What is SwagBucks?

SwagBucks is a super fun way to earn free stuff. Seriously, it is one of the EASIEST ways I’ve ever found to earn freebies – use the toolbar to search instead of using Google or Yahoo, and you randomly earn “SwagBucks” for your searches. That’s just about the only thing I do, and I earn enough points for at least one new $5 Amazon Gift Card every single week. I earn that totally free for searches I’d be doing anyway!!

You can really boost your points and get free stuff quicker by doing surveys, games, shopping, and more – there are loads of ways to earn!

Sign Up Today and Get a BONUS!!

Use the sign up code BIGTIMEBUCKS – it’s worth and additional 70 Swag Bucks!! – meaning that you’ll get to start your account with 100 points instead of the usual 30. It only takes 450 points for your first Amazon Gift Card! So this is a HUGE reason to finally get started if you haven’t already!

Use Code BIGTIMEBUCKS when you sign up for Swagbucks today for BONUS points!!

Stay tuned on Monday for the Swag Bucks Extravaganza — I’ll share more tips when it starts! Feel free to use the share buttons to post this to your own Facebook and Twitter, to pass the bonus code onto your friends too!

OhmyHECK – Remember Popoids Toys?

I LOVED these when I was a kid!

I remember getting these in my Happy Meal at McDonalds, and being SO super excited to bring them home to add to my collection.

We were really poor when I was a little girl… Like, one year we were the family that the church chose to sponsor kind of poor… And going to McDonalds was a big luxury anyway. When the trip rewarded me with not only my beloved Chicken Nuggets and Hi-C Orange drink, a crawl through the Big Mac Maze, and a quick hide-out in the Hamburgler Jailhouse- when I got not just any toy, but my FAVORITE Popoids toys- I was as excited as a kid all jacked up on sugary soda can get!!!

Haven’t seen ’em in years!

I wouldn’t have believed that they even made these anymore, until I saw that they’re available today on Totsy!! And, not only can I actually buy them, but they’re also HALF OFF!!! The sale only lasts for a couple days, and some sets were sold out already, but I got one. My inner child has a very happy heart tonight…

How to get them-

Head over to Totsy, and register really quick for an account if you haven’t already. {It only takes a sec, and they won’t spam ya, just one email per day with the newest sales, promise.} Then, on the main screen, just click on the big graphic with the BUILDING TOY EVENT on it, and get to shoppin’!!

If for some sad reason you miss out on this, {it’s a very limited time sale} I also found them on Amazon – Popoids 140-Piece Construction Set In Bucket – but they’re double the price! So, if you remember these, and are as excited as I am to know that they still exist, and are also excited to fight the kids for the chance to build with them {lol, but only kind of…} then jump on this deal at Totsy today!

These are the Swagbucks that I’ve earned!

Notice how it says on the bottom, “Page 1 of 96”?? Yep, that’s how many points I’ve earned. Every 450 points earns me another FREE $5 Amazon gift card!! I earn $100’s in cards each year, which is an amazing help for my family, and is what I use to buy diapers for the baby- FREE. Awesome, right? And going into the holidays, it’s a great way to do your shopping for free. {Get 15 more ways to shop online for free here too.}

How do you earn points?

  • Add their toolbar. This is super easy, I promise. I’m not a skilled technology person, but this was simple to do. Then, use the toolbar for your regular searches, and you randomly get points added to your account. Seriously, what could be easier?
  • To boost your points, you can do more activities: The surveys can earn you 50-150 points each, which can add up SUPER fast!! There are tons of other ways to earn- daily polls, games, offers, etc.
  • Refer your friends. You can connect your Swagbucks to your Facebook account, and it will automatically share on your wall when you get new points, so that you’re friends want to check it out too! Then, when they earn points, so do you!! {I only have 4 referrals, but even that small amount gives me a big boost!}
  • Watch for SwagCodes while searching, or that other bloggers post. Then enter them in your account for MORE bonus points!!
  • Tons more ways to earn too: Coupons, Shopping, Daily Deals, Games, Videos, and loads more!

Tons of Rewards Available:

There are literally thousands of different rewards to choose from: gift cards, donations, products, sweepstakes entries, and more.

 I redeem almost all of my points for Amazon.com Gift Cards, since that’s where I do all of my baby shopping. Every time you get a new gift card, you can add the code to your Amazon account, and let them add up until you’re ready to use ’em. Love it. Plus, since some of my favorite survey sites reward with Amazon gift cards too, I can get most of what I buy there for free each month.

Other great rewards available:

  • Gift Cards from sites like Cookies Kids, Gourmet Gift Baskets, EcoMom, Frecklebox, and Restaurant.com.
  • You can use small amounts of points to make donations to charities like Lupus Foundation of America.
  • You can get FREE products, from games and toys to magazines and home decor.
  • Your points can be used to enter Swagstakes giveaways too! You use the points as entries, and there are so many giveaways to win!

Swagbucks ROCKS my SOCKS!

I recommend this site to everyone, and it’s hard to understand why you wouldn’t want to use it! Even if all you do is add the toolbar, you’ll earn points with NO effort at all. It’ll take you longer to earn rewards, but heck, they’ll be free when you do earn ’em, so why not??

If you’re using Swagbucks too, leave a comment to tell me your best tip, or favorite feature of the site!!

Learnvest is one of my favorite sites… They send you one email each day, with new tips on how to live a frugal lifestyle. What sets Learnvest apart, and makes it so cool, is that the tips they send out are always really fun and trendy.
