Letter Ten: Coupon Queen

I love coupons. Yes, I am totally one of those women you see lugging around a humongous binder and tying up the checkout lane. Don't like it? Tough. When I can save $200-$250 on a shopping trip, and you're paying full price, I don't mind making you jealous. I mean, what is jealousy other than counting other people's blessings instead of your own?

Now, I'm not one of those psychos you see on TLC who takes 500 PowerBars when I've never tried them and don't know what to do with them, just because they're free. That's just dumb, if you ask me, unless you plan on donating them to a school sports team or a food bank. I'm all about donating to people in need, because the good Lord knows I have been there. I am not ashamed to admit that I have been to the local food bank when my family didn't have food but my parents were too proud to ask for help. I have accepted food from generous friends who got wind that I had been living on croutons for two days. I don't go looking for a free handout, but I'm not too proud to accept help.

I digress...I love my coupons, and I love earning money any (legitimate) way I can. Two years of unemployment have had me trying to earn money via babysitting, selling cosmetics, taking surveys, clicking links, and any other means I can think of.

So here are some of the means I have found to earn a little cash in my time spent unemployed. Feel free to use any of them. They're all legit (most of them I found via other couponing or money saving ladies).

InboxDollars:
This website has various things you can do to earn money, such as clicking on a link in an e-mail (it's SAFE), taking surveys, using coupons, completing research tasks, watching videos, etc. It's not much, but if you open a couple of e-mails a week, do a couple of surveys, and watch some videos, you can find yourself with a little pocket change for a tank of gas, or extra money for groceries.

MyPoints:
Pretty much the same concept as InboxDollars. Lots of ways to earn money.

SurveySpot:
This company actually has a pretty good payout for taking surveys. I earned $10.00 (the minimum threshold at which you can redeem your points) fairly quickly from them just for taking a few surveys a week.

Superpoints Network:
A typical website where you get points for menial tasks. My favorite thing is the SuperLucky Button.

I hope some of these websites can help you put a little extra money in your pocket.
