I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers trying to find the best deals for their family! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing boyfriend who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I love telling my readers about great deals and also about the cool products I get to try. Most of all I love giving stuff away to my readers! I hope you'll take the time to

Hi Nicole,
I came across your site and noticed that you have survey offers. I work for surveywinnings.com and we offer free paid surveys. We have an affiliate program and I was wondering if you’d be interested in taking part in the program.
Look forward to hearing from you

Hello, I am a regular to your site and I was just curious if you have ever used swaptree.com? I am on it regularly, it’s a great site to trade your dvds, books, cd’s, and video games. There isn’t a membership fee or anything, and I have gotten some really great items on it. I just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t know already. Thank you for the great site!
i was trying to register for the Ally Zabba Blanket give away but it says comments closed where do i go to say i love the chocodot-bown
Sorry about that – all fixed now!
Have u ever heard or tried gifts4points.com? If so, please let me know if its worth it!
Thanks again,
Rae
I’ve never heard of this so I can’t comment on its worth.
Have you ever heard of InboxDollars?
Hi,
Sorry I am new on this website. I want to enter into your sweepstakes but do not know how to do it. What does “Giveaway entry” mean, and how can I get it? Could you pls help me about this issue by sending me an email, thanks.
Sincerely
To enter, fill out the form. Under giveaway entry, you’ll need to do whatever the mandatory entry is (it says it right in the post). If you can do other entries besides the mandatory one (like follow me on twitter and tweet about the giveaway), then you’ll need to refresh your browser and fill out the “giveaway entry” section with your twitter name and a link to the tweet. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

I was wondering if you could tell a few people about my new blog. I am talking about different survey sites I have used.
Hello Nicole,
I have a question about some of the surveys. I notice in the privacy acts of some of them that it says that they will not disclose your private information unless notified first, but I noticed that it does not say that they will never disclose your private information like full name and addess. Have you ever had a survey site disclose any of your information? I was interested in joining one or two that mentioned this,but was a little skeptical.
Thank you for you time.

Hello Nicole,
I also have a question about becoming a mystery shopper. What I would like to know if when you are picked for an assignment do you spend your own money and are then reimbursed? If so, how long does it take for the company that hired you to become a mystery shopper usually take to reimburse you? Also, are the items that you are told to purchase expensive?
Thank you once again.
Linda
I’ve never had any issues with survey companies releasing information.
Have you read my mystery shopping 101 post? I think this information is covered there. It depends on the assignment as to whether you spend money up front. If it’s a reimbursement shop (like a restaurant) then yes. If it’s a fee only shop (like a car dealership) then no. It will state in the assignment directions. The length of time for reimbursement depends on the company – each company will have their payment terms clearly stated on their website. As to your last question, again it depends on the particular assignment as to what, if anything, is required to be purchased – all information will be in the shop assignment.

Hello Nicole,
I have a question regarding signing up to become a Mystery Shopper. Are there any Mystery Shopping companies that pay you by way of sending you a check to your home instead of by way of Pay Pal or direct deposit? I feel a little uncomfortable giving out my bank account information.
Thank you
Linda
Many send you checks. Off the top of my head, I get checks from A Closer Look, Feedback Plus and Service with Style but there are many others!
I would consider a paypal account – it’s free and such an easy way to receive money. You don’t share your bank info with the merchant and can elect to get a check from paypal!
Hi Nicole,
Can you please explain to me what Swagbucks are?
Thank you

If you have a specific question, let me know.
Hi nicole,
I Have a question about publix transactions. On the B1G1 deals you are allowed to use two coupons. Are you also allowed to use target and wallgreens coupons on the same item on top of the manufacturer’s coupon?
Yes, you should be because the others are store coupons.
Please blog about our site, so more pets can find their way home…

Hello Nicole,
I would like to know how I can become part of the group and have PennyPinchersPal listed for the upcoming giveaway.
Thank you
You made some first rate points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and located most individuals will go together with together with your website.
Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you’ll be able to take away me from that service? Thanks!

Have you ever used Fusion Cash, its a survey company and I was wondering if they are worth doing. I belong to most that you recommend, but I see nothing about Fusion Cash. I don’t want to waste my time if they are not a legit company????
No, I haven’t heard of them.
hey Nicole tried doing the bue diamond walgreen deal but I don’t think it’s available anymore??? I would still like to get some can you help

The deal you’re referring to is several months old and the sales are only a week long at Walgreens so it’s definitely no longer valid. I’ll be sure to post the next time one comes around!
