So far I have been able to keep my goal of writing a daily blog, though it's only been a few days since starting out, and I am uncertain if I will have enough to write to have a daily blog.

Today I am going to Kmart. If you are not a sweepstakes and instant win person (someone that plays instant win games and enters sweepstakes daily) then you may not know about Shop Your Way Rewards. Each day you can play instant win games. You can also enter sweepstakes. There are ways to earn bonus entries for both the sweepstakes and instant win games. From time to time they give "Surprise Points" which can be used. You can win or earn points (by shopping or surprise points) and the points equal a dollar amount that can be used when shopping.

I have surprise points for clothing, which I have been given several times over the past few months (in various amounts) which I have used to purchase shirts and pants. I have been fortunate over the past few years to constantly win points so that I can go shopping for free or almost free.

I also have a few dollars in points from the instant win games, which I will use.

I have a free drink to redeem at Starbucks and I may or may not go today to redeem it. The free drink was from a promotion where I bought a drink and earned a coupon code for a free drink. 

I have not edited the other vlog from the last time I went out with my camera. Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Subway. I ended up not having enough time to edit and post the video. Maybe I will do that today.

I went to Walgreens to use my points in their rewards program, I know more free stuff (or almost free) and who could say no to free, and bought stuff I need and want like stuff for laundry and a big jar of treats for my cats. 

I used a coupon at Subway. The employees were not very friendly. One was on the rude side.

What will I do today besides shop? Maybe I will take my camera and do some video?
