Easiest Way to Make Money Save Money. Print Free Coupons Anytime.

The easiest way to make money is to save money by printing out printable coupons from the internet. I love the fact that I can plan out my shopping trip and often get items for free or severely discounted with the coupons that I print out. If you combine sales with the printed coupons, you can save or make a ton of money. My two year old daughter refers to it as printing money because it saves us so much. Most will allow you print the coupon twice. Make sure to check back often as well because they are always adding coupons.Why Wait for the Sunday Paper? Print Free Coupons Anytime

I love the coupons too that allow you to do them as doubles or even triples, some stores still do that. This last year KMART had several double days and so I was often able to save $6 on a package of $10 diapers. Plus they even had a bonus rebate when you bought $50 worth of diapers, so I was able to double dip as I call it. Use a coupon and get a rebate.

At first this may all seem overwhelming. After a little practice you will get the hang of it and it will become addicting. Who doesn't like them taking 50% or more off of the grocery bill? My suggestions is to start easy. Click on the My Coupons link for some great coupons. Print out a couple of coupons, make sure they are for things you will use. Then take them to the store with you and use them the next time you buy those products.

Make sure that when you use coupons that you keep an eye on the epiration dates. Most stores do not take expired coupons. Most Base stores do take them from what I am told, so if you do have expired coupons you may want to send them to our military people for them to use.

Enough for now...go print some coupons and try them out. Save Money. Print Free Coupons Anytime.

Fun Super Easy Project to do with Toddlers - Forest of Trees






This is a great fun easy project to do with your little ones. It is super easy and has a very quick set up time. Items needed are: Sugar cones, pre made frosting, green food coloring, any candy decorations that you want to add.

First, take the frosting can and open it, then add green food color until you achieve the green that you want for your scene. Next, take some of the frosting and frost the bottom of a plate generously. Then take one of the sugar cones and coat with the green frosting. Place the completed tree in the frosting on the plate. Repeat these steps to make as many trees as you want, or will fit on your plate. Next take the candies and decorate the trees.

The kids love this! Not only is it fun but if their are any messes a lick will usually clean it up. (Make sure to wash your hands properly of course if you are going to share your trees with others) Refrigerate till ready to serve.

Extra decorations can be used on your gingerbread projects or in holiday cookies.

Put some snow or powder sugar on top after you refrigerate your creation for an extra snowey effect.

Let me know how this worked for you. My little girl loved doing it.

Alice - Free Shipping & $10 off $50 for new customers

What a great service. If you have not tried Alice yet, you need to. They offer free shipping on every order, $10 off your first accumulation of $50, and on top of that they have great coupons that are taken off instantly. My first order with them was for about $25 after all my discounts and deals, and I got tons of stuff.

This is a great company to because they have those basic items that everyone needs. I order baby food from them that is far cheaper from them then the local companies. My little girl loves the Gerber pasta and cheese pick-ups and they sell them for $1.10 regular price. At the local Vons, they are $1.69. So I not only save lots of money but it is convenient as well. With the free shipping I can order what I need when I need it. They also remind me when I might be running low on an item.

When you click on their link you will get the $10 off $50 or more sign up bonus. I used this on my first order, but I believe they will combine your orders if you do not order $50 on the first time.

My strategy to with them is see what is on sale with their coupons, you can save tons by doing this. If you need other tips post and I will try to give some more money saving strategies for Alice.

$5 Refund from Oh' Nuts to post a link to their site

Just thought I would put a small blurb about this. They will give you $5 back to post a link to their site from your blog. I love rebates and deals and goodies. This is like a bonus kickback.

Irresistible nuts, candies and chocolate

PS Look for other coupons too, when I ordered from their site I had totally free shipping, so I got to double dip! Yummy!

Zometools



These are great toys, or learning tools for kids and adults three and up. Right now they have a great deal on lots of great products. This is from an email I just received from Paul, "Free Shipping on EVERYTHING! ...plus a special secret stocking stuffer with any order by December 18th. We're not telling what, but it's a beautiful, veeery limited edition item, not available on our web site (or anywhere else), that is guaranteed to please any Zometool enthusiast and, really, just about anyone! Anyway, to claim your free shipping on anything we make, use promotion code "tasteful"."

