Going Silicone!

Yup, I have decided.... I'm going 100% Silicone...

I'm talking about cooking items, what were you thinking?!

I have already changed my baking rack to a silicone baking rack, and I couldn't be happier with it!

No more peeling, rusty, gross wire rack any more... I think I could've bought 1/2 dozen of these silicone ones in all the years I have purchased various wire racks!!

I recently purchased a silicone spatula and spatula spoon. LOVE THEM!

Now I'm going to purchase at least one new kitchen item every other month using my Swagbucks Amazon gift cards!!

Down below I have linked the items I plan on getting!!  I know they seem to be more expensive... but I seriously replace my baking sheets and utensils about twice a year. It sucks! I'm tired of the way the look only after a couple of uses, how they scratch up and rust... YUCK!!

I can't wait to get all of these things... oh and I linked a cookbook... I have one very similar, I think I purchased mine when I was about 19 or 20. So mine is pretty tore up, spilled on, and well used. I love it!

Search and Win - YES it really does work!!

Last March I ran across someone talking about a 'search and win' site... I was like OK what is the catch? I did some research and even found a video from a new station that tested out Swagbucks!

Swagbucks is one of many search and win sites, but honestly been the easiest one I've tried, and I've tried a couple since finding swagbucks.

So basically you just use their toolbar search like you would 'Google' and sometimes you win Swagbucks. You accumulate these Swagbucks and then trade them in for prizes - me I pick Amazon and Barnes and Noble gift cards.. there are Starbucks, Target, Walmart, iTunes, too many for me to list... Amazon is the easiest at 450 Swagbucks for a $5 gift card. When I 'search' I use the toolbar as a spell checker, or if I want to go to ebates I type in ebates in the search bar, I never type in the web address of anything I want to go to anymore, because I can easily win Swagbucks by searching where I want to go! :)

You can also win Swagbucks but finding codes that they put out throughout the day. By watching what they call SwagTV, doing trusted surveys, daily polls, daily deals, NOSO (No obligation Special Offers) and Special Offers.  Now if you hit the link for NOSO, Daily polls, Trusted Surveys, and refresh your toolbar everyday you win one point for each of them.

If you have people sign up under you, you win their searching points up to the first 1000 points.

Best way to get points is to link your Facebook account with your Swagbucks account. This way you will get more referrals. They hit your link, sign up and if they start searching... points for both of you!  You will want to like 'swagbucks' and swagcodez on facebook too for alerts of Swagcodes.

Honestly it's free money! I'm going to post a picture of what I just received today, all using gift cards I earned in just 3 months.  FREE!!

I also earned enough Swagbucks to buy Barnes and Noble gift cards and traded those in to get my step-daughter a NOOK for Christmas - YES, A $140 NOOK!  I also earned enough to buy my sons 12th birthday gifts, all magic stuff $45 worth, my daughters 4th birthday gift, almost every single one of her Christmas gifts, (approx $100 worth) and about another $40 for the boys Christmas gifts. Without Swagbucks Christmas would not have existed... we were even approached about being placed on a list to receive presents for the kids and we were able to turn it down thanks to my Searching and Winning with Swagbucks! No joke.  No spam, no cookies, no not joking totally serious!
