I was over at My Frugal Life and Dawn mentioned a post by Amanda over at My Dollar Plan – Ten Surprising Ways You Can Earn Cash.  I clicked through on number ten, but found that I can’t participate since the NuRide, Inc. program isn’t in my area yet.  But if you happen to live in one of these areas you might want to check it out:

Back in June I had to replace my cell phone.  The guy at Costco was really helpful and even filled out my rebate form, taped the UPC to it and had it all ready so I just had to send it on its way. I’d misplaced it for a couple of weeks, but then found it and got it in the mail.

A few weeks later I received a letter from … click here to continue reading T-Mobile Impresses Yet Again

I’ve heard about these book swapping clubs, and decided to check into PaperBackSwap.  I joined, then browsed around and clicked a couple of books onto my reminder list; then I saw one that looked very intriguing and put it on my wish list. I guess the “wish list” is when the book isn’t listed on the site at all, but you wish it was. The book became available the next … click here to continue reading PaperBackSwap Club

A couple of days ago I was doing Mr. A’s banking and I’d forgotten to take photocopies of the checks I was depositing. I have asked the bank before, but I really don’t like imposing on them for something I should have already done. His accounts are at a credit union and I was at a branch within a grocery store. The grocery store had a copy machine, so I … click here to continue reading Found Money

I’m sick so I’m up in the middle of the night. I’m not going to work today. If you followed me on Twitter, you’d have known that. I think it’s a cold, and ever since I was diagnosed with asthma 6 years ago colds just haven’t been the same. I don’t get sick very often, (like once every two years!) but when I do I never quite … click here to continue reading $25 Amazon Gift Certificate Contest at I Pick Up Pennies

When I bought Big A’s shoes from Zappos at the end of October, I remember thinking I would get back 10%.

But darn it, I can’t remember who I used through Evreward. I have only signed up with Ebates, BigCrumbs, Mr. Rebates and Cashbaq, but none show pending rebates. Drat! That would have been $11.40 if I’d used Cashbaq or BigCrumbs. Maybe it takes awhile to show up? I’m … click here to continue reading Using Too Many Rebate Companies

I guess it was really me, as we all know that computers don’t do anything on their own. Right?

A couple of weeks ago the morning started out like any other day, and a window popped open warning me that the computer had to be restarted as it had just finished downloading updates. It explained to me that it would restart within xx seconds, unless I wanted to wait. I clicked … click here to continue reading How My Computer Lost $75

Here’s what I do when I need to make an online purchase. First I go to Ev’reward.

Next I type in the store from which I’m planning to shop. This time it was VistaPrint. I’ve bought business cards from them many times, and I need to order new cards for Mr. A because I changed our ISP, and his email address has changed. I entered VistaPrint into the search box and … click here to continue reading Earn Cash with Big Crumbs
