Big Pimpin'

Yes, that is a banner ad you see to the right of this post.

I promise I won't become a corporate shill but you can blame this on my friend, Dubba. She is a coupon queen and has gotten me hooked on this new thing called Swagbucks. If you use swagbucks.com as your search engine, you can earn swagbucks which you then redeem for things like amazon gift cards.

I'm trying to earn my way up to enough amazon gift cards to buy a fancy Cuisinart toaster oven that I've been eyeballing. It will take me until approximately 2013. It's the kind of thing that if I just went and bought it, NoodleGuy and I would have an annoying conversation about needs vs wants. And I am extremely responsible with money - for Pete's sake, I max out my 401k and IRA contributions every year - so I don't need that lecture about replacing our disgusting, gross 5-year old $10 toaster oven. So, see? This is only in the interest of marital harmony!

I feel dirty.

  1. Haha! I've been eyeing a couple toaster ovens for 2 years now, and can't bring myself to spend the cash b/c I'm sure I'll end up with a dud (reviews are so mixed), or the 1 in 100 that end up burning the house down. If you do get it soon, make sure you post a review :).

  3. stinkerbean, are you really looking for an update on the toaster oven? or on my stimming ;) If the former, I'm 11 swagbucks into the 1500 I need for the toaster oven. I was not exaggerating with the 2013 estimate! For stimming, see most recent post, just updated! ;)
