Coupons!!

Did you know that there are mega-couponers? These are the people who can go to the store and purchase hundreds of dollars worth of stuff for under half off. I don't really advocate that, but it's amazing. The reason I don't advocate it is that some of them stockpile these goods to the point that it could be considered hoarding (by me). Now, if you harness your couponing powers and then donate to the local food bank, church, or that needy family down the street, I am all for that.

So, where can you get your coupons? Short answer: alot of places. Do I recommend any? Of course: Swagbucks has coupons, Inbox Dollars has coupons, and most other sites like them. The added bonus here: they PAY you to use the coupons you print. That's right. Swagbucks pays 10 swagbucks and Inbox Dollars pays $0.10 per coupon used.

I also searched for a free coupon binder. I found this site. It has the information for how to set up the binder, which is free, and offers several options for buying form them. Of course, you don't have to buy from them. With patience, you can probably find all of these items at the local thrift store. I found a binder in almost new shape for $0.50. You may even be able to find them on sale at the local office store. If you do want it now, go ahead, and make that purchase.

Ok, so you have your binder set up and you're learning how you want to use it. So, how do you organize those coupons? Well, a coupon sorting mat of course!! You can of course find these commercially, or you can make one yourself. Here's how. She used a piece of blank newsprint, but I am sure other sources of paper would work. I am making one of these myself.

And a note for your own protection: Beware of fraudulent coupons.

Swag PROOF

I have PROOF that Swag Bucks works. The following screen shots.

The screen shot is of the gift cards in my Swag Bucks account.

This is a screen shot of what I purchased on Amazon with those gift cards.

SwagBucks, #2

Okay, so I have been doing this SwagBucks
thing for a few weeks now, and I must say that this is pretty amazing!

What have I already gotten: $15 in Amazon gift cards!!!! I have dedicated some time to it. As long as you can shop Amazon and find the great deals (Are you a student?) (Not a student?)  then this is great.

How can you make SwagBucks work for you?

1. Follow Swag rules.
2. Hunt for the swag codes, they come out approximately 1-3 times a day.
3. Do all the "daily" items, ie, visit "Trusted Surveys," use the Toolbar, vote in the poll, and do NOSO, this should add up to 5 swagbucks (sb) per day, or 1825 per year, which currently is enough for $20 from Amazon for NOTHING.
4. Watch the videos. 10 videos=3 sb, and you can earn up to 75 sb per day this way, or 27,375 sb per year for watching videos. Do you want a video trick?.....Use the toolbar, then you can go about your business, and change the video as needed.
5. Complete some surveys. If you qualify, they are really great for sb.
6. Play the free games. You will get 2 sb every 2 games, a maximum of 10 per day. This adds up to 3650 per year.
7. When your good at the games, enter a tournament. It's a gamble, but if you win, sometimes you can win big.
8. The sweepstakes are hard to win. Save them for sister site swagbucks.
9. Have fun.

That's the short and long of it. Follow my advice and you will rack up at least 32,850 or enough for a Nintendo DSi, or an iPod Touch. Neither of those are appealing to you? Trust me that only skims the surface.

There are giftcards and so many goodies that you are sure to find something you like.

Go ahead sign up!! It's definitely worth it!

It's been awhile since I posted. I apologize for this. I could give you a list of reasons, but ultimately this is all that matters: this is my blog, my responsibility. I should make every attempt to post.

That being said, I have been able to find some new ways to make money online. Some are quite intriguing.

So, let's start with the one that has me most engrossed at the moment: SwagBucks. This nifty little site let's you take surveys and other such things and earn "SwagBucks." You then trade them in for various items. For example, a $5 Amazon card is 450 SB. Not bad, considering this: there's a sign on bonus, a 250 SB bonus for completing 15 surveys a month, and you can win SBs by playing games. I signed up about 7 hours ago, and I already have 153 SB. I have also already completed 2 surveys. If you use SwagBucks for your searches, there are even more chances for SBs.

Before signing up, you should search for a "Swag Code" so that if there is a current sign up bonus, you can grab it. I got an 80 sb sign on bonus with a swag code.

You can also earn SBs by watching videos. These are educational type videos on topics from health to gardening to tech. Some are interesting, some are dribble, all add to your SBs.

Now, I must state that if you click on the link above, I do get a referral bonus. The good news is that you will also get a link that you can send to your friends or post on your blog and get the same bonus. I wish you luck, and hope that you get your SBs quickly.
