Well this one you will want to drop everything and register pronto!
It looks like the Sample Showcase is back and this is a seriously awesome freebie if you get selected.
How it works is that you register for the program and then if you fit the demographic they are looking for, you get a whole bunch of samples in the mail. Last time around I did not qualify but I know tons of you got these boxes and they were filled with great samples from a variety of manufacturers.
If you register now, you should get an email from them when the next batch of boxes are available. Otherwise they will announce it on the web site and you can request it at that time. These are first come first serve and I can tell you from experience the web site was a mess the last time they offered this. It is much better to get an email heads up to request your box than try to get through the web site the day it is available.
Once you register be sure to keep an eye out for a confirmation email. This does not guarantee you will get one of these boxes but it sure puts you ahead of the game.

Update: This has now closed for female applicants and is open for males aged 18-24 only.
I have had a few emails lately asking about paid survey sites. I mentioned a few companies last year but I intend to dig up a few more reputable companies again for you to check out.
It looks like Pinecone Research is open right now. This one is my favorite and I did this one personally for years. They are looking for women aged 18-24 right now.
You simply take a survey (sent to you via email) and they will compensate you for your time. I believe Pinecone pays about $3 for you to answer the survey questions. I always found that they paid very promptly which is nice.
I used to save these surveys for the evening and I would take them while I was watching TV. In my experience, Pinecone sent a lot of consumer surveys- like what do you think of the packaging on this new pasta sauce. I always found them to be fairly interesting.

I have not checked these deals out personally but I wanted to let you know about them because they seem to be working as of now:
Nescafe Tasters Choice coffee sticks are priced at $1.00 per box this week
Use the .50/1 from 2/13 RP
Pay $.50 per box
Even better these seem to be triggering a Register Reward:
Buy 2 and Get $2
Buy 3 Get $3
Buy 4 Get $4
So you should make a small profit off each box you purchase. This is supposed to be a month long Register Reward on Nescafe Tasters Choice coffee but Walgreens can change this at any time. I imagine this will be like the Fruity Pebbles cereal and most stores will probably sell out quickly.
Secondly, there is a promotion on Always that was advertised in Reader’s Digest. This was not in the weekly ad so hopefully you find this deal at your store:
Buy any 2 Always Leakguard Plus Liners 20-22ct, or driliners 30-34ct and get a $4 Register Reward.
These are supposed to be priced at $3 each
If you have the P&G sampler coupon book, use the $1/1 coupon
and pay $.50 per pack after coupon and Register Reward
See more Walgreens coupon deals and matchups here.
Thanks I Heart Wags!

Well here is nice deal if you were lucky enough to get a Big Lots ad in your Sunday paper. They are advertising Finish Quantumatic dish soap dispensers for $3.00 this week.
You can take that ad into Target or Walmart and ask for a price match. Then use the $3 off printable coupon and get them free!
*NOTE: I have posted price matching deals at Big Lots many times and there are some Walmart and Target stores that don’t feel Big Lots is a competitor so they won’t honor the price match. It seems like most people have no problem with this but it never hurts to call ahead and ask. I personally have done it many times with no problems.
(Thanks Its Raining Deals)

So I have been really reluctant to post about Shoprunner because it just seems really expensive to me. But I keep hearing raves about it from those that have signed up and today you can get the service for about 50% off.
Shoprunner is a subscription service- you pay for one year and then you get free 2 day shipping at a variety of merchants. It is sort of like Prime on Amazon- except this is not limited to just one site. You get free shipping from numerous sites like Toys R Us, Borders, Beauty.com and more…
There is no minimum purchase required to use the service- so if you wanted a $5 book from Borders for example, if you have the Shoprunner service you get that delivered in 2 days for free.
If you shop online frequently this might be a nice perk- it is normally a $79 charge for one year. Today, Rue La La is offering the exact same year membership for $39. I am thinking this would really come in handy around Christmas time and since gas is $4/gallon in my area I am trying to shop online as much as possible these days.
So you can head over to Shoprunner to have a look at all the stores they work with. If you decide this is for you, head over to Rue La La to purchase your membership.
If anyone already has experience with Shoprunner let us know what you think!

Well this seems nifty- Amazon is offering 5 GB of Cloud Storage right now for free. You can store music, photos, videos- whatever you like- courtesy of Amazon‘s datacenters. If your computer ever crashes there is a chance you might lose your music or pictures or whatever- so the cloud is a way to protect against that.
They are offering up to 5 GB of storage space for free right now- that is up to 1000 songs. If you decide to store music, you can either access via any web browser or use the app for Android. So your music is all in one place and you can pull it up using a web browser from anywhere. If you take advantage of the music storage, any new purchases from the MP3 store do not count toward your 5 GB quota.
You can upgrade and get 20 GB of storage when you purchase any MP3 from the Amazon store.
