Picture 6/3: Treasure Hunt

June 3

(picture 154 of 365)

Is anyone else doing the County Market Treasure Hunt game right now?

It's much like the Monopoly game that McD's does every 18 months.

Except much more involved:

You get a puzzle piece every time you spend 10 bucks.

And you get a puzzle piece each time you buy a certain item, as identified by little "buttons" stuck to shelves around the store.

(example:  yesterday I bought 8 gallons of distilled water, which was one of the "button" items;  each gallon earned me a puzzle piece)

Each puzzle piece opens up to contain a coupon and 4 stickers.  The stickers attach to the Treasure Hunt board, where you win a prize if you complete a set (just like McD's Monopoly).

The coupon can be 1 of 3 things:

- an instant win of cash or more puzzle pieces

- a code to enter on the County Market website for a chance to win cash or more puzzle pieces

- 50 cents off some item in the store

We are having a blast doing this thing, especially our middle daughter.  She just knows that we're gonna collect all the stickers necessary to win an XBox, a computer, or a kitchen makeover.

Me?  I'm just happy to have won $2 cash and a TV dinner.

So far.   :)

Out for now.....
