Money for nothing and chicks for free

by Jaded on August 30, 2010

Everyone knows there is no such thing as free money, right? Well, maybe we were a bit too hasty with that conclusion.

My friends, I have discovered a web search engine, through the persuasion of other friends, that actually gives away free money. Technically it is money in the form of online giftcards. But it is free!

I speak of Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a website that combines a search engine, certain special offers, code hunts, shop and earn and many other ways to earn.

You earn swagbucks, once you have accumulated “enough” you can trade them in for giftcards. It seems the best bargain is the Amazon.com giftcards. 450 swagbucks can be cashed in for a $5.00 gift card.

I started “swaggin’” in April of 2010, and just with casual searching and code hunts, I have earned over $100 in gift cards by August 2010. I don’t know about you, but an extra $100 worth of free money is money I can’t turn down!

When you sign up for Swagbucks, you should download the toolbar, it is just like the google tool bar, you can search from it, access the blog, see how many swagbucks you have etc. And you earn 1 swagbuck every day, just because you have it. There are many ways to earn swagbucks, I am just a casual “swaggernaut”, but it seems the limits are endless. You get out what you put in.

Now that I have a potty trained child and entertaining the idea of potty training my second child, I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. I try to avoid public potties, but when the nearly 4 year old has to go, he has to go. I have seen many public bathrooms that would [...]

The Christmas Stocking – Part 13

July 14, 2010

Unlucky 13, well, not really. Although I did almost forget about this particular piece! I read the instructions, and they seemed to be a bit “bassackwards”, so I modified them to fit my skills. I cut out piece number 43. The instructions wanted me to sequin and applique it into place, but I realized I [...]
