I Recommend…

Every once and a while I take some time to tell my bloggy friends about some sites they might be interested in. These sites are never “sponsors” or scams…they are truly sites/organizations that I participate in and hope you will too.

1. Swagbucks. I post about it all of the time on facebook but if you haven’t joined Swagbucks yet then you’re really missing out on some free stuff! It’s a pretty simple concept with a pretty complex system. The basics is that you have all different ways to earn “bucks” (points). Then you trade these bucks in for prizes or gift cards (to date I’ve earned $50 in Amazon Gift Cards). There are daily tasks you can do to earn points (answer a daily poll, read a few ads, do a search using their search engine, play games), there are random ways to earn points (doing surveys, watching video clips, going to sponsor sites) and then there are special time-sensitive ways to earn points (special codes given out on FB and twitter, contests, collecting special bills on holidays etc). What you put in is what you get. You can spend minutes/day or week on it or you can spend hours on it. You also earn major points for referring someone (every time they collect points doing a search so do you!). Anyway, it’s really a fun and cool site. I enjoy it and so do a few of my friends. Consider it!

2. Recyclebank. Another program where you collect points and trade them in for prizes/coupons/discounts. This site promotes recycling, living a “green” lifestyle and ways to help preserve the environment. It’s a quick, fun way to learn and earn

3. Expired Coupons for Overseas Military. Have you ever looked at a coupon and realized it expired before you got to use it? Personally, I hate when this happens – but I hate even more that I just have to throw it out. Well, no longer! Did you know that military families overseas can use coupons that have been expired for up to 6 months? I’m so excited to finally put my expired coupons to good use! This group is in the states so for the cost of an envelope and postage stamp you can mail them your coupons and they’ll send them to military families who could really use them! You also have the option of “adopting” a family overseas and mailing them the coupons directly. It’s such a cool idea and I highly recommend everyone that “does couponing” consider participating in this program or one similar. Every little bit helps.

4. And of course I have to recommend deeflash for new music to add to your collection Sure I’m biased because he’s my husband but if you haven’t checked out his music yet please do so!
