Money Making Tips

2015-01-27T13:46:00.000-08:00

Become a Numismatic - Check out the coins or bills that are currently being collected. Get on a numismatic blog or check out Ebay to see what sells. Some coins and bills can even be traded on Listia for credits that you can use later for anything from toothpicks to gift cards.

Easy ones for beginners are:

Silver coins - Basically any quarters, nickels or dimes before 1965 have a silver percentage. Some half dollars are the same. Check out this link for more complete information: List of Coins with Silver Content
Replacement bank notes or "Star Notes" - What happens when bills are ripped, torn, damaged, etc? They are replaced with star notes. Star notes are made in limited runs which make them more valuable and somewhat collectible. A star note with a low serial number is even better.
Low Serial Numbers - Serial numbers under 1000 are somewhat collectible. Under 100 are definitely collectible.
Fancy Serial Numbers - Birthday, Radar, Consecutive, Ladder, Bookends, etc. There are several ways to find serial numbers that people are looking to have as a part of their collections.

I, Trissy by Norma Mazer

A great, quick read. Story is fun while dealing with some serious coming of age issues. It's fast because of the way that it's laid out. There are pages that are just a picture spelled out in typewriter symbols. There are little skits and plays written in there and it's like a very large collection of diary entries and school assignments. I liked it. Easy to relate to.

It's a bargain bin book. I recommend buying it.

Book Report - The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

2014-02-25T07:52:00.002-08:00

10:40am - Entering book report.

I picked up a copy of The Efect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds by Paul Zindel and found it a quick and well written read. Everything inside was quick and effective. I obtained a copy of 2005 version of the book and my only regret in reading it was that I didn't have a copy of the original 1972 printing with the nicer cover artwork.

I'm also really surprised that I never had to read this in high school or either of the colleges that I went to.

11:00 am - Update from a 2 year lapse in blogging.

I would apologize but this is my usual behavior. I get so caught up in what I'm doing that I tend to forget to write it all down. Several contributing factors can also be blamed. The bulk of which include: a bad breakup from an abusive relationship, severe panic attacks crippling me for almost an entire year, births in the family, several deaths of close family members and pets, vehicle repair monstrosities, caring for loved ones, two home moves, two new pets and a reawakened passion for knitting.

As I get older I readjust my financial plan. In September of this year I will turn 30 and will be living under a $70,000 student loan debt which has already and will continue to prevent me from the dream of home ownership.

My back is killing me. I've been lax in my gym-time since the move to the new home in December. The frigid and hazardous weather this winter in Ohio has kept me pretty much in bed for over a month. The cat doesn't mind.

http://www.ravelry.com - Ravelry is a place for yarn weavers. I have so far completed one pattern and will be added more as I can. You can charge what you want for your patterns which is very nice to have the flexibility to do so. It's publishing within your target yarn weaving audience.

http://www.amazon.com/ - Picking up on my Amazon selling in a big way. The more I can do to save my physical being from being worn down the better. I am trying to use my mind more and more and Amazon provides an outfit for my ability to sit in a store for hours while I research what I should invest in for resale. I am currently amassing a fairly large amount of knowledge in the fields of antique and vintage books and flatware. It is tedious to say the least but is a nice accompainment to my knowledge of low-mid range glassware.

http://www.clothesmentor.com/ - Always thrift to upgrade. Is it a great name brand item but not in your size? If it's a dollar then it's worth buying and putting in a bag to take along to a cosignment shop or other local store that buys new or gently used clothing items. Clothes Mentor is one of my favorites but you have to know how to function in their environment. Your clothing being accepted will of course depend on the brand, style, appearance, etc but other outside factors could be as simple as the time of day that you bring them in. If you have many items and there is a long line of people selling their items this can lead to the sales associate maybe not taking as long in looking your items over and perhaps passing on something that they missed. When all else fails here remember that shoes and purses are always big sellers.

