Online Focus Groups!

I am so excited to be able to participate on not one but, two online focus groups. One will be paying $60 and the other will be paying $75. Whooo Hoo! Gotta love that around Christmas time.

So far I've started one of the online focus group panels. I was kind anxious what it would entail but, it's really easy and fun. The two I am participating last 3 days.

I would suggest these two online focus group companies to get you started:

Usa Talk Now:

USA Talk Now is a nation-wide network of people who make a difference. Members participate in online surveys and focus groups, sharing their opinions and preferences on a wide variety of topics while earning points that can be redeemed for a variety of great rewards.

Gongos (Consumer Village:

Gongos Research is looking for people to join their online market research community, which they have called the Consumer Village. As a member of Consumer Village, you will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of different studies and programmes, and they claim that as a member of this community, you will have far more ways to participate in research than you would with a traditional survey panel. Their secret, according to their website, lies in the fact that they will make a large number of surveys available to members, each of which earn points for completion. These points that are awarded to participants can be transferred for amazon.com gift certificates

*HOT!* Walgreens: Free-plus-overage Kleenex!

Walgreens has a very hot Kleenex deal which you'll want to jump on this week--especially since we're in the middle of cold and flu season. Here's how to get "paid" to buy boxes of Kleenex at Walgreens:

Buy 3 boxes of Kleenex Facial Tissue--$1.09 with the in-ad coupon
Use $0.50/3 coupon here or from the 10/4 or 11/1 SmartSource inserts
Use $1/1 Kleenex coupon from the November Healthy Savings Booklet (Pictured Below) - will deduct $3
Free plus $0.23 overage after coupons

You'll need to add in a filler that is $0.23 or more if you're only buying boxes of Kleenex, otherwise not all of your coupons will go through as you'll have a negative balance. I recommend that you hand the manufacturer's coupon first, then the Healthy Savings coupon, then the in-ad coupon. If you do it this way, you shouldn't have a problem with beeping or with your coupons not going through.

If you don't have the manufacturer's coupon, you'll only pay $0.09 out of pocket--which is an excellent deal on Kleenex!

Photography Class I Took Through Community Classes!

Remember this post about the Tulsa Parks Community photography class?   Well it's finally over and we got to go out on a field trip to the Tulsa Zoo with our instructor and shoot some photos a couple of weeks ago.  I think this was the most valuable class out of all of the classes because the instructor was there in a real life situation giving instructions on what to do and what not to do.

This is a very frugal way to learn more about your camera.  I highly suggest taking a community class.  Here are some of my pictures from the field trip shoot.

Free Magazines for the Month of November!

I wanted to show you just how many magazine subscriptions you can get for free. I have so many I keep a word document with dates that I applied for the subscription and for how long the subscription is for just so I won't subscribe for duplicate issues.

Cosmopolitan
Baby Talk
Shape
Fitness
Woman's Day
Women's Health
Organic Gardening
Martha Stewart Living

Album Review: Five For Fighting

I was given this wonderful opportunity from the "One to One Network" to be able to receive the newest released album from Five For Fighting, Slice, which was just released October 12th.

My favorite song from the whole album is.....Chances.  It's really uplifting and a great song. Chances is a song you can turn on in the car, roll down the windows, let the wind blow through your hair, and sing your heart out while your driving down the road.  I love those kinds of songs and "Chances" is one of them.

Really the whole album is great!  Here's all the songs:

Album Tracklisting:
1. Slice
2. Note To The Unknown Soldier
3. Tuesday
4. Chances
5. This Dance
6. Above The Timberline
7. Transfer
8. Hope
9. Story Of Your Life
10. Love Can't Change The Weather
11. Augie Nieto

Check out Five For Fighting's website: fiveforfighting.com

Embarrased to Use Coupons?

Embarrassed to Use Coupons? We'll I don't exactly fall into this category....but, I know a lot of you do.  I personally don't understand it.  The one's that need to use coupons the most won't! Why, who knows?  I guess for different reasons.  But, on this Rachel Ray episode it just reiterates my point.  Bill Rancic on "The Rachel Ray Show" states that the highest percentages of people that use coupons make over $75,000 a year.  Why?  Obviously they like keeping their money. 

We'll that's the end of my rant.  Use coupons, it's not embarrassing!

Yoplait Kids Less Sugar More Fun Review and Giveaway!

I recently received this wonderful Yoplait Less Sugar, More Fun prize pack from my friends at BlogSpark.  This pack included a six pack of Yoplait Kids yogurt, a travel cooler (to take your yogurt on-the-go), a fun spoon that changes colors in warm water, a reusable place mat with games to keep the kids happy while snacking, and a fuzzy tangle puzzle for some after-snack fun.

My three year was happy to oblige in helping do this review for Yoplait Kids yogurt.  We got the 25% less sugar yogurt that has Dora the Explorer on the packaging.  Dora the Explorer is cute on the packaging but, it didn't impact her decision on why she liked it.   I like that is there is 25% less sugar.  Anywhere we can cut back on sugar we do.  Also, knowing that Yoplait Kids is a good source of vitamin D is definitely an added bonus.  I liked giving her this yogurt because it is healthy.

My daughter instantly gobbled up the yogurt.  The flavors were: strawberry-vanilla, strawberry, banana, vanilla, peach, and strawberry-banana.  Her favorite was the strawberry-banana.

Would you like to try Yoplait Kid's Yogurt? I will be giving away 2 Yoplait Less Sugar, More Fun prize packs.

To enter:

1. Leave me a comment telling me your favorite yogurt flavor.

2. Become a follower.

Make sure you leave your e-mail address so, I will be able to contact you if you win.  Giveaway will end November 6nd.  Winners will be chosen through random.org and will have 3 days to respond to my email.

*This coupon offer for a free six pack of Yoplait Kids yogurt is not valid in some states, including Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota and Tennessee. If you live in one of these states, you may still receive the kit, but will be unable to redeem the coupon.
