I would love to hear from you.  To leave a comment click on the title of this post and a comment box will show up.  That will be the case for each blog entry. 

As for me, if we are talking good buys, it would be using coupons and getting items for free.  Nothing better than that! 

As for freebies in the mail just from the small samples companies offer it would be an entire bag of flour.  Very unexpected.  I also love all the product tests I get from survey companies.  Just today I received 2 ...

I have used coupons for years, but I must say I am not one of the experts.  I have a coupon organizer, but I ran into a lady at the store a few weeks ago that had a binder and each page had 4 compartments.  Wow, now she was organized.  I know many ladies that will make extra trips to other stores to use coupons.  I just have not put that much into it.  I always check the Sunday paper and also print coupons on-line, but I try to use coupons for items I would normally buy anyway.  What is the p...

Besides the Free Money Making Survey companies that I have listed on the site, there are also companies that have forums, which are online sites where they have pre selected individuals that meet their profile to participate.  I just finished a forum that was 3 days long.  You had to log on 3 times a day and each time there were anywhere from 3-5 questions to answer.  For this 3 days I will get paid $75.  I did a forum during the spring that was 1 month long.  It was about snacks.  They sent ...

I use to hate going to the mailbox and seeing all the bills - Now I can't wait to see what goodies I have received.

Here is an example of what I have received this week:

New shoes from New Balance Wear Test - I get to wear them and evaluate them, but unfortunately I have to return them

A $50 box of goodies from Bath & Body Works - I joined a panel they created last year and they just decided to end it.  They sent out goodies to everyone.

I also received a $23 check from a survey company

The answer is "no".  I thought I would break down the two main areas of focus on the site and go into more detail about both.

Free Samples
Companies are always looking for new ways to market their product.  For many of them, free samples are the way to go.  I just received an e-mail from a large company yesterday asking if I would put a link on my site for a free sample offer they had.  They know having a person try a product for free can often mean new customers.  The only thing to watch out f...

Today I thought I would highlight a few of my favorite "Fun Money" sites where you too can earn some money.

Miles of Marketing

Miles of Marketing was created in 2007.  They "hire" moms to share information about products coast to coast.  So far I have done jobs for companies like Finish dish washing detergent, organic milk and spread the word on Crosby Loggins new CD.  For the first two jobs I was sent a magnet to put on my car, which I drove around with for a few weeks.  I was given coupons to...

Today I thought it would be fun to talk about Frugal Tips.  I have listed some and hope that you will comment and share some of your own.

1. DVD Rentals - I was in love with my Netflix account, but it had to go.  What I now do is check movies out from my local library for free.  Each library differs, but at mine I can have them for as long as 2 weeks!
   
2. Toilet Cleaner - I use rubbing alcohol.  It works especially well in cleaning the seat and it is really cheap.  I also use it when there is a stick...

I have had a few people tell me I should start a blog, so what better place than on the website.  I have been asked how and why I search for good deals.  I look back to my childhood and remember that saving money was something that we just did.  It was part of our lives.  The local Salvation Army was one block away and we visited there frequently.  I went through many a used Hot Wheels from there.  My grandmother only bought her clothes at Salvation Army and was always getting stopped by peop...
