Let's talk reviews

If I added all the reviews I have done over the past few months (I have been doing DVD reviews for kids for a longer time) we would literally be talking thousands of dollars, that is how much Estimated Retail Value of the free stuff I am getting is adding up to.  I really kind of just fell into it, I saw a post on NCircle that they were looking for Mom's to review kids DVD's and I responded, then i started getting a free kids DVD once a month.

When I started to follow Coupon Clipinista I noticed all the talk about reviews and getting stuff free in the mail and needing Amazon Prime.  It's all mostly true.  I belong to two review sites, because those are the ones that work for me, and I also am a member of several exclusive type sites that you have to work a little harder at but that get you really nice big stuff to review.  For example here are a few of the big things I have gotten:

$200 Star Wars Toy
$80 Elmo Toy
$800 Vacumn Cleaner
$100 Soda Stream
$300 Bullet type blender
thousands of dollars in small items
hundreds of dollars worth of beauty supplies

the list goes on.

These are the two I use daily:

AMZ Review Trader (You really need to have prime to save on shipping, you also need to have a good Amazon reviewer score, you should be posting pictures and videos whenever possible to get picked for the types of things you want)

iLovetoReview  (They randomly email you when free items become available, you need o be super quick on responding to that email)

These are the sites you can sign up for and they require you to really work at getting chosen, but they can pay off big:

House Party (awesome free stuff, you need to complete tasks and usually email 10 friends to sign up for your "party" within an hour of an acceptance email)

BzzAgent (Great free stuff to try, sometimes big, sometimes small, the better your score the more you get picked, your score determined by your participation in missions)

Smiley 360 (test out free stuff and share with the world, just complete missions and get picked for more stuff)

CrowdTap (take mini polls and earn entries into monthly gift card giveaways, also partake in missions to get samples of toys and items)

So that's about it, you could also work directly with brands, I have been a brand ambassador for NCircle, Fabreeze, Snuggle, and more.

Win #303

Allure magazine opens daily giveaways up for an hour daily and all you do is submit your info and then there is a certain amount of winners that are drawn, I have done this several times, usually when Coupon Clipinista tells me to (She still has me blocked on Facebook, which is the most god awful frustrating this in the world, F*CK!)

Anyway, you don't really know that you won until it just comes in the mail, I actually scored the awesome mascara shown above!  I have all really good things to say about it too, my new faorite makeup item for sure.

So why not go check it out, it's super easy!

Win #299

I love instant win games!  I do them early every morning and they only take like 5 minutes to complete.  I use this list: Instant Wins to keep track everyday.  So all I had to do was vote and I scored a free bag of English muffins!  Not to mention my grocery store does buy one get two free, so I pretty much got three for free.  Thanks to Thomas and thanks to Coupon Clipinista for keeping all the instants logged for me.

Win #297

It's been a while since I did a Twitter Party.  I started back up because Coupon Clipinista posts them each day.  I go to the list and usually pick one or two that I can do during the day and I aim for the ones that are giving away toys or gift cards.  I joined in on the TTPM Live Twitter party and via an intense round of trivia questions was able to come out victorious with a 4 pack of Barbie Rock and Royals Mini Dolls!  Twitter parties are easy, they are just time consuming, and it's pretty much all chance, although the more you tweet and re-tweet the more you are entering.  I hope there will be many more Twitter wins in my future since I am taking the time to do them again!

Win #290

This is my second Bouncy Box giveaway that I won, this mat that I use for at my kitchen sink is a life saver and an awesome win!

Win #289

Thanks to my daily instant win list, I was able to score an awesome Gerber Chew U care package that will contain baby clothes, food and coupons!!!

Win #288 First Bouncy Box Win

If you don't know what bouncy box giveaways are you are missing out... on a lot of disappointment, and also a lot of fun.  They are easy giveaways from Amazon that anyone can host.  If you had been following Coupon Clipinista you would know what these are, they are all over her page.  This is the first one that I won, they are hard and require no skill, it's all luck lol.

Win #287

Thanks to my holy grail Coupon Clipinista I was able to easily score a full size pack of Oreo thins sent right to my door.  If you want to win things all you have to do to start out is follow her on Facebook and do what she says, im not kidding, it's really easy.

Win #278

The Coupon Clipinista posted in her instant wins section this awesome Skoal Sweeps where you can win new prizes each week.  I scored an awesome waves forever water bottle.  This is really an awesome and expensive bottle, I can't wait to get it.

Win #277

I has been a fantastic week of wins for me.  I have to thank The Coupon Clipinista for posting all of the instant wins that I wouldn't have access too with her help!  I scored a whole bunch of stuff and this one is part of the summer Corona Sweeps.  I won a pair a bottle opener sunglasses, they are a bit cheesy but my son will enjoy them I am sure!
