It’s Mega Swag Bucks Day!

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 06:36 AM PST

Today is Friday which means it is Mega Swag Bucks Day! That means Swag Bucks is giving away upwards of 400,000 Swag Bucks today – and you can earn anywhere from 30-1000 for one search.

What are Swag Bucks, exactly? They are electronic bucks that you earn for searching the web – something that most of us do every day right? You can then redeem these for items such as Amazon.com gift cards, Starbucks gift cards, Southwest Airlines credits plus more. Further increase your chances of earning bucks by referring friends, using the Swag Bucks toolbar, following the Swag Bucks Twitter stream, and reading the Swag Bucks Facebook page and blog.

I have been using Swag Bucks for awhile now, and I love them! My favorite items to save for are Amazon and Starbucks gift cards, and Southwest Airline vouchers.

If you aren’t already using Swag Bucks, learn more and sign up here.

Disney On Ice and Feld Entertainment is donating 500 ticket vouchers to be handed out in exchange for unopened packages of diapers. The tickets will be good for either the Wednesday (1/19/2011) or Thursday (1/20/2010) night performance of Disney On Ice presents Princess Classics. Limit of 2 vouchers per family.

Stop by the Nationwide Arena’s box office lobby on December 11th, 2010 between 10 am and noon to donate diapers and receive your free voucher. The YWCA Family Center especially needs Pull-Ups in sizes 4, 5, and 6.

Kroger and Chex Cereal have joined forces to help you whip up recipes for your holiday entertaining that are quick to prepare and easy on your budget! I love making Chex mix – for parties, for my 4 year old’s preschool snack, or just to have on hand at home. They are quick and easy to make and even picky eaters can usually find some element of the mix that they like. :-)

Here are two mixes that you can make in the microwave in 15 minutes:

Starting today (12/2/10) through December 25, 2010, the Kroger family of stores will be offering Chex Cereal an their lowest prices of the year! Pair these low prices with coupons (find Chex Cereal coupons here) and you can score a great deal on this cereal! You can visit Kroger and Chex on Facebook to"Like" their pages and keep up with recipes, news and the latest product information.

My personal favorite when it comes to Chex recipes is Chex Muddy Buddies (otherwise known as puppy chow or monkey munch!). What’s not to love when it comes to chocolate and peanut butter, paired with nice crisp Chex Cereal? YUM! As you can see from the pictures below, I had a little help making them tonight. :-)

Here is the recipe:
