I do LOTS of Christmas shopping through Amazon and with my Swagbucks, I KNOW I will be doing lots more this year because it not only saves me time, money and energy, but those Swagbucks are going to let me get lots of stuff totally FREE! Now, I will get that stuff FREE and I won’t have to use extra bucks to pay for the shipping because it too will be FREE! LOVE THAT.
Heads up….I scheduled a reminder post for December 1st to make sure we don’t forget to cancel these free subscriptions if we don’t wish to pay the $79.99 fee!
We have been members of the zoo for 5 years now! We LOVE the zoo and I actually got to go this past weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather. We typically go multiple times a year including Easter, Mother’s Day weekend, HallZOOween, the Festival of Lights and then toss in a couple here and there. It never gets old and is something to do that costs so little out of pocket.

This week, you can find Wisk Laundry Detergent on sale at CVS for buy one, get one FREE!
This sale when combined with the $3.00 coupon (2 of them to be exact) makes for a great deal! Here’s how this will work:
WISK, Buy one, get one FREE ($8.99)
Use TWO coupons
-$3/1 WISK Laundry Detergent, exp. 9-26-10 (RP 08/29/10)
=$2.99 WYB 2 ($1.50 each)
Odds of your store having stock for this are very slim, but that’s ok because we know we can request rain checks and head back later when the stock is back. Just don’t forget to use your coupons before they expire!
I am going to keep this post short and sweet so you can get right over to cincysavers.com to check out their HUGE Labor Day Blow Out Sale happening now through September 7th at11pm.
Expect to find FIFTY – yes, 50 of their deals that are typically marked at 1/2 off and marking them as low as $5.00! You will not find a deal costing more than $15!
I know…I know – get out of town! 
Also, keep in mind that they never charge shipping or processing fees.
Now, what are you waiting for!?! Get out of here and check out the deals!
Happy Friday my friends!
What makes this Friday even better? TWO THINGS…..
- It is the last day of the week before a beautiful LONG holiday weekend – AND
- It’s MEGA SWAGBUCKS DAY!!
If you sign up and search, search, search (via the Swagbucks search bar), you can earn UP TO 10,000 Swagbucks in one shot. Now, with that said, the most I have earned in one search is probably in the 75 range, BUT…you just never know when you might get really, really lucky.
If you have been around long, you know that I recently ordered 2 dry erase wall calendars (my shot at some level of organization) and got them both TOTALLY FREE by using my Swagbucks. You will also know that I was able to get approximately $80 worth of toys last Christmas FREE as well! I’ve got your attention, don’t I?
I am currently at 12,943 and still trying to decide if I am going to set out to get my son’s Christmas almost free or if I want to keep letting them add up for an awesome deal later on. EY…such decisions!
Now, how do I get my Swagbucks?
- SEARCH, SEARCH, SEARCH – I even search my own beloved Nickels-n-Dimes!
- LOOK FOR HIDDEN CODES. FB is a great place to watch for friends mentioning secret codes that are out. They are limited time codes, so you have to snag them before they are gone.
- REFERRALS. You can refer your friends – and even your enemies if you are just that persuasive! It’s a win/win situation. They get their bucks while you get “thank you” bucks (up to a max of 1,000 per referral).
While these are the basic ways to earn, there are so many other ways to get them so make sure you spend some time checking out the site and all it has to offer!
While there, make sure you head to the tab at the top that says promote. Go to promote banners and then copy and paste your referral link onto your Facebook page, into emails, whatever – to let your friends know how to sign up and to make sure YOU get their bonus bucks!
So, on this glorious September 3rd, the final day before our long, beautiful, holiday weekend, I leave you with the advice of SIGN UP, SEARCH AND WIN!

