Not a big week for freebies for me, but got three of my favorite kind of freebies:
Yogi Tea- I got two free bags and a Coupon
Thanks to Swagbucks I received $10 in Amazon gift cards.
I also received a coupon for a free 12 pack of Coke thanks to My Coke Rewards.
I have made it a point in the past couple of years to not buy what I know I can get for free so I do not purchase coke 12 packs (I will cave and buy the 20 oz bottles)
I very rarely buy coffee or hot tea because of all of the free samples. I have bought K cups because I do not get that many free samples of them. I have even been known to make "Thinking of You" gift bags with the free coffee or tea or really any freebies I receive.
I am forever trying to find ways to live like someone with money on a frugal mama budget. One of those things is soda. I love soda... yes, I know that it is not good for you but I love it! The thing is that those little boogers are expensive. Good news, they don't have to be! With the My Coke Rewards program you can enter codes from the lids of 20oz bottles or codes from cases of coke and earn points that can be redeemed for coupons for free 12-packs or what I have decided to start getting $3 off a 12-pack coupon, because they are less points equaling more coupons and pair them with a good deal it might still be free or less than a dollar.
Ways to get as many points as me:
* Find a storage container and designate it to coke points.
* Ask friends and family to save their lids for you
* I am not above collecting lids that are left on bottles laying out in a public place and redeeming those points. If they aren't going to be used that is just plain wasteful anyway.
I also save the cans and tabs from my 12-packs. The cans go to the recycling center to be redeemed for cash and the tabs are stored in a special container and will go to Ronald McDonald House when the container is full.
We are really hitting the My Coke Rewards hard right now. We are going to be supplying the beach trip drinks by redeeming as many free coupons as we can.
New favorite thing... Jingit. Jingit is an app you can get on your phone and get paid to interact. Watch short commercials for brand name products, answer a few questions and you're done. You request a payout on your Jingit Debit Card and then you spend it! Yay for free money!
