More Coupons!! This site offers coupons that are not available on coupons.com

Like I said before, I will not link anything that I don't personally use. I use this site as well as coupons.com because it offers additional coupons. They are few, but golden! If you have downloaded the coupon printer for smart source or coupons.com, there should be nothing else to download. Check back here weekly for updated coupons. You can just check the same link each time. Again, I welcome any recipes for Fall. I would love to hear your favorites!

Making Money from Home (from a real person's perspective)

So, my husband got a new job, forcing me to quit my part time job. While I am not too worried about money because of his income, I have always liked to make a little money of my own. Since I am a mommy, I needed to find a way to make a little bit of cash working from home. I don't know about you, but I'm not one to pay into some work from home deal. So, I tried out a few paid survey sites. You have probably heard about these and if you have tried them, you know they are not going to make you rich, but they are actually kind of fun, and if you aren't looking to get rich or make a real income, I have some advice. So, here are a few of my favorites.....(BTW, these are sites that I use and have received payment or free products to test) 1. Global Test Market You take surveys for points that can be redeemed for cash, or gift certificates to places like Amazon.com. While the points don't add up very quickly, the fun is in the product testing. About every third survey that I take ends of offering me a product to test. How does it work? I take a survey and if I am qualified, they ship me a product to test for a period of time. Then I return to the site to take a survey about the product. They ship it for free, the product is free, and I get paid to give my opinion about it. Win Win! So, if you would like to try this one, I highly recommend it. You can sign up here Online Paid Surveys 2. Opinion Outpost This is the best one I have seen for actual payout. They will pay you cash on your paypal account for taking surveys, or in Amazon.com cards. I don't like dealing with Paypal, so I take the Amason.com online gift cards. I was with Opinion Outpost for less than 2 months and I had already earned enough points to cash out $15.00 in Amazon gift card points. They offer about as many surveys as you can find time to take 3. Ipsos Isay This one is about the same as the two before, same kinds of payouts, and again, I like this one a lot because they send me freebies to test. I know it sounds too good to be true, but there are about a million of these supposed paid survey sites, and these are fun, legit, and if you like to try fun new things before anyone else, they are for you! This week I am testing: Toilet paper, Chocolate bars, veggie Burgers, and a new perfume

MY FAVORITE COUPON POLICY (This Week)

So we have all noticed our favorite stores tightening up those coupon policies to keep us couponers from getting the deals that we crave. I was disappointed to find that most of the stores in my area have disallowed using a store coupon with a manufacturer's coupon, and none of the stores in my area offer regular bogo deals. This put a real damper on my couponing spirit until I found that one of my favorite stores had one of the most liberal coupon policies. The best part is that they don't even know it! So here's what to do. Go to http://target.com and print their free printable coupons. Then print these coupons (On my blog duh!) and use them together to get insane savings. If you find a Target coupon that doesn't have a match on my blog, go to the manufacturer's site! Some of them make you sign up, but they are all free and most have their own secret coupons! Let me know how it goes, and, as always, I am here to answer questions. Your friend, Dana Kay
