Walgreens.

I've really started getting back into Walgreens.  I'm not a fan of their Register Rewards (I tend to forget to use them), but with their sales prices & my military discount, I can score some GREAT deals.

2 Arizona Ice Teas

1 Box of Kleenex

1 Package of Huggies Diapers

1 Package of Wipes

2 Hefty Slider Bags

1 Colgate Toothpaste

3 Dawn Dish Soaps

1 Orbit Gum

2 Dial Body Washes

2 Proganix Shampoo & Conditioner

Total Before Savings, Military Discount, & Coupons: $71.08

After Discounts & Coupons: $27.81

Bonus: Got Back $2.25 for Ibotta, 1560 in Balance Reward Points, & a $2.50 Register Reward

*Note: If you are NOT an Ibotta user, I urge you to join.  You can get cash back on things like bread, milk, yogurt, etc.  It's not a lot but it does add up.

*Just to give you a bit of insight the Shampoo ALONE goes for 9.99  as well as the Condition, so that's $20 right there, and I paid $27 for EVERYTHING.  Now, I would NEVER pay that much for Shampoo or Condition.  In fact, after the sale, coupons, and discount...each bottle was .85 CENTS!

back and ready to PARTY!

Wow! I'm baaacccckkkkk!  I haven't made a post since January! Geesh!  I finally had the baby & after a rough pregnancy, recovery, post-partum...I am finally feeling a bit better.  I'm getting back into couponing & doing all my online stuff as well.  Which leads me to this post:

I was selected to host a House Party!  This is my second one in just 2 months, so I'm pretty excited.  I'm hosting a Rosatello Wine Party!  My party pack items are below:

ehh, not the BEST picture but it'll work.

9 Plastic Wine Cups

Red Circles- Compact Mirrors

1 Bottle Opener

2- $15 Visa Gift Cards to purchase the wine.

Several Card Packets with Information on Rosatello.

*I urge you to try and apply to these house parties.  It's been awhile since I've gotten selected but they are SO much fun.  Not to mention, they give GREAT party packs!

Quick Trip.

I didn't keep up with my survey total last month as life has just been BUSY!  I've slacked on coupon trips, but now that I have my husband home for awhile, I can get back into it.  Made a quick trip to Farm Fresh just for the freebies!

ALL FREE!  Only paid tax!

Time to CASH in......

I had a REALLY good month!  Now that school has started & football season is here, I'm not sure I will do as well, but we'll see ;)  

Swagbucks: $65 Amazon Gift Cards, $50 Paypal

Valued Opinions: $20 Macy's Gift Card

Acop: $54.10 Paypal

I-Say: $25 Paypal

SurveySavvy: $9 Check

I-Poll: $25 Amazon Gift Card

E-Rewards: $25 Game Stop E-Gift Card

*These next two are not survey sites but easy ways to make money.  Ebates gives you cash back for certain stores when you shop online.  Why not get paid something back if your shopping online?  Also, Ibotta pays you for certain grocery items you may purchase.  One thing that seems to always be on there is milk.  All I do is use the app and take a picture of the receipt, scan the barcode, and wait for them to credit me the amount.

Ebates: $10.73 Paypal

Ibotta: $12 Paypal

Total: $295.83!!!!

That is AMAZING!  It really doesn't take that much work to do.  I normally spend maybe an hour a day, while doing other things too.  Swagbucks is the easiest for me to do. I can run the apps on my cell phone a good portion of the day while I'm working & make goals.

July!

Summer is FLYING by!  I didn't do as well this month on surveys, as I did previous months but we've been BUSY!  Corey is playing on a new football team, which takes more time & more dedication.  Four nights a week we are out at the fields, but we love it!  Little Eric has decided he wants to try soccer so we're currently try to find a place/team for him to try that out.  Anyways, on to the $$

Swagbucks: $50 Paypal, $25 Amazon, & $35 Walmart Gift Card

I-Poll: $50 Paypal

Valued Opinions: $20 Macy's Gift Card

Total: $180!

*Swagbucks has been by far the most helpful.  It's SUPER easy.  I have 2 mobile apps that I run while I'm at work.  Sometimes they may get hung up on an ad, but it pretty much earns the swagbucks with no effort from me.  Those apps combined total 170 swagbucks!  

and........

I came home to THIS in the mail! My boys are in LOVE, especially little eric!  I'm a member of BzzAgent.  I basically sign-up to try different/new products that are coming out.  Once the product arrives, we try it out & then share our opinions or 'buzz' about it.  I've been a member for YEARS, but this is the BEST one yet!  We already ambushed my husband when he got home from work.  The darts went SO fast!  We were laughing at his reaction & him trying to dodge the nerf bullets.  The boys then went upstairs and had a full out 'nerf gun' war!  I have two boys & only one of these so I will definitely have to purchase another!  This is just a great 'fun' toy for the boys to play with.  I even enjoyed chasing the kids myself & taking aim ;)

my sweet little eric being very 'shy' for the camera :)
