Mega Swagbucks Day

If you haven't signed up with Swagbucks, you definitely need to. It is a great search engine where you can earn swagbucks every time you search. I average 20-30 swagbucks a day. You can also download the Swagbucks Toolbar and Swagbucks will give you FREE swagcodes occasionally.

You can redeem your swagbucks for great prizes. My favorite prize is Amazon gift cards. With 450 swagbucks you can earn a $5 Amazon gift card. I apply my gift cards to my Amazon account and save them to use at Christmas.

Freebies in my Mailbox Last Week - The Best Freebie Ever!!

Here is what I received in the mail last week for FREE:

This is probably "the best" freebie that I have ever received for FREE!!  I received a Keurig flyer in the mail a couple of weeks ago for a free Keurig home brewing system.  The flyer contained a coupon code to receive it plus shipping for free.  Of course, I was a little hesitate.  I thought it was too good to be true. 

I went online and went to the website, placed my order in the shopping cart, went through the checkout process and applied my coupon.  My order balance was 0.00.  I kept waiting for something to pop up and notify me this wasn't really free.  I was not asked for my credit card information.  I finally made it to the last page and all I had to do was hit the button to place my order.  I still was hesitate.   I kept thinking this is too good to be true.  I finally clicked the button to place my order.  I received my confirmation within a couple of minutes and 2 days later I received my Keurig coffee machine along with 12 free samples.    

Did anyone else receive this offer in the mail?
