How To Get FREE GIFT CARDS with Swagbucks!

Have you guys been using Swagbucks yet? If not, I'm excited to be the first to tell you about a website that I use to get FREE GIFT CARDS! 

_________________________________

What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a website that rewards you to use their website. They have a search engine just like Google. Except when you use theirs, you get points. And those points can be redeemed for a variety of prizes, including my favorite- gift cards! 


What Gift Cards Can I Get?

They have gift cards to Amazon, iTunes, the Apple Store, Lowe's, Travelocity, Restaurant.com, PayPal Cash, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Overstock.com, Macy's, Southwest Airlines, XBox Live, REI, Bass Pro Shops, QVC, and many more. And they are continuing to add to their list.

I like getting Amazon gift cards, since you can buy anything there. I have found great diaper deals on Amazon, so my Swagbucks have actually been helping pay for diapers!


What Other Prizes Can I Get?


They have other awesome prizes like electronics, appliances, ipods, Keurig Coffemakers, TV's, cameras, Nintendo Wii, Playstation, Books, Magazines, jewelery, DVD's, MP3 downloads, school supplies and so much more.


How do I earn Swagbucks?

When you register, you will automatically get 30 Swagbucks to start.  Then you can earn more swagbucks by using it was your search engine, watching videos, playing games, surveys, daily polls,  and more. Another cool way to get big points is by referring other people. You will get points each time the people that you refer get points from their searches. So if you sign up, please do it fro my link so I get credit for referring you :)

You can choose to download the Swagbucks toolbar to make your searching quick and easy.

By the way, Fridays are Mega Swagbucks Days- meaning your chances of getting higher points are much higher those days!

Butt Paste

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

I'll admit, the main reason I bought this stuff was because I thought it had a funny name (and it was highly recommended by another momma). But Boudreaux's Butt Paste worked really well to get rid of my little guy's diaper rash. Brady had a diaper rash that lasted almost 4 weeks and I tried a bunch of different brands of diaper rash relief. A friend told me about it and said it was the only thing that worked for her son. Luckily, when I finally tried Boudreaux's Butt Paste it cleared it up in only a couple days. Brady was so much happier. I could tell tell that it really relieved his pain.

My pediatrician recommended it to me also. She even gave me a sample that she had in her office.  You can get a free sample on their website too. I really liked the smell too, especially in comparison to some of the other brands that smell like harsh chemicals.

They have small size ones that are good for the diaper bag, and big huge jars for your changing table. And I really like that they have a All Natural version also. 

I highly suggest at least trying their free sample. You can get it on the Boudreaux's Butt Paste website. I promise, your baby's bum will be happy you tried it.

Fresh & Easy Coupon: $6 Off $30 Purchase


Click here for a coupon from Fresh & Easy: $6 Off $30 Purchase 

Sierra's Sweet Savings: $109.80 Worth of Groceries for $16.66!

Sierra's Sweet Savings on Superbowl Sunday Shopping! (say that 5 times fast!) One trick to getting the best deals is the buy things when they are in season. I'm not just talking about produce.  What I mean is that if you buy things when they are most popularly sold, all the stores compete to give you the best deals. For example, the best time of year to buy chicken broth and stuffing mix is around Thanksgiving (or the day after!). The best time to buy snack size or kid size lunch foods is in September during back to school sales.  The best time to buy things like soda, chips, snacks, and other things like that is Superbowl Sunday! We like to have these snacks and things on hand for when guests come over. And we make our favorite pinwheels appetizer out of crescent rolls.


Vons Shopping Trip 2/6/11

Original Total     $109.80
I Actually Paid   $16.66
Total Saved       $93.15
_____________________________________

I got 7 packages of crescent rolls for FREE!  They actually paid me $5.99 towards the rest of my groceries. The total for the cresent rolls alone would have been $20.93. I got a 12.99 discount for bringing in a rain check. Plus I brought in 7 coupons for save $.75 that doubled up to Save $1 on each. 

I got the 12 packs of soda for $1 each (normally $4.98). I used a Vons coupon for get 4 packs for $8. Then I used 4 Save $.75 coupons which doubled up to $1 off. 

I got 6 cans of soup for $.49 each (normally $2.49).  They were on sale for $.99 and I had a coupon for save $1 on 2. 

I got Tostitos chips for $.44 each. They were on Sale for $1.44 and I had a coupon for save $.55 which doubled up to $1 off.

I got Cheeze-Its for $1.19. They were on sale for $1.69. I had a coupon for save $1 on 2.  

I got Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal for $.77 (normally $3.99). They were on sale for $1.77. And I had 3 Save $1 coupons. 

I got Kraft Shredded Cheese for $1.50. It was on sale for $2. I had a coupon for Save $1 on 2. 

These sale prices end today. But I think the Tostitos chips were a Sunday only deal.

Why would anyone NOT use coupons?!
