It's Mega Swagbucks Day

It's Friday which means it's Mega Swagbucks Day. You can get up to 100 Swagbucks in 1 search on Mega Swagbucks Day. If you're not earning Swagbucks yet, I have to recommend it. I've earned enough Swagbucks since the beginning of January of this year to get $35 in Amazon gift cards simply by using Swagbucks to do my online searches. I'm saving them up to help pay for Christmas gifts this year. If you want to get started earning Swagbucks, go here to sign up. You'll get 3 free Swagbucks just for signing up.

Also, there is a Bonus Swagcode available in the Special Offers section. Just go to Special Offers and click on the blue box on the right that says "No Obligation Offers." Skip through all the offers and on the last page you'll find the code.

Weekly Deals

I had a pretty good week shopping.I didn't take the time to plan my Publix trip well enough and think I could have done better but I'm not going to worry over that. I actually planned to do one more trip for some meat but I never got around to it. The deals go through the middle of next week so I may go early next week. I also have company coming next weekend so I may do some extra shopping next week as well.
