Happy 2nd Birthday, Swag Bucks, and thanks for another day (and another year) of birthday gifts!  Swag Bucks, a search portal that pays everyday internet users like you to use their search engine, released Swag Bucks 3.0 today AND…a swag code worth 60 Swag Bucks for new members!!  (For those of you who already enjoy the perks of Swag Bucks, SBs are now worth ten times their previous value…though prizes cost ten times more than before, so it all evens out.)

If you’re new to Swag Bucks, click HERE to register (it takes less than a minute), and enter the IMOMMIES1 code to start off with 60 Swag Bucks.  (In case you’re wondering, 60 Swag Bucks is enough to purchase one of a couple hundred of the lower end prizes, including a $5 DiNG gift certificate.)

All users can follow Swag Bucks today on their blog, Twitter, and Facebook to earn more free 2nd birthday Swag codes!

What else is new/happening today at Swagbucks.com?

1.) More ways to earn Swag Bucks every day: With Swagbucks.com 3.0 users will be able to earn by logging in to the Swag Bucks toolbar on their browser and also by simply viewing ‘No Obligation’ special offers. This means that in addition to all the regular ways to earn, the more you are engaged with Swagbucks.com, the more you will earn!

2) New look home page, Swag Store, and rewards store: Swagbucks.com 3.0 will include a revamped, cleaner interface that promises to provide a better user experience.

3) Launch of the Swagstakes Portal: Swag Bucks currently runs about a dozen on-going sweepstakes (called Swagstakes) at any given time. With the launch of 3.0, they have a brand new, fully stocked Swagstakes portal in which there will be dozens of Swagstakes running at all times! Some contests will be limited entry (meaning a set number of entries will be offered) so the odds for a user to win are greater. The tentative list of items that will be offered during initial launch include: $100 Amazon Gift Cards, Sony Bravia 32″ TV, Amazon Kindle, Apple iPod Touch, Flip Ultra HD Camera, Panasonic Blu Ray with Remote, Apple iPad, Sopranos Complete Series Box Set, Rachel Ray 10 piece cookware set, Playstation 3 system + games bundle, Canon Powershot Camera, Seinfeld Complete Series DVD box Set, Vizio 22″ LCD TV and plenty more!

The $15 coupon from The Limited is back again! There’s no minimum purchase requirement for using this printable coupon – customers may select any regularly priced item, and take $15 off the purchase price (if the item is $15 or less, it’s free). An individual item priced at or above $100 will qualify for a $30 discount. Unlike the last coupon, the discount excludes markdowns and accessories, so no free jewelry or sunglasses, but you could probably find a cami in the $15 range.

Click HERE for the printable coupon.  Click HERE for the store locator.

If you received this coupon via direct email from The Limited, you should also have a coupon code (restricted to one-time use) that can be applied to online purchases.  The coupon linked above, however, is only valid in stores.

Hope you’re all doing well with your Christmas shopping!  I’m a little behind this year, so let me know if you see any must-haves!  This isn’t one of those “gotta have it” items, but if you’re out shopping anyway (anytime through December 24th), visit your local Hallmark Gold Crown store with a printed coupon and take $5 off your purchase of $5 or more.  Even if you’ve already finished your shopping, you can still pick up a greeting card or a small ornament for a gift topper.

Thanks to Maven of Savin’ (and Yahoo!) for spreading the grilled word!  Monday, October 26th, KFC is giving away a free piece of UNfried chicken to every requesting customer.  If you experienced issues with the last KFC free meal giveaway, KFC President Roger Eaton promises this time will be smoother. 

Click HERE to access additional KFC coupons…you know, if you need more than just one piece of chicken!

Thanks to Jennifer at the Washington Business Journal for sharing this great fall treat!  Stop by your local Barnes & Noble today with a printed coupon and enjoy a free kid-sized hot chocolate and small cookie!  Print a coupon for each member of your shopping party, and be sure to check out the other printable coupons, including a coupon for Scene-It games (Seinfeld, Star Trek, The Simpsons, and Twilight).

Walgreens has five free items this week. That means you have five free opportunities to brighten someone’s day by dropping off something they can use – well, some of the items are okay, but I recommend not dropping off the Dulcolax, unless you’re REALLY good friends!  Maybe just stick with the ChapStick and Robitussin To Go!

Tips for Beginners:

• RRs are Register Rewards (gift certificates that print at the end of your receipt). Instead of paying cash for your next purchase, pay with RRs!
• Register Reward deals can be repeated, but only one Register Reward per RR deal will print in a single transaction.
• Do not use Register Rewards from one RR deal to pay for an RR deal from the same manufacturer. If used to pay for an RR deal from the same manufacturer, the completed transaction will not produce another Register Reward.
• Use Walgreens and manufacturers’ coupons to save even more money with Register Reward deals.  One Walgreens coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon may be used to purchase one item, but you can’t have more coupons than items in any transaction.

This seems a little weird to me – of all the things they might choose to give away…why free panties?  I don’t have an answer to that question (I didn’t ask them directly either!), but whatever the case, all Facebook fans of TeenFreeway will receive a free panty on 10/29/009 – or at least a message with instructions for receiving it.  (So help me…if it’s a printable coupon for a free Victoria’s Secret panty that anyone could access outside of Facebook/TeenFreeway…)

Click HERE to become a fan of TeenFreeway on Facebook.  On Thursday, October 29th, log in to your Facebook account and click the Updates link on the left side of your inbox to access the TeenFreeway panty update.

Great deal on individual-sized bottles of Starbucks Frappuccino this week ($0.29 each), and some over-the-counter medication money-makers (Zantec, Theraflu, and Triaminic). I do hope you’re all staying healthy out there, though, and have no need for any of this stuff!

Tips for Beginners:

• RRs are Register Rewards (gift certificates that print at the end of your receipt). Instead of paying cash for your next purchase, pay with RRs!
• Register Reward deals can be repeated, but only one Register Reward per RR deal will print in a single transaction.
• Do not use Register Rewards from one RR deal to pay for an RR deal from the same manufacturer. If used to pay for an RR deal from the same manufacturer, the completed transaction will not produce another Register Reward.
• Use Walgreens and manufacturers’ coupons to save even more money with Register Reward deals.  One Walgreens coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon may be used to purchase one item, but you can’t have more coupons than items in any transaction.
