This Weekend’s Events!

I’ve been so busy that I’ve forgotten to post about this weekend’s events.  We plan on hosting a cookout at our house and taking it easy this weekend.  Let me know if I missed anything good:

It’s Mega Swagbucks Friday!

It’s Friday!! The weekend is so close! The best thing about Friday is that is MEGA SWAGBUCKS DAY!!!

What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a search engine similar to google or yahoo, but when you search, you earn SWAGBUCKS! You can use these bucks to get great prizes! 450 bucks gets you a $5 amazon Giftcard! I’ve been a member for about a year and have earned over $200 in Amazon Giftcads! Not bad! I plan to use swagbucks giftcards to buy our Christmas presents this year.

How do I sign up?
To sign up, just CLICK HERE and fill out the form. Then start searching!

How else can I earn Swagbucks?
My advice is to fan them on facebook, follow on twitter, and keep an eye on their blog. They will give away codes and then you just paste the code into the homepage and you’ll get more bucks!

Happy Swagbucking! Let me know if you find anything good!

PaperBack Swap and Swap A DVD

PaperBackSwap.com - Book Club to Swap, Trade & Exchange Books for Free.I know I love to swap things instead of buying them, so here are a couple great swapping sites! First off, we have Paperback Swap. Just post books you do not want and when they are snagged by others, you ship them out and you’ll get a book credit to get a book you want! Easy as pie! I’ve been a member for about 2 years now and it’s been a wonderful experience.
Made by the same people as Paperback Swap, there is also Swap a Dvd. Same concept. These sites are so great as I’ve been able to get some of the “locked in the vault” Disney dvds that we had missed out on. Sometimes it may take a while to get the dvd on your wish list, but eventually, your time will come.

$7.00 in Scotch Coupons!

Scotch goes on sale fairly often, so I’m guessing these coupons will make  a great deal!  I ship things quite often, so am always looking to save money on packing supplies!  Click the banner to sign up for your coupons!

Pound for Pound Challenge and Kroger Giftcard Giveaway!

The Kroger Co. Family of Stores, General Mills, NBC’s hit TV Show “The Biggest Loser” and other key sponsors are partnering to donate up to $1,080,000 to Feeding America this year.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Visit http://pfpchallenge.com/Kroger to make your pledge to lose weight and to get more information and to find tools to change your life for the better. It is free, easy and only takes a minute to make a change that can help you and help the hungry in your local community.
  • Through June 30, 2010, for every pound you pledge to lose, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Feeding America® — enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.

As the official supplier of the Biggest Loser Ranch and partner of the Pound for Pound Challenge, the Kroger Family of Stores wants to help you achieve your goals. If you’re a fan of the Biggest Loser, you may have seen several great General Mills products featured on the show. These products, including Yoplait Greek yogurt, Total, and Multigrain Cheerios, are available at your local Kroger Family of Stores and can help you stick to your weight management plan. I absolutely LOVE the Yoplait Greek Yogurt and Multigrain Cheerios. Yum!

Kroger Family of Stores and General Mills would like to give one of my readers a $30 Giftcard so you can jump start your weight management plan and buy healthy options. This gift card will be valid at any of the Kroger Family stores. The Kroger Family of Stores includes Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralph’s, King Soopers, City Market, Dillon’s, Smith’s, Fry’s, QFC, Baker’s, Owen’s, Jay C Food Stores, Hilander, Gerbes, Food4Less, Pay Less Super Markets and Scott’s Food & Pharmacy.

Here’s how to enter:

  1. Go to the Pound for Pound Challenge website and make your pledge. Remember, every pound you pledge to lose will give 14 cents to Feeding America. Come back here and leave a comment telling me how much you have pledged to lose or how you plan on telling others about the challenge.
  2. For an extra entry, blog about this giveaway and leave a comment with your blog link. Let’s get the word out and raise money!
  3. For a third entry, “Like” Mommy Octopus on facebook. If you already like our page, leave a comment stating that you are already a “liker”.

This giveaway ends Thursday, June 3rd.

Disclosure: The information was provided by Kroger Family of Stores and General Mills through My Blog Spark. I was given an additional gift card. All comments and opinions are my own.
