I just completed another Survey from Swagbucks Trusted Surveys and earned 250 Swagbucks!!! (which BTW was listed as only an 8% chance of qualifying!)  In just two surveys in three days, I've won enough Swagbucks for a $5 gift card for Amazon.ca. That's not including what I received from my regular internet searches, Swag codes, referrals, and misc. other Swagbucks. If you want to give it a try. I'm serious, you won't regret it!!! Just click on the banner above.  At this rate, I will be able to get my Hunny Bunny the Gary Cooper Signature collection of DVDs which include his favorite movie, "Sargent York."

We first heard about Zenni Optical two years ago from a friend. A few months later, in the middle of a church service my glasses broke in two. There I was stuck wearing my prescription sunglasses looking like I was fighting a hang-over. We were at the beginning of deputation and funds were tight. Earlier that summer Keith's frames broke and we had crazy glued them together. Since we couldn't afford regularly priced glasses, we thought we'd give Zenni Optical a try. Keith ordered a pair of frames with ultra thin lenses and two pairs of clip-on shades and I ordered a pair of regular eye glasses and a new pair of sunglasses. The total charge for all three pairs with shipping and handling was less than $150 US! Tonight, my father-in-law ordered a pair of prescription sunglasses and the total was about $30 US.

Most people who wear glasses have tried on enough pairs to know what style looks best on their face. Zenni makes it easy to choose a pair. Each frame includes the size of the width of the frame, the height of the lens, the width of the lens, the width of the bridge, and the length of the arms. All you have to do measure the frames you already have. Now you can narrow down which frames will fit you nicely. Once you choose your frames you will need your prescription. You will also need the distance between your pupils. This is something you will need someone else to do. Zenni explains how to do this. That's it. The frames range in price, but are almost all under $30 US. This includes the price of the lenses which are 1.57 index.

With the price being so low, you may even want to splurge on an extra pair to give yourself a change. We have been wearing our glasses for a year-and-a-half and the only problem we had was with Keith's clip-on shades. His glasses are rimless and so without a frame the plastic lenses of his shades didn't survive our kids. Actually, one was broken by a kid and the other pair went through the wash.

Well, we're off tomorrow to head back to London, Ontario. We won't have a connection all the time, but I will try to get in a post or two. I'll miss you all. Have a great Resurrection weekend. God bless.

If you haven't signed up for Swag bucks yet you should do it now. It's free and you can win Swag Bucks which you can redeem for $5 Amazon gift cards. There are a lot of other prizes you can earn as well, but I found Amazon to be the best deal. (They have no purchase requirements or limits.)

Once you've signed up, you can earn Swag Bucks just by using their search engine (which is the easiest and best way). You can also find Swag codes or participate in special offers.

Most of the special offers will cost you, but every once in a while they have a free one. Today they are offering 4 Swag Bucks just for watching a short advertising video and downloading a rebate coupon for a free bottle of Oil of Olay Body Quench Lotion. Once you sign up, go to the home page and scroll about two-thirds the way down the page and find the "Special Offers."

You can't go wrong... Honestly, Swag Bucks is great! I've already earned enough points for one $5 Amazon.ca gift card and am halfway to getting another one. I've only been using Swag Bucks for three weeks! Yesterday, I found the old "Sugar Creek Gang" books used for $.01! Keith and I both used to read these books as children and would love to add them to our library for our kids.

If you would like to try it out, just click on the link below and get started today! Seriously, I know everyone is cautious of internet offers, but this one is legitimate.

Today, I would like to share a web site with all my American friends. This site belongs to the daughter of one of my blogging friends at A Home Is A House Full Of Love. If you love to save money, you will love this site. So, instead of raving about it here, I suggest that you just go on over and start saving. Have fun!

And if any of you know of such a site in Canada, please let me know. I'm no good at figuring out these kind of deals on my own. I guess I'll just have to learn by doin'! God bless.
