I often get asked in emails about how I got started reviewing and giving away products on my site, so I figured I would give out my tips and suggestions today on the best places to go to get started if you want to become a product reviewer on your blog or website.

Two great ladies from the Mom Bloggers Club wrote some great posts on this subject that you should definitely check out:

Monique over at Motherhood Exposed has her tips to becoming a product reviewer here.

Stacie has a great list of websites to sign up for possible product reviews at her site Simply Stacie.

Both these ladies are part of the Mom Blogger Club – How to Become a Product Reviewer Group and this is a great place to get tips, as well, if you are just starting out.

Product reviewing can be a lot of fun since it often leads to being able to offer your readings some great giveaways but keep in mind that it is a lot of work and very time consuming! Yes, you will get free items but you are responsible for offering honest and insightful reviews for the items you receive and you must follow the new FTC guidelines.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions about any of these companies that Stacie or Monique talk about. I think I am part of all of them

Enjoy!

Mercedes over at Common Sense with Money has a great post about how Clipping Coupons Pays You Big: The Math Behind Coupons. This post really got me thinking about how much clipping coupons has helped my family. Clipping coupons really is the second job in my life – OK maybe my third since blogging is a pretty big job! Mercedes talks about how clipping coupons is one of those lucky “jobs” that you can do from the comfort of your coach in your pjs while making a huge difference in your families budget. I suggest you definitely check it out!

Today’s Priceless Post comes from the All You website and it is a very helpful post on Saving on Grocery Staples. Some of these tips are ones I have been using for a while but a couple where new to me or tips I had forgotten about. One note though: there is a tip about freezing milk – if you decide to do that remember to pour out a little bit of the milk before you freeze it otherwise the container will burst in the freezer.

While you are over at All You, you may want to check out the coupons that are available in the February edition of All You magazine.

Today for my Priceless post I thought I would share a series of posts from The Social Path that I have found incredibly helpful over the last month. David Griner decided to write a series of posts called The 30 Day Social Media Makeover. This is a great series for bloggers because it gives a lot of great tips to improve your Social Media presence on the web and if you are a blogger you really know how important your social media presence is!

Are you new to CVS shopping or are you thinking about starting but you don’t quite know where to start? If so you should take a look at this great post written by Lissa over at Saving Your Cents.

She wrote up an Indepth Guide for Shopping at CVS that is hugely informative even for me and I have been “playing the CVS game” for years!

I love shopping at CVS because if you “play the game” right, then you can walk out of there with a ton of stuff and they will actually pay you for it!
