Coupon Websites

So I'm sure you're probably all on board for Groupon deals. But there is some competition for Groupon. Living Social, Bloomspot, and Google have all been working hard to find us deals that are appealing. Groupon however is still my favorite. Living Social and Bloomspot have been great for travel deals though. Groupon's speciality is still local deals. For this season though, no one is getting Groupon gifts.

To save money this season, I typically turn to coupon websites such as Retailmenot to get the most accurate coupon deals. Ebay has also been wonderful! Not only did I make over $200 already this holiday season, but I saved so much by buying NEW through ebay.


Happy shopping!

Some more survey websites

Hello!

I recently have decided to seek out some more sources of online surveys. What I have come up with is the following:

Survey Savvy

They have a lot of surveys that are emailed to you daily and for good amounts! I like them a lot and I have heard great things about them!

Dollar Surveys

This website has multiple $1.00 surveys per day and they pay weekly in Paypal!

If you have extra time, I would highly recommend trying out some surveys to make some extra holiday money!

Enjoy!

BzzAgent

Hello,

I haven't written in awhile, but I just had to tell people about this!   I just received a new Bzz Kit filled with Maybeline's new Mascara and baby Lips chap-stick.  As a BzzAgent, you can try out amazing products for free! You can then give your feedback about how the product worked for you and for your friends.  You can find a link to sign up for BzzAgent on the right of my blog. I trialed these products for one week and so far I am in love with them!  The chap-stick flavor and stick are very simple in design, but very moisturizing.  As it gets colder, it's so easy for lips to dry out that you need chap-stick on you at all times!  Your lips will be super moisturized with Baby Lips.  As for the mascara, I am super picky when it comes to mascara typically, but I wanted to try this new kind out.  What I found was that for those of you out there who have unnoticeable lashes that don't seem to stand out, even with mascara, this product might be able to give you a hand.  It really makes what you have pop! I liked the product. If you want to SAVE $1 on either of these products, visit Maybelline's facebook page for a coupon!

Enjoy!

Calling all Teachers and Parents! Free online materials/information for you!

I've been working to compile a sort of master list varying in topics.  This is most beneficial to anyone who works in a school, especially working with younger children.  These are also great resources if you have children and are looking for fun educational activities to do with them.  Topics range from disordered to resources for typical developing children as well. Enjoy and pass it on to a teacher you know! There is so much amazing material that it should cut back on spending significantly! I tried to give a description for some of them but there were so many! The name of the websites kind of gives it anyway for the most part. I won't take credit for finding them all though!

Mystery Shopping

Mystery Shopping is a great way to earn some extra cash and to have some fun!  I'm not talking about those ads you see in your newspaper about mystery shopping.  Those are scams without a doubt.  Instead, I looked up legitimate mystery shopping companies through the Mystery Shopping Provider's Association (MSPA).

Clear sign if the company is a scam: If they ask you for money.  Real companies would never ask you for money upfront.  The website above lists all companies that are reputable.  Personally, I do mystery shopping for a few companies. One that has shops throughout the company that are EASY to do is ICCDS.  They pay pretty well, the shops are super easy, and I get paid on time or sooner!  PLus they have shops all over the country.  For more mystery shops, check out the MSPA website above and sign up for any companies you would like to work for!

Some companies will ask for your social security number.  Not all, but some will.  This is because any earnings you make over $500 or $600 in a calendar year must be reported to the IRS.  If you don't feel comfortable, don't sign up, but the companies on the list are approved and most companies have the better business bureau seal of approval.  I haven't personally used or even looked at each website.

Enjoy shopping!
