mssandling says "Awesome coupon trading, deal hunting and wonderful friends." about HotCouponWorld

I love this site. It is not all about couponing, stockpiling and deal hunting, it is also about so much more. The friendship on this site is amazing.

You can go and look up your regular grocery or pharmacy, find out what deals they've got going this week, next week, sometimes 2 weeks in advance. Then you trade your coupons for others coupons, to get the items that you want, and then get things at CHEAP prices.

Just recently, Albertsons had a sale on scott extra soft 4 roll toilet paper, 10 for $10. The mfr had a coupon out at that same time, for $1.00 off one package. I traded on this site, and got nearly 200 coupons. Using a $10 albertsons store coupon, I managed to get over 8 cases of toilet paper for less than $5. YES, FIVE DOLLARS.

We do this often at HotCouponWorld. I have over 300 boxes of cereal, that not only did I not pay a penny for, I actually got over $150 in gift cards to 2 stores, for buying it. Just using coupons, and the knowledge from this site.

There is...

mssandling says "Tell everyone what you think, about this product you got FREE" about BzzAgent.com

I love this site! It has changed a lot recently, your points are now connected to mypoints, but you have access to many more rewards and point opportunities.

The site itself is a word of mouth site. You sign up for a campaign, and if you get it, your objective is to tell as many people about the item/product/service as you can, and report back every "bzz" that you have. You'll get points for each report. There is also a frogpond, which allows you to look at many different websites that you'd normally not find. You give your opinion of them, and get points for that too.

I just finished 2 campaigns, Ziploc Twist N Loc containers, and Claritin RediTabs. Both were very easy to talk about, and thus I reported alot. I was offered a campaign on a Norelco shaver, but my husband doesn't shave like that, and I can't use it, so it wasn't something that I knew I could effectively speak about, so I turned it down.

mssandling says "Too few pts per item, too many pts for reward, too much 2 ship" about Pampers Gifts to Grow Program

mssandling — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:14:08 GMT

I'm not pleased with this program. You only get 3 points for a regular size package of diapers, you need 100 points to get anything good, the lower points items (a book for 20) costs $6+ to ship, more than it would cost at any book store. The amount of points needed for a free pampers pack coupon is 125, you'd need to buy some 40+ packages (at 3 each) to get a free jumbo pack. Not bad if you ONLY use pampers, but for a parent who can't afford to be picky, you get what's on sale, have a coupon for, or given to you, it's not a worthwhile program.

That said, I logged on one night, had enough points to get the blockbuster night coupon, and when I went to click on it (it was there) it was GONE....

Not cool. Not happy. Now, I've gotta earn LOTS more points, or spend them on some toy that my kid won't like, that will cost me $10 to ship it to me... Nuh Un.

NO thank you.

mssandling says "Great laptop if you've got enough memory" about Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv6707 PC Notebook

I love this laptop. It's easy to use, easy to figure out.

I don't like that the HP quickplay comes on whenever it feels like, and it, as well as several other programs, you can't disable them in startup, unless you go to the reg, which I'm a little too challenged to try doing. the programs it comes with, for the most part, are one's I'm familiar with, although a few of them I wish came with manuals.

I like that it's not too heavy, it's got nice features that allow you to decide how much battery you use, and it's even easy enough to use, that my mother, who got an identical one, has become an everyday user.
