You can even earn for searching the web! 

If you've never tried Swagbucks before because you didn't know where to begin, their Team Challenges are a great way to learn the ropes and earn points towards free gift cards and PayPal cash! The challenge runs from Monday, August 6th to Friday, August 10th.

Building my Stockpile on a $20 Weekly Budget: Week 2

Today I went to Walgreens and added these items to my stockpile.  I went over my $20 budget a bit.  I spent $22.31.  However I was able to add 8,200 points to my Balance Rewards Balance, and received $2.99 in register rewards to use next week!  Hopefully as I roll my points and register rewards forward, my weekly hauls will get bigger!  Here's the breakdown:

• 5 boxes of Puffs Tissues and 5 bottles of Dawn Dish Soap: $0.99 each and I received 5,000 Balance Rewards Points for buying 10.  I used 2 coupons for $0.25 off Puffs = $9.40/10 ($0.44 per item after points)
• 2 bottles of Soft Soap Body Wash: $3.99 each and I received 3,000 Balance Rewards points for buying 2 = $4/98 ($2.49 each after points)
• Mentos Now Mints: $1.99 and I received a Register Reward for $1.99 = FREE after Register Rewards!

Building my Stockpile on a $20 Weekly Budget: Week 1

I have a pretty tight budget!  I want to build a stockpile with very little money.  I have budgeted $20 a week for this purpose.  So each week, I am going to see what I can add to my stockpile for only $20.  I will usually shop at Walgreens since in my opinion that is the best place for couponing in my town.  So I hope you will follow along with me each week!  I would love to see what you can score for $20 too!

This week, I checked out the Walgreen's ad and Coupons.com as well as the coupons that can be clipped to my Balance Rewards card.  Here's what I was able to buy for $20.66 (I went over a bit)

 

 

 

Here's the breakdown:

 

• Charmin Toilet Paper 12 Double Rolls:  $5.99 -$1.00 online coupon clipped to my Balance Rewards card = $4.99
• Sparkle Paper Towels 6 rolls: $5.00 - $1.00 coupon from Coupons.com = $4.00
