Get Gift Cards at a Discount

I recently found a very cool site that lets you purchase gift cards for major retailers at a discount. Cardpool is legitimate. You only save about 2.5% on the major retailers, but that's still less than what you would have originally paid.



You can get digital or regular gift cards so you can use them two ways. You can use them as gifts (and noone needs to know you got them at a discount) or you can use them as cash yourself. When you have a purchase planned go to Cardpool and buy yourself a gift card.

You've already saved money on your intended purchase.

My next post will show you how to combine some of these sites to increase your discount and maybe even make a little bit of a profit.

Make Money - SendEarnings.com update #4

It's been a few months since I put sendearnings.com up here and I thought I would do an account update for all of you.

I admit that you won't earn a living off of this, but you can a few dollars. I spend maybe two minutes a week on it. They send me an email that I click on, then when it takes me to their site I do a handful of searches. I only make a few cents a week, but an extra $30 in my pocket every year or two is still nice to have.

I am only up to $6.92 which means I have earned less than a $1 since April, but like I said, I'm not planning to get rich from this. I just want a little bit of extra cash.

If you click on one of these banners you get a $5 head start.

Nelves by Joni

My last several posts have been on saving and making money, something we all need to do, so I thought it was time that I flipped back over to the re-purposing/recycling part of my blog.

I want to introduce you to Nelves, The Nature Loving Elves by my friend Joni. She started making these a short while ago as a way to try and get an income and they have taken off.
Nelves Nature Loving Elves! Nelves help Mother Nature look her best! Hand made and no two are exactly the same.
Nelves are fun
They laugh, they play
They take care of nature in a really great way!
They talk to the trees, the bears and the bees.
They make flowers grow and help rivers flow
They take care of the fish and the birds
The ocean and the forest
The mountains and deserts
The parks and fields
They live in the tree in the middle of a field
In the coral in the ocean
In the park and the city
They can’t be seen but they are there
Helping nature happily
Don’t think they are rude
They don’t mean to intrude
But they can’t help but stop in your garden
To give an encouraging word to the things that you grow
Just wanted you to know
They are here now to ask for your help
You can help in so many ways
Little things really, but they pile up in a hurry.
Pick up the garbage, the can and the wrapper.
Throw out that garbage! Recycle that box!
Reduce, reuse and recycle all that you can!
One last thing they ask and it’s not hard at all
Plant a seed, plant a garden of veggies or flowers
Plant a tree for the future
Help them grow
The Nelves say thank you!

Make Money: Zerys.com

As I said in an earlier blog post you can make some money by writing, the problem is knowing where to start.


If you want to write and make some money fairly quickly then I suggest you head over to zerys.com. You make a fortune, but, if you can write, then you can pull in some money. Don't expect to start writing instantly. You need to fill out their application and submit a writing sample.

An editor at zerys will review your sample and give you a rating. This rating gives you your initial standing at zerys. Once you've been approved you log in, fill out your profile and start looking at jobs available on the board.

If your initial rating is low then you will probably start out with articles that only pay .7 to 1.4 cents per word, but it's a start, and once you up your rating you can choose higher paying jobs. Your rating increases with your quality and is judged by the clients.

This is a good place to get a feel for what people want written and a great place to return to when your budget is running a little short at the end of the month.

Money Saving Tip #10

A great way to save money on your cable bill is to not have one. Cable is expensive and is there really anything on it that you want to watch?

I'll admit that there are a few shows that I watch regularly, but there are legal ways you can still watch them and it will cost you a fraction of cable.
