Thank you, Swagbucks!

Hey, I like posting my swagbucks here on my blog. It gives me concrete documentation of my earnings. And I can keep track of how long it takes me to earn my next gift card. I want to do that as soon as possible. You never know when Swagbucks is going to raise the stakes and raise the amount from 45 Swagbucks back to 110 Swagbucks to earn the $5 Amazon.com gift card.

My 5th Swagbucks Gift Card!

We are happy to inform you that your $5 Amazon.com e-Gift Card is now posted within the "My Gift Cards" section of your Swag Bucks account profile!

I requested my Amazon.com e-gift Card on June 3rd and it finally posted last night! That was 13 days! Wow, I think that was the longest it's ever taken. Usually it's about a week or so.

The awesome thing is that I'm almost there for getting my next e-gift card. I am five swagbucks away from my next Amazon.com e-gift card. I figure it will take me another day or two. I've never really sat down to figure it out, but I guess the turn around time for me to earn each card is about 2 weeks - give or take. That's not too shabby.

Luigi's anyone?

I had the most amazing grocery shopping trip at Shoprite Saturday night. It was raining and late but I just had to go. I already bought my coupons through The Coupon Master and I was ready to get my deals.

I bought:
12 Luigi ices (yes, 12 boxes and with 6 in each box, we are proud owners of 72 cups of Italian ice!)
14 boxes of Ronzoni pasta
4 Chips Ahoy
8 boxes of Zip Loc bags
5 boxes of Hefty One Zip bags
1 gallon of 2% milk
2 lb bag of carrots
1 lb bag of baby carrots
1 pineapple
1 red pepper
2 yams
2 mangos
1 red onion
2 pints of blueberries
2 bunches of bananas
1 Heluva Colby Jack cheese
2 packages of pizza dough
1 Fleischmann's margarine
1 SR butter
2 SR shredded cheese
3 cans of SR creamed corn
2 cans of Cento tomato paste
3 bags of Quaker Oats soy chips
3 bags of Pepperidge Farm goldfish
1 Arnold's bread
4 lbs of banana
4 Silk Soy yogurt
1 Kashi Waffle
1 VO5 shampoo
1 Earthwise reusuable totebag
1 lb deli turkey breast
1/2 lb Alpine Lace muenster cheese
1/2 lb Thumann's bologna

The original total was $152.30

The total after my Shoprite Price Plus card was $125.12

The total after the canvas bag refund was $124.67. It's $.05 per bag.

And then after coupons, my grand total was $83.68! Yes, $68.62 came off the bill after the Price Plus card and coupons. I saved 45%! Woohoo! Okay, maybe I should add in the cost of my purchase of the coupons. So I only saved 44%. Ooooh...

The Kashi Waffles were free.
The VO5 shampoo was free.
The Earthwise reusable bag was free.
The Alpine Lace cheese was free.
And they paid me, yes paid me, to take the Luigi Italian ice. With an overage of $.17 per box, SR paid me $2.04 to take 12 boxes of Italian ice. And now I am the best mommy and wife in the world. hehehe

Swagbucks

Well, obviously, I've just discovered how to share the swagbucks I've won here. I think I'm up to 5 Amazon giftcards. That's $25! And I am almost there for my 6th GC. That's $30 in free money just searching or shall we say swagging as I would normally do. And I've been part of Swagbucks since Februray or March, I think.

Okay, it's isn't a whole lot of money, but there's nothing extra I really have to do. It's not like I have to spend 20 minutes to do surveys. I mean, yes, I've earned checks and gift cards doing surveys, too. But swagbucks takes no effort. I simply use their search engine like I would use Google or Yahoo or whatever search is out there. Swagbucks actually uses Google and Ask to do their searches so it is a legitimate search. I think depending on which server you use, you can install a Swagbucks toolbar. That of course makes swagging so much easier. You definitely do not have to think about it, since any search you do will automatically be done through swagbucks. I do not have a Swagbucks toolbar but it's not really harder. I usually have a window or two open with the swagbucks site and I generally remember to search or swag through that page. It's not the best search engine but it is decent. Sometimes but not too often, I will have to resort back to Google to refine or expand my searches but Swagbucks works pretty well for the most part.

So if you're interested, click here to start swagging.
