Here are some other sites I've found to be helpful, and that have saved (or earned!) me lots of money.
1. Swagbucks
This is a site you use as a search engine, and a couple times a day you earn 'swag bucks' for your searches. Normally 8-12 a few times a day. You also earn one a day by voting on their daily poll, various amounts when you redeem special codes they release, complete special offers, play games, get 10 for each of their coupons you use - so many options! You can get a $5 amazon gift card for 450 swag bucks (or there's plenty of other rewards to choose from!). I haven't been doing much with it lately (other than using it for search) and I still get about 3 $5 amazon cards per month. Right now I have a little more than $200 in my amazon account from this and a survey site I belong to. That's after Tim has already bought a couple of his seminary books with the money too. I'm trying to decide if I should keep saving it up for the future, or go ahead and get a kindle. ;)
2. Ebates
If you EVER shop online, you have to use ebates! Even if you buy something from the daily deal sites in my previous post (groupon, mamapedia, etc.), you can earn a % back. Each store is different and they give a rebate anywhere from 1%-25% back (for places like Target, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, etc.). Might as well get some money back for something you would buy anyway! Plus you get an extra $5 rebate after your first $25 purchase through them. Easy to use - check it out!
3. Offermatic
This is another rebate site, that is credited right onto your credit/debit card. A fantastic site! They give you special offers when you join (1/2 off amazon purchase, $10 off a $20 purchase at Target, etc.). It doesn't only have to be online either! I recently got an offer for $10 off a $20 purchase at Walmart, so I purchased a couple packs of t-shirts that that Tim needed (and those are hardly ever on sale, but 1/2 off was nice!) - total was $20.80 (including shipping) and offermatic credited the $10 the next day, so the total was only $10.80. I've also gotten a $10 off of $20 purchase at Target (and I had another one of the same offers through another site, so my purchase was free for a dress for me and a bunch of onesies for my nephews!!). It is definitely worth looking into if you use a debit or credit card to make purchases - which is pretty much everyone nowadays!
4. Beezag
This is a site that you are rewarded for watching commercials. Kinda crazy, I know. But they give you a certain number of points for each commercial you watch, and then you earn actual cash through it (you can redeem your points when you have $8 worth). I haven't belonged to it for a long time, but just watch them if/when you have a few minutes to spare! They also give offers for 10% off certain online stores, sweepstakes entries, and sometimes deals like $25 off a $50 purchase at certain places. Not my favorite thing ever, but it's a good thing to check out.

Daily Deal Sites
1. Groupon
Probably one of my favorites. They have a wide selection of local offers everyday, at half price or more! I've gotten $20 to everydaysource.com, Tim got a $15 credit for ebay, and they are always offering 5 Blockbuster kiosk rentals for $2! I've gotten all of those - all for free through credits I had earned.
2. Mamapedia
I've gotten a lot of deals through them - all for free. If you sign up through my link, you get a $5 credit on the site, so you can often score deals for free. Once one friend signs up and makes a purchse through your link, you get credits. Spread the word to give your friend free credits and earn your own deals at the same time!
I've gotten a bunch of kids DVDs, $30 to spend at shoemall.com, a couple magazine subscriptions, gifts, and other deals - all for free!
3. Gaggle of Chicks
This is another site like mamapedia, but I don't like it quite as much. I haven't found the deals to be things I am interested in, but I have gotten some good things through them - kids DVDs, and a free photo book of our wedding (and a book for my nephew). Definitely worth checking out! If you use the link, I know you at least get $5 of credit, but sometimes they give a special and it's up to $10!
4. Eversave
Another site like groupon - there's a LOT of them out there now! You automatically get $2 (sometimes up to $5) for joining through a friend's link, and they have lots of fun deals. I think that's been my favorite site of all. I've gotten a LOVE wall hanging with mine and Tim's name engraved, monogrammed purses for my sister and I, and some other fun things - of course using credits when they had specials, so it's all been for free as well!
5. Tippr
Yet another daily deal site. It hasn't had as many offers, but still some good ones out there. I got $20 to my favorite bakery and $25 to a Thai food place (looking forward to visiting there this summer!) for a grand total of $2 after some credit when I joined. If you join through a friend's link (feel free to use mine!), you automatically get a $5 credit.
6. My Fox Half Off
This site is closely tied with tippr, but is only available, as far as I know, to the Detroit area. I got a $5 credit when I joined through a friend's link, and then they had an offer for $10 at Nestle Toll House Cafe in Troy for $5, so it ended up being free! Looking forward to using that one with Tim this summer as well.
7. Deal Pulp
This is another helpful site, though they only offer one deal per day, nationwide. I've gotten a $20 credit and free shipping to dollardays.com (that was a fun one!), a free box of clothes from thredup.com for my nephews, and a few others I can't think of right now. Definitely worth checking out - I think you'll enjoy their unique deals!
Again, if I think of other good sites, I'll add them to the list! :)

