PINCHme Perks


If you're like me you love free stuff and samples are simply the best! I stumbled upon PINCHme and absolutely love it so far. In the picture above you can see what I got in my PINCHme box one week.

How Does it Work?

There are two different ways to get samples from PINCHme. 

1) Sample Tuesdays

New full size samples become available on Tuesdays. When this happens, you need to head to the site and fill up your box. 


They do have an autofill option. After that, hit "checkout" to verify your address and your samples should arrive within a couple of weeks. While it is a good idea to get there as early as possible, samples don't seem to run out too quickly. This is a huge change from other sites that run out within minutes of posting free samples. 

Samples here can be anything from BOGO coupons to full size shampoo/conditioner or food samples.

2) Weekly PINCHme (Sample) Boxes

Weekly sample boxes require slightly more work than the Sample Tuesday products and require using the QWIZme tab. PINCHme has a tiered system using tokens, but not to worry, it isn't that complicated. 

How do you earn tokens? 
Tokens can be earned by taking or attempting surveys. Every day that you attempt a survey you automatically get 10 tokens, even if you are unable to complete a survey. For every survey you complete, you earn 50 tokens. 


What do I get with tokens?
The amount of tokens you have determine what samples you will get each week. If you earn at least 50 tokens, you will be entered into a drawing to win one of fifty sample boxes. If you earn 400 tokens, you will get a box similar to the one shown above. 1,000 tokens wins you a DELUXE sample box and they have just recently added a fourth tier of 3,000 tokens for a SUPER DELUXE box.



If you attempt surveys 5 days each week, you only have to complete 7 surveys to get a box. You can earn all your tokens in one day, but will need to complete at least 8 surveys to earn enough tokens for a sample box. 

Check your token status anytime on the LEADERBOARD. You can compare to others and see how many tokens you have for the week to make sure you're getting a sample box. 


Can I win anything besides samples?
YES! The top three token earners in a week can win visa gift cards for up to $1,000! 


How long do surveys take?
Survey times vary from 1-2 minutes up to 15 minutes. Most surveys are relatively short, but do require honest and thoughtful answers. 

Is it worthwhile?
Each person will have to decide for themselves, but I would say ABSOLUTELY! You get free stuff by simply giving your opinion. Plus, surveys can be fun.

Thrifty Crafter: Natural Egg Dyes

Image
Spring has sprung and Easter is around the corner! Such a fun time, filled with bright colors, candy, family, and more. It can also be a scary food time -- candy filled with corn syrup and other artificial ingredients, eggs dyed with petroleum products, and thousands of empty calories to name a few issues. I can't stop you from overindulging on your ham dinner, but I can help out reducing some of the artificial ingredients you're putting at your table this year. Colored Easter eggs have long been a staple at Easter time, whether you hide them for a Easter Egg hunt or put them out as decoration. Coloring Easter eggs is also just plain fun! That is until you start looking at what is in that dye you are using. Yellow 5, Red 40, blue 2.... Does that sound like something your body can digest well? If you dig a bit deeper you find that these colors are actually petroleum based and are known carcinogens. Yet we use these on food we are feeding our families. This year you can ...
