Earn free stuff just for searching the internet!!

I have not talked about swagbucks in a while but wanted to remind you about the free stuff you can get just by searching the internet! Click on the banner above to sign up today!

Here's how it works:

First you must create a free account with swagbucks and log in. You can search the internet at www. swagbucks.com or by downloading the toolbar (which I personally love) and using their toolbar to search. The results that you get for your searches are from Google and Ask.com and I have always had good results in my searches. As you search, you periodically receive "swagbucks". You can than redeem these swagbucks for swagbucks.com products and gift cards.

My favorite thing to redeem for is Amazon gift cards - 45 swagbucks can be redeemed for a $5.00 Amazon gift card. I just recently purchased an MP3 player for my husband for his birthday and he is now able to download lots of MP3 files from Amazon for FREE using our swagbucks that we earned for FREE just for searching the internet. Another great thing is you can actually redeem swagbucks for CASH using paypal. 70 swagbucks can be redeemed for $5.00 in your paypal account.

So check it out today by clicking on the banner above and see what you can earn just for searching the internet

I'm back - unexpected blog vacation....

Sorry for the unexpected lapse in posting. My husband and I went out of town last weekend just for a few days and ended up not having free internet access at our hotel. Then we got back home, we jumped back into work, and had company, and then I had to try to catch up my deal shopping too, and I just didn't hardly have a spare minute! But no worries, I am back in full swing and excited to share some great deals with you this week.

$17 moneymaker at RiteAid this week!

I don't do much at RiteAid just because I don't have time to add another store to my shopping but I might have to get in on this great moneymaker this week.

Rite Aid has Schick razors on sale for $5.99 and also have a rebate deal (SCR offer #61) to get a $25.00 Rite Aid gift card when you buy $50.00 in selected products and the razors are included. Here's some scenarios:

Transaction #1
Buy 5 Schick Razors x $5.99 each = $29.95
- $5/25 Rite Aid coupon
- (5) $4.00/1 coupon from the 6/14 SS insert (- $20.00)
Final price : $4.95 plus tax out of pocket

Transaction #2
Buy 4 Schick Quattro Razors x $5.99 each = $23.96
Buy L’Oreal Pro Manicure Polish for $2.99
-$5/25 Rite Aid coupon
- (4) $4.00/1 Schick Coupons (- $16.00)
-$1.00/1 Loreal printable coupon
Final price: $4.95 plus tax out of pocket

So in summary, you would pay $9.90 plus tax out of pocket and get a $25 Rite Aid Gift Card for the Schick product and a $2.00 SCR check for the Loreal nailpolish for a $17.00 Moneymaker!!!

Thanks to Mercedes at Common Sense with Money for the heads up on this deal!

Sunday Sustenance

I heard this song for the first time this past week in the youth group that my husband and I work in and it was a blessing to me. I hope that it will be to you too.

All I Ever Want to Be
All I ever want to be is what you want of me, Lord; I give my life to you.
And all my hopes and dream and plans I place within Your hands, Lord,

And give my life to You.
Here am I , Lord, use me; take my life and mold me.
All I ever want to be is what You want of me, Lord; I give my life to You.
And all my hopes and dreams and plans I place within Your hands, Lord,

And give my life to You.

I was struck with the words – “All I ever want to be is what you want of me, Lord.” Is that the only thing that I want to be – only what God wants of me? Or do I have my own selfish, sinful desires of what I want to be? Do I honestly place all my hopes and dreams and plans in God's hand or do I try to make them happen and determine the way I want to go in life? After I learned the tune to this song, the words and tune just stayed in my mind all week, and they were such a conviction and encouragement to me to truly place my life and hopes and dreams and plans in God's hands and to strive to be and only be what He wants me to be each day.

How about you? How has the Lord been working in your life? I would love to hear about it. Leave a comment or email me.

Great coupon for a free Potrait pacakge from Picture People!

Go here to print a coupon for a free potrait package from the Picture People!! The package includes one 8x10, two 5x7s, and eight wallets! The coupon is good through July 25. From what I have seen in the past, the Picture People does great work - I love how their pictures look.

Just some suggestions - call ahead to your local Picture People to make sure that they will accept this coupon. Some stores might not accept this coupon if you are not a Potrait Club member, but some stores are taking it from anyone. Also, they will try to sell you a lot of other pictures and packages when you go so set your budget and stick to it.

Thanks, The Deal Scoop!
