Search & Win

Want to know what the new feature of the day is over at Swag Bucks?  Check it out:

Swagbucks.com 2.5 Launch:
 Swagbucks.com 2.5 is the next evolution of the Swag Bucks homepage.
 It will feature a new cleaner look, with easier navigation & quick
links and a few new special elements – we think it’s pretty snazzy 🙂

Swag Bucks Widget:  The ultimate referral / promotional
tool.  The widget will be 300px by 301px, and will feature a search
box, prize images, swag code alerts, and a referral tab   The widget
allows you to generate referrals through the registration tab, and
through those who do a search & win through the widget on your
page.  The widget is simple html code that you copy and paste on your
blog or social network profile!  If you ever wanted a search box that
generates referrals on your blog, this is how you get it!

I’m particularly excited about the new widget…can’t wait to put it up!

Once again, if you haven’t taken the Swag Buck plunge yet, now is the time to do it.  Just follow the instructions below to get 6 Swag Bucks in your account right away!

  • Sign up today and receive 3 Swag Bucks just for signing up.
  • Then enter code: SHOESTRING (make sure it’s all in caps) and you will receive an additional 3 Swag Bucks!  You are now well on your way to a $5 Amazon gift card for 45 Swag Bucks or other great prizes.
  • Be sure to download the toolbar right away and begin using it to search the web and the Swag Bucks will begin flowing in!

The code is good until Tues., June 16 at 11:59 PST.  For more details, go here.

The Big Race

I’m finally ready for my big race tonight.

“What big race?” you ask.

My ‘Race-Around-To-As-Many-Stores-As-Possible-While-Wes-Watches-The-Kids-For-a-Couple-Hours’ Race.  Let me tell you, if there were a prize, I would win it.  I am one focused girl when it comes to squeezing in as many deals as possible in the time allotted.

Since I’m organizing my list anyway, I thought I might as well share it with you.  It includes:

Aldi:
Just printed out my E-Mealz menu and shopping list and –VOILA!– my menu planning is done.  Kind of looking forward to trying ‘Salsa Sirloin Salad’ this week.  Yummy.

Staples:

I found this great deal on printer paper from Mercedes at Common Sense with Money:

HammerMill Copy Paper (500 sheets), $4.99
$3.99 Staples Easy Rebate (limit 2)
$1 after rebate! Offer good in stores until 6/13.

Target:
I plan on getting quite a few things here, including this Crystal Light deal, this Degree Men’s Deodorant deal, my free Mars candy bars, and a few other miscellaneous items I need.

CVS:
Gotta get some free Dawn Dish detergent and Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats for $.79 a box after ECBs.

That should do it for this week.  Don’t want to strain a muscle before the next big race!

If you are having trouble with your Wal-Mart not accepting printable coupons, you can print out the corporate coupon policy here, which clearly states that they will accept printable coupons.

The Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight

Cha-Ching challenge

Welcome to the weekly

Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight!

I am pleased to announce our
Cha-Ching Challenge Highlight Winner.

This week’s highlight is Living Rich with Coupons!

I like how Cindy describes herself:

“I am a wife, mom, gardener, decorator, organization nut. I love to watch sports, thinks Jack Bauer is the man, am a big Yankees fan and I drive a Mini Cooper. Other than all that I LOVE bargains. My family and friends laugh at my coupon binder but deep down I know they are really just jealous :)”    (Editor note: Go, Yankees!)

Check out her post sharing how she spent $53.10 and saved $65.47 last week.  Gotta love saving more than you spend!  Great job, Cindy!

While you are there, I recommend reading her Beginners section.  It is full of great tips and information for newbie couponers.

Would you like to join us in next week’s Cha-Ching Challenge?

Simply come back on Saturday (new day!) and join the Cha-Ching Challenge by adding a link to your post sharing your great deals for the week!
