Wow I've been away for sometime now. I've been hooked on these sites lately and then my computer got a virus from myspace. Looking at pictures on myspace. So this post may be long since I haven't posted in forever.
One of the cool new sites I have found is swagbucks. Many ways to get swagbucks. You can search the web using their website, sign up some friends of course, buy things through their partner websites or you can have a code. Its free to sign up and you earn your bucks fast. It only cost 45 swagbucks to get a $5 amazon.com gift card. There are many other prizes you can trade in for. When you sign up you get 3 free swagbucks to start off with. Follow the link and get started. You will be earning in no time.
http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=320166Another reason I was away so long. I wanted to play the grocery game. Which is where you check out sales and use manufactor coupons and sometimes store coupons to get things really cheap or sometimes free. In my case better deals then I have been getting and since I am starting to breathe a little bit better in the program I will start posting here what I got and how I got it. By the way the grocery game website does cost money to sign up and there are so many websites out there that will give you the information for free. My husband is right I get a high off of saving money lol. One of the websites I visit often is called Hot coupon world. A group of a bunch of awesome ladies telling you how to save money and sharing their deals with you.
http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/index.phpIt is alot to understand and it takes a while to catch on which is why I was away so long. Good luck and I hope you can find the deals.
CVSI have 2 cards for this store. My moms is just in case there is a really good deal and I want to pick up more then what they limit me. She gave it to me b/c she didn't understand how the deals worked and it does take some work to coupon but its so worth it. Anyway I had $4.99 Extra Care Bucks (ECB) on her card that was going to expire yesterday so I had to go and use it. The way you get (ECB) is by buying something for a price and you recieve ECB back to use on your next purchase. It all depends on what sale they are running at the time. I got a new printer so I needed black ink. Who would of thought the printer didn't come with black ink. Yes ink cartridges are cheaper at walmart but I try and stay away from walmart as much as I can.
This is what I got yesterday.
Black Ink Cartridge $17.99
Scrubbing bubbles action starter kit $2.99. I used a coupon for $2.75. So I paid .24 for this.
a small bag of laffy taffy .88
skittles sour small bag .89
a Sunday paper 2.00
I used the 2.75 coupon from
http://www.scrubbingbubbles.com/coupon/2008-07-SB/The $4.99 ECB
Paid $18.47
Not paid since I did get an ink cartridge and my girls were with me is the reason I got the candy.
WalgreensYour deals don't always work out like you plan them to and this is what happen to me when I went to walgreens yesterday. I couldn't find the candles I was looking for, one of the deals with the shaving gel didn't come out right and they charged me for candies b/c it wasn't the one in the picture. After pointing this out to the manager that it said any coke products he still refused and I will be emailing walgreens in a bit to let them know this. The money back program at walgreens is called register rewards (RR). Anyway this is what I got not to get but it will work. I did 2 transactions b/c I was suppose to get more RR then I did.

Once I didn't see my RR come out for the edge gel I returned it. I went back b/c I forgot to look for the candles and couldn't find them. I put the extra edge gel I had since I wasn't getting it for really cheap I didn't need it just yet.
