Make money with Surveyhead

This post may contain affiliate links.

I joined Surveyhead last fall and have cashed out (at $30) to my paypal account one time just before the baby was born. Since then I haven’t done too many surveys and have only accrued another $9 because of my lack of activity. Here’s my experience with them: I would log in and take surveys and would get nearly to the end and learn that they have reached their limit of people with profiles like mine for this survey etc. {Read More}

Sarcasm and Toddlers

This post may contain affiliate links.

DS was underfoot most of the time I worked on dinner last night, which is not surprising given his love for all things cooking. However, last night, he wanted to “vacuum” the kitchen to help me. While I was glad to not have to keep him from burning his little fingers, he kept running over my bare feet and trying to vacuum the baby’s head with his toy vacuum. In my exasperation I finally looked at him and said “If {Read More}

New reader Angela found another great deal today at CVS. She says “I found JOY ice cream cones on clearance at [my CVS] for .25 cents a box – they are a twelve pack and a 24 pack costs $1.00 at Walmart so that is a 50% savings without any coupons. The expiration date is 2/11/11. They had several. I may have to go back for more. I like ice cream cones as a way to stretch the ice cream {Read More}

This Week’s Dinners 8/30 average cost $4.62

This post may contain affiliate links.

My goal is to provide dinner for my family (2 adults and one toddler eating) for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 5 or 6 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and there will be leftover servings for lunches, dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down {Read More}

I don’t usually go through the inserts and cut out coupons (you’ll see why later this week in my videoblog on my coupon method), but today I did.

Also, I have seen a few choices of Enfamil on clearance for {Read More}

Walgreens Trip 8/29

This post may contain affiliate links.

New to shopping with coupons and Register Rewards at Walgreens? Start here for a guide on how it all works! Well, our church changed service times and we started an hour and half earlier this morning. Consequently I did not have all my Walgreens coupons together when we left, but was afraid to wait until after church to get the papers because it was P & G day. So, we stopped by on the way to church and I did {Read More}

Customer in Training

This post may contain affiliate links.

Our DS loves to push his own cart at Brookshire’s. He feels so grown up. He’s so busy looking around to see who is watching him that he can’t keep his eyes on where he’s going. It’s a good thing they have those tall bars with the “customer in training” on the top so that it’s easier for us to help him around the store. After a while we do get tired of taking things from his cart and putting {Read More}
