You receive emails telling you about different products and just by clicking over to the site, you receive 5 points. If you buy, you earn more points for every dollar that you spend. Then you can use the points for things like gap cards and starbucks cards! I often amass enough points to get cards without even spending any money!Randinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-50137430046235564512011-02-23T20:39:59.708-06:002011-02-23T20:39:59.708-06:00my favorite money saving tip is to have great frie...my favorite money saving tip is to have great friends: you can swap/give or get used clothes, books, boys suits, handmedowns, babysitting, extra fruits and veggies, handmade presents.....and the list could go on and on.hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-55597251090867068382011-02-23T09:53:17.610-06:002011-02-23T09:53:17.610-06:00My biggest money saving suggestion is baking your ...My biggest money saving suggestion is baking your own bread. Seriously, we're finding it costs sooo little to bake bread, just time and planning ahead. Especially Challah, which is $5-$6 per loaf in town. And ours is better at home!<br /><br />I look forward to seeing other suggestions!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487216171551951884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-84122792184039033442011-02-23T06:55:07.490-06:002011-02-23T06:55:07.490-06:00My recent money saving tip is ebay and second hand...My recent money saving tip is ebay and second hand stores...I needed a warmer coat and some snow pants for my 16 month old daughter. I found her a new coat with the tags still on it coat from a smoke/pet free home for .99 plus $5 shipping on ebay. I then went to a second hand store similar to Goodwill and found gently used snow pants for $2.99. I only paid $8.98 for the whole snow suit!!!Lindsay Litmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986392095687645590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-91724109522460809592011-02-22T22:39:04.303-06:002011-02-22T22:39:04.303-06:00Great post.

Eggs/hashbrowns/pancakes for 2-4 people: $5-6 total at home, and it's only that high if you're very, very extravagant(think berries) vs. $30 or more in a restaurant. And that's just Sunday brunch. <br /><br />Eating at home is not only less expensive and creates great savings; it's also significantly healthier! Yes, I still treat myself to an evening out or a hot chocolate from time to time, but not so often anymore. Once you know you can make a lunch for under $2, it's hard to justify spending $8 on a regular basis. Even Oprah brings her own lunch to work each day!<br /><br />(Also, I get your RSS feed via Google Reader.)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713194747315482988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-86161416268826329702011-02-22T13:56:33.982-06:002011-02-22T13:56:33.982-06:00Money-saving tip:

In January 2007, I had been out of work for 1.25 years and at wits end as I finally decided to get on a debt management plan from a private company (CredAbility, formerly known as CCCS-Atlanta). I had nearly $55K in various types of secured and unsecured debts.<br /><br />My payments (which were reasonable while I actually had a job) went down to $1,300 per month and ALL of my card interest rates were frozen at 6% or 9%. As of this May 2011 (4 years after starting the plan), I will be entirely 100% debt-free and with a retirement plan that is actively growing!<br /><br />My best suggestion to anyone financially struggling in this economy, is to get on a debt management plan ASAP. It was the best thing I ever did.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918789810928022934noreply@blogger.com
