Making money by shopping online

Image
This weekend I talked to someone who wants to save money but finds coupons way too much trouble! I completely understand that mindset. So how can you save money without using a coupon? Simple...... By tweaking what you are already good at! Here's what I mean: If you already shop online, why not have the companies pay you some of that money back in rebates? Quick tweak : Before you shop at your favorite store (Gap, Ann Taylor, Ebay....) click on Mrrebates.com . Login or register (If you are registering for the first time, you will even get a $5.00 bonus just for signing up!) Now type in the store name where you want to purchase in the search bar at the top. A small screen will pop up telling you that you are being directed to your store's site. Then you will be at your store site. Shop like normal! Pay like normal! Receive your product - like normal! In a few days, you will get an email saying "Thanks, your rebate is being processed at Mr Rebates." It takes 90 days aft

Create a Free Word Search

For my Grandma's Birthday party last weekend, I created a word search puzzle with a list of places she has visited in her life. I had it complete in less than 10 minutes. You have quite a few options: You can give the puzzle a title Decide how many letters to include Decide if the words should share letters or not Decide if you want to be able to copy and paste it to Word Choose the TEXT option to do this. This lets you resize it in Word and add any other descriptions etc or clipart to your puzzle. Enter all your words you want to use Then click create my puzzle. Once you view your puzzle you can then copy it over to word etc. Here's the link to make a word search.

You know how much I love getting cheap toilet paper! I've been talking about Angel Soft coupons for almost 2 years! Well here's how you can get Angel Soft toilet paper for .14 per roll this week (maybe even cheaper!) Call Georgia Pacific and request Angel Soft coupons . They will send you 4 coupons for .55 off any Angel Soft TP. (Hopefully you already have these coupons in hand from where you called last week but if not, call Monday morning!) You can call every 2 weeks to request these coupons. 1-800-283-5547 Go to Rite Aid where the 4 pack is on sale for 2.19 - buy one get one free.

Free movie rental at Redbox!

Image
Want to rent a movie but don't want to pay Blockbuster price? I just talked to my cousin who is using this deal every month!!! When you rent a movie from Redbox (these are the big red boxes outside McDonalds, Kroger, or inside lots of Walmarts) you enter your email address, your credit card and just pick your movie. It will then pop out for you to take home. You only get to keep the movie one night and you only pay $1.00! If you forget to return it, you will be charged $1.00 more every day it stays out. Here's the good part though. Alot of times they release a code that will get you the movie for FREE! Here's the latest codes to get it free: SNSV26 GANTS9 DVDATWAG (works only at Walgreens locations) DVDONME BREAKROOM You can also click here to see a list of other codes that are still valid! A couple of things to remember: You can only use 1 code per transaction so if you want to rent 2 in one night, just do 2 tranactions. I always write down all available free codes so I c

Why I buy the Sunday paper

Image
I usually do not suggest that you spend money just so you can save money. But my one exception every week is buying the Sunday newspaper . We subscribe to the Lexington Herald Leader Sunday edition only and have it delivered to our house every weekend ($8.00 per month). (If you buy it in the store, it costs $2.00 each week.) We also buy the local Danville paper ($1.50) and sometimes buy a Courier Journal (Louisville paper $2.00). That means I spend almost $6.00 every week on newspapers. Why is it worth it to spend $6.00 every week? First, my husband loves reading the Sunday papers. So he would probably buy the Sunday editions anyway. Second, I always save at least $6.00 (and usually way more than that) from the coupons I get in the papers. If you are wanting to start couponing and saving money, I suggest that you buy at least one copy of your local paper each week so you will be able to do some of the deals that I list. If you can't afford to buy the Sunday paper, then start talki

Trading for treasure

I almost always have a surplus of 'stuff' thanks to my coupons and bargain hunts. That means when I see family members - they really hit the jackpot. But what's fun is when they can trade from their surplus too. Last weekend, my aunt gave us 5 bars of Johnson buddies soap and we gave her family Kotex pantiliners, toothpaste and bodywash. I got something that my kids love and they got stuff to save them money too. Win - win! Next time you go see a family member of friend, consider taking a little 'hostess' or 'just because' gift from something that's on your stockpile shelf! I bet your gift will be a hit and you will get the satisfaction of knowing you have brightened someones day!

