $25 Starbucks gift card will sustain them for less than eight hours.

To enter The Impulsive Buy’s Starbucks gift card drawing, leave a comment with THIS post. I don’t care what you say in your comment, but it would be awesome if you shared your go to Starbucks drink. Or leave behind the name of the barista you have a crush on.

The Impulsive Buy will stop accepting entries on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time.

Here’s the winner of last month’s Subway gift card prize drawing:

Christian

Congratulations, Christian! Twenty-five dollars will buy you a lot of tuna on wheat with mustard, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, cucumber, and extra hot peppers.

Thanks to everyone who participated and be on the lookout for a new prize drawing later this month.

In February, Subway will bring back their “any regular footlong for $5” promotion. So I think this month would be a good time to give away a $25 Subway gift card.

If my math is correct, you can get five $5 Subway footlongs with a $25 gift card. Unless you live on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where you can only get four footlongs because we pay six dollars.

This month, The Impulsive Buy will be giving away a $25 Walmart gift card.

Yup, I’m going to walk into a Walmart, flash a fake smile at the senior citizen-aged Walmart employee who greets me, walk defensively through the store to avoid unsupervised children and shoppers who should never be allowed to drive shopping carts, wait in a long 8 items or less express checkout line behind a couple of jackasses who each have a dozen items, purchase a $25 Walmart gift card, and flash another fake smile at the senior citizen-aged Walmart employee who thanks me for shopping at Walmart.

To enter The Impulsive Buy’s Walmart gift card drawing, leave a comment with THIS post. I don’t care what you say in your comment, but it would be nice if you shared your most memorable moment in a Walmart. Now when I say “memorable”, I mean crappiest. But, if you don’t have a crappy Walmart memory, your most awesome memory would suffice. Mine was getting hit by an impatient Walmart shopper driving a motorized shopping cart.

@theimpulsivebuy I wish Walmart would bring back the rollback prices smiley face because I want to make out with it.

Good luck!

Last month, I was a little mean to Kmart, suggesting Kmart stores dream about being Target stores. To be honest, I haven’t stepped into a Kmart in at least two years, so maybe they’ve improved and stores aren’t depressing anymore.

So to make it up to Kmart, The Impulsive Buy will be giving away a $25 Kmart gift card to one lucky reader, forcing him or her to go to Kmart. Although, I guess the winner could also sell the gift card on eBay or give it to a relative for Christmas.

To enter The Impulsive Buy’s Kmart gift card drawing, leave a comment with THIS post. I don’t care what you say in your comment, but it would be nice if you take a few moments to come up with something nice to say about Kmart, even if you don’t mean it. For example, shopping at Kmart brings a joy to my soul that I thought could only be achieved by riding a unicorn up a rainbow.
