In recap, I earned $18.21 to shop for all of the above. AMAZING.

Ebates Big Fat Check!

Hubby recently worked very hard to save up for something he dreamed of having. And finally he got it! And because we bought through Ebates, we even have cash back for it! It's a good amount!

I haven't been able to cash out my ebates money before because you have to reach $5.01 (aside from bonus) to get the money. But hey! I'm getting the money now (plus bonus...$10 giftcard, $5 refer-a-friend, $5 promotional bonus) It's very cool!

Go here to sign up and whenever you want to buy something online, check through ebates first. Might as well get some money while you're shopping anyways.

Swag Bucks: earn while you search

Another new way to earn giftcards. Search the web and earn at the same time. I got the info from Moneysavingmom and seriously I follow her because I think she's cautious, prudent and wise. So I'm going to start now and if you'll like to earn some money searching the web, click here now to start!

Basically it downloads a small toolbar (I use the add to IE7 feature) and you search from there. You earn points and after a certain number you get giftcards (like Starbucks or Amazon).

Tell many friends or put it on your blog. That way you earn more.

You don't earn with EVERY search. I started with 3 bucks and I'm now on 6, that's about 10-15 searches. I think it's random. Still as I said, it's always nice to earn while doing what you usually do. The engine is google, so you don't get bad searches.

'>GO now!

Drugstore/Grocery Nov 15-16

Grocery is not seen but we spent $39 this week. Not too bad. A pity we didn't get the Chex deal...

Last week we were in PA, and it always funny to see the difference in attitude towards couponing. We shopped at Walmart and people there admired our savings because of coupons. "That's the way to go in these times!" the customer service guy said. I could have given him a big hug. That encouraged me in frugal living! But in NYC, people give you a bad face when you use coupons, or they scrutinize the coupons and say "you can't use this" even if it's perfectly legitimate.

Anyhows, at Wags today, we bought milk and goody brush. But guess what? The guy said we can't use coupon on dairy. Hmm, I've always used it...so now I'll have to go check their policy. TP is out, of course and that's about the only thing I wanted to buy. So I spent $5.44 on the giftcard on brush and milk after goody coupon (online) and Nov easysaver IVC. And I didn't use do the $5/20 deal cos...long story short, no stock, change of rules. So, I spent $0.30 on my gift card on 2 Progresso soups. Not bad.

At CVS, however, I got everything I wanted. Very rare.

Loreal ProCalcium, $15.99, ECB $15.99, MQ $1
Nature Made Vitamins, Buy $5.99, get 1 free, 2 MQ $1 each, Final Price: $3.99 for 2 100 caps 500mg Vit C. Very good deal.
Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste, $3.49, ECB $3.49, MQ $1
Ajax Dishwashing liquid, $1.79, get 1 free, MQ $0.40
Cranberry sauce, $1.69, get 1 free.

Use $5/25 coupon, I spent $0.81 on all that. Pretty cool.

Youdata: Small Income-earning opportunity

I've joined YouData and blogged about it before. My reviews until now are these:

1) It's very legitimate. I've been paid FOUR times since I joined on Oct 5th (not even a month). And within this 24 days, I earned $15. It's a small income-earning opportunity, but hey! it pays!

2) It's very easy to earn the money. Unlike some other survey/email-reading sites like sendearnings (which I still have and till now haven't got to $30 to be paid...it'll be a while), inbox dollars etc, this pays quite a bit, almost $0.20 per ad you watch. And you DO NOT have to spend a lot of time!! I only spent I would say a total of less than 10 mins on those $15 I earned. Can you believe it? It's just watching an ad, how long does it take?

3) They pay weekly, not till you reach a certain amount.

As I said, I'm quite full of praise for youdata. Only complaint I have is that they don't seem to have enough of the ads for me, at least. I wish they won't "close shop" soon.

So, I would encourage you, if you want to earn some money for snacks, for a little bit of extra cash, sign up on my side bar!!!! You'll need a paypal account, which is painless to create.

Earn YouData $$ at my site

If you do sign up at youdata and would like to start earning your money, can I ask you to come to my blog (on the side bar) to read the ads? You can always sign in at Youdata's site, but this can be a convenient stop for you. I don't have that much affliates on my blog (cos this blog is generally not a money-earning one), so it'll be nice to have a little bit of income. You still get your money (apparently you can choose how much to share with me and I'm happy if you get to keep all your money). I just get paid a little bit (by youdata) when you look at ads from my site. Thanks in advance!!

Happy earning!!
