Have the summer games ignited a competitive fire within you? Take that inspired feeling and channel it towards completing your Olympic Rings Swago board next week!
Swago is a bingo-inspired promotion run by Swagbucks, a website that rewards you with points (called SB) for completing everyday online activities. You can redeem those SB for free gift cards. If you’ve never used Swagbucks, participating in Swago is a great introduction to the site because you can get extra bonuses for trying out all the activities as you complete your board.
If you didn’t participate in the last round of Swago, here’s what you need to know to get your 300 SB Bonus:
Starting Friday, August 19th head to your Swago Board and hit “Join” to pre-register. If you don’t hit “Join” you won’t get credit for completing the action items.
Swago will begin on Monday, August 22nd at 12:01am PDT/3:01am EDT, so sit tight and get ready.
Each square on your Swago Board will contain an action item to complete. They can be anything from getting a search win, earning SB in Surveys, or earning SB in nCrave.
Once you complete the action item in a particular square the square will change color signifying the action item is complete.
You have a limited amount of time to mark off as many squares as possible so use your time wisely.
Be mindful of the patterns and their corresponding bonuses located on the right of your Swago Board. The patterns will vary in difficulty and bonus value.
Once you’ve achieved a pattern the corresponding “Submit” button will light up. You can have multiple patterns available for submission, however, you can only submit ONE pattern so choose wisely.
The game ends Monday, August 29th at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT. So make sure to hit “Submit” on the pattern you wish to submit. If you don’t hit “Submit” before the game ends you won’t receive your SB bonus.

Update: The giveaway has closed, but read on to learn about an easy way to make your non-sandwich-eating kids happy!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not one of those fancy school lunch Moms. The chances that I’ll ever cut my kids’ fruit and veggies into the shape of Minions or Bunny Rabbits are slim to none.
I like simplicity. I like lunch ideas that don’t require more brain power than I can muster at 7 am. And I like giving my kids’ food that is healthy and I know they will actually eat.
We have one son who is not a sandwich eater and one that is. After some trial and error, I stumbled onto a lunch idea for my non-sandwich-eating son that is just as easy and passes his test.

It involves the same components as a sandwich – ham and cheese and Miracle Whip – but I wrap it up in a flour tortilla like a pinwheel instead. Easy peasy.
I discovered ALDI’s Never Any! Uncured Black Forest Ham a while back and seriously love it better than any other lunch meat I’ve had.
The Never Any! line of meats includes a variety of meats like chicken, turkey and sausage, and each product is certified by the USDA as meeting three criteria:
1. No antibiotics
2. No added hormones or steroids
3. No animal by-products (vegetarian fed)
Add to this fact that it’s just $3.29 per 7 oz. package and I’m sold. I never leave ALDI without it.
My son loves it too and gobbles up his lunch daily without a single carrot carved in the shape of Mickey Mouse. That’s a win-win in my book.

I’m excited to share that one lucky Cha-Ching on a Shoestring reader will win a $50 ALDI Gift Certificate in honor of their new Never Any! Line of Meats.
