By Jeana on January 21, 2012 Leave a Comment

Plastic Jungle is a great place to turn those gift cards you win or earn from places like Swagbucks or Mypoints into something you could really use...cash. Or you can trade them for a gift card to Amazon. It's pretty easy, you just enter in your gift card information (store and amount) and they give you an immediate cash or amazon gc offer. For instance, I put in that I had a $25 Babies R Us card and they offered me $17.50 in cash or $18.38 at Amazon. Buy Gift Cards at up to 35% off to … [Read more...]

Once I knew this was possible, I decided to start sharing my weekly finds with friends, and thus I became the … [Read more...]

By Jeana on November 16, 2011 4 Comments

Just a quick tip - which some of you may already know, but this was a huge discovery for me when I first started couponing. Take a look thru your pantry and on your grocery list for the items you use the most or maybe those you just never seem to find coupons for. Look up the company online and send them an email via their "contact us" page. Make sure you always leave your mailing address in all the emails you send - even if they don't ask you for it.

As an "extreme" coupon shopper, it's always handy to have the official corporate coupon policy for any store you shop at - especially to score freebies. While you and I both know it's all legit, many cashiers and even sometimes store managers just assume that getting something for free is somehow "not kosher" and will try to give you a hard time about it. Many times they just aren't aware of their own store's coupon policy. So to keep your sanity, here is Target's Official Corporate Coupon … [Read more...]

Walgreens has finally released their official corporate coupon policy! YAY! Be sure to print this out and carry it with you if you shop there. Walgreens, in my opinion, is the most complicated and I've had the most difficult time with their cashiers when using lots of coupons. I hope this helps everyone!
