Sandi is still out so I will bring back the shopping sites while she's gone, I'm sure you wont mind Smile

Please add your own faves and I will keep updated each week!

Also, check out  our EXCHANGE / TRADE forum. List your own trades or look for a bargain!

Nice collection of deals, well laid out 

 

Amazon Friday Sale (Fridays Only!)

When shopping Amazon you may need to use the FILLER ITEM FINDER to help you find that $2 or $3 item to qualify you for free shipping! 


www.magazinepricesearch.com/

Search for lowest price magazines. Don't forget to search Ebay for mag subscriptions though, they are usually cheapest plus Rewards Gold and Freebizmags are always giving out freebie subscriptions.

Of course don't forget Ebay and Craigslist - and when using Ebay don't forget the handy little fat fingers site for items listed with spelling mistakes, which presumably get fewer hits than ones spelled correctly.

Do any Steeps have EBAY / INTERNET STORES and would like to offer fellow Steeps a small discount on purchases? Just a thought. Feel free to mention your store in comments if you have an offer for us!

Referral Draw! 8/18/08
Monday, August 18, 2008 12:02 AM

I received emails from 4 people for this draw - Zach, Unruli1, Ndvdub and j15bell.

I went to random.org to randomly list you, then again to generate 2 random numbers.

The winner of the $10 Best Buy card is.........................NDVDUB!!!

And the winner of the $5 Starbucks card is...............................OMG he does win sometimes ZACH!!!!!!!

Congratulations and thanks for your support!!!

Anyone who played Wed August 13th OR who usually plays but did NOT play Wednesday - if you used my referral to sign up, email me so you can be in next Monday's draw.

Only people who played on the 13th will be in the $10 draw, and all referral will be in the $5 draw, but you must email me to enter the draws!!!! I'm not sure what the gift cards will be, but those are the values. Probably Best Buy and / or Amazon and / or Starbucks and / or Dunkin Donuts.

Games and Things! 8/18/08
Monday, August 18, 2008 12:01 AM

First up, thanks Zach for covering for me during my unexpected absence at the end of last week! I mistakenly assumed internet access would be readily available and it was not.

Here is what is up this week - tell me what I am missing!

1. SPOTWINNER - Yes I officially love Spotwinner. It's quick, easy, and has fabulous prizes PLUS you can win with just ONE entry!!!!  As a result of my wins last week, I have a DRAW for referrals TODAY plus I need you to tell me if you played on Aug 13th so you can be entered into the NEXT draw which will be held NEXT Monday! Again, this is honor based. I know how many people played, but I don't know who. If more than that number of people claim that they played, I will have to request proof via screenshots.

Whenever I win I will hold 2 draws. One exclusively for referrals who played the day I won, and 1 for all referrals whether they played that day or not. Draw 1 is worth $10 and draw 2 is worth $5 each time.

Look here later today for today's winners! Plus email me if you played with my referral on Wednesday August 13th so you can be in the next draw!!!

To be included in future draws if I win something good, make sure you use my referral # when you sign up! 1300731!

sandi@steeplemedia.net

Please email me by midnight Sunday so I can do this draw next Monday.

2. TANGA - Show up at 10pm EST for puzzle mania! Play bottom feeder!

3.  WISEOZ Too busy to keep up......someone is going to win a wii over there next week though! Can't wait o see who!

Couple of random draw would be great Wiseoz!

Don't forget to check the forum post for help, discussion and general WiseOz chitchat!

4. VOXPOP - also time consuming so haven't been able to do this lately, but people are winning stuff! You really would benefit from getting together with friends or on forum for this.

5. Odds and ends - every once in a while stuff 

www.whogets.com Check in about once a month to sign up for new giveaways. If you get nominated to win, they will email you and then you usually have at least a week or 4 to get people to vote for you. Whoever gets the most votes wins, so let us know if you get nominated and we will vote for you. 

Vote for me! I actually got nominated to win a copy of The Sentinel! Vote for SydneyHeart! Six days to go and I'm 17 votes behind lol Oh well.

I DID get a couple of submissions this week but I haven't quite caught up yet from being away - so hopefully we have a winner waiting to be discovered already!

Send me a fun site for us to check out and you could win! Prize is a mystery prize worth at least $5!

It must be something not published in this blog/forum before and it must be related to games, puzzles, bargains, freebies, sweeps, or giveaways

Email submission to sandi@steeplemedia.net
