Amazon Gift Card Giveaway (4 Winners)
Yesterday I got a few $5 Amazon gift cards post to my account through Swagbucks, so it’s time to do another giveaway.
Just an update on me, I’ve been sharing a few things about myself on Facebook that everyone has been so supportive and understand about, so here is what’s going on this weekend:
This weekend I am getting my OWN apartment (first time) I feel like a kid. We are basically moving just a few things into a bigger space. So it will be a good move, just trying to get furniture and other things will be tight. We will definitely be doing some Craigslist shopping since we need all furniture as well as stuff like microwave, plates, forks, spoons… *sigh* the list goes on.
I’ll do my best for some updates on the weekend, but I should be back and ready on Monday. I have several giveaways lined up, so hopefully that will make it up to you.
Also, I mentioned trying a new diet and medication to help me. I’ve been working hard the last two weeks and I’m down 6-8 pounds!
Now onto the giveaway…
Amazon Gift Card Giveaway
I am giving away 4 $5 Amazon gift cards to 4 lucky winners. This should help you on any purchase you are making. I like to buy used DVDs on Amazon, they are basically brand new and you can find great titles for $5-7 shipped! Recently I purchased Blast from the Past and The Break-Up.

Congrats on all your successes! I’m glad things are well. Please make sure you are consulting your physician about your diet. There are a lot of greedy, heartless people looking to take advantage & knowingly sell dangerous products.
Congratulations on moving to your first apartment Matt! Also, great job with the weight loss! I will be spending my weekend at home, as usual, listing items to sell on Ebay. Hope all goes well with your move and that you find all the stuff you need to fill it! Have a great weekend!

It is my first weekend since back to work…the weather should be fair and I have some outside painting to finish for my mom. I hope to get that done.
So, I am curious about the new diet and medicine. Any information or help you can share? Congrats!
Try the local thrift shops for some of your household needs and garage sales. The free or give away ads on CL and the newspapers are okay for stuff that “will do for now”. This weekend I will be doing the same thing, looking for stuff for my new town house in my new city. Kudos on the weight loss, you should be very proud of your self! Oh yeah, garage sale left overs can be pretty cool and inexpensive. Happy hunting!
I always use Amazon gift cards to buy books that I have been wanting and I save them up to cover the shipping. You might also want to check ebay classifieds or yardsellr.com to look for the items you need.
Yippee! Moving! So much fun (not!), but so, so exciting. I hope you love your new home.
moving up to the university of iowa this weekend… hell yes!
I just finished moving back into the dorms, this is my junior year of college. (Woot!) I also received an email from Napster saying my MP3 had shipped but we’ll see.
Try Freecycle.org for apartment items. It’s all free and fun.
We moved over 3 years ago to our first house and it has been the best! We traveled 2K miles with a U-Haul and our cars hooked on the back.
The moving not so much fun, but once you get the most important things settled you will thank yourself a million for making the move.
Well, I finally had pre-ordered a Kindle, now I need some books to have on it so I’ll be set! Thanks for the chance to win!! purposedrivenlife4you at gmail dot com
I could use them for sure
Congrats on your move and weight loss

Good luck on your move!!! I finished my first week at my new job, YIPPEE!!!! My brain is definately ready for the weekend LOL.
Crab cookout tomorrow!!! Cant wait!! Would use the certificate to get my little one a word world dvd, he loves that show! Pretty good show for those of you with young ones!! Have an nice weekend! Good luck with you move and congrats on the weight loss!
Hope it all works out!
This weekend is a relaxing weekend after the first week of school. I think im going to take the kiddos to the zoo and to the local splash pad. Being a single mom of two I don’t usually ever get to spend money on me. It’s always used for the kids. There are a couple books I have been wanting and a gift card would be great so it will be less money out of my pocket (that i really don’t have).
On the diet part, I hope you share some of your secrets with us. I could use them!! There is also a group on Yahoo called “Yahoo Recycles” You could also try there to look for some great deals. I have gotten some great things off there and some new things too! Good luck!
This weekend we are going to the movies to see Lottery Ticket!!
We’re poor so that’s probably about all we’ll be doing lol.
aamazon
