Pinecone Research is accepting new members!

I have blogged about Pinecone Research before.  It is one of my favorite survey companies.  You receive $3 compensation (through Paypal or via check) for every survey that you qualify for.  The payment comes quickly, too!  I have been with them for several years now and they’re a great site.  You can only get “in” with them during periods when they are actively recruiting new members and I received an e-mail from them letting me know that they’re looking for more people! 

If you aren’t a member of Pinecone Research yet, now is your chance!  If you’re looking for other great survey sites, be sure to check out Opinion Outpost and Mysurvey.com.

Dear MELISSA:
**It’s not too late to take advantage of this special opportunity to refer households to apply for membership on the PineCone Research panel.**  If you have already assisted with this effort – thank you and please feel free to disregard this email. 
PineCone Research is growing and we invite you to help!   We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household. 
Do you know of households that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? If so, please FORWARD A COPY of this email to each household you would like to refer so that they may click on the registration link shown below.  That household should complete the registration form themselves and submit it.

MORE Walgreens deals?!

I can’t believe what an awesome week it is at Walgreens and it just keeps getting better!  Make sure you check out my weekly deals post so you don’t miss out on the other great deals this week!

If you need to stock up on cards for Father’s Day, graduations, weddings, or birthdays, there is an unadvertised deal that is perfect for you:

Buy 3 Hallmark cards, get a $2 RR
Buy 5 Hallmark cards, get a $4 RR

Some stores have cards that are priced at just $.49!  If you can find these cards (I could never find them at any of my stores the last time they had this deal), this is a moneymaker for you.  Even if you can’t find the $.49 cards, there are a lot of cards priced at $.99, so it still ends up being a good deal!

Here’s the breakdown:
Buy 5 Hallmark Cards – $.49/each

Spend $2.45, get a $4 RR
Final Price = $1.55 moneymaker!

Buy 5 Hallmark cards – $.99/each

Spend $4.95, get a $4 RR
Final Price = $.95 ($.19/card!)

(Thanks Savvy Spending!)

Yesterday, I posted about the trial sized Neutrogena items that are only $.79 and are working for the buy 3, get a $10 RR deal.  Smart ~N Savvy Savings posted this picture on her blog, so you know what you’re looking for!

There is also a $10 Neutrogena Mail in Rebate when you purchase $30 of Neutrogena facial moisturizers and teratments.  I don’t know if all of these products will qualify for the rebate or not, but if you’ve got the receipts, it’s worth sending them in to find out!  Purchases must be made between 6/6/10 and 7/4/10 and submitted by 7/18/10.
