Getting back on track!

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. Things have been busy. I have been using my stockpile and planning my meals around what is in the freezer and pantry though so that is good! This is a busy time of year for me with my job so I may be scattered here and there some.

Some new things to tell you about though....
My friend Tara reminded me about Swagbucks and what an easy way it was to get Amazon gift cards and even paypal money (or as I refer to it "fun money"). Swagbucks is a reward system for searching the internet. Basically it is a search engine that gives you points when you search the web. In turn you can redeem your points for stuff like paypal, Amazon gift codes, itunes gift cards, gift cards to restaurants/stores, etc. You can download their search bar and use it just like you would google. You receive 30 points to start your account and can earn anywhere from 1 to 50 points per search. I had to restart an account because my old email is blocked (long story) but just in the past week since creating a new swagbucks account, I have already earned close to 900 points. Each $5 Amazon gift code costs 450 points. I am hoping to have close to $100 in Amazon codes by Thanksgiving in order to buy some of my Christmas gifts! I know you are thinking "Wow, what a great idea, Jennifer!" :) So, will you help me? If you are not a member of Swagbucks yet, you can join HERE!! Why not? You are probably already searching the web daily, right?

Secondly, while we are on referral links.......I have posted in the past about Ebates. But maybe some of you haven't read that far back. Ebates is online shopping site that gives you a percentage of your shopping back to you in cash. For instance, you may be buying something off eBay and can get 5% of your total purchase back in cash if you go through Ebates. The percentages vary and there are tons of stores to choose from. You can receive your cash back quarterly either through the mail or your paypal account. Essentially this is free money if you are doing some shopping online anyways. Who doesn't like to save money? If you didn't, I'm sure you wouldn't be on my site right now! If you sign up for Ebates using the link HERE and make a purchase, we will both get $5 and you will also get a % of your purchase back. Easy enough?
