Do you have time to save money?

So my friend Mandy (Hey girl) feels like couponing and saving money takes too much time. This is a common misconception and one that we should examine more closely. Every morning when I get online I start out at

Here I will search a little bit generally till I win. I have the toolbar so I get SwagBucks (SB) for that. Next I go to special offers where I view their special no obligation offers and earn a SB. I then click on the trusted surveys link to get another SB. Finally I do their daily polls for yet another SB. Now you could also look through the special offers and collect the easy SB's by watching videos, etc.

My next stop is MyPoints where I click on easy points then spin and win. I usually do not win, but for something that takes 2 seconds of time it is worth it to me. (BTW sign up for them if you haven't, you wont get rich but your points will add up quickly so you can get gift cards, tell em chirish1025@gmail.com sent ya.

I then move on to my email. Here I can click through all my mypoints offers (you get 5 points per email generally), take any surveys that may be in there and look at all the deals that are in there.

I go to Amazon Kindle Bestsellers and scan through their FREE books see if there is anything new that I would like.

I check all the e coupon sites (see post here on loading your card) see if any new coupons are out. Remember there are not an infinite number of coupons out. Once a manufacturer has distributed an allotted amount, the pull the coupon so it is no longer available.

Pretty easy stuff. Now there is more I do when making purchases and such, but that will be for a different post. Just following those things everyday help save me so much.

Do you have a savings routine? What is it?
