A New Chapter in the Book

Proverbial book, that is, but a book nonetheless. Moving out last October has certainly put a spin on things in my world, and I'm hoping I can start documenting them more and more here, as well as most some of my wonderful ideas and recipes that some Facebookers have been dying to get their hands on.

First things first, I'd like to show off a couple of the new reward programs I am loving! The first is called Swagbucks. It gives rewards in the form of "Swagbucks" for doing simple things, such as having a toolbar, answering a daily poll, or going through a "NOSO Path," that is a path of No Obligation Special Offers. Follow the path, get Swagbucks. You can also fill out surveys, perform tasks, watch videos, etc to earn SB. Even searching with their search engine (conveniently found on the toolbar!) can earn you surprise SwagBucks.  After all that, earning points for doing simple tasks, you can trade them in for Sweepstakes Opportunities, or some cool prizes! They've got it all from stick rubber ducks for the bottom of your bathtub, all the way up to sewing machines and TomTom GPS Systems. Pretty sweet deal for just clicking through a few things a day! To help get you started I've place a widget on the right side of this blog, so all you have to do is click and start earning!

My Coke Rewards is the program I've been with the longest. Simple enough, CocaCola has printed codes on the inside lid of every Coke product, as well as on the inside of the boxes of canned products. Each code can be entered for points (minimum of 3 points per code) and you can turn these in for prizes or sweepstakes. I'll admit, MCR does have its downfalls: points expire after 90 days of inactivity, and the prizes aren't too great unless you have major luck as a Sweepstakes winner, or are a Coca-Cola fanatic. If all else fails, I would always happily accept you MCR donations. :D

Kellogs and Huggies are also companies that have Rewards programs. I haven't looked into either of these too terribly well yet, but I will keep you updated as I learn more. As always, links are provided there so you can check them out yourself!

I think that's about all for now, I'll check in later with everyone. Maybe post some more recipes later in the day. :)
