Happy New Year
December 31st, 2011 
Admin A great swagday!
February 28th, 2011 Admin Today was Swagbuck’s birthday and they released many codes and new features.
First was the new blog and the in-page toolbar (not to be confused with the regular toolbar). You can check out the new blog and toolbar from the blog page, here. I find the toolbar slows down the page a little but the blog [...]
$90 cashback from online purchases
February 15th, 2011 Admin As I mentioned in January, I have been using Great Canadian Rebates every time I shop online at a participating retailer. Today I received my second rebate payment from them, $90.30 with more due in the next round of payments (they wait a certain number of days to ensure you do not return items)
You can [...]
January Savings
February 8th, 2011 Admin I didn’t do any major stocking up in January, so this is mostly groceries. I am getting back into the habit of tracking everything rather than just coupon shopping. I notice a lot of people use the same tracker and have a coupon on every item but unless that is all junk they are eating, [...]
Making the most of spending money
January 27th, 2011 Admin I am a huge fan of rebates for stuff I have to spend on anyway.
I had to book hotel rooms for an upcoming trip, using a link from Great Canadian Rebates, I got a great deal from Hotels.com and because I am a member of Hotels.com, for every night (per room) I book, I earn [...]

No Comments »Smart Canucks Meetup
January 27th, 2011 Admin Catching up on lost posts… over the last two weeks I attended two SmartCanucks meetups & coupon swaps.
The first was in Toronto, many of the members I had already met but we had some new people attend and lots of great coupons passed out including one each for free toothpaste. It was great seeing everyone [...]
New Year … New Goals
January 1st, 2011 Admin As I mentioned in my earlier posts on my couponing resolutions (posts one & two), this year I wanted to be better organised to maximize savings
1. Organize coupons better – CHECK! My binder system seems to be working well for me and I have my new huge accordian file for trading. I went through both [...]
My FREE Christmas present to myself
December 26th, 2010 Admin @Swagbucks
I was waiting for a Boxing Day Sale to buy a new monitor, the colour on my old one is getting dark. When adding the ones I liked to my Amazon wishlist so I could easily check prices today, I came across this one on sale. $149.99 down to $99.99. Amazon’s sale prices can be [...]

December 18th, 2010 Admin Swagbucks has a bonus code out for new signups, you get 30SBs for joining and a bonus 30SBs when you enter the code JoinIn2010. 450SBs gets you a $5 gift card to Amazon.com or Amazon.ca so 60SBs is an amazing start!
Starting Monday 20 December, there will be a new collector bills promo. The swagbucks holiday [...]
Amazon, is it worth it?
November 19th, 2010 Admin Amazon.ca is usually overpriced compared to other online retailers and I often see people on Swagbucks‘ Facebook Wall asking if it is worth it since the price is more. You can collect $5 Paypal payments at 700 SBs each but unlike the Amazon cards, where a $5 card is 450SBs, you can’t buy $25 or [...]