Making credit cards work for me!

Image
For too many years, I had to work for the credit card companies. I was paying the minimum monthly payment and giving the credit cards way too much of my money/interest. After learning to be extremely tight and frugal and becoming focused on paying off those credit card debts, we are finally at a point where we make the credit cards work for us! Every time we make a purchase big or small, we use a particular credit card. Even if I run into McDonalds or the post office, I pay with my credit card. But even my 5 year old knows the next step . She will often remind me as we're in the car after making a purchase that I have to go home and pay it off. That's the key . I always pay off the purchase immediately. By using the card frequently, we earn points. Then we are able to trade our reward points for cash or a gift card and use them to buy something else we need to buy. That gives us more points toward the next gift card/cash and we keep the cycle going. ***Word of caution: If we c

Yep.... I got an itouch!

Image
An itouch is not a cheap toy but we've been saving for it and I used some swagbucks....so.... yep! I am now the proud owner of an itouch! Since we're on the subject of an itouch - let me tell you how its going to save me money! Read ebooks for free . I downloaded the amazon kindle app which offers tons of free ebooks! Listen to any of my music - anytime: We moved all our music to mp3s and am now able to 'swap' all those cds (tons of cds) for things I really want. Remember my favorite swap site? Swaptree ! View photos - No more carrying around pictures to show our latest family adventure; just upload the pics to the itouch. Calendar, Notes and voice memos Now before you go buy an itouch, please remember that this is my big splurge and I've been saving for a while to buy this. If you do have one though, you can agree - ain't it fun!

Welcome To Savings - a new Friend & Blog

Recently I heard about a lady who was teaching a coupon class in Casey County (local). Her name is Laura. She and I have been talking by email and are hoping to get together soon and look for more ways to save. She writes for a blog in Northern KY. Take a look and see what deals are available when you travel her way. www.welcometosavings.blogspot.com Here's the fun part. She found my blog because she has a relative that found my blog. How? Who knows? I love hearing that you guys who are regular readers are talking to your friends and family about the deals at Here's What I Found. Thanks for spreading the word!

Swagbucks redesign and new point system

Swagbucks is having a new redesign to celebrate their 'birthday'. It looks like they have added '0' to everything. You should have way more swagbucks than you did have yesterday. I did have 145 swagbucks- now I have 1,450. Amazon gift cards used to cost 45 swagbucks - now they are 450. Make sense? So it should balance out - I hope :-) If you are not already a member of swagbucks, today is a great day to start earning free money because they are giving you bonus swagbucks just to sign up. Clic k here to start your swagbucks account. (No credit card needed - of course!) There is a place for a 'swagcode' but you just ignore that box. Not sure what I am talking about? Click here to read all about swagbucks and how you can be earning free money.

Free after rebate Turkey Meat!

What's better than turkey meat for a $1.00? - Jennie-O Turkey meat for the price of a stamp! Here's how: Sign up for Wellness Daily and you can print full product rebate for Jennie O Turkey (up to $5.00). This is limited to the first 25,000 who sign up. You will need to look down on the right side of the page where it has the picture of the Jennie O turkey and says sign in or create an account. I had to create an account. (It only took a minute) Then you will be taken back to that original page. This time, sign in. Now you will see 'print rebate form' down on the right side of the page where you created an account a minute ago. Now go buy the meat. I'm looking for a coupon to make the deal even sweeter. Send in your receipt and the rebate form. Watch for your refund/rebate in the mail in about 6 weeks.