I hate having to do this and while it does not happen often (it really doesn’t), it does happen on occasion. Our first selected winner has never responded so a new winner for the $20 worth of Avon giveaway, will now be announced:

I could really use some makeup but it will probably be the Sweet Treats Overnight Duffle Bag for my dd!
Angela, you will have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be selected. Feel free to check out the site again to see how you’d like to spend you $20 (in case you changed your mind!).
My Blog Spark and and Chex Cereal sent me a gift pack to try the Gluten Free Chex Cereal and some tools to get the “job” done.
Gluten Free Chex cereal was not new to me though. I originally tried this cereal last August when I was invited to join General Mills for their Eat and Greet event.
If you are like me, you wonder if the taste is altered when new concoctions are brought about, but I can tell you that this cereal is just as good – if not better!
We also learned about different recipes of goodies that you can make with this cereal – some of which are located right on the box! You can also find recipes for Gluten Free treats at www.Chex.com/GlutenFree or LiveGlutenFreely.com.
Unfortunately, I forgot my selected recipe at home and had to find a new one on my cellular while at the store. I was not paying attention and the one I selected was not totally Gluten Free, but boy o boy…it was good!
My selected recipe called for Chocolate Gluten Free Cereal, but since I could not find it at our store, I went with the Rice Gluten Free cereal and it was great as well!
My Blog Spark, Chex and myself would love to let you try this out and taste just how great it is. They are offering up a gift pack for one of you as well!
The Chex gluten-free cereal prize pack includes:
- VIP coupon for a free box of Chex cereal
- A (really nice) microwavable / sealable bowl
- A Chex gluten-free recipe card
- Measuring spoons and cups
How to enter? Two possible entries each! Leave a separate comment for each.
- Head to Chex Homemade Party Mix Facebook page and “Like” them!
- Go to www.Chex.com/GlutenFree or LiveGlutenFreely.com and let us know what recipe sounds best to you.
This giveaway will close September 7th at 9pm. A winner will be selected via Random.org and notified here on this blog AND via email. Due to spam issues, etc, please note that your official notification will be via this blog but an email will be sent. The winner will have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be selected and notified. Winner should allow up to 6 weeks for prize to arrive.
Thank you to My Blog Spark and Chex for the VIP coupon, prize pack, information and for sponsoring this giveaway with the additional prize pack.
There is a SMOKING HOT $5 off 5 Kraft Cheese coupon ready for you to print. (Remember…since it’s a Bricks coupon you can hit the back button (3) times and print a second!)
HURRY TO GET YOUR COUPONS!
Thanks Jessica!
Take this deal one step further with Brianne’s idea and try the following at Meijer:
NOTE: according to the terms of the catalina she references, it sounds like you would need to purchase CHUNK CHEESE for at least 9 of the 10.
Sears is kicking off the Labor Day celebration early with great sales!
Starting TODAY through Tuesday, September 7th, you can expect to find great deals all over the store!
I love shopping events like this as you will always find additional savings that may not be offered at other times of the year. If you recall, it was at one of their great sales that we scored an awesome deal on a new grill, cover and tools this summer.
Some offers to expect:
- All this talk of going green and conserving energy has THE BIG SWITCH on the radar. Switching to Energy Star qualified appliances could be a thought you want to pursue with sale prices during this Big Switch Labor Day sale. Recycle old inefficient appliances and save big on your utility bills at the same time. Learn more about how you can help reduce your energy and water consumption by visiting SEARSBIGSWITCH.COM. Some offers this weekend include:
- 30% off ALL Energy Star qualified appliances from Whirlpool, Samsung and Maytag!
- 20% off ALL other Energy Star appliances!
- 5% off ALL other appliances when paying with a Sears Card.
- Save over $700 on an LG Washer / Dryer pair – AWESOME!
- DID YOU SEE? Dyson is included and offers FREE shipping if purchased online and over $149!
Did you know:
- Only Sears has the largest selection of ENERGY STAR qualified appliances.
- Only Sears has the top 10 brands!
- Everyday low price guarantee.
I am sure that before too long, our washer and dryer will be needing replaced so this might be something for us to consider as well. They are getting old and have already needed service to get them going again. $700 off LG pairs is a great deal!
