Don't forget to be Swaggin' !!

I wanted to let you know about the Swagbucks banner that you see at the top of my blog. I am somewhat new to Swagbucks myself, but after installing the toolbar (super simple) I just use Swagbucks to search the web instead of "Googling." It's just as easy, and I am actually getting PAID to search! Yep. That's right. You can get paid lots of different ways, but I am most interested in gift cards to Amazon. I didn't shop Amazon much before this past Christmas but I found crazy good deals online with free shipping that beat any price I could have gotten locally. I'm trying to buy my Christmas presents with Swagbucks in 2010. If you want, click on the banner above or here to sign up and I will earn extra bucks as a referral. Thanks!

By the way, I am up to $120.00 worth of gift cards so far! Ahh, and I didn't have to do anything but search a couple of times a day. Try it, & see if Swagbucks can fund your Christmas in 2010!

Coupon Seminar this weekend in Alabaster

I know this is short notice...I actually thought I posted this a while back, sorry! I have a Coupon Seminar on Sunday afternoon at Thompson Middle School (1509 Kent Dairy Rd, Alabaster) at 3 pm.

I will show you step by step how to organize your coupons, shop on a budget, stockpile and cut your grocery bill dramatically in just a couple of hours a week. I will show you how to shop Target, Publix and the 3 major drugstores. If you want to cut your budget and majorly boost your savings account you won't want to miss it! We are requesting a $5 donation per person to be used for missions.

Please comment here on the blog if you are planning to attend so I will have an approximate head count. Hope to see you there!

$100.00 worth of men's clothing for under $40.00!

Sears is offering a fabulous deal for men's clothing right now. The offer reads "Buy $50.00 in men's apparel get $50.00 in Sears come back cash." The deal runs today through June 20th & is available in stores and online.

My game plan: Beginning Sunday at CVS you can get $10.00 ecb's wyb a $50.00 Sears gift card. Go to Shop At Home & earn 5% cash back on all purchases from Sears + $5.00 if you are a new customer. Wow! I love Shop at Home. Then after your purchase arrives (if you want to be really thrifty I believe you can have it delivered to the store for pick-up for free) you have until July 20th to fill out the rebate form & mail in & receive your $50.00 come back cash.

*Come back cash must be spent on men's apparel & excludes all Lands End merchandise. Limit 1 per household. Purchase must total $50.00 or more after all discounts.

I'm thinking Fathers Day & birthday gifts...

Publix shopping trip

I ran out to pick up a few things to have on hand for friends that will be over today plus a few snacks for the weekend. We've entertained 16 kids this week plus our own four...I'm always looking for a deal on snacks. We love summertime and the free time to spend with friends. Having friends over is our absolute favorite thing to do!

It was a good day. :)

Target, today was totally worth it!!

I got a few things this afternoon, we didn't have church this evening & it was too stormy to do anything but shop. :) Here's the rundown:

9 bottles of Olay Regenerist Cleanser 5.99 ea
9 2/1 q's Olay facial cleanser PG 5/02, exp 5/31
***$5.00 gc for every 2 qualifying Olay products purchased***

10 bottles SoBe Lifewater 1.00 ea 4 B1G1 printable, & 4 .50/1 printable (Target q)

I used 2 B1G1 RP 4/18 + 2 FREE Old Spice Body Wash wyb deodorant PG 5/02

3 packs of J&J gauze bandages 1.64 ea 3 $1/1 from ?? newspaper
***free First Aid Kit wyb 3 eligible products***


I had a "gift card" that came in the mail for $5.00 gc the next time that I spent $50.00.

I split the transaction into 2 smaller purchases to have less oop.

Bottom line after my gc from the above purchases + a $20.00 MIR for $50.00 worth of Olay products, the deal turned into a $4.00 moneymaker. Anyone need facewash?? Be looking for it to show up in your stocking! :)
