Courtesy of Little Miss Moneybags, I found a link to this really cool new website called YouData.  They are another pay-per-view/click site.  You don’t have to actually do anything on the websites you visit; just click through to them.

I was paid over $2.00 in about three minutes simply by clicking on the links that were provided.  All of the sites that I went to were completely legit sites covering topics such as women’s advice, various merchants selling products ranging from kids clothes to gag gifts, etc.  I even bookmarked a few of the sites to check out a little more in depth later.

You also get paid $1 for every person that signs up to do the same under your referral link and they will pay you $.01 every time that they pay out to that referral up to 100 times.  So, if you were to sign up under me, they would credit my account $1.00.  If you were to view 15 articles, they would credit me an additional $.15 and will continue to pay me for you viewing up to 100 articles.

So, if you’re interested, please use my referral link.  Once you sign up, you get your own referral link and can get get your friends and family to sign up under you!

I honestly looked  this site high and low looking for anything that I thought was the least bit shady and I couldn’t find anything.  You don’t have to pay YouData anything… EVER!  You don’t have to provide any more information than you would have to if you were doing something like a survey.  They pay out weekly directly to your Paypal account.  It’s honestly legit!

Have you signed up with YouData?  What’s your experience been?

Don’t forget, the Rite Aid prescription transfer coupons worth up to $50 expire on the 28th.

Hurry and get those prescriptions moved over and take advantage of this great deal. I’ve been hopping prescriptions around for a while and this is the first time in two years I’ve see this two-fer deal!

And I mentioned a $20 Target gift card too, didn’t I? One industrious person will win this gift card by spreading the word about CheckoutChicks the most. You can Tweet, blog, email, post it on webboards, add our RSS to  your blog, buy a billboard or whatever your heart desires. You just have to come back here and comment with proof or copy us in some way (include our email address). Now, if you rent a billboard, you’re welcome to fly us out to see it but a digital photo would be sufficient.

We *must* be able to verify your efforts so be as specific as possible when you leave your comments.  You can use any CheckoutChicks topic or blog post to help you spread the word. Tweet about Guest Blogger Month, our Ultimate Blog Party 2009 post, this contest or any other post on our site.  Grab a button or graphic and put it on your blog or post; that counts too!  You are only limited by your imagination.

But you must, must, must come back to us and let us know where to see that we’ve been pimped out.  The person who pimps us the most, wins the gift card! (Hint: If you already have links to us out there, you’ve already done half the work! Just let us know about it!)

So get busy peeps! Sign up so you don’t miss a single guest blog during April, Guest Blogger Month. And spread the word!

** This contest ends at noon Eastern on Friday April 10, 2009.  We’ll announce the coupon organizer winners right away but it might take us a day to tally up all the pimpin’ going on out there!

*** Void where prohibited. You must live in the USA.

*** We REALLY prefer that you post your entries here as comments to this post. But if you send out an email, please cc: contests@checkoutchicks.com

Yes, it’s an unoriginal post title, but it gets the point across.

Almost two years ago, my friend Aryn announced that she was routinely saving 40% more on her grocery list - and even as much as 70%!  After we all picked our jaws up off the floor, we demanded that she share her knowledge with us.  She gladly obliged and the first Coupon Bootcamp took place in her living room on a Sunday afternoon.  Since then, she and I have conducted over a dozen Bootcamp workshops for our friends.

As we continued to find great savings and slash our grocery budget, we decided to take the show on the road so to speak and created the Checkout Chicks.  Aryn continues to help me with my grocery savings but I tend to do most of the blogging here.  We’ve had quite a few guest bloggers in the past and are so grateful for their input.

Looking Back

Take a peek at some of our most popular blog posts of the past year.

• CVS - Order of priority for Coupons
• Coupons.com + Facebook = Wow!
• Stockpiling: The Hows & Whats
• Cellfire - ecoupons
• To Clip or Not to Clip - That is the Question
• BOGO + Coupon = Deep Discount
• UPromise e-Coupons

• Stacking eCoupons

On The Agenda

• Live and worldwide baby! This Wednesday, March 25 at 8:00 Central, you can hear me speaking about stockpiling and couponing on Frugal WAHMs Talk Radio.
• April will be Guest Blogger Month on Checkout Chicks. Be sure to add us to your blog feed so you don’t miss out on guest bloggers like Homemaker Barbi, The Shoestring Magazine, and CheapToday to name a few!
• Monthly blog roll - be sure to register your site on our monthly blog roll. It’s a great wait to find other frugally minded bloggers and to get some exposure for your own site.  I’ll be posting the blog roll on the first of each month.
