How to Earn Rewards Testing Products

   Companies are always launching new products to see what customers like and dislike. They look for people who would like to test products for free. All you have to do is write a product review on it.

 At Shespeaks.com they want you to test their products, give your honest opinion on what you think on discussion boards, and earn exclusive deals. All you have to do is fill out a welcome survey to become eligible to try free products (such as cascade or dove). If they choose you, they'll start sending you products for keeps & you just have to fill out an anonymous survey. If you also participate in their online community sharing your experiences, you can receive coupons & special offers. Just a heads up; the more active you are in their site (w/product reviews and discussion boards) the higher your chances of being asked to test.

   A couple other sites that do this as well is Vocalpoint.com and Crowdtap.com. Vocalpoint.com is a community of moms online taking short surveys and recieving emails with offers of new product testing. Crowdtap.com allows you to join with your facebook account so you can fill out questionares to figure what products you like or dislike, then they can send you products to test. When you share your opinion you earn rewards. Your choice of gift cards, coupons and free products.

   All of these are great sites to get involved in so you can earn some free freebies, free products, free gift cards. Feel free to leave a comment on how your experiences are going with using these sites or share what free items you've gotten so far. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask or email me.

What is Couponing?

   If you don't have any idea or a very brief understanding what couponing is or how it's implimented, let me elaborate for you. It's very simple to do and not hard once you get the hang of it. It is easier when you are organized though.

   Couponing is when you use store coupons and manufacturers coupons to purchase merchandise or get discounts on products. Most people who coupon a lot understand how to get the most from their coupons. Reason is they take time to research when products go on sale at rock bottom then use their coupons to get the product for as little as possible, even free. When you really work at it though.

Is it possible to get free grocery store products with coupons?

   The answer is, Yes! Absolutley, it's definitly possible to use coupons to buy, even receive money back for purchasing their products. Coupons are used just like money.

Still Confused? Here's an example:

Buy 1 Razor for a $1.97

then use 1 coupon for $2.00 off any "specified" razor

(most coupons are found in the sunday paper and online)

Give cashier $0.00 and get free razor

   I hope that helped you with the very basics of what couponing is and how couponing works. For some it might be a little overwhelming at first but once you do it the first time you can't stop. It's so rewarding getting useful items for no cost or even getting money back. If you want to save money I would suggest couponing, it's definitly worth it when you add it up.

So pick up some papers this sunday and get your coupons. You won't be able to stop shopping.

How to Get the Free Kohl's $10 off anything $10 or more Promotional Gift card!

If you don't know already, Kohl's releases Coupons for $10 off anything $10 or more in the store. Includes clearance, regular price or discounted items. You have to spend a minimum purchase of $10 or more before tax. So as you can see this is a great offer to always keep up on. They send them through e-mail, postal mail and the newspaper once a month.

The most common way I see people getting them is through e-mail. Just subscribe to Kohl's Newsletter Alerts and you will receive them in your inbox. If you calculate right you can always walk out of there with something and pay a quarter to nothing for it all.

I will have to say it's been a great way to buying my son at least two (2) outfits every time I go and I haven't paid more than $0.65 for everything. I am lucky to receive them by mail and recently started getting them by e-mail.

If you don't know what they look like to keep an eye out for them, I'll show you:

<=The coupon card on the left was sent in the mail. It's $10 off anything $10 or more in the store. They also come in blue and green, that I have seen.

=>The coupon to the right was pasted in the newspaper. Great deal to open up to!

Last is the one in the e-mail you get to print out and use in the store. It's the same $10 off anything $10 or more in the store. I don't have a picture at the moment, but when I do I will upload it for you guys.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.


::Update:: Understand that when you sign up you will not get a coupon instantly sent to your e-mail. They will start sending you one every 4-6 weeks.

Also there has been comments on people not getting the coupon in their e-mail. I recommend going into the store and signing up in person with your email. As well as signing up for their credit card (even if you're going to get denied). It gets your address in their system, you get tons of coupons and I now get the card at least once every 2 months (sometimes more). If you have questions you can also ask the store associates. I chose to try all these things because of my friend who worked their told me to get my name and address on their mailing list.

If any one else has any more questions, please feel free to ask me. Hope this helps!

Happy coupon shopping, The Coupon Clipping Mom!
