If you’re a member of Toluna too, check your email for a new $10 survey today.

And there’s MORE!

There is a second part that goes along with the survey, and I’ll get the other half tomorrow, where I can earn another $10! Sweet, right? That’s $20 for about a half hours worth of time. Love it.

{HURRY!} Synovate is OPEN Again- Limited Time!

My FAVORITE Survey Site is taking new members again!

You’ve heard me talk about Synovate before, and I’m sure you’ve heard other bloggers talk about it too… It really is the best survey site I’ve ever used.

This is why I love them:

Surveys are targeted well; meaning that you will qualify for almost every survey that you get. It’s so frustrating to get 10 surveys a week from some sites, and have 9 of them tell you “Sorry, you don’t qualify”, after you’ve take time to start them. This rarely happens with Synovate.
You earn CASH rewards, and you earn them quickly. Once you’ve earned enough to request a check, the check comes really quickly too. Love that.
You get LOADS of free product testing opportunities. Especially if you have kids… It seems like there are a TON of great ones for moms with little ones.

Some of the products that I’ve tested lately:

A 24 Pack of Diapers.
A Volumizing Shampoo.
A set of three new {and super cool, actually} wall plug-in air fresheners.
A new Kids Snack Food.
And more!

So… What are you waiting for, right? Get started by signing up at Synovate right now, before they close enrollment again. It could be later today, or it could stay open for a week. But why wait to start earning free cash rewards for giving your opinion about free products?? Let me know if you get in!

No Health Insurance?

If you’re like me, and are without health insurance, here are some great resources, coupons, freebies, and more. I hope that some of you guys can find some money-saving help here!

Or, if you have a family member or friend who can use this help, pass it on, or sign them up. Medical costs are so hard to afford these days, every little bit of savings counts.

Free Resources:

Get this Free Prescription Discount Card to get savings of up to 75% on needed med’s. Click Here to sign up. All you do is enter your basic info, and then print off a form. Bring that form to your pharmacy, and they’ll keep it on file. The next time you needs med’s, you’ll get the discounts if it’s on the list. Very simple, and can be really helpful.

You can also sign up for this Free Pharmacy Card too. With both, you should be able to find just about any medicine that you need on one of their lists. We don’t use these a lot, but when I’ve needed prescriptions, these help us out so much! This one works just the same as the above.

Get a FREE sample of Prilosec. If you suffer from heartburn, you know how darn expensive it is to buy Prilosec! I watch for new free sample links, and request them as often as possible, to stock up for my boyfriend.

No health insurance? Taking prescription drugs? Print a free prescription coupon and save up to 75% on your next trip to the pharmacy. Click Here, type in the med you take, and it’ll show you if there is a coupon to print. Easy peasy savings.

This is a really amazing opportunity if you live in an area that qualifies. {Unfortunately, we don’t. Which is a huge bummer, since I have horrible allergies, and could really use some help, but can’t afford my seasonal doctor appt’s anymore.} Check it out, see if you qualify, and get your appointments and med’s free, plus get paid for participating!

Get two different Bausch & Lomb freebies. Print a certificate for the new PureVision2 HD products here: Printable Coupon, or get the Soft Lens product free here: Printable Freebie.

Free book and supplies to help you treat and manage your arthritis pain. Get it free for joining their online support community.

Free COPD assessment, and if you qualify you’ll get access to free samples, information, and more. All you do is answer a few questions, about 6 or 7, and it’ll give you a quick score to let you know your risk.

See if Lasik is right for you with this Free 30 second Lasik evaluation. Discount information available if you qualify. Click Here to see if you qualify for this.

If you suffer from acne or other skin problems, and can’t afford a dermatologist, try out Proactiv. This is a great time, since there are some valuable freebies you can access.

I hope this helps some of you!

Is anyone else reading this without health insurance too? It’s such a scary feeling… And it’s only the second time in my whole life I’ve gone without it! We try to eat healthy, exercise, and take vitamins… While stocking up on any medical freebies or coupons that I can get. Do you have any tips for saving on medical expenses? I’d love to hear them in the comments….
