So, I may be the last person on the planet to discover this site, but really, this is kind of cool. Basically, you download their toolbar and use it for your internet searches and you get "swagbucks" for doing it. It takes about 10, give or take, searches to earn points, so I just search for random things. Once you win, you can't win for a few hours, so I do a search in the morning, at lunch time, and right before bed and I earn anywhere from 7 to 15 swagbucks each time. You can then use those "bucks" to purchase stuff on their site. The thing that interested me the most was for 450 swagbucks you can get an Amazon $5 gift card. I have been buying diapers on Amazon (you get 30% off for joining their mom's club and using their ship and save option) and by doing this, I won't have to pay so much out of pocket for diapers. Anyway, I started doing this 2 days ago and I already have 146 swagbucks. Those weren't all from just searching though. You get 30 just for signing up, you can refer other people and earn the same bucks they are, up to 1000 (so I had John sign up), there are also movies to watch, polls to take,and games to play (not sure that those three things are really worth my time yet). They also have special deals throughout their site that earns you more bucks if you purchase those deals. Also, if you shop online, you can go to stores through their site and earn 2 swagbucks for every dollar that you spend. I had to buy the kids some new shoes so I went to their "earn" tab, then clicked on shop, then went to Payless (they are having their BOGO sale and you can get an additional 20% off by using code 41030! then have it shipped to the store for free) bought the kids some shoes and I get cheap shoes and bucks toward diapers. I was kind of excited about it all. They also have stores like Walmart, Target, Children's Place, I tunes, and lots more, so if you do a lot of online shopping, it is totally worth the extra steps to go through their website. Anyway, if you're thinking of signing up, it would completely awesome if you would sign up through my referral link:

Let me know what you think after you tried it out. There is someone in may ward who has a goal to pay for all of Christmas this way. Not sure if I will be able to be as dedicated as she is, but I am willing to put in some time to get diapers for cheaper!