So if you think these are as great as I do make sure to order by the 18th to get the free shipping and free secret stocking stuffer. I am not sure that I am supposed to share this, so you better hurry before they run out of the stocking stuffers! Let them know I sent you, Paul is a friend of the family's. http://www.zometool.com/

Printable Christmas Chain


I just made this Christmas Countdown Chain with my daughter Alixia. Just print out the three pages and cut them into strips. The files are located on the right side of the page at the top of the column. Then tape or glue the ends together to form a chain. See the picture of my daughter Alixia modeling our chain that we made. Please also remember to click on the ads if you like this project and help to fund Alixia's and Zoe's college education.


Happy Holidays!


Please also post if you liked this and tried it. It is an original project that I just made today. So if you have friends, send them over to the web site to print it too.

Free $25 sharpie products and Staples credit for double a and tripple a batteries!

Staples is the place for these great freebies! Also go through Ebates and get %2 back, so this is a money making deal for you, plus if you sign up for the Ebates through my link you will get a bonus $5 from Ebates! So you could end up making a nice profit, plus you get free sharpie products and free batteries. If you do not need the Sharpie products please give them to your local children's center. Our local one is the Cuesta College Children's Center if you want to donate it to them. If you do you can get a tax write off. What a great deal win-win.

To do this offer just go to the Staples web site. Add at least $25 of Sharpie brand products to your cart. Also add the two twenty packs of batteries to your cart. You only need one coupon code, 96140, this is for the free Sharpie products. The coupons are not working properly right now but you can call Staples later in the week and they will credit your account according to the voicemail on their 800 number. You could also wait and talk to someone and have them do an immediate adjustment, but the wait time was two hours when I just called. So it tells you to order then call later in the week to ask for the adjustment.

Also make sure to sign up for the Staples rewards, they give you bonus items and rewards depending on what you buy, like the free batteries, that is how they work. You buy the batteries and they give you a 'refund' through the staples rewards program for the purchase price. So it is like getting them for free.

Don't forget to enter my contest below as well for free chocolate!

Well the Blog is up to $67.06. That is up $24.96 for the last seven days! That is great.

Do you love chocolate as much as I do? If so you'll be interested in this fantastic deal I found. "Luxe Premium Milk Chocolate Assortment Stand Up Bag, 22.38 oz and contains 50 assorted Luxe Milk Singles: Milk, Almond, Hazelnut, & Crip." It is listed at the price of $7.95.

Please click here to shop through Upromise so that the girls get some college money. Also the coupon code is upromise15.

I am looking forward to getting the great chocolates!!! Where else can you get 22.38 ounces of great chocolate for $6.76 with the coupon?

To sweeten this deal up, I will give away a free bag of these chocolates to a lucky winner.

That way they will send me my chocolates that I ordered so I can send you yours if you are the winner.

Free 8X10 Collage, today only! Pick up in store and free shipping too

Walgreens: FREE 8x10 Photo Collage-11/27 ONLY!

Walgreens is offering up a FREE 8x10 photo collage today, November 27th ONLY! Just go on over here and use coupon code FINDJOY at checkout. Plus, choose in-store pickup to score FREE shipping!
Thanks!
http://www.freesnatcher.com/
that is where I found out about this.

It worked for me and I also did the calendar's for 70% off, the problem with them though is you have to pay shipping. So the end price is higher, the more you buy the better because they charge 1.99 S/H after first item price of 5.99. If you get a few it will average out to about $5 per calendar maybe a little more, but I figure what nice gifts. DESK70 is the code for this deal and you can double up on deals but you may want to separate the orders so that you get the free shipping on the print, otherwise they charge you $.99 for shipping on top of the calendars.

2 fantastic Nestle Coupons

http://www.verybestbaking.com/promotions/programs/holiday-guide/2009/offers.aspx
This printed as $1.00 off one package of chocolate chips and $1.50 off one package of the great referigerated cookies. I make these all the time with my girls. Alixia just loves to watch the cookies as they bake in the toaster oven, then of course she loves helping me to eat them after they are baked. Soon, Zoe will be able to join us to in enjoying these great cookies.

Making Money with Blog Advertising, Money for College

fundraiser ideas

I am going to be doing hopefully weekly updates as to how much the site is supposed to be making when you the readers click on the advertisements on this Blog. It was amazing to me how much it was for a click. I thought it would be like one or two cents if your lucky, but according to the numbers the amount is far higher. So if you are interested in the ad sense ads, please click!

