I love playing Instant Win games and entering Sweepstakes!!
I don't sweep everyday. I only sweep generally late at night, while I'm watching tv. The odds are a little better the earlier or later in the day that you play because most likely there aren't quite as many people playing.
I also earn my time to play the sweeps. I mentioned this in my previous post about managing multiple survey sites.
I just do it for fun and I've been winning!
Check out some of the things I've won playing this past year:
Papa John's Large Pizza
Robitussin knit hat
Clinique Mascara
Revlon Lipstick
$50.00 Dollar General gift Card
$25.00 Victoria Secret Gift Card
2 Tickets to Six Flags
Free 20 oz. Coke
Oregon Chai Tea and Mug
Victoria Secret Pink Dog
Free Axe Product
Here are some of the current sweeps and instant wins I'm playing:
Some of these end tomorrow - so good luck!!
Grab a Free Sample of Rachael Ray Nutrish Dog Food. I love getting pet freebies in the mail!
My mom is so crafty and she tried her hand at being Green and Crafty at the same time! I love the result. Read on for a Guest Post from my awesome mom, Annette!!
Here is a great idea on how to recycle your Lipton Tea Bag Covers!
Make a scratch pad.
The Lipton Tea Bag Covers are paper and are is blank on the one side.
Cut off the sides before you open the bag all the way.
Then open bag and cut off "Legs."
This is what you have all lined up facing the same direction.
Staple these together, be sure the staple closes completely or take needle nose pliers to bend the ends under.
Add a "Cover" on top of the blank sides with 2nd staple. Very simple.
A quilted folder, or folder with pockets made with hot glue gun, pockets for the pads and crayons or colored pencils would make a nice Christmas gift for nieces and nephews.
THE FINAL PRODUCT:
My mom made the one shown for my 5 year old! This is absolutely perfect for church AND I can refill it for free!!!
The best part...My son LOVES it!!

Wow - CVS was rocking Thursday morning. Yes, I said Thursday because they were open and started their Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving Day at 8 am! My little sister, Cassandra (who is an awesome shopper) and I were there right on time! There were several other shoppers and the great thing was that everyone was so nice and everyone helped each other find things and we all worked waited patiently in line! We each would do two transactions and then step to the back of the line.
I did a total of 8 transactions - yes 8!!!
I did mess up my sixth transaction which cost me about a $1.50, but in my defense my son had a nose bleed and I had to rip open the Kleenex for my 7th transaction and I decided to pay for it in #5 since I had opened it to be fair. I doubt anyone would have cared, but I just felt better doing that! By the way, my son (5) was fantastic!

Three and a half years ago we had just brought our son home from Russia at the age of 21 months. I was home with him for six weeks before I was expected back to work. The six weeks were unpaid and after the expenses of the adoption, I was looking for ways to earn a little money on the side, or at least start saving some money. Shortly after starting back to work full-time, both my husband and I felt that I was needed at home more so I transitioned to part-time work, which meant a part-time check.
Before then I had never bothered to cut coupons, never bought a newspaper, and just bought what we wanted and needed. Now with a toddler in tow who needed surgery and medical bills piling up, I knew we needed to find other ways to make or save money.
A friend and fellow adoptive mother introduced me to the world of couponing. I started reading other frugal blogs. I saw how some were playing the drugstores games (like working CVS Extra Care Bucks) and how some were listing items they could get free at many local stores by using coupons. I was introduced to internet printable coupons, survey sites, points programs and I was thrilled. I could do this stuff, while being at home and with a 2-3 hour nap time (I know – I was lucky) I could read deals and learn to come up with my own!
I posted my first frugal adventure into CVS on my family/adoption blog here as part of another post, but because I was so proud of myself I had to get it posted somewhere. I came out of CVS with way more than the one bottle of conditioner I had to buy, for less than the actual price of the bottle itself! I couldn’t believe it when the cashier gave me my total.
The rest is history.
I started this blog, started shopping with coupons, requesting free samples of products, and saving money. Since then I don’t think I’ve once actually paid out of pocket for a tube of toothpaste, razors, shampoo, conditioner, etc.
While I tend to stick to only a few stores, CVS, Kroger, and Target mainly, I’ve found that just by matching coupons with sales, stacking coupons (where allowed) and making smaller shopping trips, has saved us a ton. I've completely cut out our toiletries budget!
I make most of my trips quick by laying out my deal and coupons ahead of time and only going in after those items. My husband supports me a great deal and can never believe the deals I come home with. In fact, every Sunday he lets me venture out on my own to shop CVS by myself. He knows even though I have the deal laid out, that sometimes it takes me a bit longer than necessary ;) especially since I love listening to books on CD in the car!
The most valuable lesson I have learned is that coupons ARE cash. Isn’t it fun to watch your total tick down?! I always ask the cashier, if the screen doesn’t show it, to subtotal the items so I can watch the coupons at work. When it’s done I think about how much extra cash I would have to pull out of my pocket to pay for the items had I not used the coupons. They really do work like cash!
Remember to start small (if you are new to the couponing world) and even keep it small (I still generally do one transaction deals and only shop a few stores). You don't have to buy multiple Sunday newspapers, travel a hundred miles to a store you don't have near you, or go out and get every single deal.
Do what you can, in the time you have and never let couponing take away from your family! Have fun and remeber you can share your deals with me or let me know of a good deal by leaving a comment or emailing me with the link on the right side of the screen.
