Target Deals (Current Week)

I've been having good luck at Target lately. They are way nicer about coupons than Wal-Mart is anymore and since one of my New Year's Resolutions is to save more on groceries, I believe I'm going to be doing more regular shops there.




Check out what I got this week! While I paid 19.00 OOP, that alone was the price of the dog food!! So I basically got everything else FREE!

I purchased the following:

Purina One Dog Food, Used $2.00 off Target Coupon (came with free samples I previously posted

2 Swiss Miss Hot Chocolates, Used two $2.00/1 printables (no longer available), making both FREE, plus they let me have the overage (almost 2 free dollars!)

Managing Multiple Survey Sites

I've had several people ask me how I find time to do so many surveys and how I keep up with so many sites.

Here are some of the steps I take:

1. I use one email account for all survey sites. This is a separate account from my personal email so I don't have to deal with any junk mail coming into my personal account.

2. I check my survey email daily. Before I do anything else, I immediately delete any junk mail that has come in and save only survey invitations. This can eliminate more than half of my emails sometimes.

3. I organize my email. I made a folder for each survey site so I can quickly move any point verifications, redemption emails, etc. to the folder to keep track of my rewards.

4. I earn my computer time and I don't watch much TV. After my son goes to bed and I spend approximately 1/2 hour cleaning house, then I feel like I've earned the time to spend on the computer. I go to my survey email and simply start with the first email and go one by one, no matter which site the next invite came from.

5. When I'm done, if there is still time, I pick one survey site to actually go to their page and see if there are any other open opportunities on the site itself. Most of the time, you'll find that there are. Each night I pick a different site, so I can make the most of each site over the course of a week. I also take that time to check point levels and see if I can redeem for anything.

6. If I don't want to, I don't. If I don't feel up to surveys one night, then I simply don't do any. I might do step number 2, but otherwise I just start again the next day.

One other hint: When you join a survey site, be sure to take a few minutes to fill out your initial profile. This saves you time from not qualifying for surveys, as you'll get more tailored survey invitations, based on your profiles, sent to you.

You'd be surprised how an hour each evening can really help you rack up the points for rewards. Happy Surveying!

ZoomBucks - A Few Hints to Earn More Each Day!

I'm relatively new to Zoombucks, but I like it so far. It's similar to Swagbucks, but it seems like I win a bit more often. Each time you search, you have the opportunity to win Zoombucks. You can also complete surveys, offers, etc. for Zoombucks.

Each Zoombuck is worth 1 cent. I like having a monetary amount to pin on the buck. Once you have 2,000 points you can redeem for a $20.00 Amazon.com e-gift card. After your first redemption you can redeem once you have reached 1,000 points. I haven't actually redeemed anything yet, but it appears simple enough.

A few things I've picked up on to earn $0.06 a day is to click on ZDailyMain on the left sidebar every twenty-four hours. I always win 5 Zoombucks after typing in text from an advertisement. Also, once a day I click on GWallet on the same sidebar and pick up $0.01 for doing the same thing.

I can't wait to earn my first Amazon e-gift card from them!
