My name is Alexandra, I go by Ally, but the internet knows me as owlee aleckza. Currently, I live in Miamisburg, Ohio with my loving boyfriend & our kitty cats (Millie is pictured with me.) I'm attending Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio. My career goal is to work in marketing/PR for the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children.
I have been a vegetarian for eight years now. I am not a vegan, I do eat dairy products/eggs. I could care less if you eat meat though. I am a libertarian when it comes to politics & I am not religious. I do not plan to talk about either of those last two things on my blog, let's keep it friendly & fun! I am not religious. I do not have children, by choice.
I started getting freebies online in 2005. Back then, freebies were hard to come by since 99% of them had hidden clauses or extra ridiculous things you had to do just to get something small for free. Thankfully, brands realized that by going directly to the consumers with samples & testing, they could expand their profits. Yay for us because now we have nice sites like Crowdtap & Influenster.
The freebie that I have been involved with the longest is the mail surveys (pictured on the right.) It's super easy because they send the money to you as cash along with the survey they want you to fill out. Once you submit the survey, then they company knows that you are reliable & they will send you more in the future. Nielsen is a very good company to do the surveys with. I've actually been doing these since I was like 10, so 14 years now (wow!) It's always a nice surprise to get unexpected cash in the mail.
The main purpose of this blog is simply to explore the best deals in the world. That might be through coupons, freebies, giveaways, raffles, reviews, or anything else that could lead to a good deal. I want the best product, for the best price (free is always best), as often as possible.
I really hope that this blog is a lot of fun for everyone. I want this to be a good resource for deals & freebies. The official Facebook page should also be a good way for everyone to connect & share deals/reviews. Please feel free to drop me a line at owleealeckza@gmail.com if you want to make any suggestions!
