Win a Free Purse from Olive Juice Bags

Did you know that I love purses? LOVE them. I was addicted to the Purse Forum a couple of years ago but was able to get some great deals.

Now my tastes run more to handmade goodness...and what could be better than a free purse?!?

And Olive Juice Bags is announcing an amazing Free Bag Giveaway for one of their incredible U.S. designed and created goodies. My favorite one (and it is HARD to choose) so far is this one.


Olive Juice Bags is a manufacturer of funky affordable fabric bags, Made in the USA. Olive Juice Bags is holding a Bag-of-the-Month giveaway and you can help spread the word. Olive Juice Bags are eco-friendly because the company has found a way to utilize overrun fabric and keep it out from being thrown away. Repurposing the fabric into a functional and fashionable product means less waste in the landfills. Because of this, many of the bags are unique: five-of-a kind, two-of-a kind or even one-of-a kind.

If you see an Olive Juice Bag you like, snag it quickly because you may not see the same bag ever again. Olive Juice Bags is also a socially conscious company that supports real-wage jobs. Local families benefit from jobs provided by companies that manufacture in the US-- and Olive Juice Bags is one of them.

This contest is easy to enter...just blog about the Olive Juice Bags monthly Bag Giveaway and send them the link. That's it. You'll be entered. You could conceivably blog about their contest every single day and earn an entry every day...but that might make your blog boring. ha!

I plan to blog and remind all of you about their contest at least once a month. So, visit the rules of their contest HERE and get blogging!

Oh and if you win...I won't make you feel guilty about not sharing your purse with me. *grin*

Saving More is Fun - Using Multiple Coupons

I love saving money on groceries. I have changed my grocery spending habits so much in the last 8-9 months it's amazing. Trips are much more planned out before I go to the store. Planning is a big piece, which is great since I love planning things.

A lot of people think that coupons aren't worth it ... you just save a few dollars and it's too much work, yada yada yada. But in reality, it doesn't take *that* much extra planning to save a lot on your grocery bill. I'm going to be losing a lot of my spare time in about 8 months but I don't want to stop saving money on our groceries. Especially since we'll need all the extra money we can get with our new little expense.

HotCouponWorld makes it extremely easy to hop online and see where you can save the most on your bill. Their coupon database has grown leaps and bounds in the last couple of months. All you have to do is type in the product you're looking for to see if it's there. It's a really great resource for me because I can rarely remember where coupons are...especially the online printable ones.

Most of the online printable coupons can be printed more than once, allowing you to benefit from using multiple coupons.

Other benefits:
  • mutiplies the savings for items you buy
  • lets you build a stockpile
  • lets you maximize store sales
  • keeps you from paying full price so that you can buy at the best possible price
And did you know that Target has printable coupons? (I love Target!) I had no idea until I joined HotCouponWorld. And the best thing is they don't put a limit on the number you can print (though I recommend just a few at a time). HCW keeps the Target coupons organized in one spot for easy printing. Even better, the Target coupons are store coupons...which means you can use manufacturer's coupons WITH them.

Looking for some V8 Juice? Target has a $0.50 off one coupon and then there $1 off of two coupons in the 1/18 Smart Source insert. (by the way ... don't throw your inserts out ... I buy at least one paper, usually more, and store my inserts by date so I can cut out the coupon I need later).

So, instead of *just* saving $0.50 with the Target coupon, or just $1 off of two with the manufacturer coupon...combine them and save $2 on two bottles of juice. Do this when they are on sale and you can really save a bundle. $2 isn't chump change...that's almost a gallon of gas (our gas is now over $2/gallon again).

By combining store and manufacturer coupons with sale items I've gotten lots of free items, as well as made money on products!


Oh, and did I mention that HotCouponWorld even has people who scan the ads of places like Target, and then people post all the deals they find!?! I occassionally find deals and post them, but most of the time I don't spot what the experts find. It's wonderful to be able to see what the best deals really are. Check out this week's Target ad deal discussion.

I'm rambling I think ... but hopefully you get my point. HCW has so many helpful things for you to use to save money - they even have a special page of resources.

I hope you can save money with coupons like me. ;)

Survey Sites That Pay

I love surveys...as you may have figured out with all my DNeero surveys I post here. I just feel the need to give people my opinion...whether they want it or not. Which may explain this blog. =) But getting PAID to give my opinion? Well, that is just cream cheese frosting on my chocolate fudge cake.

It can be difficult to confirm which survey sites are legitimate and which are nothing but spam and address collecting scams. HotCouponWorld has gone and done a wonderful thing for all of us survey lovers by reviewing and posting 19 different legitimate survey programs that are legitimate, pay out as promised, have little to no spam, and are a good way to earn a little extra cash.

And just as a note...I did just get a $20+ payment from DNeero into my Paypal account. *Happy Dance* (Yes, it took me over 6 months ... but it was painless "work" for $20) So I know for a fact that these sites can and do generate some cash or pay out (I've also gotten free shampoo from another survey site in the past).

One suggestion...if you do sign up for survey programs, create a special e-mail address just for taking the surveys. This can help you keep track of your survey opportunities separately from your regular mail.

Happy Survey-ing.

Valentine's Day HotCouponWorld Wishlist Contest

Have I mentioned how much I love Hot Coupon World? I've been a member there now for over six months ... maybe even 8, I can't remember when I first signed up. I've saved hundreds of dollars, learned a ton about using coupons effectively, and made new virtual friends. I'm hoping they'll help me save money on baby things soon.

A new initiative that they are trying out is having bloggers post about upcoming events, announcements, and other things noteworthy for the site. I want you to know up front that they are offering small payments for each blog post written, but that I would never write about something unless I truly supported it (or wanted to mock it ... but that won't be the case here).

So...without anymore rambling...the very first post for HCW...

HOTCOUPONWORLD VALENTINE WISHLIST CONTEST

Five lucky winners will get a great gift of their choice, up to $50.

How do you enter?

Super easy ... first, you have to register for HotCouponWorld (unless you're already a member like me).

Second...go to the contest link in the forum and follow the instructions for finding and listing the items you would want if you won.

Third ... oh wait ... that's it. You're done!

Well, there is the fine print ---- Post must be made by February 13th at 12 midnight Pacific Time.


And because HCW just rocks - the item can be $50 and you don't have to worry about shipping because they will cover that too. So it can be $50 with shipping of $12 and you're golden.

So what would I pick as my item to win? Oh gosh, there's just so much! But since I'm already itching to buy baby stuff... *grin* ... I'd have these as my items to pick from.



Oooooo...I want this NOW.



My baby will be brand new for Halloween and I will insist on dressing them up ... I love elephants.



So go enter. =) Have fun!
