If I save enough $$$ Im buying a Batmobile!

WOW! I have not been to the movies since Sex and the City and I am so glad I haven't wasted any money from then till now on any others because this one was worth every penny! Glade and I don't go to the movies often so when we do its a big deal for us. We did a little exchange this weekend with our friends. We watched their little boy Saturday while they went and saw the movie and then they watched McCoy while we went and viewed it. I must say I was completely impressed. I also am a bit embarrassed to admit that I have not seen any of the previous Batman movies so I didn't have anything to compare it too but I still thought it was amazing. The special effects were jaw dropping, the main characters were great and there was never a dull moment. Glade and I really enjoyed our date night. We even splurged and got popcorn and drink :) of course I still snuck in our candy stash though. We can't get carried away now. LOL ;)

As for the rest of the weekend, we spent some time at the pool. McCoy is getting really brave lately. The past few times we have gone he hasn't worn his floaties and he has really been trying to swim. Of course he doesn't know how yet but as the old saying goes "Sink or Swim" and he has been sinking a lot lately and I think that is what is driving his want to try try try. I truly hope he learns how to swim at an early age. I don't want to push him but well I didn't learn how to swim until...well I really don't know how still. So yea, I really want him to pick it up sometime. LOL

Other than that we have just been working and keeping busy. I have been doing tons of research about SHOP TO EARN. It is just such an amazing program and the more I learn about it the more I want to share what I have learned. The concept of Shop to Earn is so simple. They pay me to shop! I get 5-30% cash back on all purchases made by me or anyone who shops through my site + several of the partnered retailers offer another 1-20% in-store credit for shopping at their online store. That’s CASH paid directly to my bank account for buying things I was going to purchase anyway + I get in-store credit for your future purchases. I have already done some shopping at a couple of the stores and checked out the prices on line and then gone into the actual stores to see if the savings were really that great and ya know what...Overall the biggest savings were online.



Drugstore.com is a fabulous find all store where you can get several of your daily needs (besides groc.) I purchased a few items like toothpaste, deodorant, Tums, and several other various items like these just to test this theory. Then I went to Walmart and Target and price matched. At Target every item was cheaper online at Drugstore.com than at the Target store. At Walmart every item but one was the same price or cheaper at Drugstore.com. The one price that was more online was TUMS. And that is only because Tums was on sale at Walmart that day. Drugstore.com is one of many retailers located on my Shop to Earn website. Walmart and Target are also located on my website but I chose to shop through Drugstore.com because they offered the highest cash back percentage through my Shop to Earn site and the highest in-store credit. I just think it is awesome that I get to compare and choose which one will give me the greatest savings and benefits. This was a small purchase because like I said, I mainly just wanted to test the system. Overall I only ended up spending $39.65. I saved $3.48 at Drugstore.com by going through their sale items list + I got $1.98 in-store credit. I also got $3.97 (10% cash back) from Shop to Earn. Add that up and my almost $40 bill only actually cost me closer to $30. That's a 25% savings and the best thing about it was that my shopping took me less than 10 minutes. I got the biggest savings of all on my time! I didn't have to clip any coupons, punch in any codes, or even fill my car up with gas to go the store. All I had to do was Click and Shop! I must note here that I by no means scoff at coupon clipping though. Drugstore.com and most of the online stores do offer you a chance to enter coupon codes if you have them. I personally can't keep up with coupon clipping but if you are one who does, imagine all the extra savings. Yikes, You could do some serious damage. Come to think of it, maybe I could make a little more time. LOL.

I am just so thrilled with my new found way to save. I have always been one for shopping around and have always enjoyed online shopping because it is the easiest and fastest way for me to compare prices so Shop to Earn was just an easy choice for me. I look forward to learning more about it and sharing more with you, hope you don't mind. I am just proud of my new found savings project. Its only been a week so I can't wait to see what else I can accomplish with this baby! And again if you shop online, please e-mail me and I will get you my Shop to Earn Website link so you can shop through my site. It really helps me out anytime someone clicks on my page. Thanks again for your support!


Fun Photos from this past week...McCoy loves to get into characters when he playing. He also loves for Buildabear (That's the name of his Build-A-Bear, original eh) to get into character too. Whenever we play cowboys McCoy has to dress like a cowboy, when we play football he likes to wear his Redskins helmet and when Buildabear plays sports he too has to have the matching attire for the game. This is McCoy getting ready to play trains and that's Buildabear behind his head.
