I am so honored my girls at Champagne-n-Pizza and The Party Girls Guide nominated me for a Liebster. I promise I will do my homework
soon!
Anyhoo, I’ll be doing that later since I have a busy day
today. I am doing a focus group on cat food. And they’re paying me $200 bones.
That’s right my friends, of all the focus groups available, I get picked for one on cat
food.(I've submitted for hair care, shopping, banking, etc.)
If you’re in the DC area you can sign up to participate in focus groups here: http://www.shugollresearch.com/
It got me thinking about some of my other money makin' & money savin' schemes:
- I also secret shop. Hey, I got a free oil change this month. https://www.shopperscritique.com/
- I use coupons, and
- sometimes if I see coupons on the top of the recycler, I take them!
- I’ll get a $50 gift card on eBay for $48
- I get free filtered water (in a cup) at Starbucks (we also get a ton of coffee there, so I think that’s fair
- I scout Travel Zoo for hotel deals for a fun trips (like to NYC this weekend)
- I sneak snacks into the movies in my purse
- When the laundry detergent is almost out, I turn it upside down and for good measure, I swirl washing machine water around in it & dump what little remains into the load.
I scout travel zoo, too! I will stalk ebay, but I wind up spending more and stuff I find. We have an awesome vintage/ thrift store in town where I take my clothes and swap them out for new stuff. It's fun!
ReplyDeleteOur local grocery has "meal deals" where you buy one item and get 4 items free, so I do that sometimes, too. :)
We camp on the weekend because we spend A LOT LESS MONEY than when we stay in town. Camping = $100 MAX; staying in town = $200 minimum. Camping wins in my book!
Ok I want to do a cat focus group and secret shop!
ReplyDeletei usually eat first before heading out to a restaurant with friends. this is actually two fold: (1) because i don't know what's on the menu, this prevents me from eating high-calorie foods (2)paying for a $12 appy is way better than paying $50 for an entree!
