Friday = MEGA Swagbucks Day!

 .

Today is Friday, which means that it is Mega Swag Bucks day!  This means that you could win up to 2,000 Swagbucks at a time, rather than 100... so start searching!

.

What is Swagbucks?

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Swagbucks, it's is a rewards site and search engine that allows you to earn virtual dollars (i.e. "Swag Bucks") by doing things that you do every day anyway, such as searching the web, online shopping, submitting polls, watching TV clips, etc.  These dollars can be redeemed for a variety of things, including gift cards to Amazon.com, Target, Barns & Noble, Southwest Airlines, etc.  To give you some perspective, it only takes 450 swagbucks to get a $5 Amazon.com gift card!  So, the bottom line is that you are basically earning rewards for free simply by doing your searches through swagbucks instead of other search engines like google.  If someone is going to give me something simply for searching the web like I normally do, I say, why not?!  To sign up and start earning, go here.

Swabucks Tips

Here are a few tips that should help you succeed at Swagbucks:

• First, you obviously need to sign up if you haven't already.  Currently, you will earn 30 Swagbucks simply for joining!
• When you're browsing the web, use Swagbucks instead of google or yahoo.  This is the hardest part because it takes a while to break the habit of going to your usual search engine.  To make it easier to remember, I would recommend changing your home page from google to swagbucks, at least until you develop the new habit of using Swagbucks. 
• It's also helpful to download the Swagbucks toolbar/widget (see the Swagbucks widget on the right hand side of this blog).  You can use this tool throughout the day to type your web searches. 
• Use Swagbucks even when you know the web address.  For example, instead of typing "gmail" into the address bar at the top of my browser, I always go to the Swagbucks site or use my Swagbucks toolbar to "search" for gmail and other sites I commonly visit.  Because you earn Swagbucks randomly by using it to search the web, you increase your chances of earning Swagbucks by using it to search for pages you normally visit. 
• Search for Swag codes and check my blog.  Swag codes are often released by Swagbucks and can be entered in your Swagbucks account to earn you more Swagbucks.  You can search for codes yourself, or you can check my blog daily for codes. 

My Swagbucks

To see how great Swagbucks can actually be, check out my post about my first Swagbucks reward, a $50 Southwest gift card!  I'd say that's pretty awesome for simply using Swagbucks to search the web! Next, I think I'll save up for some Amazon gift cards to use toward Christmas presents!  To give you some incentive to try it out, I've heard of people who've been able to pay for all their holiday presents through gift cards redeemed on Swagbucks!  How awesome is that?!

The Power of Coupons

For any of you skeptics out there, here's an example of what you can do with coupons.  Above is a picture of my purchases from Rite Aid and CVS this week.  My total out of pocket expense was  $6.36 (almost all sales tax), and I received $24 in +UP bucks to use during my next trip at Rite Aid!  My total savings, according to my receipts, was $159.70!!  Woohoo!

Last Day! $30 for $75 to Spend on Wine from Lot18 = premium wine up to 84% off!!

Today is the last day to get in on this HOT Living Social deal: $30 for $75 to spend on wine from Lot18!  Even better, the fine print states that this voucher CAN be combined with other promotions!  On top of that, the reason this deal is so good is because it's like double-dipping on daily deal sites!  Lot18 is a wine-only daily deal site that offers premium and often hard-to-find wines for up to 60% off (plus FREE shipping when you purchase just four items)!  So, when you add the the Living Social deal, which gives you an additional 60% off of the already-deeply-discounted wines on Lot18, you could potentially score some premium wine for up to 84% off!!!!  This should make for an AWESOME deal! AND, this voucher doesn't expire until April, 2012, so you have a whole year to use it!

Here's how to get the best deal:

• First, head on over here and click either "Login" or "Sign Up" in the upper right hand corner of the page to log in or register for Living Social
• Once you're registered and signed in, simply click "buy now" to purchase your voucher (Note: If you don't see the Lot18 deal once you signed in, simply click here to be taken to that particular deal). 
• Next, please accept my invitation to join Lot18 (it's free!)
• When your Living Social voucher is ready, add at least 4 items to your cart to score free shipping. (Note: Some deals on Lot18 include more than one bottle; however, you only have to add four items total - i.e. 4 bottles of wine total - to your cart to score free shipping.  So, for example, if you buy a 3-bottle deal and a 1-bottle deal on Lot18, it counts as 4 total items, and your shipping will be free).  Of course, you don't need to purchase four bottles in order to redeem your voucher, but I personally hate paying shipping costs!
• Redeem your Living Social voucher at checkout.
• Enjoy!

GROUPON: $65 for an Ultimate Home Gym from Rock Bottom Gym! ($170.30 Value!)

Groupon is at it again with yet another awesome online deal: $65 for an Ultimate Home Gym from Rock Bottom Gym (a $170.30 Value!)!  Once I entered the real world, I started to realize how difficult it is to find time to stay in shape and how expensive it is to join a gym.  So, I've recently been trying to build up my home equipment in order to get a great workout at home, which saves both time and money!  Therefore, I've obviously had my eye out for some good deals on home workout equipment.  Since I don't buy gym equipment very often, I wasn't sure if this was a good deal or not, so I asked one of my friends who happens to be a personal trainer, and here's what she had to say:
.
For all of that together, it looks like a great deal to me!  If you were to go to buy all of that separately, it would be a lot more.  Bands are extremely versatile, especially when you have the door anchor.  You can work every muscle in your body at different levels of intensity and angles.  They're way cheaper than dumbbells, take up less space, and allow you to do all the same exercises.  The VersaDisc is a great tool for core, balance, and stability exercises. 
.
So, if you're looking for way to stay in shape while saving time and money, you may want to check out this Groupon!

GROUPON: $25 for $50 worth of Floral Arrangements from Teleflora! (Great for Mother's Day!)

Groupon is offering a deal today that would be great to snag for Mother's Day: $25 for $50 worth of Floral Arrangements from Teleflora!  Perfect for Mother's Day!  Note that it is a little confusing when you go to purchase this deal because it asks you to choose from one of seven locations; however, please note that this deal CAN be used online (the fine print notes that it is available for pick-up at the locations listed in the deal OR for nationwide delivery).  Here's what the company said in response to questions about ordering online:


Yes, you can use the Groupon online. However, it has to be on the website of the local florist you chose. It matters who you chose even though it is online because behind each local website are real florists putting the arrangement together for you.  Nationwide Delivery -Yes.  Every florist charges a different delivery fee. It also depends on how far you want it delivered.


From what I can tell, it seems that the Silverlake Flowers location offers the lowest shipping charges (it looks like ~$10 for a cross-country delivery) and no "wire fee."  So, if you'd like to order online, I'd recommend that you choose the Silverlake location - it won't matter that you don't live there since you can redeem your voucher online for nationwide delivery.  Also note that quantities are limited, so hurry up and snag this deal before it's gone!