Music - Much to the dismay of my developing arthritis that wakes me up in the middle of the night I have opted to pick up my guitar again. I have also started applying my cello skills to viola and have found that apart from the awkward position of having the instrument up under my neck and my arm out to the side instead of in front of me that much of the same principles are applying. I do not know if I'll ever successfully understand how to read Alto clef. Bass clef is fairly well engraved into my brain and I could muddle my way through Treble and Tenor enough to play along with the rest of an orchestra but Alto seems to be just too closely related to the patterns in the Bass clef for me to wrap my head around. My singing has come along quite nicely most likely a combination of my aging and lack of smoking (smoke free for about 2 years now). Don't ask me for tips on quitting smoking. I was only able to quit after smoking everyday for a decade after a developing allergy to nicotine started causing me numbness in my face. At least I hope that that's what it was. I had taken several trips to the hospital hoping to figure out what the numbness in my face was. They would examine me, drug test me and then send me home and tell me to relax.

Flatware Jewelry - My latest interest in flatware was peeked by a sudden fancy to make jewelry out of it. It's a difficult and delicate process at times in order to get the metal shaped properly and each flatware pattern brings with it different challenges to get the design at a nice setting on the band while it's being worn. It's not always easy to accept that you have made an error on a piece of vintage silver flatware that you most likely won't be able to find again.

Restarting Couponing - I've had about a year long lapse in any serious couponing. The bulk of my couponing has taken place at CVS (my favorite store for couponing) and at Dollar Tree since they started accepting manufacturer coupons. Most of what I coupon is cosmetics but I find myself needed to restock on just about everything nowadays. I will post results along with some receipts once I get everything back into order again.

Product Review - diet Snapple BRET'S BLEND TEA TROP A ROCKA - 4-23-2011

2011-04-23T06:16:00.000-07:00

Diet Snapple Bret's Blend Tea Trop-A-Rock Tropical Tea, Six - 16 fl. oz. Bottles

On sale this week at Giant Eagle. $1 off coupon available. Mail in rebate available in some areas. (But I've yet to be able to get my hands on one.)

I bought it regardless because I was already shopping and $3.99 (with coupon) for six bottles of Snapple is fan-freakin-tastic.

I've been trying to get more black and green teas into my diet. Unable to tolerate sugar, due to onsets of sugar induced headaches and stomach aches which are yet to be resolved, I have been opting for more "diet" and "sugar free" options in my diet. Especially in drinks.

The "Trop-a-Rocka" completely threw me off. The design of the bottle is a bit busy. I picked it because I thought it was just a blend of black and green teas fully expecting it to be awful but good for me at the same time. If I would have turned the bottle around I would have found the tropical factor of the tea and put it into the mix.

I took one sip of this stuff and my brain almost exploded. It's like a cabana in a bottle (without the coconut).

CVS Haul 4-10-2011 - Practical Extreme Couponing Trip

2011-04-09T22:33:00.000-07:00

CVS is da bomb.

On this trip I had $13.99 in extra bucks to start with.

***How CVS Extra Care Bucks Work***
The trick with Extra Bucks is to think of them like CVS Money.
In order to keep recieving free items you have to USE CVS MONEY to GET MORE CVS MONEY.

If you end up getting items that don't give you CVS money you have to give up some of you CVS money for free...or pay with actual currency. Which means that the items that don't give you CVS money back are coming out of pocket...and that they are not actually free.

I lost $3.99 in Extra Bucks on this trip because I was going after the Air Wick stuff and that stuff sells out fast. I got to the store right after work (a little after midnight) and just about everything I wanted was already gone. I had prepared for this by bringing extra coupons with me because I just knew it would happen and I don't do rain checks. I have enough little pieces of paper to deal with.

Ok. To start this trip I flipped through the CVS weekly ad. It wasn't all that great this week but they did have the perfume that my Mom really likes so I set it up so that I could get the bottle down as low as possible since there is no MF for it.

Everybody still with me?
I'll post the receipts here when I get a chance.

Okay.

There was a problem with these receipts also. On the first receipt the bubbles didn't give me my Extra Care Bucks. So they printed them up for me. The perfume also didn't give me my Extra Care Bucks. They printed those for me as well.

Trip Summary:
First Transaction (To get Extra Bucks towards the perfume):
I "bought":
1 - Lysol Freshmatic Kit (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
1 - Lysol Neutra Air (Freaking love this stuff!) (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
1 - Jet Dry by Finish (My Nana uses it a lot) (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
2 - Air Wick 2 pack refills (Had MF Coupons, Got Extra Bucks)
1 - Russel Stover Candy Egg (Got Extra Bucks, Item was technically free)
1 - Bubbles (Got Extra Bucks, Item was technically free)
2 - 2 packs of Schick razors (Had MF Coupon, Came out to .29 cents a pack, YES PLEASE!!!)

