How to Earn Amazon Gift Cards on Swag bucks

About Swag Bucks

What is it?

Swagbucks is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn Swag Bucks, digital dollars which can be redeemed for exclusive swagbucks.com prizes.

How does it work?

It’s easy as 1-2-3!

  1. Search the web as you normally would using SwagBucks search engine. You’ll get results from Google.com and Ask.com.
  2. Swag Bucks will be periodically awarded to you as you search. You can win up to 50 Swag Bucks with a single search and on Fridays you can win up to 1000 Swag Bucks with a single search. You can also find and redeem Swag Codes (many of which I will tell you where to find them here on my blog) which will add to your Swag Bucks total.
  3. Redeem your Swag Bucks for prizes ranging from gift certificates for Amazon, Target and iTunes to televisions, video games, iPods, movie, music and sports collectibles, comics and books, and much much more!

Does it really work?

You bet!

I am normally highly skeptical of this type of internet thing because they are so often full of junk mail, don’t pay out, ask you for way too much personal info, or just take too much time, but Swagbucks is really working for me.

I have been using it for about two months and have not received one piece of junk mail and have earned enough SwagBucks to get $50 in Amazon gift certificates (which I redeem for Target GC's-you use less Swagbucks this way). Above all this it couldn’t be more easy and is actually addictively fun! At this rate I’ll have almost $400 in Amazon gift certificates at the end of the year, all for searching the internet as I normally do each day.

Okay… How do I get started?

  • Sign up here and you’ll start with 30 Swag Bucks.
  • Start searching and winning Swag Bucks.
  • Check out our tips for maximising your Swag Buck wins.
  • Come back for news and clues to the latest Swag Codes.
  • Have fun!

How to Save on Super Lean Meat





Okay so we all have this problem. It is nearly impossible to coupon on Meat, Produce, and Bread. I have found a great way to save on meat but you need to go with me on this and read this whole post before you judge.

Recently my husband decided he wanted to cut meat out of our diet for awhile for health reasons. He wants to continue losing weight and lower his A1C level for his diabetes which has already fallen down to pre-diabetic levels. So he has been reading studies on how cutting animal products down can help diabetics be healthier.

We are not giving up our cheese but we are giving up our milk for soy milk and our meat for Morningstar and Boca products. I was a little freaked at first because I thought that would make our budget go up but it DOES NOT! For the same amount I spent on regular meat I can get more Boca and Morning Star products! And I think they taste awesome!

We had tacos last with Morningstar meatless crumbles. Oh my goodness! They were the best tacos i've ever had! The crumbles absorb ALL the flavor.

Publix has all Boca 4/$10
Use the $1/2 HERE

Get them for $2 a box

The crumbles are the equivilant of 1 pound of ground beef...$2 for a POUND OF MEAT!

The boxes of burgers come with 4!


Morningstar is full price right now but you can grab some coupons HERE for when they are on sale! These are for $1/1!!!

No Space for Stockpiling

Here is the age old problem in my house...no space! I love in a 1200 sft home. I have a 600 sft basement but I can't put anything but can goods and frozen stuff in my freezer down there at risk of any bug problems so i'm trying to make room. I'm going to put up for sale on Craiglist sometime today all my little appliances I don't use anymore like my pancake maker, ice cream maker etc. I need cash for groceries the next two weeks as this is the tightest part of the month for us and our Daughter's birthday is around the corner. Anyway...I need to get rid of some stuff and get some space together for all my goodies. We have a large-yet small pantry area in addition to our kitchen area. However 80% of the pantry area has our fine China, regular dishes etc. Other 20% has Nutrisystem food in it that my husband is finishing off slowly. We use more of the Weight Watcher frozen meals now, they taste better and are way cheaper! Anyway, this weekend my goal is to clean one entire cabinet of stuff we don't need. List it for sale on Craigslist and hopefully sell it!

Free Diabetes Supplys

Publix offering FREE Diabetes medicine

As part of a new initiative to help its customers stay healthy Publix is giving away FREE supplies of metformin, the generic verison of Glucophage, a common diabetes medicine. On average, a Publix pharmacy customer with no insurance would pay $21 monthly for Metformin. So this means a savings of over $250 a year! This isn't a one time deal, you can get a FREE 30 day supply of either 500, 800 or 1,000mg doses and there is no limit to how many refills you can get!

This is in addition to the program that Publix has offered for the past few years where it provides FREE 14day supply of 8 common antibiotics. I've taken advantage of the FREE antibiotics on many occasions and will now be telling everyone I know with diabetes about this great opportunity! You can go HERE to get information on the program.

