Blog Changes!
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 12:01 AM

Hi everyone,

I don't have enough time to devote to making the blog posts all new stuff every time anymore, so here is what I am going to do instead:

* Post new games when they come up, and post a weekly list of 'Sites We Love'

* Move sweepstakes list to the  forum, so you can refer to that whenever you like

* Post occasional freebies if I find a good one to act quickly on, whenever they arise.

* Post winners circle 'What I Won!' page in the forum so you can post there whenever you win anything

 

You can still email me with any new games, sweeps sites, contest or anything of interest to Winners Circle, and if I like it I will post it on main blog.

Otherwise the only thing going on main blog regularly will be the sites we like each week, and then any new fun sites as we find them.

Let me know if there is anything else you want me to set up in forum for you!

Winner's Circle 10/17/08
Thursday, October 16, 2008 11:49 PM

Regale us with tales of your wins this week!

I shocked and amazed myself by actually wining a spin on TEET!

I won 20 teets....now I have to hang around and figure out what to do with them!

They do have a new game over there called Bidomaniacs - you need teets to play though, and it's rather confusing at first...basically it costs 1 teet to place a bid, and the last person to place a bid wins. You don't pay what the bid amount says, you just pay each time you click on the button in an attempt to be the last person to do so. If you are lucky you will win an iPod touch or PSP for just a few teets ( equivalent to a few dollars)

The entire site does require quite a bit of time though, so probably not worth your time unless you have a lot to devote to this. Zach is a bit of a Teet expert so he may beg to differ!

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned! 10/8/08
Wednesday, October 15, 2008 12:01 AM

I'm posting this again because it kinda got ignored last week and it's good!

I really enjoyed reading this article by Vanessa Cortez found on PENNYWISE - have a read! She will explain how picking a penny up off the ground is equivalent to a $200,000 a year job! Very amusing - but a good deal of sense lurking behind what she says also!

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

www.dealsucker.com

Gathers all the latest deal of the day site deals in one place

http://deals.alltop.com/ (*NEW)

Another handy site which gathers together the top 5 posts from a bunch of deal sites 


www.woot.com

One item each day at 1am EST


www.gottadeal.com

Deals collected and posted here - especially busy around major holidays


www.slickdeals.net

Forum for posting great deals found from all over

 

www.daddyodeals.com

More deal posts 

 

www.bensbargains.com

Bargain hunter site 

 

www.bradsdeals.com

Nice collection of deals, well laid out 

 

Amazon Friday Sale (Fridays Only!)

Like an outlet mall sale!

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.


www.collectionsetc.com/

Nothing over $20!


www.tanga.com

Usually board games, but we like hanging out there for the puzzles anyway! 

 

http://www.naughtycodes.com/

Coupon codes! 

 

www.ultimatecoupons.com


http://www.couponchief.com/

www.retailmenot.com

www.couponcabin.com

 

Grocery Coupons 

 http://print.coupons.com/couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=13306&zid=iq37&nid=10

 

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.

www.Fat Fingers.com

 

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!

Please share with us your triumphs and glory!

What did you win this week?

I won 10c a couple of times on SPOTWINNER - it's nto much but it is still exciting seeing that BONUS PRIZE window pop up, I must admit! They just added a NEW GAME yesterday too which enables you to earn up to 50 additional entries every day! It's basically jigsaw puzzles made from the sponsor logo's, so not terribly hard, and kind of fun withthe leaderboard up there so you can get competitive and try to beat the high scores!

I also won more points on WISEOZ and I think I won a mug last week for writing a poem! Very cool!

How about you guys?

I got SUPER lucky on Wiseoz this week and won a few really cool prizes including a couple of Amazon Gift cards!

I also won 100 points on Spotwinner, which is basically 10c.........seems like they have reduced the instant prize amounts?? Still, I'm not complaining, it's all adding up!

What did you guys win and where from?
