Money, Money, Money, MONEY! MONEY!

Money makes the world go 'round. I'm all about saving money and making money. This post is about BOTH! If you're not interested in saving money or making money, this post is NOT FOR YOU! This post is for Frugal Frannies, kids & teens that want to earn extra money, stay at home moms, or cheapskates! And yes, I have used all of the methods below SUCCESSFULLY!

Another favorite site that PAYS YOU TO SHOP is Ebates. I love this site because they have awesome coupon codes and CASH BACK! They even offer cash back on some of my favorite sites like Amazon.com, Walmart, and Groupon. Yes, GROUPON! If you're spending money - make some money AT THE SAME TIME!

Why should I use Ebates?

Shop through Ebates, and earn up to 25% cash back at your favorite stores. How? Our stores pay us a fee when you shop. We then share the fee directly with you - it's just that simple.

Incredible deals don't end with cash back. We hunt down cut-rate coupons and exclusive offers plus amazing deals on hot products. Unlike any other savings site on the internet, you can layer the deals. Save big by using coupons and getting cash back at the same time! With deal layering, you really stack up the savings.

Best of all, we never charge a membership fee or require mail-in rebate forms. We just send you your cash, no strings attached.

Now let's discuss SAVING MONEY. Here are a few ways I like to save that don't involve clipping coupons:


SnipSnap is SUPER COOL because the app has a pop up reminder when you have a coupon and you are near that particular store. Why would you NOT want this FREE app?

New to Android

Never leave a coupon at home again! 

That's the idea behind SnipSnap, the first app to scan, save, and redeem printed coupons on your mobile phone. Prepare to save some serious moolah.

Shopkick is nice because you can actually earn points for gift cards without buying ANYTHING! You just walk in the store and earn! If that's not cool enough, this app also offers mobile coupons - no clipping involved. Just show the cashier your phone. 

If you're strolling through the mall... earning points and getting gift cards is super easy. Get your free Shopkick account here and get 50 free kicks: Free Shopkick & 50 Free Kicks  

ibotta works AFTER your purchase. Just scan your receipt and scan the barcode of the item. 

It doesn't get any easier than this. No mail in rebate forms, no coupons to remember. This is one of my favorites! Here's how it works:
