Read It First - New Book

Enter here for a chance to win this book!

Preview:
It is the last decade of the 19th century. The Wild West has been tamed and its fierce, independent and often violent larger-than-life figures—gun-toting wanderers, trappers, prospectors, Indian fighters, cowboys, and lawmen—are now victims of their own success. They are heroes who've outlived their usefulness. But then gold is discovered in Alaska and the adjacent Canadian Klondike and a new frontier suddenly looms.

Saturday Success

Here are the stats from last Saturday's shopping trip:

3 Transactions - Double Double Daze (10 coupons doubled/transaction)
Total Value of all 3 transactions: $127.76
Total Out of Pocket: $28.98
Total Savings: $98.78
Savings Value: 77%

Not picture - 6 cards (3 birthday, 3 Easter), and there are actually 2 bags of Dole Frozen peaches, but one slipped down behind the bag in front, so you can't see it.

Swagbucks

I started using Swagbucks as my search engine, mainly as an experiment.  I'm curious how many points I can accumulate before our Disney vacation, which will hopefully be in 2 more years.  For those of you not familiar with Swagbucks, it's a search engine site that awards "bucks" at random on the searches you perform.  You can also earn "bucks" by answering the daily poll, or watching videos (around 2 - 3 minutes - you have to watch 10 to be able to bank the "bucks" but you can spread that out over time or do it multiple times a day), playing games, and several other options available on their site.

To make my "bucks" add up quicker, I came across a SwagCodes site that shares active codes.

For those of you who do SwagBucks, save this site to your favorites if you haven't already.  For those of you who have begun yet, I encourage you to sign up, and set a challenge for yourself.  It may be worth it to earn "bucks" to cash in for gift cards at Christmas time.
