Swag Bucks
Have you tried Swag Bucks yet? I didn't for the longest time but I am so glad I did. I have earned $50 over $100!!! in Amazon Gift Certificates for basically just doing what I do.
This is Swag Buck's explanation of how it works:
http://www.swagbucks.com/g/how-it-works
Basically you search the internet, take surveys, polls, watch video clips and get paid to do it. **NEW! ONLINE & OFFLINE SHOPPING REWARDS!** Get paid to shop online at your favorite stores. My main stores are Amazon, Kohls, Walmart, and Target, but the list is long!! Usually works as a get X sb per dollar spent.
I am not a major Swagger. I will stop by and take the daily poll most every day and complete a survey or two, but mostly I get my points from searching the internet. I have downloaded the search engine tool bar and use that. It is integrated with Google, which is a plus for me. For example, today I was searching for "Souper Salad coupons" and I was awarded 28 Swag Bucks. Now, this is more Bucks than normal, but it was a pleasant surprise.
They also have codes that are good for a certain amount of points. They are sometimes very tricky and require some thinking, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes very easy to do. I find it convenient to follow them on Facebook and have their blog hand in my RSS feeder. I also have their swidget on my personal blog that will alert you to when there is a code and will give clues on how to find them!

Curious about how much you spend weekly? Participating in a challenge like the one I am? I made a nice spreadsheet for you! :)
Access it here >>Click<<
Click "download original document" to save it to your computer so you can modify it. Here is what mine looks like so far!
Yikes! I'm not doing so hot! Better get on it! (Can you tell which week I had the visitors and the Costco run for TP?) hehe!
Spending Goals
I have been on the fence if I want to do Fabulously Frugal's Monthly Budget Challenge... and I think I am going to try it. I want to go to Europe and this is certainly one way I can save money.
So... I am going to try to only spend $150 a month on groceries and home supplies.
I am going to try to keep you up to date... and I want you to keep me going with it!
January sucks though... I had to buy TP, I was feeding 4 extra people for 4 days, and I didn't shop with a goal in mind. I am already not going to make it this month!
This month so far:
Total Spent: $146.24
Total Saved: $82.87
(Did in spread sheet and got more accurate numbers)
Total Spent: $165.21
Total Saved: $115.46
Amount Left in Yearly Budget: $1,364.79

My FAVORITE coupon EVER!
Not the best every day coupon... but I can't wait to get me some Teddy Grahams!
Kraft cheese usually goes on sale. I would look out for a good deal. Not high value, but good.
These are only $2.58/box at Wal-Mart.
Money Maker at Wal-Mart... if you can find it in stock. I did last week and had quite the story....

FREE KY
Print the $3/1 KY product coupon off of Smart Source for this great money making deal. The 2 oz bottle of KY is regularly priced at $2.84, making this a money maker.
Now, I must admit I have a funny story to share with this coupon. I printed this coupon last month because I had heard of this deal before. I didn't look at the expiration date before going to the register and so I was a "day expired." The cashier told me they hadn't mailed in the monthly coupons yet and that the register manager would allow them to take coupons a few days after they expired. However, he stopped and asked, "Now, is this a want, or a need?" with a smile on his face. I was getting the deal because it was a money maker. Honest to goodness. I intended to give it away either to charity or at a bridal shower gag gift bag. I of course told him it was a want. Well, my husband came shopping with me. The cashier turns to him and says, "I bet your husband would say it was a need. Not a want." Wow. Haha. Little scared to buy products like this again! Needless to say, I got the deal but I walked away a little embarrassed.

Coupon Inserts 1/8/12
Apparently there are going to be 6, yes, SIX inserts on Sunday. I am just a little bit excited. :) Check out Sunday Coupon Preivew's website to see what is coming!
FREE Dental Floss
Floss is one of those things that I just refuse to pay for now. I can always get it for free or nearly free. Right now at Wal-Mart, you can get Oral B floss for +$.11! It is regularly $.89 and this weeks PG insert had a $1/1 Oral B floss coupon in it.
Not an Oral B kind of person? Then check out Smart Source QUICKLY to get your $1/1 Reach floss. This sells for $.97 at Wal-Mart for +$.03 overage!
Get flossing!

Buy Textbooks, Get $5 MP3 Credit
It's that time of year again. Time to buy textbooks. Although I suggest buying used textbooks (or ever better, borrowing from a friend), some books just have to be bought new. Check out this offer from Amazon. Buy $50 in qualifying textbooks and receive $5 in MP3 credit. Come on, we all listen to music while we study, right?
$.69 One Hit Wonders
You know all of those songs you love... but it's the only song you know by that artist? Catch them at Amazon today for $.69! I know there are a few I will be adding to my collection!
