Swagbucks Birthday Extravaganza

Good Afternoon, Friends & Faithful Followers:

Today is a big birthday!  

It's the big day on Swagbucks! Four lucky winners will win $1,000 each!

 There is an all-day Swag Code extravaganza where 130 Swag Bucks in codes

 will be given out TODAY!

Plus if you’ve already RSVP'ed to the Swagbucks party (click here  ), you’ve noticed 

the giant pink and green puzzle. Behind that puzzle is the picture of their party. 

 Swagbucks will reveal the pieces of their puzzle as their party hits a series

 of earning goals, one for each category. If they reveal the whole picture before 

midnight, ALL PARTY BONUSES ARE DOUBLED!

If you haven’t joined Swagbucks, now is THE BEST time to sign up. All new 

users will receive 140 Swagbucks when they sign up through this link
 ( click here )and use code BIRTHDAYBASH12 (type it in ALL CAPS into 
the code box) during the sign up process. I think this may be the most 
Swagbucks I’ve ever seen for new members!  It's the best deal I've seen since
I signed up!

Check it out.

Enjoy!

Couponing - Is It Worth It?

Good morning, Friends and Faithful Followers!

As I sat here exhausted last evening and looked at the stack of uncut coupon inserts beside me and the printed sheets of Internet coupons I had acquired over the past week, I asked myself:  "Am I really saving enough to go to all this trouble?", "Is it worth it to gather so many coupons for things my family and I use?", and "Do the cashiers hate to see me coming into their lane?" :-)

After reviewing most of my grocery and drugstore receipts, my doubts quickly disappeared.  I usually save 50% at the grocery store and about the same at the drugstore.  I can almost always find online codes to use when purchasing items on the Internet (like RetailMeNot and Coupon Cabin).  I also always go through an online savings portal before heading to the online stores to save even more (such as eBates and ShopAtHome).  I have even gotten discounts at the dentist, the doctor, and and other lesser known places to check for savings!  My sons tease me endlessly about being a "deal scout".

This morning I discovered an article that said it all (as if I hadn't confirmed it for myself).

Read the article above for yourself.  She has some great ideas and confirms couponing as a worthwhile activity.

Enjoy!
