Wow, this one took me back a couple of years. I had to go into my history and as soon as I saw it, I remembered EXACTLY what I bought.

I purchased a red wine assortment, 6 bottles, from MyWinesDirect in 9/07. DH and I were very pleased with the assortment. :love:

Wow- I have a lot of entries in my account history (221 pages :)). I signed up on 1/11/06, but it looks like it took me a year to start shopping through SR (if only I knew then what I know now...).
I printed pictures through Clark Color...

My first purchase was in February of '07 from Old Navy. I've purchased so much from there I can't remember exactly what it was, but I'm guessing it for our Disney trip soon after :)

[m 'n c]

Whew. That took some digging but I found it!

I am not sure what I bought but I have a feeling it was probably tshirts for our trip that we went on that September.

[metallicaruler80]

I went back and looked too. I have been a member for a while, but took me a while to make my first purchased:eek:

I checked my history and my 1st shopping credit was on 5/06/07 for Barnes and Noble. ( I joined SR on 4/10/07) I have no idea what I purchased, I assume it was books.

I bought clothes for my ever growing DD. She was only 1 and had outgrown her summer stuff so I needed to get somethings she could wear as short sleeved or layered into the fall. One of my favorite dresses she has owned so far came from this order.

[Leslie]

My first purchase was in March 2009 at Clark Photos....probably printed some pictures of my kiddos (that still need to be put in scrapbooks:rotfl:).

I thought my first shopping order would have been Disney, but it was actually Shoebuy:

#696554 Shopping: Shoebuy.com order 7727312 2.41 Credits 06/11/2007 Paid

I have a feeling that was when I ordered my Crocs that DH calls "old married woman shoes". :rotfl: I haven't worn them since that comment, but I was glad to discover Shoebuy! :sunshine:

[BaseballMom]

My first purchase was in August of 09 from GiftCertificates.com. I ordered gift cards to On the Border and CVS.

[disneymomma]

That made me sad seeing how many offers I had credited back then compared to now..ahaha:D

Anyway, it was Sears...a lawnmower I believe.

It took me about 3 months before I tried shopping, but that was a great incentive to get some money back! I really cannot remember what I bought! Maybe something for the baby I had on the way at the time.

I don't remember which magazine I bought...I think I was just amazed I got paid to shop!

[bbangel]

On July 12, 2006 I made my first SR purchase (and my first Disney Shopping purchase). I bought 4 t-shirts that were on sale and I think there were two dvd's in that order too.

[Alice28]

#32990 Credit: drugstore.com purchase on Apr 5 2006 1.82 Credits 04/07/2006 Paid

I'm going to guess it was salon brand shampoo and conditioner...:sunshine:

[lanny76]

I was thinking my first shopping credit was Old Navy in March '08- which was probly a mix of maternity clothes/kids clothes (since I happened to be pregnant then too!). But looking in my history, it says there is a shopping credit for Pingo.com a couple weeks earlier that same month - I wasn't thinking of that as shopping, but as something I had done in response to an offer. Anyway, I guess that was my first shopping order - an online phone calling card!

[marcymajor]

this was my first shopping order:
#1308251 Shopping: Order Sale - S1960 MagazineDiscountCenter 11.00 Credits 07/10/2008 Paid
i bought a bunch of magazines for my hh. hate to say it but i had never shopped online b4 and so it took me a while to do this and figure out that i could get paid to shop online so now i do it lots.

[rose4tricia]

Here is my first shopping order, boy was this a long time ago for me, can't remember what it would have been for. Probably fishing related for the guys.

I remember being nervous as I joined in August of 2007, however I do know exactly what I bought when I took a chance. Some clothes for my daughter that were on sale.

Thanks SR!

[mmm611]

I just found my first shopping credit being one from Shoebuy on 10/10/07. I think this was for a pair of Crocs for me to wear to my retail job.

[gpp2001]

My first shopping credit is from Magazines.com. I think there was a promotion running for 25% of your order. I can't remember what magazine I purchase - I think I got DD National Geographic for Kids and another magazine.

It took me a while to warm up to shopping online but now that's about the only way I do it!!!!

I had to do some digging, but discovered that my first purchase was:

#113690 Shopping: DisneyShopping purchase order number 55669218 3.36 Credits 06/19/2006

I checked through my email account and actually found the order confirmation, LOL! Do you think it's time to clean out my email?

I purchased swimsuits for my girls and pjs for two of my kids. I also purchased a mickey waffle maker which sadly just died about two months ago after almost daily use. My new waffle maker actually makes better waffles, but I sure do miss seeing mickey on them every morning!

[jnorth1007]

I know this is going to be a HUGE shocker but my first purchase was:

#535014 Shopping: Shoebuy.com order 6799667 2.49 Credits 03/09/2007 Paid

I believe I bought crocs for the kids and I. It didn't take me long to find Shoebuy. I joined on 2/14/07 (I guess I was looking for a Valentine's gift for myself) and made my first purchase on 3/9/07 LOL

[Arky]

I went digging to see what I got too. That was funny!

My first purchase was an Entertainment book. I always bought one, might as well get SR credit too.

I was a member for quite a few months and did a lot of offers but it took me a while to get going with the shopping...now it's what I do the most.

I actually think that I ordered Neova herbal wash...but I'm not sure.

[tarheelpat]

I joined SR on 3/29/2007 and my first shopping order was almost three months later on 6/22/2009. It was apple.com and it was an Ipod for my middle son's girlfriend's high school graduation. At that point, she had been his girlfriend for over four years, and she's still his girlfriend. She's great, too.

[loretta32965]

My first purchase was for the Disney Movie Club. I bought some princess dvd's for my neices.

[shmily1]

My first SR shopping was for my DS19... we call him Mr. Gadget so naturally, it was from Best Buy! :rotfl:

No idea what I bought but it was probably something for Christmas...most likely a video game.

[MamaO]

Wow - I had a long trip down memory lane looking for my first purchase. I joined SR at the end of Jan 2006. Lots of paid clicks, paid emails, some surveys, and a few paid offers - and no shopping credit until a little over a year later in Feb '07 (hate to think of all the credits I could have had)! Very fitting that my first shopping credit would be from Disney (and no idea what it was for):

[MKCP84]

My first shopping was with Snapfish on 12/31/06 - probably pictures from a Disney trip I'm guessing.

[faithhope]

My first purchase through SR was for something on ebay... I have no idea what it was.

I'm just kicking myself now having looked through my history to see how long it took me to do more than just daily clicks.

But even still SR has given me $1000+:D

[toystoryduo]

My first purchase through SR was Disney shopping back on 2/24/2007.

Wow, I had to go back a long ways - I joined SR June 28, 2006. I am very sad to say that I didn't make my first online purchase until February 28, 2007 from the Disney store. I know that I made a small purchase for DD for an item that she had seen at our local Disney store and when I went back to get it they didn't have her size - so I placed my first online order with SR. Why did I wait so long?
