swagbucks really works to stock the pantry!

Went to CVS with my egift cards (5 for $10 each from swagging) and my rainchecks and coupons....

http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/misspillow (join in the savings!)

5 dak canned hams
6 can diced tomato
6 can french green beans
2 jars jif PB
2 jars of smuckers preserves
8 cans of progresso soup
2 4# domino sugar
1 pkg of gum

I had $12 ECB and used 2 of my e gifts and paid $5 OOP....and 3 ECBs back!

i have a $10 cvs egift from savemore.com for $5(first timer promo) and an Amazon gift card from savingstar.com(ecoupons loaded to your loyalty cards) for $5

sign up for savingstar thru swagbucks to get points...

The bakery outlet(near to CVS) loaded a cart for me to....DEVIL DOGS! and expensive buns and onion rolls ($8) people and pig food!

so last month I ended with $50 for CVS and got the $10 Kmart last day of month(on sale)...my kids and husband made $50 at amazon

Cheese seems to be my big grocery expense so I'm going to buy at Kmart. Yes we have goats but cheese making is time consuming so its not something I do much of (cream cheese, yogurt and mozz occassionally)...and I'm down to once a day milking as the ladies have buns in the oven now!

Here's a link I'm using to help things along at swagbucks:

Pretty good deals. We've been doing it during slow points of the day.

Way to go Mpillow!! That is totally awesome!!! I was just pricing out toiletries on Amazon yesterday for when my income is drastically cut in a few months but I am thinking that maybe CVS gifts cards will be a better deal for toiletries though!

manygoatsnmore · #4 12/03/11, 08:37 AM

Mpillow, you ROCK! I'm loving my swagbuck earnings at Amazon, but don't have a CVS to get those great deals like you are getting. I'll have to stick with getting my Spam with Bacon at Amazon, lol.

No CVS around here either. I use my swagbuck gift cards to buy books Amazon.com - just bought all three of Chuck's Task Force Valor series with them. Never thought to buy groceries there are always too many books on my wishlist.

mpillow · #6 12/03/11, 12:27 PM

CVS is def. the place to go for cheap...darn cheap toiletries....I buy herbal essence and Pantene shampoo under $1 a bottle after promo in ad and coupons....same with TP, toothpaste, toothpaste (toothpaste and toothbrushes are usually free or pennies w/ promo and Q) not only cheap but now free with swagbucks!

Last month I bought 60# flour (GM all purpose for 1.67 per 5# on promo) at CVS...sugar oil...lots of groceries to be had at good price too. Cereal is a big thing at CVS too

I wish swagbucks would do rite aid cards too...

mpillow · #7 12/03/11, 01:05 PM

Just a thought both rite aid and cvs have online storefronts...both offer free shipping at $50 usually and CVS has a lot of online shopping promotions (2-3 emails a week) often $10 off $50 with free shipping or 20% off store wide....and the gift cards from swags can be used online too I think!

Kmart gift cards are valid at sears and landsend as well...so quite flexible. landsend online has a discount section for irr. and overstocks...I've used them a few times, good deals on decent quality gear.

morninglory · #8 12/03/11, 06:24 PM

someone please explain to me how and where you get these swagbucks. I dont think we have them here in the woods I live in.

rancher1913 · #9 12/03/11, 06:31 PM

I'm with morning glory - I kinda know a very little about swagbucks, but need someone who remembers Rubik's cubes (the first time they came out) to explain it to me.

Click on a Swagbucks link to get started! It is all on the internet.

How to earn swagbucks (SB):
2 SB for clicking through NOSO
1 SB for Daily Poll
5 SB for being DQ'd from surveys (25-250 SB if you qualify and get through EACH survey!)
1 SB for using the toolbar
75 SB + a Bonus 75 SB until the New Year for swagtv...3 SB for every 10 videos.
100 SB for Android phone/tablet users for swagtv
30 or more a day from search wins. Generally 3-4 search wins a day worth 7-50 SB each.
Special offers: 2- the skies the limit! LOL! The more you do the more SB you earn...some do not credit so check the Offers that credit on FB and other sites.
1-2 SB each for commercial videos
1-2 SB each for Ad rewards...watch commercial and then input sliding numbers for credit.
10 or more SB from Tasks. I have not done any so I am not much help on this.
SB's can also be earned by playing SB Trivia Challenge on FB.
10 SB for every coupon you redeem.
10 SB for games, 2 SB for playing 2 games up to 10 SB a day.

