Alas, my computer was out of commission for several weeks in March, so I didn't get to make up for the short month of February. Fortunately, a friend and I were able to save my computer, so at least I didn't end up losing any money on repairs!

Free Survey Stuff

Due to the fact that February is the shortest month, and was quite a busy month for me, I am going to combine February and March earnings into one post. However, in the month of February, I received two free items from two separate Your 2 Cents surveys: a can of corn, and a 12-pack of toilet paper. Insert your own joke for those items. =P

I started thinking back on the half-of-a-year that I've been participating in survey and GPT sites, and I realized I have a fairly impressive list of free stuff now. I have received:

1 small sample of Greenies cat treats
1 small sample of Greenies dog treats
1 pair of shiny, metal dice in a velvet pouch (from a cigarette company, I think?)
1 travel guide for Texas
1 travel guide for Colorado
1 free Remedy magazine
1 can of corn
1 12-pack of Angel Soft toilet paper

Nothing at all earth-shattering, and certainly not as useful as money, but it's still a neat list.

BORING EDIT: I made a small edit to previous monthly/yearly totals. Previously, I had listed Mechanical Turk earnings for December. For most websites, I only list what I've actually withdrawn (not counting any earnings that hadn't reached the payout amount), but somehow, I had been showing as-yet-uncashed MTurk earnings in my total for December and year-end total post. I fixed the totals concerning MTurk so that they reflected the $.60 they sent to verify my bank account, and nothing more. In the month of February, I got my first cash withdrawal from MTurk, and this will show up on the combined totals for February/March that I'll post at the end of this month. That was confusing enough just to explain, so I'm sure you can see why I changed it.
