Ok, I admit it. I have turned into one of those people who says “I have an app for that”. I try to catch myself but it just slips out, lol. It is so obvious how much I love my iPod Touch. I am a firm believer in every little bit of money can quickly add up. When I heard about WeReward.com it caught my attention. Why? It lets you earn money while using your iPhone!! Now I have not made the transition to getting an iPhone just yet but I want to. It is just a little hard to make that leap and plus I want to get a really good deal. Anyways, We Reward is an app where you earn points for doing stuff in real life. These tasks can include making purchases or checking in at a business and taking a picture. There are different reward points for each task. Every point equals one penny. When you reach 1,ooo points, which is $10, you can cash out with PayPal. This sounds like a perfect way to earn some extra money while visiting the places you probably already go to anyways. You can even refer friends and earn points that way. So what do you think, will you Download the App and give it a try?
If you don’t have an iPhone you can see the app in action by watching this video.
At the beginning of this year my goal was to work on getting out of debt. I was prepared to push full steam ahead. I must admit it was much easier at the beginning. I did pretty good those first few months. But then so many other issues have required my attention that I lost my focus. I am still saving money but I am not choosing the best way to use that money.
I have been curious about how far off track I have fallen. So when I heard about the BillsIQ test I could take at Bills.com I was a little anxious. I did not expect anything over failing. Well I took the test and got 74% a C. My lowest scores were on the budget and life plan areas. This is no surprise to me. Sticking to a budget has always been hard for me especially when I come across so many bargins. I think one of the main issues I need to deal with is planning better for the future. I do not have as much as I should in savings. Luckily I have been making some good decisions regarding our 401k.
After looking around the bills.com website I saw that it is not only full of resources to help you save money. There is also information that could help those of us who need to know a little more about Debt consolidation,Debt help and Debt relief. Here is a little haiku I wrote. I don’t think it is too bad.
To save is so hard
credit is easy to spend
debt is not my friend
How do you think you would do on the BillsIQ quiz?
Today I was searching the net looking for inexpensive recipes like I do every week. I came across this site called Blogander which is a collection of blogs on different subjects. One of the blogs is called Cheap Eats. It is a guide to eating cheap with tips, recipes and techniques. I think these would be some great additions to your LifeTips . Hopefully you have your own lifetips to keep track of all the frugal information you come across
Home Fried Potatoes – 70¢ this is for one serving but I think it is pretty easy to change the recipe for your particular family size
Quesadillas – price starts at 70¢ but it varies depending on what you add to it. Super easy recipe Take 2 tortillas, add some cheese that easily melts, layer in a pan and you are done!
Quick French Toast – 95¢ about 2 to 3 servings, 6 slices of toast
Garlic Bread – $1.36 I must admit I am surprised by this one. I have never thought about making my own garlic bread. I always thought it was just cheaper to buy it already made.
Penne Pasta Casserole – $3.42 very easy to make
Bread Pudding – can use any type of leftover sweet bread or plain bread
Ground beef layered casserole – simple to prepare uses potatoes and tomato sauce
Magic Milk Shakes – uses no ice cream! Amazing right?
Lasagna – can be prepared as a make ahead meal, serves 9-10 people
Nothing but Ramen Noodle Recipes!
Taco Salad-takes about 20 minutes start to finish. Ingredients can be found at Aldi’s
The past few days I have come across a lot of interesting posts. Well, two of my favorite bloggers , CheapAzz.net and beingfrugal.net, came up with a combined total of over 250 tips to save money. I could not wait to share so that is why I am postin at 1:30am instead of in the bed, lol.
Cheapazz.net has come up with 101 tips to save money, but in a classy way
These two are my favorites. Number 21. use leftovers for lunch is a favorite in my family. Just ask my hubby and his friends. They love my leftovers
Number 32. shop the dollar store. I love the dollar store. I get tons of stuff from there. You can always find something there. Even those fancy helium balloons. CheapAzz is even giving away a free ebook of the list so you can share it with others. Now you know that is a great deal so go grab yourself one and tell him thanks.
Beingfrugal.net has really put some hard work into this one. She was able to put together over 150 tips to help us hold on to a little more money. She was even sweet enough to sort them into categories. One of my favorite tips is to shop year round for Xmas gifts. I believe that is the only way to get the best deals.
Beingfrugal even had a free ebook for download back in February. If you missed, go and get it now. It is something you will want to read.It is a collaborative effort between 16 personal finance bloggers.
