As for my mail, it's been a great week.
- $25 Target gift card from a new GPT company that I have yet to review. As readers should know, I don't put up any review until I have received my payment in my hot little hand, because I'd prefer not to waste my time and I don't want my readers to waste their time on something that doesn't work. Look for the review for this one in the upcoming week.
- $15 Amazon card from a survey company I've been helping. This was a bonus one that just showed up in my mail as a thank you, so I loved that.
- 2 $5 gift cards from Amazon came this week from Swagbucks. I took down the swidget from the sidebar because it was too big, but you can still click the link to find out more about it.
- A bag of coffee to test from one of the survey companies. I can't tell what kind or what survey company, because of their privacy rules, but I'm enjoying some $$ coffee.
- Swash sample from Vocalpoint, along with a ton of good coupons. I've used the Swash once on a pair of pants from the bottom of my dresser drawer, and it did a pretty good job of pulling out the wrinkles. Remember to sign up with Vocalpoint if you want to be among the first to test their new products.
- Free Gold Bond sample
- Free Bounce sample for Sam's Club members
- Purex 3 in 1 sample
- Free eye cream sample
- Free cat food coupon
- Free Christian book and probably a lot of emails and pamphlets later.
- Classico Sauce coupon
- Become a fan, then take their quiz, then you can have free tea
- This is a multi-layered freebie. The Federal Citizen Information Center has a lot of publications, some of which have a nominal fee, but many are totally free. There are a lot of really good ones that are specific to different situations: military families, people with disabilities, how to make the most of prescription drug coverage, among others. I'm going to post one link, and you can see which ones interest you.

Hi Amy,
I would love to find the 'best for the cheapest' steam cleaners (full size for carpets and upholstery) and vacuum cleaners. Have any suggestions?
I don't know a lot about steam cleaners. I have one that I really like, but I bought it so many years ago that I'm sure there's something better out by now.
If it's something that is a big investment money-wise or that I plan to keep for a long time, I always research a lot before I purchase.
There are a couple of good ways to start your search, but I always end my search by purchasing something like this from a local store. You might not get the absolute lowest price, but you will get the best service.
For research, I like epinions.com, and I also research through Amazon. You can sort for the one with the best reviews, then read through the reviews to see what people actually say about the item.
You can then find the best one that you can afford (and save your money to get the best you can) and look for someone local who sells it.
Just because I was curious, I searched for you and found this site that has some great reviews. Interestingly enough, the same old cleaner I have is rated highest. It's also got a list price of $150, which seems like a really good deal.

I was able to buy my Hoover Steam Vac used at a local vacuum store, and it is still going strong.
