Coupons for Honest Drinks

Click HERE for coupons on various Honest teas & juice drinks. The Honest Kids drink pouches are a huge improvement over some of the more popular brands. They are organic, contain no high-fructose corn syrup and the sugar is relatively low.

Another reason I like these drink pouches is that you can freeze them to keep the rest of your packed food cold. Then when they thaw, you can drink them!

If you buy a lot of Honest Kids drink pouches, consider clicking HERE to sign up for their rewards program. I haven't used it yet, but it looks like there are a lot of practical rewards, such as coupons for free Happy Baby products and gift certificates to Publix and Target.

Thanks to Thrifty Mama!

Do You Use Swagbucks?

Are you using Swagbucks? If not, it's really worth checking into it. It's FREE and doesn't take much time to register and install the toolbar.

In a nutshell, you use the search engine on the Swagbucks toolbar (instead of other search engines like Google) to earn points called Swagbucks. You can redeem the Swagbucks for wide variety of prizes and gift cards. For me, the $5 Amazon gift card is the most practical prize they offer.

Since I joined in September, I've racked up enough points to buy 6 or 7 Amazon $5 gift cards through my normal internet searching activity. Yes, there are lots of other games and activities that will earn more Swagbucks, but I don't participate in any of that and I still earn lots of points.

Occasionally, Swagbucks will put a code worth points in your inbox on your toolbar. I try to notify my readers when this happens via Facebook so they can catch it before it expires. Click HERE to become a fan of Healthy, Green and Frugal on Facebook.

I will admit that every now and then the internet searches aren't the best, and I have to use Google to find what I need. However, on balance, I have found it to be a completely hassle-free way to earn some extra cash. It's also kind of fun to watch your point count go up. You can see how many Swagbucks I have by looking at the bottom of my page. It stays pretty low because I'm always cashing in my points.

I'd love to hear about your experience with Swagbucks. The Thrifty Mama earned enough Swagbucks in just a few months to buy a Wii Fit. What a great score!

Tropicana Juicy Rewards Coming Soon

Tropicana will soon be launching a rewards program called Juicy Rewards. You can use codes from specially-marked Tropicana products to save on activities like massages, water parks, golf, museums, and more.

Hmmm.....I think I'd rather get free orange juice, but I'm willing to give it a try. I buy a lot of Tropicana orange juice anyway.

The numbers are already appearing on the products, so hang on to them. Enter your email address on the Tropicana website, and they will notify you when the program is up and running.

Is Stoneyfield Rewards Worth the Trouble?

There are a lot of rewards programs out there that really aren't worth the hassle. However, I'd say that the Stoneyfield Rewards Program provides a decent payoff, especially if you buy organic yogurt products regularly.

Since my last post about the Stoneyfield Rewards Program in October, I've racked up 50 points just making my normal yogurt purchases. I redeemed 25 points for a free 32-ounce yogurt. A coupon for the yogurt came in the mail within a couple weeks.

My biggest complaint about the program is that the codes are very difficult to read. It usually takes me two or three tries to get the code entered into my account. Also, I noticed today that the list of rewards have dwindled a bit. I hope that my preferred reward (a 32-ounce yogurt) makes its way back eventually.

If you are saving your lids for the codes, consider mailing in four of them to get a free reusable yogurt cup. Details are on the lids of the 32-ounce yogurts.

By the way, the Stoneyfield Rewards Program ends on March 10, 2010.

80% Off Code for Restaurant.com

Enter discount code ENTREE at Restaurant.com to get 80% off restaurant gift certificates. That means you pay $2 and you get a $25 gift certificate! Offer expires November 12.

Visit Restaurant.com to see which restaurants are participating in your area. The restrictions vary for each restaurant, so be sure you are okay with them before ordering your gift certificate.

I've used Restaurant.com gift certificates twice now with no problem (Restaurant BT and Giordano's).

Purchase through Ebates to earn cash back rewards. Also, use your Discover to earn 5% cash back on charges at restaurants through December.

Cashback Opportunities with Discover Card

There are a number of opportunities to earn extra cashback rewards from Discover Card through the holidays:

• Earn 2% cashback November 15 to December 31 when using your Discover Card for clothing, shoe and jewelry purchases made online or in department stores. Click HERE to sign up for the Double Cashback Bonus program. Combine this with Ebates for some big cashback rewards!
  
  
• Get 5% cashback October through December when using your Discover Card for groceries, dining out, and movie tickets and rentals. Click HERE to sign up for this program.

Be sure to sign up for BOTH programs. You will also need to sign up again when a new program is offered in January. I got burned on this before. I thought I just had to sign up once for the rewards program in general. I lost out on a few months worth of rewards because I didn't sign up again when they changed the program.

You can also earn from 5% to 20% cashback by shopping on Shop Discover. Featured retailers include Target, Barnes and Nobel, and Home Depot.

If you don't already have a Discover Card, you can get one now to take advantage of their current sign-on bonus of $100 cashback when you make $599 in purchases. The Invitation Code is DBYF. You can combine this with the other rewards that everyone gets. That adds up to a lot of rewards!

Ebates

If you don't already know about Ebates let me give you the quick and dirty....

Ebates is a reward program that will give you cash back for online purchases. The next time you are considering buying something online, consider going to the Ebates website first to see if they are offering any special discounts and cash back incentives. If you navigate to the vendor site from the Ebates site, you may be able to earn some cash back.

