Swagbucks gets a Makeover!
Swagbucks is getting a makeover...their homepage that is! I guess with turning another year older (they did just turn the ripe old age of 4) it's time to get a new look so don't be shocked when you stop by and things look just a bit different. I personally like the new streamlined look and the ability to see a snapshot from all of the Earn options right from the front page! Still the same great Swagbucks, still the same great rewards...what will they come up with next?
Extra Pocket Change: Gifthulk
Gifthulk is another online rewards site that I have had some experience with. While I haven't earned as many rewards through them as I have with Swagbucks, its a VERY minimal amount of effort per day. For my very first redemption I did run into a bit of a glitch as they ask for you to verify your account via a code they will send to your cell phone. Since I don't have a cell phone I had to submit a support ticket but they were very helpful and my payment came through the very next payment cycle. The other thing that I particularly like about Gifthulk is that to redeem for paypal cash is the same amount of credits as for Amazon.ca gift cards which you don't often see with online rewards sites. Every day I complete the daily poll and also watch their Facebook page for the Fountain of Youth Code (even the code name is fun!) The code is usually posted around 8pm our time (they must be in a different time zone) although not always. And that's it! There are, of course, other offers that you can complete and I have lucked out with some videos giving great credits but otherwise that is my Gifthulk routine...all of 1 minute a day!

February Round Up
As 2011 came to an end I shared with you some of my goals for the year ahead. Despite February having an extra day this year it still flew by.
We've already saved ALMOST $200 through watching for sales, menu planning and using coupons! As with the previous month I find that we are shopping WAY less than we used to. As with January I tried to stick to our menu plan, did several "double duty" meals and did manage to freeze a couple of leftover items (chili, pasta sauce) for use at a later date. I'm super excited to test drive a menu plan created by Amy (January's Parents Night presenter).
From February's List:

I'm super excited to test drive a menu plan created by Amy (January's Parents Night presenter).
From February's List:
- To stock up on Amazon.ca gift cards through Swagbucks earnings so that I can order my Easter gifts for the boys at the end of the month. Done. I currently have a balance of $45 in gift cards in my Amazon.ca account, more than enough for Easter gifts and a 1st bday present for my youngest. Don't forget to save up your gc's. Most Amazon.ca orders over $25 ship free! Thanks to everyone who joined this month. Message me if you have any questions.
- To repurpose an item from around the house into something new (I have a great idea...stay tuned) I personally failed at this one but I'll still take it as a partial win. My hubby took out a cabinet from the basement and then reassembled it in the garage for his tools! Way to go!
- To continue to use sales, coupons,etc. to save on groceries in conjunction with meal plans. Going to try really hard to come up with some fun lunches this month and put my new found batch/freezer cooking knowledge to the test. Think I did a pretty good job!
- I am thrilled that I will be presenting at the next Kindermusik with Lisa McCann parent's night tentatively scheduled for Tuesday Februray 28th. Will be doing a Coupon 101 intro as well as coupon exchange. Thanks to everyone who came out! I hope you gained a "wealth" of knowledge!
- On my Looking Ahead to 2012 list March is DESTASH month! I have a Mom table booked for the Mom to Mom sale at the beginning of April and already have 3 giant boxes full of stuff to sell. Since my goal was to destash 5 items/week that means I have to find at least 20 more items to add to that pile. In addition I want to try and add items to some of the online buy/sell sites to destash.
- I've got a couple of "guinea pigs" who are helping me test drive a sort of consultation program that I'm working on....stay tuned
- Continue to save, save, save, and share, share, share with all of you!
Canadian Freebie Alert: Free Sample of Thinsations Cookies
