Need more options for what to do with expiring airline miles? I already get more magazines than I can read each month, and never have enough for a flight or for “purchasing” items in the mileage stores. So when I got another letter from United saying I had 10,000 miles about to go the way of the buffalo, I was excited to see that I
Don’t forget to enter our contest to win one of two $25 gift cards to Macy’s. Coinstar donated both gift cards as part of our post on their new Exchange kiosks, where you can trade in an unwanted gift card for CASH. Yes, cash, ladies!

I have at least a half dozen gift cards that I’ve been meaning to use for months – what about you? Now, there’s a way to get cold, hard cash for these lingering pieces of plastic: Coinstar Exchange kiosks. We’re so excited about these new kiosks that we made a video about them! And we’re giving away two $25 gift cards to Macy’s, courtesy of
It’s been said that the Internet was made for cat videos. And photos. And memes. But it’s not just about watching a fat cat squeeze into a large pot or two cats chirping to each other. Some famous Internet cats use their notoriety to help other animals. One of these cats is the famous feline from outer space, Lil Bub. This adorable “perma-kitten” is a rescue
From time to time, I’ve been asked for my “valued opinion” by an online survey in my inbox. As I click through screen after screen, I’ve found myself quickly losing patience. Fifteen minutes later, I’ve earned a dollar. Yippee! Let’s put that towards the kids’ college accounts! Not. So I was surprised to learn that a friend of my husband’s, a former stock broker, makes up
Father’s Day is only a few weeks away, and the last thing the dad in your life needs is another boring necktie or hardware store gift card – sorry, but it’s true. Even if you are on a limited budget, you can still give a classy gift in June. Get creative this year and show dad that a budget doesn’t sacrifice style, with these sophisticated Father’s Day
This Christmas I was on a very tight budget as I’ve been trying to save $5,000 for a 35-day trip to Europe. Saving for my trip has proven much harder than I had anticipated because of the holidays. By this point, I wanted to have saved $4,500, but I’ve only saved $3,000. I managed to save $3,000 by REALLY limiting my Christmas budget. Here are
I fell in love with the mini pinecone Christmas Elves for sale on Etsy – but not their price tag. One set of three is selling for as much as $34! Another set of five is selling for $45! Now, I’m not a professional crafter and my homemade Christmas ornaments are not perfect. But I think the money I’m saving makes up for any imperfections.
I haven’t even started my holiday shopping yet! Seriously, I have not made a single purchase towards all the items on my holiday list. At least this year my extended family has (mostly) decided exchange “couple” gifts. So my husband and I will give my sister and her husband one gift, and they as a couple will give us one gift. Less items to shop
Whether money is tight, I want to give something personal, or I just prefer to give my time and energy rather than spending money on “stuff,” sometimes giving a homemade coupon is just the ticket. But it’s also easy to fall into a “coupon rut.” Sometimes offering to do the dishes for a week, or wash the car, just doesn’t whip me into a frenzy
Even if you don’t believe in giving gift cards as gifts – which puts you in the minority – you should still be buying gift cards right now. Why? Because you can use them to buy Christmas presents and SAVE AN ADDITIONAL 10% off the bat. If you DONT buy discounted gift cards to buy Christmas presents, you are spending more money than you need to. Think
Though at times giving a gift card feels impersonal, — as if I’ve “cheated” from spending the time to truly figure out the perfect gift — I’ve come to realize that sometimes, a gift card can be the perfect gift. For teenagers, acquaintances or more distant relatives, or even for someone you know so well that the only perfect gift is to let them pick it out themselves,
Even when we intend to cut back, it seems like holiday shopping lists get longer and longer every year. It’s hard to keep track of who wants what, how much you’re spending, which stores you need to go to and what you still have left to buy. This year, make things easy on yourself by using an app on your smartphone that does all the
Every year as the holidays approach, I have such great intentions of making homemde gifts for my family and friends. But I never get around to deciding what to make until the last minute, and by then the holiday craziness has usually taken over and I can’t quite pull it off in time. This year, I’m using November to begin exploring gifts and setting aside
