Swagbucks...

Swagbucks is a search engine similar to Google and is a great way to earn prizes or gift cards.  You just go to the banner on the right side on my blog that says "Search Earn Redeem" and register.  Today is a great day to start because they are celebrating their 3rd birthday with TONS of free swagcodes. Just for registering, you get a total of 80 Swag bucks!! When registering, use code: 3rdBirthday130 to get the extra... :)  Also, there are codes floating around on their Facebook page.  They will release hints every now and then for the next code. It may be found on their blog. I suggest downloading the toolbar and using it as your regular search engine because you could always casually win swag bucks. Also, check out the "earn" tab, and the daily polls section. You can earn 1 swag buck by answering their question of the day.  And, the trusted survey's tab under earn.  Just for visiting you can win 1 swag buck. Also check out the NOSO tab.  Just keep hitting Skip or See next offer and at the end you will win another swag buck.  Any questions? Let me know!

A few details about the Giveaway!

So, I've never done this before, obviously :) . I am still deciding on what to put into the giveaway.  I have a bunch off samples I could include, some coupons, free/cheap products I have received. I also have the Downy Sleep shirt that I received a few days ago that I'd like to put in. What do you guys think? What would you like to see in the giveaway? It's going to be something light because I am not quite sure how this is going to pan out. But I can guarantee that if you all are interested and this goes as planned, there will be more :)

In order for the Giveaway to go live, I need to reach 75 fans. That's it! Just 75.  So, your part in all of this is just to suggest me to some of your friends. We'd be there for sure if everyone just told 1 friend. :)

Again, this giveaway is all up to you. I need your feedback in what you want to see being offered and I need your help in reaching the 75 fans. Thanks :)

Just leave a comment here, under this blog, or on my Facebook page: Coupon Chick, and let me know!

Steps for creating your grocery list

Are any of you having trouble putting together your grocery lists? I have supplied MY method for doing just that. Here we go...

Step 1:  I first go through the ads, just somewhat browsing and remembering which coupons I have. This step is just to decide which store(s) I want to go to that week.

Step 2: Get out your coupon organizer, a pen, and your notebook ((You should have both the organizer and the notebook by now! ))

Step 3: Get out the ad for the grocery store you've decided to go to.

Step 4: Go through page by page and write down things you need and the things you have coupons for. Make sure you get out your coupons so you're organized when you go to the store.  Also, make sure you write on your list that you have a coupon for this item, and if there is a certain amount required to use the coupon, you may want to write that as well.

Step5: Once you have went through the complete ad and sorted your coupons, visit the Meijer Meal Box and MPerks websites to see which coupons are available for you to stack.  If you are not going to Meijer, then go to the Kroger website and see which coupons you have loaded to your card.  This is when you would also visit Cellfire to see if there are coupons available to load.  Then, write on your list that you have MPerks coupons or Kroger coupons, and the quantity you need in order to use those.  REMEMBER: you do not need to combine these quantities with ones you already have. These coupons can be stacked.  For example, Kroger has General Mills cereal on sale for $2.49 a box. I have a coupon for $1/2...so I have to buy 2 boxes, which would make this only $2.98 for 2 boxes of cereal. But then, Kroger has another General Mills cereal coupon available to load for another $1/2. I still only need to buy 2 boxes, not 4. Does that make sense?? I hope so.  BUT, if not, ASK!! I want to know where everyone is at. So anyway, onto step 6..

Step 6: After you have went through the stores coupon sites, visit the printable coupon sites; redplum.com, smartsource.com, and coupons.com.  Look for items that are already on your list, or that you have seen on sale and know that it would make for a good price.  Add these items to your list, or change your quantities..whatever you have to do.

By the way, I've had a fan have a problem with the loadable coupons. So, I would suggest you printing a list of the coupons that are loaded to your Kroger card, or you MPerks account. This is just for proof in case it doesn't show up on your receipt. Take this list up to the service desk, and they should refund you the amount.

Repeat these steps if you are going to 2, 3..10 different stores. I know this may seem overwhelming, but this is how I save the most money possible. I've said before that this process is very time consuming, but it's well worth it.  Try it out and you can decide if all the steps are useful for you! 

Again, ANY questions, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask!
