When Intuit offered up three copies each of Quicken Premier 2009 and TurboTax, I jumped at the chance to give away more free stuff to you all. We’re deep into tax season and with the economy where it is, I’m sure everyone is looking for a little edge. Intuit’s been very generous with Bargaineering readers, already I’ve given away two copies of Quicken Premier 2009, one to a forum participant and another to a commenter in the Your Take question on money management software.
The Quicken Premier 2009 and TurboTax Packs contain a CD containing Quicken Premier 2009 and a pre-paid access card to TurboTax Deluxe (both federal and state!) edition. Quicken Premier has a retail value of $80 and TurboTax Deluxe, federal and state, is worth at least $65 – so these packs are worth almost a hundred and fifty dollars!
So, how do you win? It’s easy.
I have three “packs” and so we’ll be doing a three way giveaway:
- First way: Leave a comment here, bonus points if you tell a joke worth of a laffy taffy wrapper. Only one entry per person.
- Second way: Subscribe to the RSS feed (here’s an explanation of what RSS is) and email me the special secret phrase at the bottom of each of the posts. The email address is contest at bargaineering dot com.
- Third way: Leave a comment on this forum post explaining how you plan on celebrating the end of tax season!
If you have already done your taxes and just want a copy of Quicken, please say so. That way, should you win, I can give the free copy of TurboTax to another reader. Thanks!
I will close the contest at noon eastern on March 10th and randomly select one winner from each of the groups – commenters, emailers, and forum participants.
The contest will end in a week at noon Eastern on March 10th, good luck! Void where prohibited.
Thanks to all who entered, the contest has ended and the winners have been notified.

My joke will be a quote from 30 Rock, which I KNOW you watch!
Tracy Morgan’s character on Larry King Live, about the financial crisis (or “30 Rock” equivalent):
Tracy: I’d like to play devil’s avocado, here Larry, I think people should freak-the-geek out! With drawl all our money, and hide it!
Not only is it funny, but it has a personal finance angle to it. DOUBLE LAFFY TAFFY WRAPPER!
A joke? Q: How did Hilter tie his shoes?
A: With little nazis!
I know it’s not very funny, but it always makes me smile a little.
A bear walks into a bar and says to the bartender “I’d like a jack and…….. coke.” The bartender asks, “why the big pause”. The bear looks down and says “I dunno, I’ve always had them”
I have no jokes, only needs. And I needs me some software.
No jokes here-I can’t tell them to save my life! Hope you get some good laughs.
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon. He sidles up to the bar and announces: “I’m looking for the man who shot my paw.”
An English geek joke:
Knock knock.
-Who’s there?
To
-To who?
No–To whom.
har har
sadly, happily, my jokes aren’t funny. i do like arrested development.
I can’t remember any jokes at this time-sorry. Please include me in the drawing- only need Quicken as taxes are already completed.
Count me in! Sorry, I don’t have any clever jokes!
I’m in!
What are the strongest days of the week? — Saturday and Sunday, the other days are weekdays
Hi Jim,
Thanks for running the post! Hope you had a nice trip. Obviously not trying to win, but just wanted to say hope the contest goes off without a hitch.

I thought a financial joke would be appropriate.
Where does a penguin keep his money?
Answer: In a snow bank
Q: What do old ladies taste like?
A: Depends.
I’ll take my free copy of Quicken now, thank you very much.
Oh April 15th!!! I will be working for the man to celebrate the end of tax seasson. P.S. I’ve completed my tax return.
Have done the taxes already (e-filed this past Sunday) Putting the refund towards replenishing the emergency fund.
yes please
When tax season ends, I’ll be going to a sandy beach in Mexico!!
Joke…
How many economists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. If the light bulb really needed changing, market forces would have already caused it to happen.
I have happily finished my taxes and they have been submitted. But Quicken to my home rapidly, please.
I received my refund two weeks ago and have tucked it away in a 9 month CD earning 3.09% I am in desperate need of a Quicken upgrade, so put an entry in for me.
Here’s my daughter’s favorite bad joke:
Q. What did the finger say to the thumb?
A. I’m in glove with you
Oh, God, I can’t remember any jokes! But I would really love a Quicken upgrade, so count me in, please.
Count me in, to win!! I plan to deposit the refund in one of the high yield savings accounts!!
I’m in.
Why should you always borrow money from a pessimist?
They won’t expect it back.
Taxes done.
Yo mama is so poor your family ate cereal with a fork to save milk.
And no celebration this tax season for us, schedule D is leaving a bruise.
Also do you post the names of the winners?
Yep, I usually post the names of winners in the contest post. When the contest ends, I’ll announce their names in this post.
my taxes are likely going to be the joke
