Have I Mentioned....

Just how much I adore Swagbucks!?!

I joined back in May of this year, and have been stockpiling amazon.com giftcards since then. Originally I was going to save up for a Wii Fit package, but I changed my mind not long ago. Today it happened

I placed my order!

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens

Granted, it's not an expensive lens by any means, but it has had fantastic reviews from everyone I have spoken to. So I ordered it this morning!

Total Price: $99.85

Amazon.com gift cards earned through Swagbucks: $70.00

Leftover balance from old gift card won via blog giveaway : $1.06

Total cost for me: $28.79 

I could not be more excited! 

And Swagbucks has made it even easier to earn! They recently launched Swagbucks TV, where you can watch videos (and they're actually entertaining videos! Not lame advertisements) While you are watching videos, you may be randomly awarded with Swagbucks! My first day watching vids, I earned 15 Swagbucks within 15 minutes. And there are plenty of other ways to earn too!

 

If you havent' already signed up, why  not give it a try? I love getting deals, and with being able to earn all these gift cards, it makes it easier for me to save money :)

Are you a book junkie?

How about a music or movie junkie? I know I am, and on the Swagbucks website I noticed a Special Offer link for a site called Swaptree.

How it works? Users sign up (it's completely free!) and then they add items to their "Have" list on the site. These items are ones you are willing to put up for trade in exchange for other items. You also create a "Want" list, where you search and add titles or items that you want. 

Swaptree then notifies you if an item you want is available for trade for an item that you have. The only cost to you is shipping costs, but Swaptree steps it up with the option to add a credit card to your account, and print postage straight from the website after a trade has been accepted! This postage label can be printed on regular computer paper and packing taped to a bubble mailer (you can gets packs of 2 that pefectly fit books and DVDs at the Dollar Tree for $1), and then all you have to do is drop  it in the mailbox and it's ready to go.

Swagbucks offers a nice amount of swagbucks when you complete your first few trades. I just signed up for Swaptree last week, and have completed 4 trades so far. The first trade I was given 100 Swagbucks. And then 40 each for the following 3 trades. That is 220 swagbucks just for trading out old books and movies, for books and movies I would rather have!

By using Swaptree I have decreased my carbon footprint by 35 pounds and saved $23 just by trading 4 items.

Be sure to sign up for Swagbucks first if you are not already a member:

Then click on Special Offers, and Swaptree should be along the top banner!

I received my first two items yesterday:

I decided to read Something Borrowed first and am about 5 chapters in :)

Summer Swagbucks Promotion!!

Swagbucks is starting the “Summer of Swag” week this coming Monday, June 7 with at least 5 different swagcodes being given throughout the day! Swagcodes can be entered in at the swagbucks homepage to give you extra swagbucks in addition to the ones you might get during your internet searches!


Besides going code crazy on Monday, a different bill will be highlighted every day – BIG bills, too. As an added bonus, every day the featured bill will be awarded to every 7th win on Swagbucks! On Monday, that bill will be the 25 Swag Buck bill!

If you are hesitant to sign up, here's a little incentive! Go to Swagbucks and use the code SUMMEROFSWAG when signing up for an extra 20 Swag Bucks to get your account off to a nice cushy start. The code is good until midnight on Friday, June 11th.


If you haven't heard anything about Swagbucks, it is basically a search engine that randomly awards you Swagbucks for searching the internet as you would normally do. Swagbucks can then be redeemed at the Swagstore for all kinds of fabulous prizes. I joined not too long ago myself, and have already earned a $5 gift card to amazon.com, although there are PLENTY of options to choose from to redeem your bucks if you're not an Amazon.com junkie like I am!

Mega Swagbucks Friday!

Are you using Swagbucks yet??

 

I just recently got into it after reading a lot about it over the blog-averse! It's free to join. I've already gotten $10 in amazon gift cards just for entering swagcodes and doing internet searches! It's pretty fantastic. Fridays are the Mega-Swagbucks days where over the course of the day they give out approximately 40,000 swagbucks! To get yourself a $5 Amazon.com gift card it's 450 Swagbucks, which does not take long at all to stack up to! They have a lot of other prizes to choose from and sweepstakes you can enter with your Swagbucks as well.

Just figured I would share. You can click the image above to go to the site if you wish to sign up!
