Mega Swagbucks Day
I have been a member of Swagbucks for six months. It is my favorite online rewards program. I have earned $245 in Amazon Gift Cards so far and have already redeemed most of my earnings. This year, I was able to purchase gifts for all of my nieces and nephews with my earnings, and I still had some leftover to buy myself a little something! When you sign up for Swagbucks, you will get 30 Swagbucks to start with. Today is Mega Swagbucks Day, where you can earn lots of Swagbucks for searching and more! I already have friends that have earned several gifts cards also and are fans of Swagbucks. After signing up, you can read my tips for earning Swagbucks at the top of my homepage.
Set Goals for the New Year
I hope that you have enjoyed 2010. Now, it's time time to welcome 2011 and start fresh. It's a brand new year! I want you to take a few moments to reflect back upon 2010. What were the highlights of 2010? What did you accomplish?
I want you to think about 2011. What do you want to accomplish in 2011?
Take some time to compile a list of your goals, as an individual, and/or as a family. This can be a fun activity for the entire family. Grab a piece of paper and pencil and think about the following areas. Then write down your goals under each category. Have your family members contribute to the list. Be specific about your goals. For example, instead of writing, "save money," list how you will save money. Instead of writing, "lose weight," list how you will lose weight and what you will do to help yourself to live a healthier lifestyle.
*Spiritual
*Health
*Personal
*Family
*Financial
*Career/School
Post your goals on the refrigerator, a mirror, in your car, or any other area so that you can see them often.
What are some of your goals for 2011?

Where Are My Coupons?
I have been receiving the Sunday newspaper for months. During the month of November, I started noticing something strange. There were NO coupon inserts in the paper. I kept hearing about everyone else getting coupons, but not me. I started to think that someone was swiping my coupons!
During the month of December, I was not home. I was traveling and visiting family in my home state. I was taking a break from couponing at my own home, but still found great coupon inserts where I was visiting. When I came back home recently, I had five Sunday newspapers to go through, hoping to find my coupon inserts. None.
I knew I needed to investigate! I called the newspaper company and told them the situation. I was told that they were trying to negotiate with the companies that are in charge of the coupons inserts. She said they were receiving several calls about it and that they would hope to get the inserts back in by January.
Interesting, huh?
In other news, did anyone watch "Extreme Couponing" lastnight on TLC? I recorded it and plan to sit down tonight to watch. I have heard many interesting comments about it!

Check for Coupon Codes
I needed to buy a new water filter for my refrigerator today, so I went to the site that I always purchase one from and shopped around. Before I checked out, I was curious to see if there were any coupon codes for the store. I really didn't think I would find a code, but I wanted to check. I headed to my favorite place for coupon codes, RetailMeNot.com, and searched. I did find one, for 10% off of my purchase, knocking $4.00 off of my total! The last three times I have purchased items online, I have found coupon codes from RetailMeNot. It pays to check on coupon codes!
