Get your Money for Nothing

If you’ve watched daytime television you’ve heard every get rich quick scheme, start your own business and make $3,000 this month………I’m getting off track. I enjoy making money! I keep it simple by making money on purchases I’m already making. There are tons of apps that do coupons, check prices and anything imaginable if you want to be a SUPER SHOPPER.

I use two apps, Ebates.com and Honey.com. Both are installed in my browser and recognize when I shop at one of their partners. An Ebates.com pop-up ask you to activate by clicking and it shows % on sale received on purchase.

Ebates.com is my long-term favorite, it’s easy and they partner with all the places I shop. To date I’ve earned approximately $600. Ebates.com pays out every quarter for your previous purchases. The big money days are when their partners offer double percent back and 10% days make me very happy. Small sales add up over the year.

Honey.com works based on finding coupon codes for your purchase. It runs thru a long list of coupon codes to see if one applies. You’ll see a pop up that says there are coupons codes. You click and it does it trick. I have not used Honey.com very long but received free shipping on several purchases.

If you are a Prime Member at Amazon.com you have a world of free goodies offered movies, bookes…..on and on. I rely on Amazon.com since I don’t drive and Prime Members get two-day free shipping.

The best discovery I’ve made is the Amazon Prime Member Card. It’s a credit card that can only be used at Amazon.com, it’s offered with no fees. You receive 5% back on every purchase you make on Amazon.com. WOW!!!!!

To give my husband down time on weekends, we get our groceries delivered. Prime Members get free delivery. The amount of time saved has surprised him, the money has brought a smile to my face. The grocery section is Amazon Fresh, they have thousands of products including fresh bread.

Another up side to the delivery Amazon Fresh uses frozen bottled water to keep items cold. Each week we receive 6-8 bottles of water free.

If you really want to save money, work all the coupon apps and be a Super Shopper. You have to be organized to handle that many coupons and will need lots of extra storage space.

Happy Shopping!

I’ve struggled with a deep depression since the start of the year, comedy provides relief and Robin Williams always makes me smile. I know he understood and helped many people have open conversations about their depression. This video is a forgotten treasure, it’s the first time Robin went on The Tonight Show. I  hope your day is filled with sunshine. M

The drama starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Deandebuts, telling the tumultuous story of a Texas ranching family. It marks Dean’s third and final big-screen role, as he had died in a car accident a year earlier after completing work on the film.
