Expired Coupons

We all have them... mounds of them. A reader has sent in a tip on what to do with all of those expired coupons, other than using them as fire-starter.

Monica says:

Expired Qs can be used over seas up to 6 months after their expiration date.
Army Community Services (ACS) provides several services to the military community and supply bins that people can go through to get coupons on overseas Bases and Forts.
You can send you expired Qs to:

ACS
UNIT 29623 BX 62
APO, AE 09096-0062

This address is for a specific unit that's main base is in Germany. Several of their troops are either being or are deployed to other areas leaving their families behind.
Please help in one little way by sharing your expired Qs!


Thanks Monica! Hope Mommy Octopus readers can help!

Making Money With Surveys

I've had a couple emails recently asking about ways to make money from home using surveys and such. I do several survey groups and have made some money, but it's not something you'll "get rich quick" from. It doesn't take much time at all, and it may take a bit to earn enough for a reward, but in the end, you're not out of pocket anything but a few minutes of time.

Here is a list of companies that I have worked with and would recommend:

SayNation

Opinion Outpost

My Surveys

Just keep in mind you will not earn a ton of money, but it's a nice little extra, and it does add up.

Reminder: Couple Days Left Before Amazon Giveaway!

Just a reminder to make sure you've entered our Amazon Giftcard Giveaway. Someone is going to win this very soon!

Good luck!

Cheap Games!


I ventured out to Target today with coupons in hand looking for the travel games. I was able to pick up Pictureka for my kids for 24 cents!!! Now that's a deal! Just PRINT THIS COUPON and take it to Target to score this deal! I'm sure Walmart and other discount stores will have it cheap as well. Take the other toy/game coupons with you just in case as you never know what the clearance or travel area may hold!

Consignment Fun!

Sorry for the lack of posting today - I've been enjoying myself at the local consignment sale. Great way to get gently used items for the fraction of the price! I found some great deals for my kids!

It's a Mega Swagbucks Day!


I love Swagbucks. I have been a member for just a few months and have earned over $100 in Amazon giftcards! Not bad!

To be honest, I was very skeptical to start, but now I know it works. All I do is use Swagbucks to search things on the internet. They also have bonus swagbucks on facebook and their blog at random times. I definately recommend giving it a try!

On Fridays, it's Mega Swagbucks Day so you can earn up to 100 swagbucks! Awesome!
