I love freebies!

Who doesn't love freebies? I think you'd have to be pretty crazy to not like them!! I have gotten so many free things the last few months due to some of the amazing couponing sites I follow. Smart couponing and couponing to Disney (I have their blog buttons both on my blog on the right hand side) are 2 of the best sites for this information. I have a few others I follow too. Here's just a brief list off the top of my head of free items I have received!

1 FuzziBunz diaper
10 pack Tide Stain release
1 load Tide sample
Gilette ProGlide Razor (for the hubby)
Bacardi Ladies T-shirt
Secret trial size deodorant
Cheezit sample pack (4 bags of the 4 new cheese's)
Ocean Spray cranberry sparklers drink
Swiffer 360 duster
Carefree pantyliner
Pull ups wipes

Plus I got coupons to go to the store to get free items

coupon for a free Clairol Nice n easy foam dye
coupon for a free Suave product
coupon for a buy 2 get 1 free Yoplait yogurt (I can't get a free yogurt without purchase in CA due to our dairy laws)

Items on the way, that I can remember

Downy Unstoppable
Quaker oat squares cereal
Honey Nut Cheerios sample plus .75 coupon
coupon for a free Pantene product
coupon for a free Herbal Essence product
coupon for a free Aussie product

These are all just the things I can remember getting, and are fresh in my head to be on the way! So what have you got to lose? I highly suggest you follow some of these sites to find out when companies are doing amazing give-aways on Facebook! I may not get something from every single give-away I try for, but I have gotten quite a bit of good free goodies 8)

Do you collect free goodies too? Any freebie you are super excited about scoring? My favorites were the razor for hubby and the cloth diaper 8)

Follow Me Back Tuesday!

Upromise

Last night I signed up for Upromise. It's been around for YEARS, and I am sure I signed up for it at one point years ago, but I never really knew what to do, so I didn't do anything with it LOL. But I have done a bit of research and now I understand how it works, so I signed up again. Wish I had kept with it all those years ago, I think I originally signed up when they first started around 10 years ago.

Upromise helps you to save money for college, either for yourself or for your kids. Every little bit helps, right? College is already so expensive, and it's only going to continue to get worse before our kids are finally old enough to go.

The way Upromise works is you register your credit cards, debit cards, and grocery store cards with them. Then when you use those cards to shop at various restaurants, grocery stores, online stores, etc , depending on the store a certain % of your sales goes into your Upromise account.

Upromise is free to join, so it doesn't hurt to go check it out 8) There are 3 different things you can do with your money. You can have them invest it in a High Yield savings account through Sallie Mae, invest it in a 529 plan through Sallie Mae, or once a quarter you can request a check be sent to you as long as you have a minimum of $10 in your account. It's very customizable, and you can change how you want to save your money at any time too, so you don't get locked into one choice.

Another great thing about Upromise is you can have friends and family join YOUR account! So Grandma, or Aunt Sally, or whoever can also help you to save money for your kids for college. You can invite them to join your account, they register their cards, and when ever they shop at a participating place money goes into your account.

Go check it out and let me know what you think! At some point down the road I will update you and let you know how we are doing with it!