Just a tip about passwords

Image
I join alot of online groups, survey sites, register for alot of coupon sites...... you get the idea. How do I keep up with my login information for each site? No problem. I have a standard password I use for ALL of them. Since I never include credit card information, it's no problem to me to always have a standard password. This makes it easy to sign in. Another option I love is keepass . This is a free downloadable (very small) program that allows me to remember 1 password and saves all my login information for everything I need. There is no customer service so I CANNOT afford to lose my master password because my master password cannot be reset. But this is a safety feature I love. I know that noone else can access my login information. Here's the link to download Keepass if you are interested. You just download the program and then enter your information.

Build A Bear - on a Budget

Image
My son turns 3 this weekend, so we went to Build a Bear for his 1st Animal. In case you have never done a Build A Bear animal, here's tips for how to score a great fun adventure without spending alot of money! I have done this 3 times and have never come out of the store spending more than $13.00!!! (Today we spent $10.07.) Sign up for the BAB (Build a Bear) Stuff for Stuff club . Make sure you register all of your childen's birthdays. That way you will get a $5 coupon about 3 weeks before your childs birthday. You will also earn 1 point for every dollar spent which will then give you free money to spend eventually. Watch magazines and newspapers for a $5 off coupon. I see these coupons several times a year and they usually have long expiration dates. Usually they are $5 off an animal priced $10 or more. You can 'stack' coupons at BAB. For example.... you can use the $5 birthday coupon + the $5 off $10 animal. So you have instant savings now of $10! Today they gave u

My Grandma turned 90 yesterday! If you remember, I told you a while back that Chick Fil A offers free coupons for a years worth of food if you are one of the first 100 people to spend the night in the parking lot at their new grand openings. Well, my Grandma has attended 2 of those openings in the last year! So, we decided we wanted to see if the Chick Fil A cow could come as a guest to her party. All I did was call a local restaurant. They sent me to their PR person. I asked and she said the Cow could come. That's all it took - 2 phone calls! If you want something to happen..... it never hurts to just ask!

Prescription coupons in today's newspaper

In the Target ad today there is a $10 coupon for a NEW or transferred prescription! Why is this so good? Because CVS always accepts competitors coupons! That means that if one of my kids get sick this month and needs to get a prescription filled, I will get a $10 CVS card - FREE! Here's how it works if you've never done this before: Take your new prescription from the doctor to your CVS. Pay for your prescription AND give your Target coupon to the cashier. They will give you a CVS gift card worth $10. You can then use that card immediately on your next purchase! Of course, if you have a Target nearby, you can do this same thing at your local Target store. In the Rite Aid ad, there are 2 transfer coupons for $25.00 each. That means that if you need to refill a prescription, you can just transfer it to Rite Aid and get an instant $25 gift card to use at Rite Aid. I have one prescription that I refill every month.

Need a free place to play indoors?

Update: I took the kids to the gym yesterday and had the whole place to ourselves. We played soccer, ran relay races and I got to walk a few laps - all for FREE! If you are like me, sometimes you just want a place where the kids can just run wild and get out energy! But it's really hard in the cold days of February to find a spot like that. The library is great but you have to keep them halfway quiet. If you live in the Danville area - you are in luck! The Salvation Army has a full size gym where you can come and play - for FREE. Salvation Army 519 South 4th Street Danville, KY 40422-2124 (859) 236-4473 Get directions They offer open gym hours: Monday - Friday from 9:00-11:30 am and 1:00-4:30 pm. No need to make a reservation. No fee to pay. There were many times that I would let the kids run like crazy and bounce balls while a friend and I walked laps around the gym. (There are a few days that they may have a special program that bumps the free open gym.) Happy

Valentines Day Party for school? No problem - No $!

Last year I bought extra boxes of Valentines for .10 a box! That means I have a gallon size bag of Valentines for the kids to choose from. Cards for each student in the class - $0 - FREE this year It's always fun to add candy to the cards. My son thinks thats cool. No problem. After Christmas I bought extra bags of individual boxes of Nerds - with a coupon of course - on sale of course. They were FREE at Kroger. Candy to attach to each card - $0 - FREE I need to send cups for the class party. No problem. Last fall, I used a coupon to buy red cups (how convenient!). Then I used the receipt for those cups and received a $5.00 rebate 2 months ago. Cups for class party - $0 - FREE It is definitely worth it for me to plan ahead. Now class parties for Valentines Day don't have to cost a penny and I still get to have everything needed to make my son have a great party.

