08.21.2010 Mail, Swagbucks, Amazon, and Such

Amazon.com gave me a $5 credit for having ordered any magazine from them this year.  I think I ordered All You (the coupon mag) for almost nothing through them.

YouData deposited $0.19 in my PayPal account.  I love the concept of YouData -- just wish there were more opportunities.  In their defense, I forget to go to the site...

Swagbucks issued us another $5.00 Amazon Gift Card.

I don't feel like pulling our grocery receipits out but I haven't been hard core couponing this month.  I'm just going to put in $10.00 for the month.

And our mail haul:


Free Cover Girl Queen Collection Bronzer $6.50,  Rachel Ray dog food, Better than Ears dog chews, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, reusable shopping bag from NCP $0.99, samples of Nexus shampoo and conditioners, 3 notecards from Shutterfly.com $6.00, Origins eye cream, Silly Bandz (for party gift bags?) we got 100 for five dollars excellent deal, Glade Scented Oil Candle and tin $4.00.

Surveyhead, FREE Stuff and Walmart 06.05.2010

Our Walmart run last week gave us $39.50 in coupon savings.  Joe was so proud.  It was really fun.

Surveyhead deposited $20 into my paypal account for taking small surveys.  I normally take them while watching television or holding a sleepy baby.  I believe they will credit your account $5 for signing up now.

In free stuff this week, we did really well.  L'Oreal Kids Conditioner and Teething Biscuits from Medco.com ($10), Secret Clinical Deodorant, Kellog Meal Bar, Gillette Proglide ($10), Tampax, and eb5 lotion.
