Hello!

I have been trying for the last couple of years to construct a money saving blog. So far, I've only had failed attempts, but I hope to one day conquer the concept of blogging!

From time to time, expect to see some of my deal posts. Check back to see if I've posted anything you might be interested in!

Until then... here are a list of websites that I use to make and/or save money. These are referral links, so if you sign up under my name, we both might get a lil somethin'-somethin' out of it. ;) You can also check out my widgets to the left.

Swagbucks - Since I started my account a little over a year ago, I have earned $80 (and I'm eligible for another $5 right now) in PayPal cash (that could have translated into almost $125 in Amazon.com gift cards!). This is a search engine that allows you to collect points, or "Swagbucks" just for searching. You can then redeem your Swagbucks for great prizes, cash, or giftcards. You get 30 Swagbucks just for creating an account. You can earn Swagbucks by visiting any and all of the following categories: Search, Swagbucks TV, Special Offers, Trusted Surveys, Daily Deals, NOSO (No Obligation Special Offers), Coupons, Trade In, and Daily Polls. Plus, be on the look out for Swag Codes that will help you earn even more SBs!

ShopAtHome - This is an online deal site that provides coupon codes, printable coupon codes, free samples, and of course cash back! Earn up to 35% cash back on all purchases when you make them through ShopAtHome.com. If you sign up using my referral link, we both make $5 after your first purchase, no matter how big or small! Plus, be on the lookout for Extra Cash Back promotions, which happen quite often, especially around the different holidays throughout the year. Since I started my account in October 2009, I've accumulated over $168 and I've got a check waiting to come to me at the end of January for $26.39. Checks are mailed out once you accumulate a minimum of $20 in your account.

Ebates - Very similar to ShopAtHome, except that when you have the option of receiving a paper check, a PayPal deposit, or donating your earnings to charity. Also, you receive your funds after accumulating a minimum of $5.01 in your account. Be on the lookout for the Ebates Daily Double and opportunities for Double Cash Back to earn even more! I became a member in November of this year and so far, I have accumulated $28 in PayPal cash. Just like ShopAtHome, if you sign up under my referral link, we both make $5 after your first $25 or more purchase. Pssst! If I get 5 people to sign up under my link by December 30th, I get a $50 bonus!

Send Earnings - Earn cash for reading emails, completing cash offers, cash surveys, cash games, cash shopping, and cash tasks, and printing grocery coupons. By signing up under my referral link, you'll have $5 automatically in your account. I'll be honest... I don't really do anything but read e-mails an occasional cash offer, so it's taking me a lot longer to rack up funds. I'm currently at $27.73, so I'm almost to the $30 threshold that will allow me to receive my first check!

Viewpoints - A community forum that allows you to read and write reviews for just about anything. Please check out some of my reviews to help me get to the VIP Status. If you join, please don't forget to add me as a friend and/or become one of my fans.
