SURVEY SAYS!


Another venue I have for making extra money is thru surveys and focus groups.
You may want to look up MARKET RESEARCH in your area and get on the calling list(s) for phone surveys which very often lead to making money doing in person focus groups.


Photo Credit: http://gamesmuseum.uwaterloo.ca

You can also do this online. Remember "getting paid" instantly isn't always the best............ you can do screeners which lead to better paying "live" focus groups too. Don't discount a survey because there is no pay. :) These survey sites are a few of my faves that I have listed on this post. I just checked out my survey page on my main website & it is in desperate need of an overhaul............. so until I get "a' round tuit" this should help you get started!

A FEW GOOD SURVEY SITES

MERCHANDISING OP!


people often ask me to share my "work" secrets and how I make money.......
I do many things to save and make money. One of them is MERCHANDISING work. It gets me in the stores ***save gas money*** you can "take the job or not" meaning it is flex hours
and generally the pay is GOOD to GREAT depending on how quickly you get the job done!
Many of the jobs pay per job. Estimate time to finish. EXAMPLE........
job setting up display takes 3 hours pay is $40, you get done in 2 hours better pay!

There are many pluses to taking a merchandising job and some of them lead to full time employment if you are looking. FYI.........If you are DISABLED THIS IS NOT FOR YOU, these jobs require PHYSICAL ABILITIES that includes but is not limited to : lifting , bending , reaching etc......... if you are are challenged by this or have back & neck issues, this would be out of the question.

$40 a Week Food Menu / Shopping list


ANJIE NOTE: I budget about $40 a week to feed my family. It must be noted that I am a BIG stockpiler of items, buy thru many different venues and use what I have by cooking creatively. I supplement my week of groceries by going out to eat 1x per week and ordering pizza at least every other week........... I do not have to do this because I usually have plenty I could eat at home, but I choose to do this and do that with coupons and gc as well when possible.

***photo credit:
www.neworleansmagnets.com



This week I shopped at Food Lion ...and yes we met our budget , stockpiled and will eat well again this week for under $40! this is feeding 3 of us, but could easily feed 4, you will note that many weeks my "shopping list" is exremely long and other weeks very short........one would think "why do you need all of that?" or "how can you make a weeks worth of groceries with that?" once you are a bonafide "freelancer" it will become very clear how this works.......... for now
it may be a bit confusing if you are a newbie. BE PATIENT YOU CAN DO THIS!

MENU (ideas, usually don't stick to it exactly........remember I have been doing this for literally YEARS so I always have a huge stockpile to work within from free and almost free items) I am actually going out of town this week so SAT & SUNDAY will not happen but I am putting there for you to get the "idea" of how I use items on hand/in freezer etc to make meals happen

FOOD LION
*premium wild bird food (gotta feed the critters too)
* (2) Int'l Delight Coffee Creamers
*Pepito Corn Tortillias 30 ct
*Lg. Bag of shoepeg corn
*Lg. Bag of Broccoli florets
*(3)Blue Bunny Ice Cream 1/2 gallon
*Blue Agave Sweetner
*5 Grain Natural unsweetened Dry Cereal Mix (like Granola)
* (2) Portabella Mushroom Containers
*Pork Country Style Ribs (99c lb)
TOTAL AFTER COUPONS AND MVP SAVINGS $34.49

Menus
Breakfasts: oatmeal, grits, cereal, toast, biscuits, yogurt, fruit (canned and fresh), smoothies, breakfast bars & poptarts **we eat breakfast usually "on the go" during the week and 1 cooked breakfast over the weekend
Lunch: left overs, oodles of noodles, soups, frozen pizza, Salmon Salad, crackers sandwiches, salad etc I pack lunches for faith & sometimes butch and I eat at home.
Beverages: juice, soda, wine, fuze, koolaid, lemonade, coffee
Desserts / snacks: ice cream, cookies, chips, peanuts, cheese, peppers, crackers, brownies

Monday: bbq pork ribs, broccoli, applesauce and biscuits

Thursday: broccoli chicken wild rice casserole , sauteed mushrooms
Friday: spinach / mushroom quiche / fresh fruit and rolls
Saturday: Night Out or pizza
Sunday: Ham, sweet potatoes, green beans

***as you can see many items listed in menu are NOT what I bought this week. That is because I am trying to do a PANTRY CHALLENGE as to not let the items I have stockpiled go to waste. I cleaned out the upstairs pantry today and had to throw some items out, this DOES NOT make me happy........ so I am busy trying to use up what I have.

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY! GEAUX SAINTS! $50 Walmart GC!


It all began, earlier in the season.............when the Saints beat the Patriots......... gave them a "whooping" as some would say. The Patriot Dynasty fell to the team once known as the "aints." Well the AINTS AINT AINTS NO MORE! :) Its NFL history in the making and quite possibly the most exciting super bowl EVER!
The game will be in Miami but the players will be representing
Indianapolis and New Orleans.




I am a Long Time Saints fan. Have been ever since I worked in the Superdome, selling Nacho's at age 15. They were the "AINTS" back then and grocery stores couldn't keep paper bags in stock, as people wanted them to decorate and wear over their faces, still wearing SAINTS GEAR but ..............not revealing "who dat" they were.




