Swagbucks

Here at the Cheap Moms Club, I'm all about easy. I usually don't go for the online survey sites or other shopping incentive programs because they end up taking up too much of my time for too little in return. But I was just tipped off to a site that pays me for the things I already do.

Swagbucks is a site that lets you earn points in many ways -- shopping online, referring friends, searching for hidden codes. But the easiest way is to just use their search engine. I just signed up a couple of days ago and I've already earned 11 points. Just to put it in perspective, at 40 points you can get a $25 Restaurant.com gift card. At 45 points, you can earn yourself $5 at Amazon. Granted, its not winning the lottery, but since I'm on my computer anyway, it a little extra something -- and as you know, all those little somethings can add up when you let them.

Try it out if you get a chance.
