Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you humbled, grateful and thoroughly excited.

This month marks 10 years since I agreed to be called The Cheapskate in public -- and I've never regretted that decision for one second. Quite the opposite: It's been my single favorite job ever (to say nothing of the longest).

To celebrate this milestone, I wanted to give back -- in a big way. Together with CNET superheroes Jon Chaikin and Tania Gonzalez (who you can also thank for many of the other great giveaways I've done here), I've put together a roundup of 25 cool prizes for this, the Cheapskate 10th-Anniversary Mega Giveaway. 😍

A note of thanks

Ask anybody who writes for a living: Blogging rule #1 is you never read the comments, because "people on the Internet are awful." Maybe elsewhere, but not here; Cheapskate readers tend to be helpful, insightful and just plain kind. I'm so grateful for all the nice feedback I've received over the years; it means a lot. I've actually had bad days rescued because someone took the time to send a note of thanks.

So thank you, dear readers, for being so awesome. Thanks for sticking around all these years, and thanks in advance for joining me for the next 10 years of great deals. If you w ant 'em, I'll keep 'em coming. 

I'm also incredibly grateful to CNET for keeping me around all these years. Thank you, editors, for fixing my seemingly endless mistakes, and thank you, boss people, for giving me the free reign to craft this blog in my own particular idiom. (And for the money. 😜) Let's keep this beautiful music going for another 10 years, whattaya say?
