Prize from Yoplait Yogurt Blog

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about Yoplait Yogurt for a contest. I actually won a prize pack from Yoplait full of great stuff! Here is my prize that came in the mail today. It came with a big bouncy ball, bag of silly bands, lunchbox, coupon for free yogurt, 4 ice cream spoons, 2 magnet calendars, and a scavenger hunt game.

Saving Money When Eating Out with Coupons

Money is tight for all of us lately. We can't help but still eat out sometimes. I have found a great way to save a bit if you plan to eat out at a nice restaurant. Go to the companies website and check for coupons. If they have any, print them out. If they don't show any coupons, sign up for their email list. Almost every single place will send you a coupon and they are usually for a free appetizer. You can get an appetizer for free or you can actually eat the appetizer as your meal.

We recently ate at Joe's Crab Shack. We knew it would cost a lot, but I was able to print out a coupon for a free appetizer so we saved about $8 on the meal. A few other places I have done this is Applebee's, Chili's, and Texas Road House. If you are making plans to eat out, check the website and see if you can save money on your trip.

Another great tip is to save the El Chico's coupons out of the paper. They come about once a month in the coupon inserts. You can use the buy one Enchilada dinner get one free to eat out for two adults for less than $10. Great deal!

New Playtex Sport Wipes from Crowdtap

Crowdtap sent me a sample of Playtex Sport Wipes to try out. These are awesome! You simply wipe your body off instead of showering. Obviously, I will only use them when I can't shower. They are great for after a soccer game or before you run somewhere and have been working outside. They have a light scent which I love since I have allergies and it did not bother me at all. These are great!

Crowdtap is a great way to earn a bit of money and also get free samples. Try it out by going here.

Making Money from Referrrals

I have never been someone who tried to push referrals or tried to make money that way. I only want people to sign up for things because they are good for them and they can profit off of it. With finding great writing opportunities, I have actually ended up making a lot of money off of referrals lately. If you love somewhere you work, share your experience. Don't be afraid to ask people to use you as a referral if they decide to sign up. Just by doing this, I have made $300 on Examiner in referrals the last few months. If you are interested in writing there, please sign up under me. Here is my referral link. Part of referring someone to a site is helping them out. I don't just refer people and then run away. Once I refer them, I feel I should help them. I will answer any questions and also subscribe to all of their content. It is a great way to make extra money and new friends!

"Extreme Couponing" Interviews and Savings

The show "Extreme Couponing" has become very popular on TLC. With this show doing so well, I contacted The Krazy Coupon Lady on her website and asked for an interview. She was sweet enough to talk to me! Joanie Demer was awesome. I posted 2 interviews with her on Examiner and then another article explaining about a fraud case that is going on in the "Extreme Couponing" world right now. I wanted to share them with you.

I also wanted to share that since talking to Joanie I went to Walgreens today on a coupon shopping spree. I got 4 Marshmallow/Chocolate Peeps, 3 rolls of Scotch Tape, and 1 pouch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for a total of 9 cents! It can be done!
