Swagbucks Has Coupons!

Posted by shopaholicsavers on February 2, 2011 No comment

I am so excited that I have discovered that Swagbucks has coupons! You get ten Swagbucks for every coupon you print through their site and use at the store. They say it can take up to six weeks to receive credit but the good part is that they seem to be using coupons.com coupons so instead of printing them off of coupons.com I can print them through Swagbucks just as easily and get an extra reward for using coupons I would already be using! If you haven’t yet joined Swagbucks you can join through my referral link

Frugal Reading- The Complete Tightwad Gazette

Posted by shopaholicsavers on February 2, 2011 2 comments

If you are trying to save money or live more frugally I am telling you that you NEED to get the book The Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn. It is written by Amy who formerly published a famous newsletter about saving money. She shares all of her family’s ideas for saving money whether practical, amusing, or crazy. She has 6 kids and raised them on her husband’s 30,000 per year military salary while saving for and buying a house! Anyone can find ideas for saving money in this book and if nothing else her book is great inspiration and fun to read. I recommend getting it for free from your local library!

Article “My Free and Easy Life”

(Katherine surrounded by some of her scavenged possessions)

“When Katharine Hibbert lost her job and her flat she didn’t just downsize – she decided to dispense with money altogether, living on the stuff the rest of us throw away.”

This is a fascinating article about a woman in Brittan who lives for free off of the waste of others. It makes a huge statement about consumerism by describing how she lives an almost entirely money free alternative lifestyle. While few of us would probably choose to live this way, her story will definitely make you think twice about throwing away anything that someone else could use in the future.
