It's Mega Swagbuck Friday - Woo Hoo!

It's that day of the week again - Mega Swag Buck Friday, which means you have a better chance of getting larger Swagbucks amounts for your searches - so get searching!

New to Swagbucks? Go here to find out more and go here to sign up for your free account to start earning rewards!

I want to clarify something as I was chatting about Swagbucks recently with some people and there was some confusion. I actually don't have the toolbar installed on my computer for searching the internet and you don't have to do this to earn. I simply log into my account 2-3 times a day and do a few searches to earn my Swagbucks for the day. I spend less than 10 minutes a day doing my searches to earn my Swagbucks, you should be doing it too!

Restaurant.com gift certificates are 80% off AGAIN!

Restaurant.com is having another great sale 80% off all gift certificates using code SUMMER when checking out to score $25 gift certificates for as low as $2! Make sure to read the find print on each offer as each restaurant has different terms for redeeming these.

A little hint, I actually purchase generic restaurant.com gift certificates when this promotion is running if the restaurants I want are not available. They usually "restock" their inventory at the beginning of the month so when the new month starts, I go and exchange my restaurant.com gift certificate for the actual restaurant I want to use it at. You can purchase these generic gift certificates in the middle box on the first page.

Go here to check out the selection of restaurants that participate around you and to get in on this great deal.

This and using coupons from the Entertainment Book are the only way the family and I go out to eat anymore!

Did you know...

That if you are shopping at one of the Children's Place stores and they don't have the size you are looking for in stock, they will give you a free shipping code? You may have to ask for it, but it is a company wide offering that they do. What a great way to still get what you are looking for without having to pay for shipping!

What other stores do you know of that have a policy similar to this?
