How to make the most of Swagbucks!

I'm sure you have heard of them and have no idea what they are. Or maybe you have signed up, but have yet to earn a single one. It really isn't that hard to start racking them up! I earn Swagbucks for things you do online every day! The first way I earn is by having the tool bar installed. Every day I use my home pc internet I earn 1 Swagbuck for having the tool bar. The next way I earn is the daily poll. Answer one simple question and get 1 Swagbuck. Another simple way is clicking into the trusted surveys. I never qualify for the surveys and don't really try to anymore, but I do go get my 1 Swagbuck just for visiting the page. So whooptydo on those right? No! Just by doing those three nearly effortless things, you earn 1095 Swagbucks over a one year period.

Now I earn MOST of my Swagbuck through SEARCH. I never utilize my favorites tab, and I never type in a URL to whatever you call that bar where you type a website. If I want to go to facebook, I type "facebook" into the Swagbucks search engine. I want to check my mail I type "hotmail" into the search engine. I earn about 40-50 Swagbucks a day doing this. Fridays are supposed to be MegaSwagbucks day where you can earn alot more...the most I have scored in one search on a Friday is 27.....my standard prize on any given search any day of the week is 11.

You can also earn by printing and using coupons from swagbucks.com. For every coupon redeemed you get 10 Swagbucks.....if you use coupons like I do then you know those can add up big time!!! You can also earn bucks by watching videos on the SwagbucksTV.... I just play them and let them run in the background as I do other stuff online. This isn't my favorite way to earn, but it works.

If you qualify for surveys you can earn anywhere from 50-200ish bucks... you can trade in your old cell phones, text books, video games ect for points....

If you love to shop online then you are really missing out!!! Swagbucks offers thisdeal called Shop and Earn. They have a zillion stores, including Walmart, Target, Overstock.com, Fabric.com, Best Buy.... go through Swagbucks and you get 2 Swagbucks for every $1 you spend.

Ahh and the elusive SwagCode!!! These come out 1 to several times a week day. They can be posted on facebook or hidden on the Swagbucks website. I guess they have a blog as well where it may be mentioned. SwagCodes are case sensitive, sometimes user unique, and usually range from 3-10 bucks. There was a 50 pointer announced on facebook but I didn't hear about it until after it expired. There is a website that you can sign up to have text you whenever a code is out, but that is cheating and if Swagbucks were to find out that you are using it or promoting it, your account would be deleted.

And the final method I would like to touch on is the Daily Deals. If you love to buy Groupons, LivingSocial, ect...you can earn 450+ Swagbucks just for clicking into the Groupon or whoever website through Swagbucks.

There are lots of things you can cash your Swagbucks in for, but I am an Amazon.com junky.... I have cashed in on nine $5 gift cards to support my cloth diaper habit. So what are you waiting for?? Follow this link and start WINNING today!!!

Frustrating trip to Walgreen's

My main purpose of going to Walgreen's today was to get free Bic Triumph pens ($5.39 each) and free Reach Toothbrushes ($.499 each). I went to the pens first and got the 4 they had left, though I had enough coupons for 5. As I was leaving that aisle another couponer came in behind me with her binder in hand... I'm sure she was looking for the pens and she gave me a little glare LOL. Next was the toothbrushes. Turns out those were not going to be free, but more like $1.00 each. I still picked up 6 of those. Then I had a coupon for a free mega box of huggies ($18), but they didn't have them in stock. So after I gathered everything I wanted and got to the check out stand... the only clerk was some little old woman who had reached the last 15 minutes of her shift (she told me) and I don't think she was very happy to see my stack of coupons. My coupons for 25cent boxes of band aids were not working so I just had her remove them from my bag. Next a coupon for Infants Trimenic did not work. She said it was for another store, however it was a peel off from inside Walgreen's. Whatever I had her take that out of my bag too. One of my coupons for dental floss and one for Listerine also did not work. So in the end, after standing at the check out for about 15 minutes, my total out of pocket was $54.35. Total savings from coupons was $57.50. I didn't do as well as I had hoped. If those damn coupons would have worked, and had huggies been in stock, it would have been much more satisfying. So what I got was 2 12packs of Scott toilet paper, 3 boxes of Kleenex, 4 bottles of dish soap, 2 packs of dental floss, 6 reach toothbrushes, 1 bottle of Listerine, 3 packs of Duracel batteries, 1 box of Visine, and 3 2packs of Bic Triumph Roller pens. I will probably hit up another Walgreen's for more pens.

I got my coupon binder set up!!

I went and got a nice binder, 130 pocket pages, dividers ect... I spent the evening cutting coupons from 5 sunday papers and got them all organized. I didn't realize how much work it would be and now I'm planning a trip to Walgreen's for tomorrow. Free stuff is in order!!! I did get excited over milk coupons only to realize after I clipped them that they were for lactose free milk :(

Happy New Year!!!!

My New Year's Resolution for 2011 is to save money by clipping coupons. My inspiration comes from watching TLC's Extreme Couponing and I hope I can get as good as the people profiled on the show. My first real venture out I got 8 boxes of cereal, 10 boxes of fruit snacks, 2 boxes granola bars, 4 boxes of pizza rolls, 5 boxes of frozen pizzas and 2 boxes of Toaster Strudels. Total before savings $85.86, total paid $34.84, plus I got a coupon for $3.00 off my next order! I just got 5 copies of the Sunday paper, so off to clip I go!!!