A Friends of Gevalia Offer Awaits You

Possible Overage at Target

Okay, I found this Gillette clinical sport deodorant today in an endcap and I asked the manager if this was considered trial because it was .5 oz she said " no" because it was not in their trial section and it was retailed for $1.79. SO I used the $3.00/1 gillette clinical sport deodorant coupon in the 2/21 PG; and then I paired it with the Buy any Gillette deodorant get Gillette Body Wash for Free coupon in 3/7 PG.
So since I was able to get overage on the deodorant I added other items to cover the difference.

Why do I grab so many freebies and cheap deals

Why?...because I can't afford not to. Some of you may be living off a solid income, but i'm not. We are a 1 income family and we cannot afford to pass up on the freebies and cheap deals after rewards at CVS, Wags, and Publix. I grab up all the free tooth paste, toothbrushes, deoterant, body wash, razor,lotion etc...because if not we would be using dollar store brand because we cannot afford the good stuff. My hubby uses 1 shampoo a month and 1 body wash a month, that is at least $10 a month or $120 a year on premium brand stuff. We have a 11month old that goes through 10 diapers per day so when Wags or CVS does a diaper deal with reward dollars we grab up our Q's and run over because in the long run, it is cheaper to do this than buying the big boxes from Sam's or Costco. We spend maybe $15 on 3 weeks worth od diapers vs $40 for a month. We did not renew our warehouse membership this year, did not seem worth it. I borrow friend's cards to go grab a few things I can;t get elsewhere.

Anyway, just felt like expressing why I coupon so hard. I just have to. But it saves me more than money, it saves me time. I no longer have to spend half a Saturday going to Costco, Walmart, Aldi and all the grocery stores in town to get as many deals as I can. i run up to Wags and CVS which are right next to each other and hope over to Publix...all 3-5 minutes from my home. I often run up to Wags, CVS and Publix after I put my daughter to bed, gives my hubby an hour of video game time and gives me a chance to get my shopping fix. I don't miss precious time with my girl and most of the time I only go to one store so I am probably only gone 30 minutes each trip, over the week i'm gone half the time I would normally spend out on a Saturday.

This is going to be a great week at CVS

I am normally pro-Wags but this week seems to be a dead week at Wags...at least for me personally. I did hit CVS today and will hit them a few more time this week to grab up my deals.
Here is what I did:

Oral B Cross Action Toothbrush — $4
ECB: $4 wyb 1 (limit 2)
USED: $.75/1 from 2/7 or 2/21 P&G
TOTAL:$1.50 money maker

Nivea Lip Care — $2.99
ECB: $2.99 wyb 1 (limit 1)
Total: 1 for FREE after ECB!

Gillette Deodorant — $3.99
ECB: $1 wyb 1 (limit 2)
Used: $1/2 from 2/21 SS and buy a Gillette deodorant and get a free body wash from 2/21 P&G
Deal: Bought 1 Deoterant and 1 Gillette Body washes.
Total: $1 ea - Pay $2.99 and get $1 ECB. (not my best deal, I should have waited until another day because CVS only had 1 Gillette BW left so I only got to do 1 deal and it made it $1ea item but I got an overage on the tooth brushes so I won't cry over it. I will go back later in the week with my husband's card and grab up the deal for 2!

Now i'm trying to get all the finances in order this week and set my grocery list and coupons up so I can do some MAD COUPONING this weekend and I finally had to stop. My husband's laptop is the only computer we can print from right now so unfortunately i only get coupons from one computer even though we have 3! I'm trying to finx my laptop so I can finally grab some extra Q's but until then, I can only print 2...there is an awesome Huggies deal at Wags this week and I would love to print more Huggies Q's to take advantage...oh well. Looking forward to my couponing this weekend though, hoping to only spend about $100 and grab up lots of savings. There are a few overage opportunities coming up which I will post about tomorrow once I verify their legit. Now I am just ranting. Let me post some deals...

How much did you save in February...

Well I did great as far as grocery savings but BAD in eating out. I'm taking the "No Eating Out in March Challenge" at Couponing to Disney...

I spent $249 and change on Groceries in February. I pulled my bank statement on my break so I don't know the total savings, i'm going to assume it is close to $800. I will post the saving tonight as I would LOVE to know myself.

I am a bit down...between paying for my tax service, paying to get out of my storage unit and the truck to haul everything to my house, and a big family event that took me out of town for 3 days I went over budget for this month on gas, eating out and misc expenditures.

I spent a total of $251.89 on eating out! AH!!!!!!!!!! Misc expenditures and gas total close to $300!! AH!!!!!

I am commiting to not eating out in March, I doubt i'll make it but my goal is for my family to eat out only as necessity to make up for the loss in February in those areas. Luckily I saved enough in groceries and HBA that i'm not in debt!