I have had this page up for a couple of months and now want to put more into it. There will be some great give aways and other options. Definitely more great deals. Like did you get in on the free photo book from Photo Works with the code BONNIE? I ordered this and their was even free shipping. Didn't cost a dime and what a nice keepsake.

So what are the numbers today: So far according to the adsense web site the Blog has made a total of $50.30. I have not received a check as of yet, so I will see if they follow through. This like many programs has a thresh-hold that you must meet and I am not really that clear what it is? I am hoping to answer this and will let you know too when we get the first check. Just in this month it says that the Blog has had a total of 340 clicks, 20 clicks on the ads and $27.05 for those clicks. Not bad!

Next week I will update the numbers and let you know if we and when we get a check. My goal for my two girls is $100,000.00 for their college educations, which probably wont pay all their expenses but hopefully it will put a significant dent in it. I am also doing the Upromise program, http://www.upromise.com/guest/2396097749 when you click here and shop the girls get a percentage of what you buy as a kickback from the company. Usually 1% or 2%, it is not much but every little bit helps. If you would like to sign up as our friend under Upromise let me know and I will email you an invite.

So with the Upromise we have made to date $200.66. So Between the two programs so far we have a college fund of $250.96. I am going to make up a goal thermometer to post on the site as well and will update it appropriately. Even though this may not sound like a large start, it is a start. I have a few years to work on it as the girls are 5 months old and 2 years old. So if we get the real checks from both of these companies then we are down to only $99, 749.04 left until we get to our goal. So please if interested in the adsense ads, click on them and help us meet our goals.

Updates


I just updated the site with a fantastic listing of blogs, look down on the lower right side of this Blog, just scroll down. Printing out coupons from these and other web sites will allow you to save a monumental amount of money! I have even gotten several items for free by using all of my resources. Just click on the most updated resources to see how to do the deals. I love this because I can have them do the work, and I can use all of their great resources. They even link to the printable coupons. It is like printing money and it is free!


Sorry for not posting in a while, but I have been busy with the newest addition to our family, Zoe. Zoe was born in June this year and is our best reason for couponing and saving money. Zoe goes through a lot of diapers, so links to great $3 off diapers are great. On these sites they will show you how you can combine that with rebates and other great deals that are out their as well.



Rite Aid currently has some outspoken deals where you can get many items free or you can even make a profit on them if you do it right. They are prominently listed in their ad and on their web site. Just go and check them out to save tons!


Another short tip is to look for short term specials. Many of the stores have short sales. Like today and tomorrow at Vons they have pumpkins 2 for the price of one and a few other fantastic deals. Soup for 60 cents a can, that you can also use the $1/2 cans from the Campbels web site. Remember too, always look for in store sales. Stores will often have a clearance area. If they have an on site bakery also make sure to check out the day old section. If the bread they made yesterday was not sold yesterday a lot of times you can get it at a great discount. I always shop this section. What I do is freeze whatever I buy as soon as I get home from the store. So I often end up with six great rolls for under $1. These are the bakery fresh rolls, so they are great for sandwiches and other uses and they are dirt cheap!

Annual Learning Disabilities Conference

This is a great inexpensive conference that features two renowned speakers, William R. Jenson, Ph.D. andLawrence Diller, M.D.. According to the conference web site http://academic.cuesta.edu/acasupp/dsps/9ld.htm, "Dr. Jenson, Ph.D. has worked for many years with behaviorally disordered children. Dr. Jenson is currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Utah . For the past 15 years, he has been an active staff development presenter and consultant for many school districts, mental health centers, and parent organizations. He is probably best known for coauthoring The Tough Kid Book and The Tough Kid Tool Box . " and "Dr. Diller, M.D . is a behavioral/developmental pediatrician in Walnut Creek , CA and on the clinical faculty of the University of California , San Francisco . Dr. Diller is the author of many professional articles and the books, Running on Ritalin and The Last Normal Child. Dr. Diller has appeared on nearly every major talk show several times and is called regularly to speak on TV and radio whenever children's psychiatric medication is in the news. "
The cost for the conference is $45 for regular preadmission and $15 for students with proof of enrollment. Lots of instructors will also be giving extra credit for students to attend this great conference. This also includes food and drinks in the morning and a great Mexican buffet lunch! This is a great bargain! Some professional units are also available, see the web site for more information. Hope to see you at this great conference.

