**Update – I posted about this last month and they are still accepting applicants so I wanted to repost for those of you who missed my original post!
Many of you have tried to join Nielsen National Consumer Panel in the past but were not eligible because of the zip code you lived in. Nielsen Homescan has expanded their zip codes are are accepting many new zip codes. You might want to try to apply again if you have been declined in the past! (I can’t promise you will be accepted, but it doesn’t hurt to apply!) When you join, you will take surveys and be equipped with a scanner to monitor the purchases you make each week. You will be rewarded with prizes like electronics, household products and more! Go HERE to apply. You will find out whether or not you are eligible right away.

A tool set and a convertable little vacuum were 2 that I remember. I applied a week ago, and hope I will be accepted again. And it’s fun to do!”

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
DidNOT get in @ zipcode 77065. BUT thanks for the heads up!
I have the scanner and have scanned and transmitted twice since I set it up. You have to scan a LOT to get even the minimum of reward points needed (thousands of points) and you get like 150 points when you transmit. You can also answer surveys. I’m not sure if it’s worth my time. Still thinking about it. Liza, do you have the scanner? Also, is there anyway to know if you respond to a post other than checking back on it. Is there a way to get an email knowing someone made a comment after you?
Can’t say that I am thrilled with it either. It is time consuming if you have a big family and do a lot of shopping. A lot of time for little or no reward. I’m sending mine back. I have gotten more from swagbucks by far.
