CVS- December 21

Wow.. it has been a while since I have done major shopping! Hopefully the new year will bring some new deals.

Last month, CVS ran a special that if you bought a $25 e-gift card, you got a $5 e-card for free. Knowing that I would eventually spend $25 at CVS, I jumped on it to get the free $5.

Yay Swagbucks!

(excuse the recycling please!)

I used our swagbucks from mid-January until mid-March to pay for most of that bookshelf. I ordered it off Amazon. It was originally $55, but I had $35 in amazon cards from swagbucks that I used. So I only paid $20 for it! It might not seem like much, and it's not that nice, but we needed it! We had been storing our food in boxes and grocery bags. Now we can put them away out of sight! So even though I could have waited another month and paid for it completely, I am so glad to have it!

I will probably try to go back to get some more chicken for $1.66 lb! And I usually don't pay for toothpaste (not that I steal it!), but I haven't seen a cheaper deal lately, and our stockpile was running low.

No picture today. It was crazy running around and unpacking, but I did manage to get to the store. I couldn't buy too much refrigerated items since our fridge will not be here until Tuesday. So far, keeping the food outside has kept the food cold!

We've Moved!

We've moved to a new state, so there is a new name for a blog! I will also have more options for grocery stores (only 15 miles away.) I am looking forward to my first big trip to stock up the new house! Look for a post soon (probably Saturday.)

Swagbucks Update

Since I am not going to the store often, I thought I would you on my Swagbucks.

I signed up January 2. Since then I have earned enough swagbucks for a $5 amazon gift card. And I am only 10 bucks away from a second gift card! It's a pretty easy way to earn free money!

You can sign up here!

Swagbucks

I just signed up, but I have read a good deal about Swagbucks. Basically, you sign up and search through them (like google), and they give you swagbucks. After you have earned so many, you can redeem your Swagbucks for numerous things- including Amazon gift cards. I am off to start searching!!!
