Saving Money

Are you on a limited budget? Are you struggling just to make ends meet, and wishing you had just a bit more money for some of the pleasurable things in life? Do you like to spend time online? Then you might be interested in some of the places I've found to earn money online. Please read on...

One of the earliest things I found was ValuPage. The way this site works is that you pick the store you shop at most regularly and print out a value page which you take to the store and earn cash coupons to be used at your next purchase. I don't buy a lot of the items on the list, but every once in a while I am able to and end up with a couple of cash coupons to use next time. HINT: The number they use is the same one every week (at least it has been thus far), so you might want to print out the page and just carry the barcode in your purse or coupon caddy to have the cashier scan it in case you forget to print out your weekly ads.

PayPal Sign up and make $5. This is a great way to transfer money to friends and family, and many auction sites online use for payments. Click here, and you make five dollars by joining, and I make $5, too!

MyPoints I signed up for MyPoints, but didn't give it much thought until a good friend of mine explained to me that she makes a minimum of $10 a month with this site. I was impressed and started spending some more time at MyPoints. I have earned two $10 Gift Certificates to Target so far. There are many other places to get Gift Certificates from. If you would like to check out MyPoints just click on the banner below and my account will be credited with 100 points the day after you sign up, AND respond to your Welcome letter. Thanks!
Update: I'm not able to make $10 a month in GCs due to lack of point earning opportunities, but I'm still getting a $10 GC every few months.

This is one of my favorite online sites: The MyCoupons board. Click on "MyShoppingBoards" then click on "Look What I Found" to find some of the best deals around and get an idea of which companies are reputable or not.

FlamingoWorld, Coupon and Discount Codes for Online Shopping. This site is run by a friendly, personable woman named Connie. Check it out for some really good coupon deals and free stuff.
