Insane Random Ramblings

No I don’t plan on providing a day-by-day account of the gift cards on sale. But since today is the first day of their blowout deal I figured I would post about it.

Today’s deal is a $10 Barnes & Noble gift card for 99 swagbucks instead of the normal 125. That’s a savings of 26 swagbucks to spend on something else. I’m not much of a book person but that’s a pretty good deal.

I plan on saving my points for a Southwest or Amazon giftcard. I guess I’ll be stalking the site for the next few weeks.

I love Swagbucks. They’re a search engine that makes searching the internet fun. They give away what they call “Swagbucks” on random searches. Then you save the bucks and turn them in for neat prizes. Starting Black Friday and lasting until January 1st, they’re going to blow out a different gift card every day.

You can even get the same gift card on different days for a different blow out price. So you may get Amazon one day for 25% off then the next week it may be 40% off of the regular price. Now when I say price, I mean swagbucks price because you don’t pay for them.

I really want the SouthWest gift card to go half off so I can get a discount on my next trip. But I surely won’t turn down a discounted Amazon gift card, I can get  a WII fit or a collectible gold coin. They’re both things that I want and have been saving for but to get them with a free gift card is even better.

I can’t wait to see what gift cards will be available.

I have a lot of gift cards. I got some for the holidays. I got some from my mom because she got them as gifts. I also have a few from my credit card rewards. I try to get cards that I think I would want to spend but I can’t always control what type of place’s I get cards for.

I have 1 for a restaurant that I don’t even eat at. Today I finally spent the last of my Macy’s gc. I started to get women’s lingerie but I quickly changed my mind. I would like to see that type of stuff in person. Instead I opted to get some lipgloss and a sweater. There was a sale on the sweater so I got it for $10. I didn’t have to take any cash out of my pocket because the card totally covered it.

I love shopping and not using “real” money. I just wish I could do it more often.

My computer desk is a mess. There is so much junk on that thing. I went to clean it mostly to get the dust off. So I start moving stuff around and I found stuff that I totally forgot that I had. I found a gift card, one of my gold chains, and $20 bucks.

The gift card is awesome because it’s for Target. I can go and buy a new pair of shoes. I looked at the heels of my everyday shoes and they are rubbing off because I’m so hard on them. I noticed that last week when I looked at the bottom of my shoes. I mean really, who looks at the bottoms of their own shoes? Well I did and I wasn’t happy with what I saw. This gift card will definitely come in handy.
