I was sure I would find some book to spend my gift card on, however, the decision was just too difficult, so guess what I ended up purchasing?
Strange, I know.
I've done a great job staying on budget for monthly groceries by using Southern Savers, but the one category I have a hard time factoring in are my co-op purchases for bread making - most often wheat, honey, and olive oil. These are larger purchases since I buy them in bulk and since they are not weekly purchases I forget to budget them in.
Thankfully, I remembered this while on Amazon and was thrilled to get 88 ounces of olive oil for free. Free shipping too! Who can beat that?
So I am still Swagbucking and have found it a super easy way to gain gift cards. I recently noticed you can earn PayPal gift cards too which would be a great way to purchase those random things I seem to love on Ebay or Etsy.
Anyone else earning Swagbucks? You can find out more about them here.

I cashed in for a gift card from Restaurant.com and now have a $50 gift card to a fancy restaurant inside a B & B here in town. $50 worth of food for free! That really helps with dates since we now have a babysitter's cost to figure in.
That's a great idea. I hadn't thought of that!
I {heart} swagbucks! I could never bring myself to pass up books for olive oil though, budget or no budget...heh-heh... you are one strong woman!

PS Do you have a Sam's or Costco account? They have good prices on big jugs of olive oil & honey. That's where I get mine.
