Swagbucks = Christmas Cash!

Are you swagging yet?

Are you ready for Christmas? Presents bought and wrapped? Well, I just finished purchasing the last of my gifts - and guess what - I got them all for FREE! Yep, I used Swagbucks to get Amazon.com credit. Since Amazon will ship, I went ahead and had them sent to my loved ones who live far away, saving me a trip to the post office. Talk about EASY holiday shopping! It may be too late for you to start earning Swagbucks for this holiday season but get going now and come next Christmas you will be a happy camper.

I'm by no means the savviest Swagbuck accumulator, but in one month I can easily earn enough bucks to get $5 credit at Amazon and that's all just by doing my normal internet surfing. You do get more bucks through referrals, but I only have two so far, and it caps at 1,000 per referral anyway. And I still make a decent amount of bucks. Swagbucks is a search engine as good as any other, but it gives you credit (Swagbucks) while you search. And I'll tell you there is NO spam attached. You can determine how much interaction you have with it. My privacy feels just as secure as it would using Google or Yahoo's search engines. But searching with Swagbucks makes my searches work for me.

They have tons of other stuff you can get with your Swagbucks besides Amazon credit, but if you ask me, that's the best bang for your Swagbuck out there, just depends on your preferences. Don't wait another day - get Swagging!

UPDATE: Under the EARN tab on the Swagbucks Homepage you can print coupons and earn Swagbucks when you redeem them!! Thanks Christina!!

Click, and start earning some swag!

Freezer Homemade Fries & Sauce

I LOVE fries! I would make them more but it seems like a hassle when I'm trying to get dinner ready, kids are screaming, and I'm trying to dodge cheerios on the floor.

Then along came freezer fries and my life is far richer (lol)....not the ones you buy at the store that kinda look potato-like, but the real things. They are also MUCH cheaper. So instead of letting your potatoes sit around, and hoping that you remember to use them, you can make fries....yum....

To see my post on what to do with a 10lb. bag of potatoes go to The Coupon Project.

First wash and scrub potatoes ( I don't peel because I think it's miserable work)
Cut into 1/2 inch fries
Toss with oil (I usually use Canola)
Add salt and a little sugar (makes them crispy)

Place them on a baking sheets and bake at 475 for 20 minutes (they will only be half cooked)
After baking, let them cool on paper or dish towels Put in freezer on sheet (I have a small freezer so I used pie tins) Let them freeze solid (ab…

Gardner Village Series: Country Furniture & Gifts

Gardner Village is a local treasure. If you've never found your way down there, October is the month to do it! The shop owners love Halloween! The village becomes a witch village and many times, shop owners will even dress up. On my most recent trip to Gardner Village, I stopped in at Country Furniture & Gifts which is a store very ready for Halloween.

The store is located in part of the old restored flour mill built in 1877 by Archibald Gardner in West Jordan, Utah. The store is very family oriented and houses many built-to-last items such as dining room tables, sofas, beds and chairs. They are also famous for their rug room where many of their rugs are still USA made. As they say, "A rug makes a huge impact for a minimum investment to any room."

The home accessories and giftware are amazing! They have all sorts of decor for all sorts of personalities. Please be sure to pay them a visit. It's worth it!
