Using Swagbucks to buy Christmas Gifts

Now that we are truly in the holiday season - today being Thanksgiving - Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I wanted to mention Swagbucks as a way to keep our holiday spending low and maybe yours as well.

Each time you search with Swagbucks you have the opportunity to earn the bucks which you can then trade in for giftcards. My personal favorite gift card to earn is the Amazon.com $5.00 gift card. You can load it right into your Amazon acocunt and then save it for later or use it right away. I just keep earning them and loading them and then I use then for a bigger purchase.

You can sign up here, or you can use the banner on the sidebar! Happy Searching and Earning!

It really is that easy and it really does work!

I purchased several gifts for Christmas this way already!

FREE PHOTOBOOK!!!! Act Fast!

The Bonnie Hunt Show is giving away 25,000 Free Personalized Cover 8.5 by 11 Photoworks photo books. The kicker is you have to make the book and then when you check out, apply the coupon code BONNIE to see if you are one of the first 25,000. I just did mine and it worked great. I've heard sometimes it takes a couple of trys but being that I did mine later at night, it worked great!!

You have to choose the photo book #3157086 (you can search products for this number). I made one in about an hour and plan to give it to my husband's grandmother for Christmas. Shipping is also free. The book itself normally costs $39.95 and the shipping would have been $8.99 but the coupon code wiped it all clean!

Hooray for a frugal Christmas that looks expensive!

Hurry before the 25,000 are gone!
