Listia, have you heard?

I just joined the site Listia after doing a little research on it first and wanted to share with all of my readers what the scoop is on it. So here is the basics of the site, you get 100 credits just for signing up and quite a few more credits (I got over 700) by filling out information, setting your first auction and bidding on other auctions. Basically you search for things you would be interested in finding, for example I searched for iCoke pins since I can never have enough of them. The search will then bring up any of the available auctions for the items you are looking for. If you like what they have to offer you then put in your bid using your credits given to you. This is a great way to get some free items using the credits that are given you initially and then as you list things that you don't want for auction you can use those credits that you receive for auctions of items that you do want.

It seems like a really great site to get some cheap items or even free and get rid of items that you no longer want. I've decided that I will only use the site to auction off pins or coupons, just things that would not cost much at all to ship. I think that is where it could get a little sticky because you could get stuck paying a lot more in shipping then you do for an item.

Anyhow I thought I would share this with all of you. I'm pretty new to it but thought others maybe interested in trying it! Best part is you can get started for free and try a couple auctions without having to invest much time into it just to see if you like it!

If you'd like to try it out and see for yourself just copy and paste the link into your browser and check it out! http://www.listia.com/signup/626487 I hope you enjoy it as much as I have so far! Happy bidding! I currently have a General Mills free towel pin listed, something I could not use (I've already reached my 10 total) and will hoping win the auction for the ICoke pins that I could use!

Mars Needs Moms!

I've started to enter some contests even though I have absolutely no luck I figured it didn't hurt to try. So off I went entering a bunch of contests with some great prizes in hopes of winning something but not setting my hopes too high knowing my past luck. Boy was I surprised to receive the email yesterday from Xenia from Thanks, Mail Carrier! I entered a contest to win a Mars Needs Mom's prize pack and I won! Who would have thought, me the person who could be the only one to enter a contest and still lose won something! So what did I win you ask?
 Mars Needs Moms Prize Pack containing a Mars Needs Moms adult t-shirt, a Mars Needs Moms youth t-shirt and a 3-pack of Mars Needs Moms temporary tattoos!
Here is the contest that I won:

And my email saying that I won:
Surprise!

I just drew your name as the lucky winner of a Mars Needs Moms prize pack! Congratulations!

Please respond back with your size selection for the adult and the youth t-shirts (they will do their best to accommodate) as well as your mailing information and I will forward it over to Disney to send out your prize.

Thank you so much for entering and supporting Thanks, Mail Carrier, I really appreciate it!



So even if you have lousy luck like I have had, don't stop entering contests as you never know when you might win! Even a small win is still a win! I'm very excited to receive our prize as my youngest son brought the Mars Needs Mom story book home from the school library a week ago and it was such a cute story. We have been watching the previews and have anxiously awaited it to come to theaters so we can go watch it as a family! Hopefully our new t-shirts and temporary tattoos will arrive soon as it is in theaters so we can go all decked out in Mars Needs Mom gear!

Mars Needs Moms premiered in theaters March 11th in 3D! Have you gone to see it yet? What did you think?

Free Wii remote charger

Since I redeemed my bonus points at Shoppers Drug Mart yesterday for the Nintendo Wii I figured I better look at getting some more remotes and chargers but they are so expensive! One thing at a time! So off I went to search amazon.ca for a good deal on a charger. We decided that the four remote charger would be the best fit for our family of 6 at this point.
This is the one we decided to get

$29.99 with free shipping isn't too bad of a price but why pay that when we could get it for free! How did we do it? It's simple, I used the amazon.ca gift cards I had accumulated from swagbucks and ordered it for free!

What is swagbucks you ask? I'll gladly share since this is one of my very favorite websites and rewards programs.
Swagbucks.com is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called "Swag Bucks", which can be redeemed for exclusive Swagbucks.com merchandise. But in terms everyone can easily understand it's just like google, you use the search bar to look for things that you would every day anyhow and find swagbucks which can be redeemed for pay pal, merchandise, gift cards and enter into contests! There are many ways you can earn swagbucks other than just searching including doing surveys, daily polls, special offers, watching swagbucks tv, finding codes and referring friends! If you are not already swaggin' I highly recommend it, to date I have earned over $400 in amazon.ca gift cards. It is a rewards program that does work and costs nothing to join or use. There are no negative things about this program from what I have experienced and everyone who has joined has been very happy! If your not already using it why not check it out?
