okay everybody, I know you've been waiting ages so here it is...
IT'S TIME TO KITTENPAUSE!
Between working, not working, and not having internet because I was staying in my parents' new apartment that smells like nicotine (or whatever part of cigarettes it is that just smells awful) it seems I have gone nearly a month without a blog post, and this is just UNACCEPTABLE! Failure to make a vlog, okay that's one thing, that's a lot of editing and such. But no blog? really? FAIL
Those of you who know me (I think at this point in time the only people actually reading this are people who know me,) know that I am a coupon hound. Going out to dinner? Here's a coupon for a free appetizer. Going to the mall? Hey, I have like five free things to pick up from various stores. Grocery store? Don't buy that brand, I have a coupon for this other brand! And don't get me started about the free samples that arrive in my mailbox with a fair amount of regularity.
So how, you ask, do I do it? How do I manage to attain such a level of free stuff? I have some quick and easy rules for such attainment.
RULE #1:
If you're going out to eat someplace, and you have computer access, check their website for any free offers. Places like Red Robin and Applebee's and the like often are running promotions.
RULE #2:
Sign up for free store clubs, like Godiva's Chocolate Lover's Club (free piece of chocolate every month!), for girls, Aerie's A-List (free gift on one Thursday of your choice each month), also for girls Victoria's Secret Pink Nation, and more... (anyone have a good site? Let me know!) These give you free emails and offers, often without having to spend a cent to join the club or even purchase anything at the store (although I'm sure they want you to...)
RULE #3:
Find a good freebies blog like shop4freebies.com. This enables you to reap the rewards of free stuff without having to do all the hunting for it.
and finally,
RULE #4:
Surveys and opinion panels are a great way to procrastinate effectively. If you can get into an opinion panel like utalkback, they will give you gift cards for your time. I think there's a new site that is advertising on TV, but I haven't checked it out yet. And there's always the swagbucks method, that many of you read about on Kyle's blog. You search with their engine, and you get random points. These points let you get cool things like Amazon gift cards. The more you use it, the more chance you can "buy" stuff.
Happy free stuff-ing!
