A Giveaway Everyday

Today I discovered A Giveaway Everyday! I clicked on the button featured on Moms by Heart, and this website is amazing - as stated in the name, they offer a new giveaway everyday. The giveaway that was posted today is for the Barbar 1900 Tourmaline Cordless Combo, which includes a tourmaline plate flat iron and curling iron. For most entries, you simply enter your name and answer a question (such as "What other Barbar product would you like to own?"). When the giveaway you entered closes, you check the winners board and see if you were the lucky winner. If the selected winner does not respond within 48 hours, a new winner is chosen. They have some really awesome giveaways, and I am very excited to have discovered this little gem!

Vocalpoint

Do you enjoy free samples? How about testing products? If either of these is true for you, then you should check out Vocalpoint. I have been a member of Vocalpoint for about a month now and I have already received two product samples to test, as well as mailers containing valuable coupons. Basically, you will receive emails asking if you would like to try and review a product, and you can choose whether or not to sign up and receive that particular product. Once you have received your sample, you try it out and then head back to Vocalpoint to give them your review. I have received samples of Secret Clinical Strength deodorant and Olay Pro-X wrinkle smoothing cream, and I have been pleasantly surprised with the size of the samples. Check it out!

Luvs Network

As moms, we are all too aware of how expensive diapers can be! In our family, we swear by Luvs. They cost less and they work great. A good friend of mine told me today that if you sign up to be a member of the Luvs Network, they will send you diaper coupons in the mail. I just signed up and look forward to saving a little bit of money on diapers. If you like Luvs as much as we do, sign up! Happy saving :)

Yet another freebie - free Mozart for babies download!

I just downloaded this freebie myself. What a great deal! You can find two Mozart Musical Soup album downloads for free here!

Chai Tea sample

Personally, I LOVE chai tea! I am, however, very picky about my chai. I know I like Tazo, so that's what I buy. I'm just not willing to spend the money to buy another brand and risk not liking it. That's why I was so excited to hear about this free sample of Oregon Chai Tea! What a perfect opportunity to try a new brand for free!

Free samples

Sign up to be a member of P&G Everyday Solutions and you can request a free sample of Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Body Wash (not available in stores until next year!) There are several other samples of P&G products available as well, in addition to some valuable coupons.

Like Moe's? I went to their website to look at the menu, and while there I signed up for "Moe's eWorld". A few minutes later I checked my email and discovered that when you sign up, you get a coupon for a free cup of queso! Yum :)

I love free stuff!

Here is a list of free things I got yesterday:

*free bronzer sample from Sephora inside JCPenney using this coupon (a little goes a long way with this, so the sample should last awhile.) Not sure how long this promotion will be going on, but if you have a Sephora inside your JCPenney, bring in the coupon and see if you can still get the freebie!
*free 6 piece box of chocolate dipped fruit from Edible Arrangements (this offer was for the first 100,000 people who signed up as fans on facebook)
*free absolutely divine chocolate bar from CVS with coupon received in e-mail
*Neosporin Lip Health from CVS - price is $5.39, with $2.50 off using your extracare card and another $3 off using a printable coupon available earlier this month. I only had to pay 12 cents out of pocket to cover tax!
*sample of Burt's Bees acne treatment received in the mail

Five things for 12 cents out of pocket, I love it! I got the info about most of these deals from Money Saving Mom and Deal Seeking Mom. Now that I have started this blog, in the future I will post about deals like these in time for my readers to take advantage of them. Happy saving!

Free cookie and hot chocolate!

If you find yourself near a Barnes and Noble on Saturday (10/24/09), bring this coupon in for a free chocolate chip cookie and kids size hot chocolate! Yum :)

Opinion Outpost

When it comes to online survey companies, Opinion Outpost is by far my favorite. In just over a month, I have earned 277 points, which is equivalent to $27.70. I chose to redeem my points for Amazon gift codes, but Opinion Outpost will also send you a check if requested. I get a few surveys every week, with each survey being worth about 20 points, or $2.00. The surveys are easy and don't usually take more than 15 minutes. While no internet survey company is going to make you rich, Opinion Outpost is a great way to earn a little extra cash! Check it out here!

Where to begin?

So, I've decided to try my hand at blogging so that I can share valuable information with my friends and family. I have read a lot of "Mommy blogs", but I have included links to my 4 favorites in the column to the right. Most of the deals I will mention I probably got from one of their blogs, and credit will be given to them. Having worked full time before my daughter was born, I never really got into using coupons or taking surveys online, or even looking for freebies. Now that I have discovered this world of money saving, it's like a game to see how much stuff I can get for little to no money. I hope that by condensing what I consider to be the best deals into one blog, I will be able to help my readers save money without having to spend a ton of time sifting through all the info that is floating around out there. Happy saving!
