TEN Ways To Maximize Your Swagbucks!!

Search & WinTEN Ways to Maximize Your Swagbucks:

What are Swagbucks? It’s basically just a search engine. But instead of getting nothing out of “research,” you can use the SwagBucks search engine to earn “swagbucks.” After you have accumulated some, you can redeem them for prizes. I research and look up stuff ALL the time, so why not get rewarded for something you do every day anyways?

Some of the merchandise include gift cards, electronics, sweepstakes for bigger prizes, mp3s, school supplies and much much more.

Bucks Tip #1: Join!!
First, you gotta join SwagBucks to earn SwagBucks, DUH!!

Bucks Tip #2: Use the Toolbar!!
The quickest way to win SBs is to use their toolbar. Any time you need to look something up, type it in the toolbar for a chance to win more bucks. It only takes a second to install.

Bucks Tip #3: Use for EVERY search!!
Anytime I need to use a website, like Hotmail, Facebook, etc. I will type that in at Swagbucks. So I will “search” for hotmail.com, and most of the time I will win some bucks.

Bucks Tip #4: Get creative!!
Don’t just limit yourself to one search – get creative in your wording. For example, when I type in for hotmail, I’ll try a couple of different things: a) Hotmail, b) Hotmail.com, c) www.Hotmail.com, d) Hotmail email, e) Hotmail email account, etc. You can do this with a lot of searches.

Bucks Tip #5: Swag Codes!!
Swagbucks puts out codes every now and then on their Twitter or Facebook page. These are basically FREE bucks. When you find a code, type it into “Your Account” code box, and they are instantly added to your account.

Bucks Tip #6: Shop!!
There is an option to shop through SwagBucks. For every $1.00 you spend, you earn 2 SwagBucks. There are tons of stores to shop at, including iTunes, Wal-Mart, Guitar Center.

Bucks Tip #7: Trade In!!
There is also an option to TRADE for SwagBucks. You can trade in old cell phones, mp3 players, video games and video game consoles. If you’re not using them and can’t “sell” them, then TRADE them for SwagBucks.

Bucks Tip #8: SwagStakes!!
Swagbucks has lots of sweepstakes you can enter. For only a few bucks, you can enter for things like DVDs, 1,000 SwagBucks, $25 PayPal cash, etc.

Bucks tip #9: Use the Tabs!!
There are tabs located at the top of the search "Web" "Images" "Video" etc. When you do a search, click on each one of those links, THEN click back on the Web search. There have been several times where I got Swagbucks JUST from doing that. Hey - any little bit helps!

Bucks tip #10: Amazon GiftCards!!
Although there are a ton of things to purchase, the Amazon.com gift cards are the best route to go, and here is why:

$5.00 Amazon e-GC = 450 SwagBucks
$5.00 PayPal Cash = 700 SwagBucks
$10.00 Barnes & Noble e-GC = 1250 SwagBucks
Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (4th Generation) NE = 9500 SwagBucks
**On Amazon.com, this costs around $51.00**

You can almost always find something you need on Amazon.com. So unless you need the cash, the Amazon e-GC is a much better option than the $5.00 PayPal cash.

You can almost always find the book you need on Amazon.com as well as B&N.com. So for a $10.00 book, you can get (2) $5.00 Amazon e-GCs for 900 SwagBucks, or get (1) $10.00 B&N e-GC for 1250 SwagBucks. So looks like the Amazon.com GC is the better option.

THEN – Swagbucks has lots of electronic items to choose from, for example the Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (4th Generation) NE for a total of 9500 SwagBucks. This runs (right now) for $51.00 on Amazon.com. To cover this cost with Amazon e-GCs, you would need 11 GCs, so 11 x 450 SBs = 4950. Or you can order the iPod shuffle for 9500 straight from the Swagbucks website. IF you cash out on Amazon.com e-GCs, you can get the iPod shuffle for almost HALF the cost.

So, the best tip I can give you if you are going to purchase “stuff” is cash your SwagBucks out for Amazon e-GCs.

I have been able to get lots of stuff for free by using SwagBucks. So if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, or haven’t found time to keep searching, hopefully this will help you get motivated.

I LOVE FREE STUFF!!

The Bakery Outlet

My mom and I did some shopping on Friday, and right next to the store was a Bakery Outlet. I have ALWAYS wanted to go inside and see what kind of deals they have. So we went inside and this is what I got:

(2) 8ct large flour tortillas - $.85 each
(3) 12ct flour tortillas - $.85 each
(1) 36ct corn tortillas - $.85
Bimbo Wheat Bread - $.78
Mrs. Baird’s 8ct Honey Wheat Burger Buns - $.78
Mrs. Baird’s 8ct Honey Wheat HotDog Buns - $.78
(1) Original English Muffins 6ct - FREE
**when you buy $6.00 worth of items, you get an item for FREE**

My total for all this was $6.34

I went to a Mrs. Baird’s bread outlet, and they also have a card program. For every $30 in purchases, you get a FREE bread AND a FREE snack cake. So lots of free stuff to be had. I already have $6.00 marked off my card!

This store also had cookies, chips, snacks, etc. So it's not JUST bread!!

I went to Kroger to price some of these items to see if it was really worth it, even with coupons. Sometimes I just don’t want to use coupons, take the time to cut them out or search for deals. Sometimes I don’t have the time or patience to keep making homemade bread…and tortillas. ☺ If this is you – you might consider finding your local bakery outlet to score some great deals. AND - even with coupons, I don't think I would have gotten my total so low.

At Kroger, these items would have cost me (I looked up both the name brand and the Kroger Value brand and listed the lowest price):
Large Tortillas - $2.49 each
Tortillas - $1.49 each
Corn Tortillas - $.89 (for the 30ct)
Bread - $.78
Burger & HotDog Buns - $.88 each
English Muffins - $1.89
= $14.77

So by shopping at this Outlet, I saved $8.43...and the hassle (I mean joy) of dealing with coupons :)

What’s great is DUH-the price, plus I got some name brand, wheat items.

So if you have a bakery outlet near you, I would suggest making a run for it!!

MEGA SWAGBUCKS DAY!!!

I LOVE FRIDAYS!!! For not only the obvious (because it's the WEEKEND), but it's Mega Swagbucks Friday!!!

What are Swagbucks?? Well...you can earn points ("swagbucks") by searching the web through their Swagbucks site. Then you can redeem those points for free stuff like giftcards, cash, other items.

Every Friday is Mega Swagbucks day! You can earn more swagbucks by searching on Fridays. Register now, and you can get 3 FREE Swag Bucks.

If you have not started using Swagbucks, I would highly suggest you start now. It is so well worth it. You are probably on the internet searching everyday anyways, so why not win some free stuff while you're at it!
