Voting for the Plutus Awards, the 1st personal finance awards ends March 16th. I’m nominated for Best Frugal Blog, and I would love your vote!
I’m the only personal finance blog nominated in my category that doesn’t have the word FRUGAL in it!
Also be sure to stop by tomorrow for the centsible show at 8pmET. Not sure what we’ll be discussing yet, would love your suggestions!
Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday today. We are having pouring rain, and woke up to the pitter patter of little feet and the LOUD voices that accompany them.
Remember to Spring Forward! Reset your clocks if you haven’t already, and it’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Have you heard of Swagbucks? It’s a search tool for the web that rewards you with free “swagbucks” which you can use to buy prizes, “swag”, or gift cards. You also earn more swagbucks for referring friends.
It’s pretty simple to set up:
- Sign Up.
- Install the toolbar.
- Search.
- Earn Swagbucks!
- Refer friends to earn more Swagbucks!
- Redeem your Swagbucks for swag or gift cards.
I’m using my Swagbucks to “buy” gift cards which will help offset the cost of Christmas next year. I’m excited to see how much I can save. This isn’t my original idea, I’ve seen it floated on twitter before, but it’s a great idea!
This week I have been extremely busy with one thing and another, so I thought instead of creating a list of posts I enjoyed, I would give everyone the chance to leave me their favorite post from this week. Use the Linky below, and leave a link, so I can go read it!
You can leave a link for your own site, or if you aren’t a blogger leave a link to something you read that inspired you! I promise I will stop by every link and leave a comment as well.

Disclosure: Links to Swagbucks are refferal links, and I will earn some Swagbucks for you signing up through my links. So look at it this way, you have a chance to buy my kids’ Christmas gifts next year.
