Thanks! Had a GREAT coupon day at the grocery store... $39.56 in coupons, even more after the store card but I don't count that in my total. I am disappointed, though... I should have had about $4 or so more using my store card loaded with UPromise e-coupons but that didn't work. Sigh.
$1200/$1200... October trip goal met!
$1220.56/$3500... only $2279.44 to go for 2012 trip!

Great job. I am disappointed that Meijer dropped out of the upromise coupon program...that is where I shop most of the time.

I bought my plane tickets last night!!! I decided that if I could use my consignment money for it we'd go... so if I could find airfare for two for under $600. I was shocked at prices I found, SO high. Nonstop was $400+ per ticket! Maybe some great fare sale will be coming, but I also fear prices going up due to fuel costs. So I booked two tickets with a layover for $498.60. Woohoo!
Added $5 from Swagbucks and $3 from Pinecone Research...
$1228.56/$3500... only $2271.44 to go!

My daughter is disappointed about a layover in Baltimore (just under 3 hours), but I told her it would be a good time for lunch, checking out gift shops, and using my iPod to watch a movie. She suddenly decided it was OK! (She is desperate for an iPod... she is 6.5! Silly girl...)
Added $19.27 from Quick Rewards and $10 from ePolls.
$1257.83/$3500... only $2242.17 to go!

Wow! I didn't realize upromise yields so much! How long did it take you to build that much with them? I might have to give them a try.

jamaica4god, I am not sure! I have been a member for a long time, doing surveys through eRewards for UPromise money. I don't get much anywhere but surveys. But the eRewards surveys pay a lot, but then you get far less when you transfer them to UPromise. Like $30 eRewards buys $5 UPromise. At least a few years, I guess. I have another $20 or so in my UPromise account...