Weekly toothpaste deal - always less than $1.00.

Image
I am convinced that nobody should ever pay more than $1.00 for toothpaste. I personally never spend more than .25 because I have a stash built up and can afford to wait for a really good deal. However, if you are just starting you may have to spend up to $1.00 to get your supply built. So I'm going to start a watch of where the toothpaste is on sale for the week. I promise - never spend more than $1.00 on toothpaste. Hopefully - way less! This week: Kroger has Colgate Total toothpaste on sale for $1.67 Use 1.00 coupon from last weeks newspaper if you have it. Total: .67 plus tax

Babies R Us Reward Club

Thanks to Herman for telling me about this great club to join. Join here . (**I have not personally joined this club yet but it sounds like a great deal if you are buying formula, diapers or baby stuff.) At Babies R Us you can join the rewards program, for free, and it has several perks: Buy 9 cases (of 6 cans) or cans of Good Start, Simlac, or Enfamil Formula, and they send you a coupon for a free case around a $35.00 value. It usually comes with a 15% off any one item, which can be combined with other coupons Example we had 10% off any travel system, and 15% off any one item, we combined it to get 25% off a car convertible booster seat saving about $28. Also buy 9 value boxes of Pampers or Huggies and they send you a coupon for a free case around a $40 value. Buy 5 greeting cards and they send you a coupon for a free card. Plus when they send you the free diaper or formula coupons they send other coupons too. Usually it has a $5 or $10 coupon to use toward a $25 purchase.

Making body wash go farther...

My kids love good smelling body wash but if I give them a whole bottle, it usually gets spilled and then wasted. My solution? I save the small plastic bottles that the samples come in. I just refill them with the body wash of their choice. If it spills..... no big deal. What's your easiest money saving/mind saving trick to help your stash go farther?

Expired coupons for military families

I would love to help out military families by sending my expired coupons. (They can use expired coupons for up to 6 months after the exp date at overseas bases). I have seen multiple sites that give the name of the base. You just send them to the base representative and they distribute as they want. Call me crazy.... but I can't get motivated to send these expired coupons to a nameless someone. However, if I had the name of a person who really loved using the coupons that I sent, I would send them asap. Here's my question..... do you know a military family living overseas that wants to use coupons? If so, send me the name and I'll start corresponding with them and get them some much needed coupons to help them save money.

Free Story Time at Library

Image
This is something we've participated in for almost 7 years. (Sometimes we go more regularly than others.) The Danville Boyle County Library offers free story time every Tuesday and Wednesday. Ms. Libby is a great children's librarian! The kids get to listen to stories, sing songs, play with puppets and always make a craft! Here's the current schedule: Tuesday : 10:30~Toddlers 11:30~Pre-School Wednesday : 10:30~Pre-School Most all libraries offer this wonderful free resource. It's a great place to take the kids and it is of course FREE!

A random scam alert....

Today I was asked about this, so I thought I would respond in general. Thanks E for reminding me! If you get an email telling you that you have been selected to receive money from Western Union or to go to Walmart and make a purchase and you will be reimbursed from Western Union etc....... RUN! Another good indicator that the email is fraudulent is if the email is written in broken English or sounds very choppy. Ignore the message! Do not respond! I am often getting emails telling me I have been chosen to win a million dollars or that I will be paid by Western Union to make purchases. I never follow up on these. I do often get great emails telling me I have been chosen to get special survey invitations, coupons or maybe even that I won a prize.... however, these emails that tell you that you will be reimbursed by Western Union are never good. If in doubt, check with the Better Business Bureau or www.snopes.com .