Only a small percentage of my purchases are made online, but I've managed to earn more than $12 over the past couple weeks through Ebates (I bought some Crocs and a Restaurant.com gift certificate). All I have to do is say the word, and they will mail me a check or deposit the money in a pay pal account.

Sign up on Ebates now and earn $5 to get you started.

There are a number of reward programs out there as well that will give you cash back for online purchases, but Ebates is the only one I've had any success with so far.

What online rewards programs have you used? I'd like to hear about your experiences.

Publix Baby Club

If you have a child under the age of 24 months, you are eligible for the Publix Baby Club. It's free to join and you get OUTSTANDING coupons in the mail on a regular basis. The coupons are not just for baby items. In my last batch I got coupons for free hand sanitizer, free lotion, and free rubbing alcohol. There was also a $1-off coupon for any dairy item.

Click HERE to join. It's certainly worth the effort. By the way, I'm also a member of the Publix Preschool Pals program, but it doesn't come with any coupons, unfortunately.

The Swagball Effect

I thought I'd provide a little update on my Swagbucks experience, now that my newbie status is beginning to fade. Don't know what Swagbucks is? Read my post, "Swagbucks from a Newbie's Perspective".

I joined Swagbucks about a month ago and I've already gotten 71 SB. The main way I've been earning bucs is by using the Swagbucks toolbar for searches. I would be doing these searches no matter what, so I'm not going out of my way at all.

Lately, I've been getting 2 and 3 Swagbucks at a time. Today I actually got 5. Granted, Friday is Mega Swagbucks Day. Even so, 5 Swagbucks at one time was a first for me. I wonder if the more you use Swagbucks, the more you earn? Sort of a Swagball Effect.

Is anyone using Swagbucks? How do you like it?

Stoneyfield Farms Reward Program

If you ever buy Stoneyfield Farms products, consider signing up for their free online reward program by clicking here. To start earning reward points, just find the reward code on the package of designated Stoneyfield products, and enter them into your online account. For as little as 25 points you can start redeeming your rewards, which include a wide-range of products such as Stoneyfield Farms, Seventh Generation, and Annie's.

I've been waiting for this program to kick in for weeks and I finally found my first rewards number today on a 32 ounce quart of yogurt! I earned one point for signing up and four points for the yogurt.

According the the website, they currently have codes on the 32 ounce quarts, on 6oz Fat Free, Low Fat and Whole Milk cups, on O'Soy 6 ounce cups and on YoBaby Meals, Drinks and Multipacks.

The program is running through March 31, 2010.

20% Big Lots Coupon

Click here to register for the Big Lots rewards program and receive a 20% coupon (expires October 10). Here's how the reward program works, according to the Big Lots website:

Just have the cashier scan your Buzz Club™ Rewards card every time you shop. Make 10 Qualifying Purchases of $20 or more within a 12-month period and earn a 20% discount on a future purchase. Discounts are good for 60 days from the date you earn them.

SWAG BUCKS from a Newbie's Perspective

I joined SWAG BUCKS a couple weeks ago after reading about it on various blogs. It's one of those things that's kind of hard to understand until you start doing it. However, the main point is that when you use the SWAGBUCKS site to search the internet (instead of other search engines like Google) you earn reward points that can be redeemed for various things. For example, 45 points will get you a $5 gift card to Amazon.com.

One of my favorite bloggers, The Thrifty Mama said she racked up enough SWAGBUCKS over just a few months to buy a Wii Fit. I've only been doing it a couple weeks and I already have 23 points (you can see my running tally on the SWAGBUCKS icon at the bottom of this page).

If you install the SWAGBUCKS toolbar you'll earn 5 points right off the bat. Then use it every time you want to search. It's so fun to watch the little SWAG dollar pop up every so often. I will admit that the searches are a little skewed towards ads. So if you don't like your search result, just try another search engine.

There are plenty of other ways to earn SWAGBUCKS, such as shopping through their website or participating in the contests. If you're concerned about time-suckage, just do the searches to earn points and avoid all the other stuff.

Interested in trying it out? Today is a good day - Friday is MEGA SWAG BUCKS day. You are suppose to be able to earn anywhere from 3 to 100 SWAGBUCKS for searching on Fridays. I have only earned one today, though. Check my tally below later to see if I got lucky!

Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards Program

If you have some time to kill and you like playing the slots, you might enjoy the Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards program. In the amount of time it takes to take a Facebook quiz, I joined this program, racked up 24 points, and then spent them all playing an instant win game. I hoped to win a $25 Starbucks gift card or free diapers. Instead, I got to watch a cartoon baby make bubbles in the bath 24 times. If you're are interested, here are some codes that will get you started.

Codes Worth 1 Point Each

BCBCK-PXQNK-KGPGB
BCBHC-JXSNF-TWPGB

Codes Worth 5 Points Each

5% Cashback from Discover on Groceries, Restaurants & Movies

Get 5% cashback rewards October through December when using your Discover Card for groceries, dining out, and movie tickets and rentals. You must sign up each time they offer a new reward program. I got burned on this before. I thought I just had to sign up once for the rewards program in general. I lost out on a few months worth of rewards because I didn't sign up again when they changed the program.

If you don't already have a Discover Card, you can get one now to take advantage of their current sign-on bonus of $100 cashback when you make $599 in purchases. The Invitation Code is DBYF. You can combine this with the 5% cashback rewards that everyone gets. That adds up to a lot of rewards!
