Free Money & Large Savings?

Today, I just started following the Bargain is the New Black blog and when perusing the blog, I discovered a Swag Bucks program. It seemed like a fun and FREE program to join. I'm playing with it a bit now... I'll keep you posted on how I feel about it after I get into it more later.

Being that I have a tight budget to stick to, anything that can save me money and can get me free things is worth a read, right? I really need to dedicate a Sunday afternoon to coupon clipping and bargain searching. =) The writer/founder of Bargain is the New Black saved $12,169.96 and spent $2,291.47 and received $498.21 back in rebates.

So far, for 2010, these are her numbers:

Savings - $3654.47
Spent - $575.26
(savings 86%)
Rebates - $75.88

This is her savings this year on all grocery, health/ beauty and household consumables.
Amaaaazing. Hopefully, I can start saving that sort of money soon!! I'm definitely going to try! =)