Now days, the Saints are "America's Team" the underdogs, the survivors of katrina and the fans are out (without the bags) and stores are selling out of Saints Gear, Jerseys , Fleur De Lis , you name it, the Saints are a money making entity for their city and the NFL at large. Many people are getting in on the action and using their skills to market items to the newly formed and LARGE fan base.




With Mardi Gras Right around the corner, king cakes are being made (business as usual) but now you can buy them in the colors of the SAINTS (black and gold) ****thanks to my GF, VICKI who so graciously sent me one to enjoy this weekend!

The Game is just around the corner and you know me, gotta try to get some FRUGAL game plan going for SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!


All of the sudden people were asking me for IDEAS on what to serve to represent New Orleans at their Super Bowl parties. I wrote a brief blog post (not frugal in nature) just to put out there what it is that people eat (besides seafood) when they are at home here. Many people that I know personally that live in New Orleans wont be cooking at all , but rather be in various establishments to celebrate locally with their friends, on balconies in the quarter.

What do you need to have a Great Superbowl Game, FRUGALLY you ask? hmmmmmmmm
well , I may need to look to WALMART may have the answers you are looking for! Can you believe it? they have made it SUPER SIMPLE to plan your party with a "slider" for how many guests you are expecting, they have even provided some print out party games!


TELEVISIONS: it is imparative to have a working television , and electricity to view the game! Many houses put televisions all over the house, so you don't miss a thing! Right now Walmart has all of their HI DEF TVS AT GREAT PRICES AND FREE SHIPPING! GO HERE to check out the great selection of BRAND NAMES and NO COST S&H! They also have some great deals on installation if you need that!

FOOD: Walmart has come up with a SUPERBOWL PACK that feeds 8 (its a no brainer just pick it up) for $44whats in this pack? one package of Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs, one package of Johnsonville Bratwursts, two packages of Great Value Hot Dog Buns, two boxes of T.G.I Friday’s Frozen Appetizers, one Hormel Supreme Party Tray, a 12″ Chocolate Chunk cookie and two boxes of Nabisco Wheat Thins or Triscuit Crackers
you get a variety of goodies , something for everyone & its EASY FARE to fix and clean up.

NOW ............... you want to win a WALMART GIFT CARD ? check this out.......
you can put together your OWN SUPERBOWL PARTY MENU or get one of theirs, the $50 gc
is enough to even cover the tax!

HOW TO ENTER / GAIN ENTRIES:
1. comment below telling me your best money saving tip or recipe for SUPERBOWL PARTIES

Better to See you with My Dear...........


I have ALWAYS been a contact lense wearer. My eye doctor is amazed at how long I can make a pair of extended wear last! Well, now that I am (cough cough) forty something.......... my eyesight has changed. I am no longer just "near sighted with an astigmastism" but I am also needing reading glasses! You see, the more they correct for nearsightedness.......the stronger the prescription ........the more you need reading glasses due to that correction.

My eye doctor was SHOCKED when I came to him to get my "prescription" for my progressive lenses from AIRWEAR. He told me that it would take me "some getting used to" as I was so used to
my contacts and drugstore glasses. He was so tickled that I was even considering walking around with glasses on all day, in public.......... :) He said that I couldn't have picked a better lense to try, since I hate wearing glasses. These have so many good qualities and he called them "top of the line."

My new glasses are BLUE & GREEN! LOL, I chose some blue frames that I had (to upcycle for this blog tour). Noooooooooooooooo they don't "go with" everything and I am not trying to make a fashion statement either..........but Airwear is making a statement, a GREEN ONE!
Not only were my frames recycled, but my eye doctor took the lenses to recycle with the LIONS CLUB I am not sure what the criteria is to get glasses from them but I am happy to give my used lenses to an organization that will help others SEE. This company is on the ball and not only are they participating members with the Lions Club but their lenses are made from 100% recycled water and plastics, they can be credited with saving millions of gallons of water and recycling plastic waste to the tune of 570,000 pounds annually!

Do I like the Performance? hmmmmmmmmm no I LOVE THEM! They are light, comfortable, I see better than wearing my contacts + drugstore glasses and oh yea did I mention they are scratch resistant? I am guilty of putting my glasses down , throwing them in my purse hurridly from time to time (there goes that vanity factor again) and the company states that thy are 10X more scratch resistant than the "standard lense" so maybe my eye doctor will be just as surprised at how long I can make my glasses last as he is with my contact lenses! How frugal is that? One pair of glasses vs. several and they work better, give back, huge comfort factor,last longer and oh yea "BETTER TO SEE YOU WITH" too, ya sold me!

This is the description synopsis........ from the website "Going green doesn't mean sacrificing comfort, performance, protection and style. Airwear® lenses are 43 percent lighter and 10 times more impact-resistant than standard plastic lenses. They also provide 100 percent UV protection. Airwear® lenses are available for single vision and progressive prescriptions, and are compatible with the world's most trusted vision brands, such as Varilux®, Crizal®, Xperio®, DEFINITY® and Transitions®."

So yea, for now I will still wear my contact lenses MOST of the time, but when I am cleaning my lenses, or needing to see better..............I would much rather have these glasses than any other I have tried! No need for switching back and forth between glasses as I read & watch tv, comfort is there and hmmmmmmmmm I think they look pretty good too! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Airwear and received a pair of Airwear eyeglass lenses to thank me for taking the time to participate.
