In My Mailbox

The blogging world has introduced me to a whole new realm of FREE stuff and cheap
inexpensive stuff!  :) 

In my mailbox today, I got:  a $5 rebate check from a Clorox toilet wand offer (bought the toilet wand kit for $10 with a $5 off coupon & got the $5 refund today = $0), a sample of shampoo (to add to the 2 other samples I got in the last week), a sample of Eucerin cream, and a coupon for a FREE box of mac-n-cheese from Kraft foods. 

Half the time I forget I sign up for stuff ... just the other day I got a free sample of pretzel M&Ms - and was able to have an unexpected snack while I drove in to pick up my kids from school.  What fun!!

And the contests!  Just last week I won a pet (dental) kit for my dog (which we'll have to give to a friend's dog because it is for small dogs) from Pedigree AND a premier membership to an on-line history game for kids, Wiglington & Wenks.  In the very past I won a $50 gift certificate to DaySpring - samples of Macaroni Grill make-at-home meals -and a nursing cover-up (which I never received - boo hoo!!). 

And the swagbucks - I just keep on raking in the the 'bucks!  On a day when I am at home, I probably check the internet about 3 or 4 times between banking, facebook, church business, and blogs - and I've won as many as 100 swagbucks in a day.  Usually it isn't that many - but I have enough for YET ANOTHER $5 amazon gift card right now!!  If you haven't signed up for swagbucks - what are you waiting for!?  Click on the box/button on the upper left corner of my blog and check it out!  :)

Do you have any frugal - fun - couponing - contest-winning blogs to recommend? Right now I am keeping it simple & stick to Money Saving Mom and Spend Freely.

Isn't free stuff great? And since it usually takes at least 4-6 weeks for things to arrive after I sign up for them, I've usually forgotten about them and they are a nice surprise when they come! I follow www.frugalcouponliving.com, but will have to check out the sites you listed.

It's a lot of fun winning stuff :)

I don't really enter many giveaways, I never win LOL

All my free stuff comes from product reviews that are sent to me, otherwise, that's about the extent of it for me.
