FREE $5 Jasmere Credit


Have you ever used Jasmere? It's another one of those daily deal sites, featuring a new product at a deep discount each day. They're a dime a dozen, right?

Here's what makes Jasmere different:
  • Their sales begin and end at noon each day
  • They feature lesser-known retailers that deserve national attention (Yay for the little guys!)
  • Prices start at 50% off or better
  • As more people buy, the price gets lower

Right now, you can get a $5 credit to your Jasmere account for taking their 1-page survey. Join first HERE (if you haven't already), and then take the survey HERE. Survey will remain open until 1/10/11.

BOGO Stayfree Coupons


Right now at Coupons.com there are two rare BOGO Stayfree coupons (so you can print 4 per computer). They were on page 2 for me.

When Walgreens or Rite Aid have a Stayfree BOGO sale -- you'll be able to get two free when you use a BOGO coupon! So print these now to have on hand.
