It seems to be the little things that have always tr...

When a penny saved isn't a penny earned
I use generic products frequently to save money. I have learned that they are not always the better value, however. It is important to consider overall value when making everyday purchases.
Case in point, I recently switched from my favorite name brand scoopable cat litter to a lower priced generic. The result was an unhappy and even sick cat with diarrhea. Lesson learned.
So, how do you know if a product is a good or bad value for your dollar? Unfortunately, learning what works for you frequently takes trial and error. You win some (like my generic cereal which I think is even better than the name brand) and you lose some (like the kitty litter). Sometimes, however, you can learn from the wisdom and experiences of others by researching products with Consumer Reports, Good Housekeeping and other reputable online sources. You can also get opinions of people just like yourself by asking a question on Yahoo Answers or reading blogs like this one.

Earn income at home watching commercials
What if I told you could earn money in your spare time at any location with internet access? What if it didn't cost a dime and only took about 10 minutes a day?
Here's how it works: advertisers pay you to watch very short commercials and rate them. You can also earn a revenue share when any friends and family that join your team (they call it a village) watch ads.
Check out a brief informational video at this link: click here for information. The video explains the earning potential you have from growing your own "village" of friends and family who, together with you, watch commercials for a chance to win a $500 jackpot and earn a share of the fee advertisers pay to show their commercials on the website.
The amount you earn varies depending upon how many ads you rate and watch as well as how many ads the people you refer rate and watch as well as the amount an advertiser bids for placing the ad. The video [click here] explains it much better than I can. It says that the more people you refer who watch and the more you personally watch, the more you can make. In other words, it's up to you and your referrals how much you earn and how many jackpot entries you receive.

Meal planning made simple
E-mealz is a growing meal planning website available for less than the price of one latte each week. For only pennies more than the price of a dollar menu or value menu item at a fast food restaurant, you can have a plan to make your own meals at home.
What I love about e-mealz is that it does the research for you. It combines weekly sales and menu planning into an easy to use format that contains a meal plan with easy-to-follow recipes and a grocery list to make grocery shopping much more simple and economical. The plan also makes use of the same ingredient in multiple meals, minimizing meal waste.