4-sometimes as high as 20 SB for Swagcodes. They can be found almost anywhere on the Swagbucks site...twitter, blog, facebook, homepage, swagstore ect. SB generally announces when there will be a big swag code day...a day when they put out several codes in one day.
Following Swagbucks on FB is one of the best ways to be alerted to codes because people will start posting 'thank you for the code.' So if you see that then go searching! (Reminder that cheat sites and active codes are not to be posted in a public forum or it can get your swag account banned.)

450 SB= $5 AGC or 700 SB= $5 Paypal Check out the Swagstore for many more options!

Swag bucks are a great deal, but don't forget to join MyPoints also. I trade mine for Amazon or store gift cards every couple of months.

https://www.mypoints.com/emp/u/ma/nm...r=GO4042166908

That is the main link. They do have a referral program but it is complicated, new person has to buy quite a bit from mypoints merchants so I just don't bother with it. Whenever I shop online, I use the MyPoints portal.

For example, when they had that great sale on canning jars at Kmart, I used the MyPoints portal to enter Kmart, entered my "Shop Your Way Rewards" number from Kmart and Sears, and at checkout I used a Kmart gift card I received from "My Coke Rewards." I did not think all the points would go through but they did.
ETA: I would have also used the cash on the "Shop Your Way" rewards account but lost my darn PIN and did not have time to get it reset the jars were going so fast, or otherwise I would have gotten an even better deal.

I also earn a lot of MyPoints from clicking on the links in the emails they send (that you sign up for) and joining some clubs they will offer in the emails (which I usually unjoin a few months later).

Also, please feel free to join us under the Work-At-Home forum: Swagbucks for Amazon gift cards or extra money
Where we have an ongoing discussion where we share our wins and answer any questions!

I wanted to add that I have earned all of my AGC (Amazon Gift Cards) without signing up for any clubs, putting my email in for any special offers, and I do not put my phone number or address in on any of the offers either. Several others do and they are able to make more than me but I do not put any of my personal info in except for sign up with Swagbucks.

squeak · #13 12/03/11, 08:12 PM

I just redeemed my first swagbucks! $5 Amazon.ca gift card. YAY!!

mpillow · #14 12/03/11, 09:32 PM

I just unlocked my peanuts surveys tonight (20 Questions to unlock) and got 2 60point (10 min each) surveys there! (look under special offers, then the peanuts tab)

and 2 new referrals! Thank you to those folks and have fun! I did 200 points in an hour at the library tonight!

mpillow · #15 12/03/11, 09:34 PM

to give some quick perspective $5 at amazon is 450 swagbucks....$10 at CVS is 1249 points....but there are bunches of choices for gift cards including lowes and home depot if I'm not mistaken

to add....at home I have dial up at 28800 to 45k usually 28800 and my pc is running windows 98 its 13 years old!, my flash is wonky but I still can do swagtv (I don't see anything but the meter moves) and search and surveys and some offers (free ones)...my library is 1/2 mile away and we go 1-2 times a day to use wifi or we take laptops in town with us and most hotels and McDonalds and libraries are hotspots for free wifi

mpillow · #16 12/03/11, 10:39 PM

Easy offers to do:

click special offers (left hand side of screen or under the Earn button at top left)
under paymentwall (at the end of noso too) 24 hour fitness (google zipcode for 24 hour fitness in NYC) (41 swagbucks)

also under paymentwall "reward TV" (answers don't have to be correct) 38 swagbucks

under the peanut tab "Turn yourself into santa" 41 swagbucks
