Earning money & free stuff with Swagbucks

Not sure if you've heard of Swagbucks or not, but it really is great! All you do is use their search engine, watch clips, play games, participate in offers, whatever you want to do, to earn "bucks." Those bucks are later traded in for prizes, amazon gift cards(what I use mine on), & basically anything else. If I devote about 30 mins. a day to Swagbucks I can accumulate enough for 5 $5 amazon cards a month. I then use those amazon cards to purchase diapers & wipes. On Amazon you can get basically anything you could ever imagine, but I choose to use them only on that. Swagbucks in addition to a couple other sites I have never paid for a diaper or wipe since my son has been born! He's 16 1/2 months old! I'll get to the other sites later, I'm new to this whole blogging business :) Here's the signup link, try it out!! Make sure you stick with it though, it will pay off once you get used to it!

What you need to know about shopping online!

Shopping online is great! Convenience, usually better deals, better selection, the list goes on & on! I've found that I get much better deals online (pay attention to shipping costs though!) The Childrens Place is the main place I get my kids' clothes because it is actually SO cheap! They will run a Free Shipping Day at least once a week or every 2 weeks. Pay attention to their main page & there's always a 15% off your purchase code! If not, you can always find one on ebates.com (Link to follow...)
What I do is shop only on the free shipping days, use the extra 15% off code, AND only shop the clearance! Everything I get averages about $3/item! That's cheaper then Kmart & Walmart, & the clothes are much cuter! You may have to stock up a year ahead of size or time, but hey! Who cares?! A good thing about Childrens Place clothes is you can always resell them for about the same price you bought them for too.
Now: what you need to know!
There is a site called ebates.com All you do is go to that website first, sign in, & type in where you want to shop! There will be probably a couple of coupon codes listed that you can remember too when you go to check out! Click on Shop Now, & you're automatically ready to earn cash back on your purchases! (It will tell you how much % you will get back.) most of the time it's about 2%-5%, but some stores offer 10%! I think shoes.com (also always has promo codes), offers 8%. It might not be a lot when you just have a $10-30 order, but think about the big purchases too! $100 shoes, $600 patio furniture set, anything! IT ALL ADDS UP! The usually send their checks out every 3-4 months. You will be surprised how much you can get! One time I had an $8 check, but the next one was $42, so it does add up!

Put your child in a cartoon!

My daughter loves Dora! When I received the email that had 50% off the service, I was all over it! I highly recommend sites like Groupon & 8Moms too! For those of you who like to "go out and do" all the time, these sites are great! We decided we were going to go back to Nickelodeon Suites in Orlando this year for 1/2 the week. I booked it. A couple weeks later I received an email from Groupon & it was 53% off Nickelodeon Suites! So of course I called, bought it, then cancelled our previous reservation! Ended up saving $200! That's a huge difference! Definitely keep an eye out for those sites! Long story short, the website is www.kideo.com!
Groupon is: http://www.groupon.com/r/uu10177358
8 Moms: http://www.8moms.com/deal/national/kideo (Direct link to the deal! 10 days left to buy!)
