The Save Money Blog

Posts Tagged ‘freebies-and-coupons’

Who in their right mind would pay full price for anything in this day in age? Nobody should be that is for sure. It’s because we live in a time of such fierce competition for our spending dollars that everybody and their brother that owns a business is fighting for you to become a loyal and return shopper.

How does that translate to you or me the consumer? Coupons. It is as simple as that. Every single company that has a website presence offers shopping coupons for their online stores or their physical walk up stores. For example, before I buy anything online I search Google for coupons or codes that are going to save me money. You can also find websites like Savings.com coupons where you can search for companies and see if they have any current coupons or discount codes. Remember in the old day and age when you had to flip through the paper looking for coupons. Not anymore. You can find them in about two seconds online and start saving right away. As I said, there is no way you should be paying full price for anything that you buy from any retailer.

We just went through two big shopping days and that leaves a huge gap between now and Christmas. Over three weeks to be exact. That means that retailers are going to be going out of their way to offer Christmas savings. Happy searching.

I have come across some nice freebies and coupons. I don't have time to post them all week so maybe from now on I can do a weekend post with links to a few freebies and coupons.

Jack In the Box Two Free Tacos – 02/24 only you have just have to print the coupon off

Aqua Fresh Toothpaste Coupons – let the page load and follow the links at the bottom there are lot of coupons for toothpaste and related products

Crystal Light Free Sample – I love this stuff and have been adding it to my daily water for a long time

There are a few freebies and coupons for the weekend! Enjoy!

So today I was reading through some freebie sites and came across a forum discussing SwagBucks. It's a site where they offer random points for using their search engine and you can redeem the points for prizes or draw tickets for prizes. Just install their toolbar in your IE of FireFox, user their search engine for your surfing needs and  you can gain dollars. The search results are returned by Google and Ask. I just joined today and I already have enough for a $5 Amazon gift card.

So nobody gives anything away for free. I believe that for sure. So what's the catch? There is no catch. They are using a couple of pay per search engines where they are being paid for you searching terms and in turn they are paying it back by giving you random points for goods. If you are going to use a search engine you are probably going to use one of them anyways so why not give it a shot.

Let me know how it is working out. They also post bonus codes that you can redeem for points but I haven't caught on yet. Please let me know if you come across any.

Join up for SwagBucks and start earning points.

Have you ever invested a hefty sum of money on expensive products just to realize they were not worth the investment? It happens to most of us and we could have avoided such pointless waste of money if the products we purchased had samples in the first place. There are many businesses which offer their products to consumers for free in order to build attention around their brand, but most people have no clue that they exist. From software to health products, you can find free samples of pretty much any kind of product you're looking for. The key is to do a little research before you head out to buy expensive products.

One of the reasons why many people don't want to take some time to collect coupons which may lead them to free products is because of the "time" factor. It doesn't make sense to have to wait days for products to arrive while you could make a quick trip to the store and get what you want, this would be the fastest solution but not necessarily the more cost-effective one. By doing a little bit of research you can save a lot of money in products you use on a daily basis.