Reward Sites to Get Free Stuff!
1. Kraft First Taste
Is a GREAT site for completely free products. So far I have gotten 3 free products in the couple weeks I have been with them. You just sign up with your email and they will occasionally offer you a new product they are launching (be sure to check back on the site to claim them!). I've gotten coupons for free shredded cheese, dessert Temptations, and some new cream cheese spread. Easy way to try new products for free!
2. Pampers
This is a rewards site for those who buy Pampers diapers. But if you don't (like me!) don't worry, you can still earn points through online codes they release. The blogs mentioned here post whenever new codes are available. I've already gotten a free Venus razor through them, and I'm looking to get some toys for my nephews next! It only takes a few minutes to put the new code in - really simple!
3. Huggies Rewards
Huggies has a site just like Pampers, the only difference is that they also have instant win games to win different gift cards. Through those I have already won a $10 Starbucks gift card and a $10 visa gift card. Worth checking out if you have a few minutes to play the games once you have a code (or save up all your codes and play a bunch of times at once!).
4. Recycle Bank
This is a unique site that earns you points mainly through recycling with your local recycle site and through the purchase of various recycled products. Since we don't have those here, I just earn through online offers they have (mostly clicking through a tutorial about recycling, etc). For rewards, you get coupons for certain products. Only some are free (depending on your zip code), but they offer high value ones like buy one get one free Coke products, buy one get one free at Olive Garden, $10 off at Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc. Definitely worth checking out. I'm saving my points to get some good coupons when we're back in the States!
5. Disney Movie Rewards
This is another rewards site, similar to the ones mentioned above. The only difference is, when you buy certain Disney Movies, inside they offer a code to redeem (normally about 4-5 movies = 1 free one). They also offer online codes (which is what I collect) and I have already earned enough for a free DVD through just the online codes. Now I'm trying to decide which one to get! Definitely helpful if you own a lot of Disney movies!!
I'll add more as I think of these sites, but those are the best ones that come to mind right now!

You MUST Follow These Blogs!
I have found these blogs/sites to be the most helpful in money-saving ways.
1.Mojo Savings
I think they're my favorite savings site of all. They are always updated - even late at night!, and post freebies, good deals as well as contests. They're the best.
2. Hip 2 Save
They do well with keeping up to date with interesting deals and their freebies are always reliable. I've never ordered one from them that hasn't come true! They don't update quite as often as mojo, but I still find unique links on there, and they have lots of giveaways!
3. Money Saving Mom
Even though I'm not a mom, I like this one! She has a lot of good advice, special deals as well as fun do-it-yourself projects. Definitely worth checking out!
I follow each of these on facebook, so I don't have to check each site multiple times a day. Just check facebook to see what deals are available!! Hope that helps!

More to Come . . .
I know I have not posted for a couple months, and I do apologize for that! I just haven't had the time to keep up with all the deals along with normal life!
I have had though, many people asking about where I get my good deals and how to find them. I hope to at least post in the next few weeks some of my favorite sites to follow, maybe some of my favorite blogs, and even some of my new favorite decorating/do it yourself blogs and ideas. That way I can send people here when they're asking, instead of explaining it all to each person who asks!
So stay tuned . . . I will try to get more posted in the near future! :)

$30 from Proflowers.com for $15!
I haven't used this site much, but Ruelala.com is currently offering a code for Proflowers.com worth $30, but you only pay $15!! Definitely a good deal if you already plan on sending flowers for Valentine's Day next week! :)
Update on P&G
Parenting Early Years Magazine
I guess magazines are the item to get today! Eversave is currently offering a 2 year subscription to Parenting Early Years magazine for $5. You'll need to choose the Providence, RI deal and it should come up on the sidebar. If you are new, you get a $2 credit (but they don't allow you to use it on this deal), but you can use the coupon code TOUCHDOWN to get $3 off the purchase, so it costs just $2 for two years!!