Money for College, BOGG, DSPS, EOPS and Other Resources


Please help me send my little one, Alixia, to College at no cost to you. When you use this link, http://www.upromise.com/guest/2396097749 they are supposed to credit her account. Once you try mine I highly recommend that you sign up as well for yourself so that if you have any friends or relatives that could use some free money for college you could also earn for them. So far I have already earned over $190 by signing up for this program. I have not bought anything special, just typed in my grocery rewards card numbers and they credit my account when I buy products that I use everyday. Upromise seems to be legitimate and has been around for quite a while at this time.
Another way to pay for college fees that a lot of students don't realize, if you are attending a California Community College is the Board of Governor's Grant, commonly referred to as a BOGG. I work at a community college and see that a lot of students don't even realize that this opportunity exist. There are several ways to qualify for the BOGG and lots of students do. The easiest way to find out about it is to go the web site for your local community college and go to their financial aid office page. They should have a link where you can print out more information and the application. It usually is composed of answering a few simple questions and providing proof of income. Here is a link for the BOGG for California residents: http://www.cccapply.org/BOG_Waiver/
Finally, remember that there are several other programs in California Community Colleges that help financially and with appropriate services. These special programs that you may be eligible for include, Disabled Students Services & Programs(DSPS) here is a link to the DSPS program at Santa Barbara City College which discusses the eligibility criteria and services offered: http://www.sbcc.edu/dsps/, Extended Opportunities Programs & Services(EOPS) here is a link to the EOPS program at Chaffey College which discusses the eligibility criteria and services offered: http://www.chaffey.edu/eops/, and several other programs are available if you simply do a search on support services.
If you want to attend college it is possible, you are even in a better place usually with a lower income and a higher need level. Anyone who wants to go to college can. It is only a little research and maybe a lot of paperwork that may stand in your way. When deciding to take out loans I would also recommend that you do you research. Most students that I see really don't need loans but they see this money as being free, even though the long term costs can be prohibitive. Instead I would encourage you to look into scholarships and other funding sources such as the ones discussed here. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is out there in terms of financial support. Look in on future blogs to find out more tips for financial help with college.

Welcome to a No Nonsense Approach to Living Better and to Having More Wealth

Suze Orman, my daughter, and myself
at a confernece in Anaheim, CA

I am starting this blog to share with you how to make some extra money from the web. As long as the Internet has had opportunities to make money from it I have. Contests, free money, freebies from manufactures, and anything in between has come my way from this hobby. Years back I even made over $3,000 from EBay one summer month selling items from around the house. Back then their was no Pay Pal or any other conveniences, so that was a huge deal.

One of my biggest monetary wins from the Internet was when I won a $10,000.00 scholarship for taking about twenty minutes to fill out an application for a new book store who was offering scholarships. After filling out the application I totally forgot about it and one day came home from work to find an email telling me that I won the $10,000.00 scholarship. All from just filling out a twenty minute application. Other interesting prizes that I have won include going to the announcements of the Grammies where I got to socialize in the Green room with many of the music industries giants. Although I did not know many of them, they were all kind. Some other prizes over the years that I have won include, a computer, a vacuum, a case of salsa and tortilla chips, too many hats and t-shirts to count, cash, a kids pinball machine and bubble package, a Sony PlayStation 1 & 2, and too many other things to list.

Besides these items, I am also the shopping queen. My friends all know that if they need to purchase something, they should first check with me. I constantly save tons of money at the grocery store and will be sharing those tricks with you as well. Besides shopping for items I also get tons of trial products. Products where manufactures want you to try them out and give them feedback. If you like the product then they also have you help them by sharing the information with your friends and family. Sometimes they just want your opinion and they pay you for it. Dollar bills in the mail have come many times to my house for just answering a few questions.

Several sites also will pay you to click and shop through them or to do searches with them. I will be exploring the legitimate sites and telling you what to steer clear from. One that used to be very lucrative, that is no longer around was the Beans site. There are a few promising sites that I will provide links to that are along the same lines...look for these soon.

Finally, practical government programs will be explored and I will let you in on some of the ins and outs for these sites. I went personally from living comfortably on less then $600 month to making a very decent income and living in a bay front house, mostly with the help of governmental programs. Please feel free to comment and ask questions if you have any. Plus make sure to tell all your friends and colleagues about this blog so that you can share the wealth.
