Snagshout is Freebie Heaven

Hunting for freebies has been one of my favorite hobbies for a long time! Most of my deals involve matching a store sale with a coupon, but finding freebies online is even better (and less work).

Snagshout is a review site that I check most mornings. They have a huge stock of ever-changing products available at a discount. In exchange for an honest review on Amazon, you can request a code and use it to buy tons of good stuff. Provided you have Prime, shipping is free and some items are too.

Anything that’s 100% free, I snag. This is most often vitamins and skincare. (Even if I won’t use it, I can donate it, so there’s no downside.) I will pay for items I actually need like a $0.99 USB cord ($10.00 cheaper than Walmart) and $0.50 gardening gloves.

Keep in mind that not every item is a bargain. Currently, they have a $899 Moped—certainly not a small purchase, but it could be good for those who want it. Searching by price will narrow down the options obviously. Personally, I don’t go over $5.00 which keeps the impulse buying to a minimum.

Completing a snag is effortless. The code is available instantly upon request, then the purchase is made through Amazon. When you first sign up, you can only do 1 snag at a time. Once the review is verified and accepted, another request can be made. I’m up to 4 simultaneous snags now because I’ve been doing it for a while.

Snagshout is definitely worth checking out if you’re a freebie fan like

Record Number of Unmarried Jewish Women

jewishsinglelady-1456258404

Jewish, female, and unmarried? Guess what, you’re not alone! In the non-Orthodox community, there are record numbers, especially for those in their 30’s and 40’s, according to a new article in The Forward.

While most women are delaying marriage so they can pursue an education/career and plan to marry later in life, it’s not always possible to find the right match when you’re finally ready to settle down. A smaller, but still sizeable, group has no interested in tradition, and are single by choice.

I think there’s nothing wrong with staying single and I applaud this article for encouraging society to stop defining folks by their relationship status. Marriage and family life can be wonderful for those who desire it, but it shouldn’t be assumed or forced on those who have other interests. If a woman chooses a career over a child, that doesn’t make her weird or crazy. It just makes her unique!

Super Savings Saturday – 2/20/16

LorealVaseline-Rite-Aid

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was all about beauty and baby supplies. I haven’t shopped all 3 drug store chains plus Target in ages, so it was busy but fruitful, with lots of good deals.

Rite Aid:

2 Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe lotions, sale price $2.99. I used 2 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $1.99 each plus $2.00 Plenti Points.

1 L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil Nourishing shampoo, sale price $3.99. I used a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.99!

1 L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil Nourishing conditioner, sale price $3.99. I used a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.99!

In addition to these items, I wanted to do the Advil cold medicine deal, but none were left on the shelf. (Good thing I have plenty of cold medicine in my stockpile because we have been sick multiple times this winter.)

lotion

CVS:

4 Eucerin Original Healing lotion, sale price $5.50. I used 4 $2.00 manufacturer’s coupons stacked with a $4.00/$20.00 store coupon. Total: $10.00 plus $10.00 ECB’s!

Nuk

Target:

2 Nuk bottles, on sale $4.75. I used 2 $3.00 manufacturer’s coupons stacked with 2 $1.00 store coupons and 10% off Cartwheel. Total: $0.38 each!

Walgreens:

I haven’t set foot in a Walgreens for many months, but I was willing to stop in after I’d heard online that people were getting free Huggies Wipes and jumbo boxes of Pulls Up for less than $4.00. Naturally, everything was long gone even though it was only 9:00 AM Monday morning. Now I remember why I stopped shopping here! Wags is just too frustrating and a total waste lately…
