I had some extra time on my hands as I waited in a doctor’s office today so I decided to clean out my purse.\u00a0 I was so excited to find a five dollar bill and a Walmart gift card that I had totally forgotten about.\u00a0 I knew we needed a bag of frozen veggies to go in the chicken pie I was planning for Friday night, so after the appointment I headed to Walmart. I was able to grab 2 bags of frozen vegetables, a bag of Twizzlers for Matt and a pack of Kool-Aid drinks for the kids.\u00a0 I still have 57 cent left on my gift card.<\/p>\n
My other use of gift cards today is a little bit confusing but even more exciting. During the past month I have been using an app called “Swagbucks”\u00a0 I can be use for shopping but I am using it to watch videos, random and not so random search of the internet and answering survey questions. So far in two months I have gained enough point and cashed in for 2-$25 gift cards to Target.\u00a0 This afternoon, I decided to place an order at Target. I had already linked by Red Debit card to my account. This gives me 5% off and free shipping. I placed in my cart a $50 Disney card and a box of baking soda. Total cost was $49.43 which I enter both gift cards as payment. I have 53 cent left on one.<\/p>\n
Total spent today ZERO and I was able to grab a couple of grocery items we are out of. I call that success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
