I have been inspired by Kimandkathess and am joining the savingsfest! I am going to attempt to plunk away $500 in the month of August. This will be put toward an emergency fund.
This will be tough since my DH has been out of work for 6 weeks and we have not rec'd a TDI check yet, but I am going to try my best to generate $500 and I will bring you along for the ride!! :hamster2:
I am starting with an initial $20 put aside from my paycheck on August 1.
8/4/08- I tutor on Mondays and most of this has been going to groceries and spending money, but I have managed to wrangle $30 for the fund... fund total: $50.00

I have posted a challenge to all of the hot couponer's out there! You've helped me before, so I'm hoping to pick your brains for this one!! I challenge you to come up with creative ways to make a few bucks- not necessarily big money, just a few bucks to add to the fund. Here are my ideas so far:
tutoring
collecting change in a jar
Selling items on Ebay and Craigslist
Paid surveys
selling my firstborn child.... just kidding.... maybe
Send your ideas and I just might reward your efforts with a RAOK!!!!!!!

sign up to blog..lots of places pay you to blog
sign up for a revolution money exchange account. Doesn't cost anything to set it up. Doesn't have to be tied to a checking acct
Most of us will pay you part of the "bird dog" fee rme gives us The last time I checked it was $10 and most on here are offering you 1/2 ($5)
miss out on some deals and auction the hot coupons

secret shopping!!
go to volition.com
It has a list of all the companies you can shop for. This is not major money, but every little bit helps, and sometimes you can work it into your shopping trips. My favorite is Corporate reseach international (easy to sign up, can shop right away, pay quickly).Posted 08-05-2008 at 05:04:45 PM by chanelle - Recycle aluminum cans. Some places pay for the cans.Posted 08-22-2008 at 08:55:46 AM by jjjump
