I'm a Swaggernaut!!!

Like many families our family is on a very strict budget. We have to be very careful how much money we spend on groceries and amenities every week. I don't mind this because it allows me to be a stay-at-home mother to my sweet Chloe Jo! While I'm not sure my getting a job can be avoided if we want to stay ahead of the game and save a little on the side, I am being creative in the ways we are saving money. I took a break from couponing while we were settling in but am now back at that. It is crazy how much money we save from couponing! I rarely have good coupons for food because most of the time name brand foods are more expensive with a coupon than store brands. I mainly coupon for items like toothpaste, shampoos and soaps. I frequent this blog for more money saving tips, tricks and ideas. This site has been great for getting deals on Christmas gifts (yes, I'm already shopping)! The last thing I want to talk about is that I am now a swaggernaut. I have signed up with Swagbucks and have been steadily earning points to redeem towards giftcards. Swagbucks is essentially a search engine. I go there to search anything I want to do on the internet. I don't ever use my favorites list anymore because it takes just a second longer to type "blogger" in the search box and click on the link. When you search, you may or may not earn swagbucks. I usually win 3 to 4 times a day depending on how much I'm on the internet. You don't win every time, though. Over the last two months, I've earned over 1,000 bucks and I have enough to redeem on a couple of $5 Amazon gift cards. I am saving my points to help pay for Christmas gifts. Anyway, if you want to be a money saving person or family, please click on the banner in this post or on the banner on my sidebar. They will direct you to the sign-up page and also are my page referrals. Referrals are a great way to maximize your earnings because you can earn up to 1,000 swagbucks per referral! Everytime your referral wins, you win too!

So, if you love free things like me and are not signed up with Swagbucks, please sign up through my links! This is a great way to help you save!
