    I use SwagBucks every day, so check that. And you reminded me about YouData so I did that too. Now I’m checking out the free and free after rebate things… Thanks!

    Went out and got 6 blushes and bronzers in different shades and used 3 8.00/2 coupons which gave me quite a nice overage towards the purchase of other fun stuff for my daughter. These cover girl coupons are great. I still have 8 more I’m going back to get more and repeat the same deal only on a larger scale!

    I bought Carmex, Cover Girl and I’m going to buy the Lysol and send in the rebates tomorrow! Fingers crossed they come in on time 🙂

    I activated this month’s Saving Star coupons. I didn’t know about Saving Star until I read your post. Thanks!
