Cheap Halloween candy

All You Magazine has several great Halloween candy coupons available on their website. Click on:
http://coupons.allyou.com/Couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=14803&nid=10&zid=rd17&cid=14549007
I was able to print out $2.00/1 Nestle Butterfinger 22 oz or larger, $1.50/1 Wonka Mix-ups and $2.50/2 Nestle variety bags.  Not bad considering the price of Halloween candy.

I love contests! And free guacamole!

Sweepstakes and contests are something I like to do when I get a little free time.  You never know what you will win.  I have had gift baskets full of lotion, kitchenware, gift cards and giant bags of dog food show up at my door un-announced, sinmply because I took the 30 seconds to fill out the entry form.  My most recent win was from Wholly Guacamole on facebook.  They sent the 1st season dvd of cougartown, 4 tubs of guacamole, and a bunch of cool marketing kitch.  Yay for free guac!

Houseparty.com rocks!

A House Party is thousands of parties across the country, hosted by people like you. Each event is sponsored by a leading brand and focuses on something cool that the sponsor wants its best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends.

It's easy to join and apply to host parties.  Just go to http://houseparty.com/ and check it out.  Currently they are accepting applications for 8 different companies, including wii, Playstation, Gerber, Kraft and Hamilton Beach.  The parties change all the time, and once you sign up they will email you reminders to apply for parties you are interested in.

I have hosted 2 different parties so far, and have been very surprised by the amount of freebies each company will send.  For instance, if you are selected to host the Hamilton Beach Brewstation party, you will be sent a party kit which includes:
Hamilton Beach Brew Station
Coffee Mugs
Bag of Coffee
Coffee Filters
Cups for sampling
Special offers for guests...  my guess is coupons?

If coffee isn't your thing, sign up for the Playstation Singstar Dance Party, which includes:
2 Playstation Move Controllers
1 Playstation Eye Camera
Full version of Playstation SingStar game
Set of Singstar microphones
Coupons for 2 free 12 packs of Coke
What an awesome party night for you and your friends... all for free!

What do they ask in exchange for all the free goodies?  Your SSN, DL# and firstborn?  Nope.  They only ask that you take pictures of your party to post on the website.  They want to know how your guests liked the products.  How simple is that??

Check it out.  Once you do... invite me to your next party!!

Get prizes just for searching!

Swagbucks.com is the web's premier rewards site.  Swagbucks.com allows web users to earn virtual currency by doing the things they do every day - search the web, shopping at their favorite retailers, and by engaging in other activities such as phone recycling, submitting polls, and completing special offers.

It's easy to sign up, they don't require a ton of information.  I downloaded the toolbar which makes it easy to remember to search via swagbucks and not google or yahoo.  The toolbar also gives you a heads-up when there is a code available... and codes equal free points.

I have been with swagbucks for about 8 months, and have already been able to get a free wii and wii fit from trading my points for amazon.com gift cards.

It's easy to do and you can get great free stuff!  Please use my link to sign up: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/rockhound24
