My Daily 3 includes 3 ideas to earn you some sweet dough! If you have a "Daily 3" idea email me at howaboutfree@gmail.com! If I use your idea, I'll send you an envelope full of coupons!
-If you can't seem to get enough of those survey companies, here's one more to check out: Toluna! It's pretty easy, just earn points and redeem for various vouchers or checks! They also have a new iPhone app so you can take surveys on the go! Check them out here!
-If you like House Party, you will love Crowdtap! It's sort of a "all in one" package for trying new products, giving your opinions, holding sponsored parties, and participating on their site. Plus, they gave me a buck just for joining here! Here are a few of the things you get:
CASH REWARDS - Activities launched by brands will earn you cash rewards.
GIFT CARDS - Your cash can be redeemed for Amazon.com gift cards.
HELP CHARITIES - Your cash can also be used to help your selected charity!
FREE PRODUCTS - Some activities will also offer you free products and other goodies.
You can sign up here if you interested in checking it out!
-My final way of earning cash for the day is a no brainer-hold a yard sale! It's amazing the stuff people are interested in purchasing. I can generally make $150-$200 bucks just selling off junk I'll never use. If you want a easy way to get started, get 4-5 large boxes (one for each room in the house) and as you go along for the week, toss 4-5 items in there each day that you no longer use. Once they're filled, seal them up and move them to the garage. This makes de-cluttering and prepping for a yard sale a cinch!
Yesterday I focused solely on surveys for ways to make (and save) a little extra money. I hope to make my Daily 3 a little bit more diverse in future postings. If you have any great tips, practices, or ways that you like to make "free money" please email me at howaboutfree@gmail.com! If your idea is posted, I'll send you a envelope of coupons!
Speaking of coupons, one of my favorite ways to earn free money is with coupons! There are lots of stuff for free at the stores right now-drugstores seem to have a handle of the fast world of couponing and are adjusting to attract new customers. For the newbies just starting off in the couponing world, there are a some great websites that you can print coupons from:
Coupons.com - They have been changing their coupons alot more frequently and have been coming out with a lot of high value coupons lately.
RedPlum.com - They are also a good resource, though not nearly the amount of coupons they used to have in the past.
Kelloggs.com and Snackpicks.com (also run by Kellogg's, so you should just need your Kellogg's account id and pass to sign in.) - They have limited amounts of coupons of each, but they are often really good. I have found coupons on Snackpicks that I haven't found anywhere else before. Kellogg's has had some great ones as well, including $3 off on 5 products, etc. Combined with a great sale, you could be getting items for free or close to it.
I can't "extreme coupon", (I don't have the time, patience, or room) but I do pretty good, getting a couple items a week for free and cutting my grocery bill at least in half using the above resources (plus the Sunday paper.) Hope these will help you too!
