Saving Money When You Shop
Friday, November 11, 2022
We don’t need to be reminded that we’re living through a cost-of-living crisis. Many of us are finding that our money really isn’t going as far these days, with the price of accommodation, food, energy, fuel and pretty much every other essential going through the roof. We’re having to cut back and save wherever we can. But this doesn’t mean that you aren’t going to buy anything at all. Life goes on and many of us will find ourselves picking bits and pieces up with what disposable income we have available to us. What’s important to remember when you do spend, however, is that there are always ways to save. Here are a few suggestions that can help you to save money when you shop.
Easy Side Hustles to Make Extra Cash Fast
Wednesday, September 28, 2022
This is a list of easy side hustles to make extra money. This isn't the list that includes starting your own blog because that takes a lot of work (without getting paid) and dedication. This isn't the one where you start selling on Etsy or Amazon because, again, those both take a lot of work and a certain skill set. Or being a lyft/uber/doordash driver because those require you owning your own car. This is a list of EASY side hustles to make extra income and we could all use some extra money right now with inflation through the roof. Let me know in the comments if you have a side hustle or something you have ever done to make some last-minute money.

How to SAVE Over $100 on Your Cable or Satellite Bill
Thursday, July 22, 2021
Looking to learn HOW to lower your cable or satellite bill? Then this post is for YOU! With the inflation of our grocery bills and the crazy market, I thought I would update this post with EVEN MORE streaming options available for ways to save big!
We bought a new house back at the end of August 2016. We have a bigger home that comes with a larger mortgage payment. So we were going through our bills and thinking of what we could get rid of. We routinely do this anyway. We decided to not only drop our gym member ship (that we hadn't used in months) as well as drop satellite. So I know what you are thinking: You just made the switch to cable, but nope we completely pulled the plug and now we are saving more than $100 a month on television.
***This post was originally written in 2016, but I thought I would update it with what we are using now, new pricing, etc.***
We were criticized by our family when we first decided to do it. "How are you going to watch the Olympics?" "How are you going to watch 'A Christmas Story' all day on Christmas?" Serious questions, y'all. And at first, we hadn't worked out all the kinks yet. My husband did a lot of research and now I want to share all of our tips and tricks to help you save over $100 by breaking up with cable/satellite for good!

Save Money When You Shop on Amazon
Thursday, February 21, 2019
If you are anything like me, then you are always looking for a deal. I love shopping on Amazon, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Something may seem like a great deal, but it isn't. And what if the seller has a coupon code available out there? How will you know? What if there was a way for Amazon sellers to put their sales all in one place?
I like shopping on Amazon for the convenience. I can order toilet paper or school supplies at the tap of a few finger tips. But if I can find a way to save money on something I am buying anyway, then I want the best deal available. I recently became aware of VIPON. VIPON is the largest Amazon deal sites with everything 50% to 90% off!

Parents...Give Stock Instead of Toys with BusyKid
Friday, October 13, 2017
This post is sponsored by BusyKid. All opinions are my own.
I don't know about your kids, but mine have enough toys. We have a playroom full and now they are starting to take over their bedrooms and this is after donating a ton! I honestly don't know how they get so many; we are just very fortunate to have a lot of people in our lives that buy for them. But I have been thinking of moving to something different this year instead of toys. What if there was a way to help them learn to invest instead of cluttering our home with more stuff they don't need?
I have been trying to teach my daughter about earning her own money. Right now in the US, only 7 states require high school students to pass a basic finance test in order to graduate. The lack of financial education in schools are the major reason young Americans aren’t prepared to invest in their futures. But 89% of parents say tying allowance to chores is good training for the real world.