I "paid":
Trip Total - 46.10
Total Saved - 42.67
Extra Bucks Spent - $13.99
Extra Bucks Earned - $12.74
Extra Bucks Lost - $1.25
Total Spent Out of Pocket - 3.43

Second Transaction (The make Mom happy purchase):
I "bought":
1 - Pack of smokes (For me. Because I'm stressed.)
1 - S by Shakira (Got Extra Bucks)

I "paid":
Trip Total - 24.75
Total Saved - 13.69
Extra Bucks Spent - $12.74
Extra Bucks Earned - $10.00

Totals:

I forgot to take in my reusable bag to scan the tag and get closer to that $1 Extra Care Buck. But I've been awake far to long to make a fuss about it.

I hope next weeks ad has food in it that has MF Coupons. My coupon box is about ready to explode!!!

Bring it on CVS!!!

CVS Haul 4-4-2011 - Practical Extreme Couponing Trip

2011-04-05T21:51:00.000-07:00

CVS can be wonderful.

On this trip I had $15 in extra bucks to start with.
I also had a $4 off of $20 CVS coupon.

***Tip*** IF USING A $4 OR $5 OFF OF $20 OR $25 - BEFORE YOU GIVE CVS ANY MANUFACTORS COUPONS OR EXTRA BUCKS GIVE THEM THE $4 OR $5 OFF $20 OR $25 FIRST!
The trick with Extra Bucks is to think of them like CVS Money.
In order to keep recieving free items you have to USE CVS MONEY to GET MORE CVS MONEY.

If you end up getting items that don't give you CVS money you have to give up some of you CVS money for free...or pay with actual currency. Which means that the items that don't give you CVS money back are coming out of pocket...and that they are not actually free.

I lost a few Extra Bucks on this trip because I bought a few items that did not give me Extra Bucks back in return...but they were very low in price after the manufactors coupon. And I bought a few items that DID give me back Extra Bucks AND I had a manufactors coupon for but were still very low in price.

Ok. To start this trip I flipped through the CVS weekly ad. I bought everything that gave me all my money back in extra bucks, everything I had a manufactors coupon for that brought down the price to something ridiculously low and also gave me Extra Bucks back. And I bought a few things that I had manfactors coupons for but didn't give me Extra Bucks back....

Everybody still with me?

Okay.

There were actually two mistakes on this receipt. The first mistake was that one of my manufactors coupons for $2.00 rang up as an item. I informed the clerk about this and they gave me two dollars back in cash.

The second mistake was that one of the toothbrushes...for reasons unknown...didn't ring up as part of the sale. I informed the clerk about this and they printed me up another $2 in Extra Bucks.

Trip Summary:

I "bought":
2 - Softsoap body washes (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
1 - Irish Spring Deoderant (had a bonus bottle of Irish Spring Body Wash attached to it. Love those!!!) (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
2 - Dawn Ultra Dishsoaps (Had MF Coupon)
2 - Listerine Mouthwashes (Had MF Coupon)
1 - Crest Clinical Toothpaste (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
2 - Oral B 3D White Toothbrushes (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)
1 - Right Guard Body Wash (Had MF Coupon, Got Extra Bucks)

I "paid":
Trip Total - 45.53
Total Saved - 45.02
Extra Bucks Spent - $15.00
Extra Bucks Earned - $13.50
Extra Bucks Lost - $1.50
Total Spent Out of Pocket - .51 cents

Plus...I had $3.00 in Extra Bucks on my account that I needed to print up. Which I now have for next week.

Today (4-6-2011) I went back to CVS and I bought contact solution with my Extra Bucks.
The contact solution was $8.99 and it gives you back $8.99 in Extra Bucks.
Paid with Extra Bucks and got all of them back...End result = FREE CONTACT SOLUTION.
I also bought a reusable bag tag that gives you $1 in Extra Bucks every 4th time it is scanned.
I was looking for the Sierra mist natural 2 liter of soda. Which is on sale for .99 and I have a coupon for $1 off but every CVS I go to is out of the damn stuff.

I'm ready for next weeks ad.

Bring it on CVS!!!

Still better than a dollar store. Especially since I'm a sucker for condiments.
