[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 63921, member: 148"] Loose change at the end of the day goes in the Animal Cracker jar (cashed in a year and a half worth of $752.33 the other day for my wife's vacation money). I also do on line paid surveys and have received nearly $75.00 in checks and have 3 different survey accounts with $50-60 in each. Started doing the survey thing this past spring. I am also a Neilsen home shopper. I scan the bar codes of all I buy and transmit that data to the Neilsen company. I get reward points and when the accumulate enough I can cash out and select products from them (saves me money as I don't have to buy them). Buying store brand items helps at the grocery store, for instance my wife likes Mother's sandwich wheat bread. It is $3.19 for a 24oz loaf. Piggly Wiggly sandwich wheat bread is $1.59 for a 24oz loaf. Taste the same to me... I also keep an eye on the market as far as oil prices and when it goes up I get ready to top off our gas tanks. We have one station that is always the last to go up and if I see the others jump up I know I have 1 more day to fill up. Interesting tidbit, Illinois state law (others as well probably) limits gas stations to raising gas prices to once per day. [/QUOTE]
