Fwd: Fw: PineCone Research is Growing

Hey, Y'all!
Here's a great chance to get in on some easy money.  Well, it is not a lot of money by any means but I enjoy getting stuff for free.  Pine Cone Research conducts online consumer surveys.  Some are very interesting  and some not so much.  Regardless, you get $3 for each survey you complete.  I have completed about 20 to 25 in the last 10 months.  In addition, I have received 3 or 4 of the products that were part of a survey I completed and then did an additional review on that product and received an additional $3 for that, too.  Each survey takes about 15 minutes to complete.  I do not know if I will get anything if you are accepted to become a member of the Pine Cone Research Panel.  I am just passing it along to you for your consideration.  Not everyone is accepted.  It just depends on which demographic they are looking to add.  I think I got in because I am a little old, black, woman.  :-)

YOU WILL NOT GET RICH!  But it does pay for my newspaper subscriptions so that my coupon habit costs me nothing.  Read the attached email.  The link for registration is highlighted below.

Take care,
ShaRon, The Bizzy Coupon Bee!

CVS Primer and a litte more...


Hey, Everyone!

Don't forget to scan your CVS card at the Magic Red Coupon Center each time you go to the store.  You can scan once per day.  Remember this tip:  Keep scanning until the screen tells you there are no more coupons.  I have scanned as many as FOUR times and got all different coupons.

If the Coupon Center is out of order, tell the clerk and/or the manager.  You can always scan at another CVS.  If you find that your favorite CVS seems to have a non-functioning center more than it works, contact CVS Customer Service and make a complaint.


One more tip: join the CVS Advisor Team and score some high value ExtraCareBucks for completing CVS surveys.  I have done several and have gotten ECBs for $5 to $10 each.  The survey comes to you via email about once every 4 to 6 weeks...sometimes longer.  BUT, if you don't jump on them when you see them, their quota is soon filled and you won't be able to participate. 
Next, do you have little ones or big ones preparing to return to school?  Check out this BACK TO SCHOOL SALE which will be the first of many this month and next.  

All of the Dollar Stores (Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, & Dollar General) accept coupons.  BUT, it can be frustrating to shop there with coupons.  Why? Because, they like to play "trick the couponer" games.  The coupon may read "8 oz size or larger" but they will only carry 7.5 oz and you cannot use the coupon.  Or worse yet, they will not stock the item until the coupon expires.  I have the most success at Dollar General and Family Dollar.  Match the coupon exactly with the item and you will not have any problems.  

As far as I know, Dollar Stores do not issue rain checks.  I have never asked.  I am usually so frustrated at Dollar Tree that I just walk out with my coupons.  That is what they want.

Family Dollar and Dollar General issue their own coupons and these can be stacked with manufacturer's coupons.  Check the circulars available in newspapers and at the stores.

One last treat...
Here are a couple of coupons I just received:
FREE Pulled Pork Sandwich meal from Bob Evans (BOGO)

Happy Couponing!

Coupon Info...

Hey, Everyone...

I am so very excited  after completing a great coupon class Friday, in Greenville, SC .  There were 41 eager couponers and I promised to send out some info to each of those who supplied their email address.  So, this is what I have compiled for them as a reference. I was not going to send it out to everyone on my coupon contact list but thought that many of you may also want some of the information.

Below are some great printable web links:  Use "77477" for the zip code to get the most coupons.  Also, enter your own zip to find products that may not be available for the "77477" zip code area.  You can print two of the same coupon per computer unless it just doesn't :-)  Some of these sites will request or require your email address and a password to access their best printables.  Just whip out Great-Great Granny's email address.

      SmartSource.com

"Your Bucks" Catalinas by GroceryCouponCart.com (The "catalina" coupons print at the end of your super market sale.) 

      RedPlum.com

      Unilever.com

      Proctor & Gamble

      Target Coupons

Remember, that Target and WalMart and other store coupons can be stacked with a manufacturer's coupon for the same item.

Check The Bizzy Coupon Bee Blog for lots and lots of tips and information.
And, as always, drop me an email if you need help finding a coupon, want to share a shopping victory, or just want to say "Hey!". 

Take care and Happy Couponing!
