They’ve always been one of my favorite online survey companies. They always pay fast, my checks always came very quickly. NOW you can get paid via PayPal too! Also, they’ve added tons of other prizes, gift cards, Amazon.com certificates and all sorts of wonderful things. If you haven’t signed up yet, I highly encourage doing so.

I broke the cardinal rule and ran to the store on my way home with no list or coupons. Luckily I didn’t go overboard and just got what I needed. I just saved a few dollars with my store card. Bo-ring!

My frugal thing for today was trying to fix a family member’s laptop so she doesn’t have to buy a new one. I managed to at least figure out the problem and it’s going to be less expensive to fix it than to get a new computer.

I do have $50 coming my way from my favorite online survey company, so that’s a really good thing.

That’s about it for now.

Spent: $48.48
Saved on store card: $3.19
Transferred to savings $3.19

Year to date savings: $92.48

That’s an average savings of $4.20/day which adds up to over $1500 for the year. Not bad, eh? Hopefully I can bump that up even more!

Free is my favorite four letter word :-) So today is the day you can go to your local department store and take advantage of the latest cosmetics settlement. If you have one of these stores near you, you can go get one free product.
Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner’s, Bloomingdale’s, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Dillard’s, Gottschalks, Herberger’s, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Parisian, Saks Fifth Avenue or Younkers. Go to the official settlement website to see what the deal is and find the list of available products. I just got back from Macy’s with my “My Insolence Eau de Toilette.” It’s quite delightful…and did I mention free? Go NOW…today, before they run out!

Didn’t spend anything today, so didn’t save anything technically. But not spending is saving in a way. Today’s focus is on the making of the money. I went to work and am working on updating some of my websites. I do have a lot of surveys in my inbox to do, so I’m sure I’ll earn a few dollars there. Currently I’m waiting on checks from a few survey companies. It’s sure great extra cash. Just spend the time you normally would messing around on the internet and do a few surveys. Next thing you know you have checks coming in and money being put in your PayPal account.

It’s a frugal dinner tonight, and one of my favorites – BREAKFAST! Fried egg sandwiches with bacon and cheese and hashbrowns. Yummmmmy!

And how can I let today pass without acknowledging the really important thing that happened today. We have a brand new President. It’s time to for the country to come together to support our new President in the fixing on what’s wrong with this country. We may not all agree on the best ways to do this, but I do believe we can all come together in prayer with good thoughts for President Obama and our great country. It’s an exciting day and I am looking forward to seeing how the growth of this country unfolds. God bless America!
