How You Benefit – Even If You Don’t Play

I have written about winning things on Deal Dash, and using them as gifts for friends or for family. However you can also use them for work, as I did with one of my wins, a purple coffee maker by Bella Dots.

Since I have a Keurig coffee maker in my home, I did not need to have this coffee maker. I actually only bid on it, because a family member needed a new coffee maker. When I won this, I showed it to him, and offered it as a gift. He said, because it was not programmable he did not want it (I know it was actually because of the girly purple color).

Now I was stuck with a coffee maker that I really did not need or want. Since I only paid a few dollars for it, I was willing to put it away for a house-warming or wedding present. However, I came up with a great idea for the coffee maker.

Like many companies, my company uses generic coffee, which after my first morning cup of good Keurig coffee switching to that is like switching to tar. That’s when I remembered my perfectly good brand new coffee maker sitting in my closet. I “donated” my coffee maker to my work. Now there is a small group of coffee drinkers, who chip in for “good coffee” that we enjoy on the purple coffee maker I won from Deal Dash.

What are some of the ways you’ve used your DealDash winnings?
