Are You Searching With Swagbucks???

 

I will tell you that it took me a LONG time to feel comfortable enough to even click on the link that would tell me what Swagbucks were!  These days everything makes me so skepticla about the internet!  But I will tell you that I am now so BUMMED that I did not look into this earlier!  I now see how many people are a part of this and how many Swagbucks they have gathered and I am a little envious! 🙂

Swagbucks is JUST a search engine!  That is IT!  It is a toolbar that you download and any time you need to search for ANYTHING, you have a chance to win Swagbucks!  When you earn Swagbucks, you redeem them for prizes!  Here are some examples of what you can win!!!

$5.00 Amazon Gift Card = 450 Swagbucks
$15 iTunes Gift Card = 1850 Swagbucks
iPod Touch = 22,999 Swagbucks

I am telling you that most people I know who have been using this for a while do ALL of their Christmas Shopping with Swagbucks!  On Fridays they have MEGA Swagbucks day that gives you the chance to earn TONS with just one click!  Click on the picture above to learn a little bit more or comment with any questions!

Coupon Policies… Your New Best Friends!

So.. regardless of how long you have been a Coupon Fanatic, you still have those moments where you tense up at the register at the thought that your cashier will reject your beloved coupon!!!  The best thing for a Coupon Fanatic to do is BE PREPARED!!!  Here is the latest in the world of Coupon Policies!  Take a few moments, print each one out and learn them, live them, love them, AND keep them handy!!!

Announcing… Walgreens has an OFFICIAL policy!!!
*Here is their Official Corporate Coupon Policy

Some of the highlights:

• The coupon value MUST be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item! (this means that when you have a coupon for $5.00 off of an item that is $4.99, they will reduce the coupon to match the price of the item!)  I wish that ALL stores would adopt this!
• They will accept Internet Printable Coupons
• When purchasing a BOGO item, 2 coupons can be used!
• You may use a Manufacturer Coupon and an IVC Coupon on one item!

VISIT the Stores 101 Tab at the top to see the rest of the up to date policies!!!  This is your armor against the Coupon Nazis out there! 🙂

I’ve included some pictures of a ‘gift’ my 9 year old daughter left on my pillow. She made me a Coupon Mom Barbie! She found the outfit she felt looked most like a mom. The Barbie comes complete with a strip of assorted coupons with perforated edges. I don’t know if you can see it clearly in the picture, but one of the coupons is for anything in the store being FREE! The other little strip says ‘Thank you for shopping at the Ready Mart. Now you can get anything you want for FREE. I love it! Thanks to you guys, my whole family has begun to appreciate couponing! We all look at things differently now. They are shocked when I don’t have a coupon for something. 😉

 

 

 

The Weekend Recap…

Sunday Paper Inserts:
I have such mixed emotions when I come across the inserts in the Sunday Paper.  It feels like Christmas as I open the ads and find my prize! The more the merrier in my book, but when I am a little behind, less is better!  This week, we only had one insert:  Smart Source.

The Sunday Ads:
With school back in session this week, I wasn’t surprised to see a slow down on the deals this week.  I think that stores are going to attempt to pick up the pieces after the Back to School rush!

Rite Aid:

I wasn’t instantly impressed with Rite Aid this week, but then I came across some fun scenarios on The Krazy Coupon Lady!  She has some great ideas for diapers!

Target:

→  $2.00/1  (PG 8/1)
