Nielsen Consumer Panel - Earn points for gift cards and more!!

We just got an email that the Nielsen National Consumer Panel has just opened back up for new applicants.  Instead of me trying to explain, the screen shots from where I signed up are below.  It seems like this is usually only open for a short time so if you want an opportunity to earn gift cards it's really easy and fast to sign up.  (There are other gifts you can earn, but aren't gift cards the new girls best friend) 

Once this offer expires we will update to let you know.

Your opinion can make a difference.  In our economy, it is vital for a company to know it's consumers.

I will take every opportunity I can get to earn points for freebies.  Especially gift cards, that way I don't feel mommy guilt for spending money on myself!!  (anyone else??) 

I have read on other websites that panel members really do win great prizes and that if you are chosen to be a part of the "exclusive Nielsen Consumer Panel" members hold on long term. 

I hope they choose me (Kasey).  If you get on the panel, leave us a comment and let us know when you start earning points and what you redeem them for!!

FREE 50 Valentines Day Cards - So cute!!!

The SeeHere FREE PhotoCard deal I keep mentioning is STILL ACTIVE!

❤❤You can now get 50 FREE Photocards for just $4.99 Shipping!❤❤

I mean, you can't buy 50 cute boxed Valentines Cards for that.  (You can make them for your kids classroom Valentines - how cute!)  I made these family Valentines Day cards (see above) just now, and paid NOTHING - just $4.99 shipping!  This is how you can do it too:

• Go HERE and sign up as a new user *You'll also get 50 FREE PRINTS!
  
• Choose 4 x 8 photo cards (Don't worry, they come with their own envelopes!)
  
• Choose your background, text, add photo, etc...
• Change number of cards to 50
• When you get to your cart, enter the code "newbaby" in lower case
• It will take your total down to $4.99!!!
  

TIP: We had a family photo made recently, but I didn't want to pay for tons of sheets to send to all of my relatives & friends.  This way I can send them ALL a recent photo without any extra cost!
More Ideas:  If Valentines just isn't your thing, use your free cards to make birthday invites, baby announcements, engagement announcements, bridal shower invites, etc....  Use that imagination to make the most of the freebie!

Walgreens: HOT Gain on DOUBLE Clearance!!

Several people have reported finding Gain detergent on DOUBLE CLEARANCE at their Walgreens!  Now there are no coupons for Gain that I know of - but the price alone is great.  Here are the deals AFullCup users found, check your store too!

Most were only marked half off, but when scanned, rang up for much lower.  This is, as always, different from store to store.  See if you can grab a wandering employee to scan this for you before you haul a basket-full to the register.

$10.49 & $14.99 Gain (Reg. Scent or Apple Mango Tango): Ringing up for $3.79!!!
(This is the big 100 oz size)
Others have found prices like this:
$15.99: Clearance $4.19
$11.99: Clearance $4.19

Deal Idea:

Buy (2) Pert Plus for Men for $5.00 ~ Get $2 RR
Use (2) $1.50 from 1/24 SS or

(makes it FREE)

Buy $3.79 Clearance Gain
Use $2 RR

(Pay $1.79 for 100 oz!!)

* I also wanted to point out that BIC Disposable Razors are BOGO this week - and if your Walgreens lets you use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO item, you can use the BOGO from 1/10 RP to score free razors! This deal has varied greatly by store - with some razors ringing up at wacky price differences - so be forewarned!

Grocery List Time Out: I Need This.

Alright guys/gals, the grocery lists are killing me here.  I had to take a time-out and look at something fun for a sec!  I found this while browsing some vintage pics & ads-  Since I'm a giver, I just needed to share with you this amazing weight-loss breakthrough:

Dun-Dun-Dun-DUN!!!  IT'S SAUNA PANTS!

"Health-Watchers of America, (Umm, that's me, OBVIOUSLY)

Look Better-Feel Better-Wake Up Your Body.

For Men And Women

Slenderize Exactly Where You Want

One Size Fits All- Easy To Inflate"

I seriously doubt that thing is one size fits all.  Seriously. Doubt.

Okay, back to the grind!!!
