I confess, I’m a late adopter of Swagbucks, but I’m ready to see how this goes. I’m all signed up and have my 3 swagbucks just for signing up. I’m even setting a high goal… enough swagbucks to buy a Wii Fit.
I’ve heard that this is very doable, I just need to have persistence.
What is all of this?
Swagbucks.com is a search engine that rewards you for searching with swagbucks. These are play dollars that are saved up and then redeemed for prizes or giftcards of your choosing. A few examples:
450 points = $5 Amazon Gift Card
700 points = $5 in Paypal cash
140 points = $5 Red Envelope.com gift card
These are low prizes, but you can save your swagbucks up for larger prizes too.
How do you earn Swagbucks?
- You get 30 Swagbucks just for signing up.
- Search the web. Use Swagbucks.com (or their toolbar) to do all of your searching from now on. As you search you will earn/find swagbucks. (I just searched for the very first time after typing this and got another 5 swagbucks!)
- Shop online using Swagbucks instead of another cash back site. Get 1 Swagbuck for every $5 you spend.
Merry Christmas from Southern Savers. I pray you each will have a joyous day.
“See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.”
from “Angels We Have Heard on High”

SuperCenter vs. Grocery Store Prices
If you have been around Southern Savers for a while or attended a workshop, you know how I feel about supercenters: they can never compete with local grocery stores. However, I have noticed that many people still seem to think that shopping at supercenters is the way to go. In an attempt to prove to you that you will save more money at grocery stores, I did a little test this past week. I took all of the on-sale items at Publix and Kroger and went into my local supercenter to look at how their prices matched up. To put it simply, they didn’t.
It may seem to be slightly biased to select only the on-sale items and compare but my particular local supercenter (and I suspect yours does as well) advertises “Always Low Prices”. In other words, their prices are always as low as they will get and they will not run a lower sale. Also, as you know, I only buy on-sale items.
After taking all the listed prices, I calculated the effect of coupons on both the grocery stores and the supercenter, remembering to double where it applied. I did the math based on buying one of every item on the weekly Southern Savers list. If it was a store brand, then a comparable brand was chosen at the supercenter. The results were:
Publix On-Sale Items Plus Coupons: $139.89
Same Items with Coupons At SuperCenter: $196.80
Kroger On-Sale Items Plus Coupons: $203.99
Same Items with Coupons At SuperCenter: $243.65
This again was pretending to only buy 1 of each item, and using Southern Savers we want to stock up for 6 weeks, which would only make the amount saved greater. To put these numbers in perspective, let’s say that you went to Publix and purchased only one of the on-sale items for a month (4 weeks) instead of the supercenter. You would save over $240 a month!
I hope this is convincing and shows you how much money you could be saving. I know that the supercenters are convenient and it can be easy to shop there. But if you really want to save money, the grocery stores are really the way to go.
Let’s dispel one other myth with these numbers too: Read More→
