I’m a bit late with this weeks TYLT post, but there are some good prizes down there, including trips to Vegas, Orlando, and Aruba!

Kikkoman gets top dibs this week because it was through their Chinese New Year Celebration that I finally won my first prize – a free silicon basting brush! You can get a free pin code via e-mail on their site. Ends 04/30.

If you sign up for CiCis Pizza’s new e-Club, then you’ll be entered to win one of four roundtrip flights anywhere in the U.S. Expires 02/28.

During the Super Bowl, Dockers will run an ad for “men without pants” and if you’re among the first to register afterward, you could win a free pair of men’s Soft Khakis. Expires 02/15. [via Chris]

Create a wish list on CNET and be entered to win a Samsung LED TV or Blu-ray Disc player. Expires 02/07.

Finally, the Ellen Degeneres Show is giving away over $20,000 in prizes, including a 42″ Vizio HDTV, a Playstation 3, and a spa getaway. You can enter each day, but you have to watch the show to find out the trivia answer. Expires 03/05.

Do you happen to know of any ongoing contests? Then please, add them to the list below. And if you win a prize, let us know in the comments!

It said on Kikkoman that I won a stainless steel tongs.

Still haven’t meet anyone that won anything big. Anyone here won a trip or something?

Hey, #13 for “One Year Supply of Pet Food or John Deer Tractor (11/30)” seems to be a broken link? I got “Oops! This link appears to be broken.” as response.

Marlboro is good for freebies ( I got a few bottle openers, a water bottle, shirt, some coffee,etc). I also won a trip to the Marlboro Crazy Mountain Ranch (plus a ton of other stuff that goes along with the trip) that I will be going on in about a month. I am not even a smoker.

I have been playing this almost since it started and have won $25. $5 at a time. You have better odds if you play later at night. You get 10 chances a day. They send you $5 checks you just cash at your bank. I also won a free bag a of salad mix from the Dole contest. Nothing to write home about, but hey it’s free! Ahhh I couldn’t resist.

Ok, so I just commented about two sweeps that it didn’t link up to yet….so now I look like a weirdo. The $ comment was aimed at a different Cheerios giveaway than #21. Hmm. Oh well. Guess I totally jumped the gun on those.

#7 KFM | February 5th, 2010 at 07:53 am

I didn’t win anything from Kikkoman.

Good thing you did, Chelle, because I didn’t know you could win more than once, and I already won $5!

The $1,500. Technology makeover gave me this:

Not Found, Error 404

The page you are looking for no longer exists. Perhaps you can find what you are looking for by searching the site archives by page, month, or category:

Just an FYI – went to the Free Uggs link, and you have to live in the UK to enter.

#10 Goob | February 5th, 2010 at 11:35 am

I fixed the two broken links.

Chris, somebody wrote in and said they won a prize package worth around $1000 thanks to the very first TLYT post I put up. That’s been the biggest win so far, I believe.

Jenn, I deleted that Uggs link. Some stupid spammer put it up.

#11 Chelle | February 5th, 2010 at 02:07 pm

Ok, good one of my links is posted (DOLE). I’m not sure why the other one won’t. Is it maybe because it doesn’t start out www? It’s not a link to anyone’s blog either. It’s the General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios contest page.

#12 Weezie | February 5th, 2010 at 03:18 pm

I won a spoon rest from the Kikkoman site. I’ve received tons and tons of general sample freebies, too. I get as many as 5 things in a week sometimes.

For both tobacco freebies posted recently, they didn’t allow me to join their site. I’m not a smoker and I thought that was why. Surprised to find out that others have been allowed to join and have even won prizes. Maybe they’ve changed their minds about that recently.

Chelle – Where are you winning this $5 in cash?

#13 Weezie | February 5th, 2010 at 03:21 pm

Oh, I also got the free product coupons from Golden Double Stuff Oreos and Stacy’s Pita Chips that were on Facebook.

#14 Laurie | February 5th, 2010 at 06:36 pm

I just posted the link for the Rainbow Dream Castle contest. I actually already won a third prize package (but from a magazine article not here). But the contest goes til the end of the year. Good luck!

#15 April | February 7th, 2010 at 06:24 pm

I don’t understand the Docker’s contest. I thought you had to enter when the commercial came on, but I just went there and it let me enter. It said it will let me know if I won on Feb. 8. Hmm..???

#16 Marcia | February 8th, 2010 at 05:56 pm

I won a pair of Dockers for my husband! I had my form filled out and ready to go so as soon as the commercial ended I submitted it. I found out about half an hour ago via e-mail that I had won. Already ordered them. Thanks HIF! Then I went and played the cheerio game and won my 4th time for $5. Not my normal luck with contests but fun on these rare occasions.
