1. Jet Radar

Jet Radar is a cheap airfare meta search engine that crawls through 35 agency and 728 airline sites to find the best deal possible. You see, airlines don’t like customers using price comparison services, so they now make truly cheapest deals available only through their own websites and sometimes through exclusive partners who agree to promote the airline in return. So when you go to Expedia or Cheap Air, you might be missing the cheapest fare, unless you are willing to go to different airline sites and cross check the prices. With Jet Radar you can do this easily with one site.

Yes, a week out in Fiji or the Bahamas is probably out of the picture when your budget is limited, but there are still tons of ways you and your family can have fun. Read on as we provide you with wallet-friendly tips that you can put to work on your next weekend getaway.

• Explore and save. Try to stay away from the usual tourist spots and explore on your own. Most tours are high on cost while low on activity and fun. The only reason to join a tour is to avoid getting lost and possibly ending up in a bad part of town. In these times of GPS navigation and mobile Internet, your chances of getting horribly lost are slim. So don’t be afraid to go the scenic route and experience the food and activities previously reserved for locals and people in the know. This is what’s great with the newfound abundance of firsthand information now available online. Check out food blogs and consult forums for great hole-in-the-wall eateries and family restaurants. Even sceneries and activities are easy to research and experience on your own. With modern navigation and communication tools, you now have little excuse not to wander off the beaten path and really have a great time.
• Pack more than clothes on a road trip. A road trip is perfect as far as weekend getaways are concerned. It’s fun for the whole family, takes little preparation compared to other activities, and can be quite cheap if you know what you are doing. First of all, you have to practice restraint. Resist the urge to buy every trinket and souvenir. Also, you can save a lot when you don’t buy snacks and refreshments whenever you stop for gas or take bathroom breaks. Pack juice boxes and snacks by the box to save on cost. Pack a cooler and fill it with everything you need. You can buy your supplies in bulk at discount clubs to make the most out of every dollar. The reason behind this is that snacks are the same whether you buy them close to home or out on the road, so save a few dollars. You’re better off spending what you save on entertainment or eating real food.
• Know when to use paper or plastic. And no, I’m not talking about grocery bags. There is a time and place for cash and credit card purchases. When driving your own car, you can rack up quite a lot of points on most credit cards if you plan your route around places that accept them. This tactic is great for the added safety and convenience if you will mostly stay within larger cities. For remote places, it’s best to have cash stashed away for emergencies and small purchases. It’s often the case that smaller stores don’t have credit card terminals. It’s also good to withdraw a little more than what you think you will need. There’s nothing more frustrating than wasting half a day looking for an ATM in an unfamiliar place and then getting hit with insane service charges because you’re forced to use another bank’s machine.
• Use free miles. It takes a lot of preparation and patience, but you can travel for free. There are a lot of travel miles credit cards out there that allow you to accumulate airline miles every time you swipe your card. Charging a year’s worth of groceries and utility bills ought to rack up some significant mileage. You can then opt to use the free miles when you go on vacation. You instantly save on your fare, leaving a bigger budget for lodging, food, entertainment, and other expenses. When you approach vacations this way, you’ll realize that they are not that expensive for the wise consumer.

The principle behind every tip above is actually simple: you don’t have to spend much to have a great time. Instead of souvenirs, take pictures and make memories. Instead of taking packaged tours, explore on your own. And the most important takeaway lesson of all is to have quality time with your loved ones. Whether a quick weekend or a full-fledged overseas vacation, you can still have fun while staying within budget.

These are all jobs anyone with determination, a bit of skill and lots of energy – can do.  Look them over and let us know which job ideas we missed? Tell me in the comment area.

1. Jewelry Selling -

Kids can be creative creatures by nature and as such, make great artists. If you’re child has a creative flair, he or she can make jewelry on the side, to sell. Where would they sell it? They can sell their jewelry creations at various places, such as locally – online – or simply to family and friends via their social networks. (i.e. Facebook)

Money $$$ – Depending on how they sell it, whether a flat rate per piece, in bulk or sets – the skies the limit. Priced right, they could easily make a few hundred dollars per month.

2. Fixing Stuff -

This is another HUGE opportunity for kids to earn money, as adults many times do not have the time or energy to fix a broken gadget, piece of tech or other household item. Maybe your kid is a whiz at removing and cleaning virus filled laptops, or they can set up your entire household audio and stereo equipment at the blink of an eye – if that’s the case, they can help others with the same issue. Create a flyer and or simply have them mention it on their Facebook pages that they offer this service.

Money $$$ – They can charge by the project or by the hour, can make anywhere from a few hundred per month.

3. Yard Work -

This is a great idea for the kids that love to move around or those that have excess energy. Use the ADD to get them to earn some money. Most neighborhoods have senior adults that can’t mow their own lawns or simply need help with the chore and would gladly pay a local kid to aid in the job. How to get the word out? You can place a flyer in the church bulletin board or better yet – the church website. Let everyone know that your kid is looking for odd jobs and wants to make some money this Summer.

Money $$$ – $10 per hour, $25 per lawn, etc.

4. Website Design -

For the web savvy kids in the house, this is the perfect job for them. There are still lots of people who do not know how to create a website or blog and need the services of others to get it done. You would need to have your kid set up a website for themselves to advertise the service and also to showcase an example of their work. You can’t offer the service of web design and not have a website yourself, so first thing they have to do is create their own website. Make it awesome and make it smart. Meaning it has to have at a minimum – a good design, an About page, a Contact page and a Services page. Then create a Facebook page for it as well and just start getting the word out. Best bet is to niche and go after a certain group of people, whether it’s accountants, hair dressers, plumbers, etc. Go after a certain demographic and it will be easier to market to.

Money $$$ – A good 4 page website could easily go for $99 or more. You can always add upsells to increase the price, such as the creation of a Facebook page for an additional $45 and so on.

5. Writing -

You might not know this but there are quite a few kids earning money writing on the web. Either on their own sites or those of others. If your kid can write or has an affinity for writing, he or she – should hit the web and look for a web-based writing job. Where should they go to look for such a job? I recommend the Problogger Job Board from Darren Rowse, as most established and well known blog owners post here when looking for help. This is your best bet for a good writing job. Look at the requirements and see if you’re a good fit, then simply apply.

Money$$$ – Anywhere from $10 to $30 a post or more.

6. Errand Runner/Pet Sitting -

This is an old classic that still works for earning money on the side. Find out who in your local area has a dog or cat that needs some TLC because the owner is at work all day and can’t do it. Or maybe an older individual who can’t get out and walk his dog like he once did. These are all prime opportunities to help someone and make a few bucks in the process.

Money $$$ – $15 per hour, with a 2 hour minimum.

The ideas are endless, we can go on and on. Hope the six profiled above will get you excited about earning some money and or having your kid earn some money with his or her own job.

No need to fear as there are lots of good options for Mom that are North of $100 and still pack a wallop in the fun, appealing and or entertaining department. See below three such ideas that your Mom might love and appreciate that won’t leave you reaching for the nearest piggy bank.

3 Good Ways To Pamper Mom Under $100

1. Soothing Spa Massage

What mom doesn’t need a break from the everyday hustle and bustle of taking care of everyone else but herself. One way to pamper your mom this Mother’s Day could take the form of a soothing Spa massage from a nearby boutique. You can even add (in most cases) an accompanying manicure and still keep the total bill under $100. Look around your town for a local masseuse that takes in new patients and shower your mom with the gentle gift of touch.

2. Tickets To Local Ballgame

If your mom is anything like my mom, she loves the local ball team in your city and what better gift than a pair of tickets to an upcoming game. My hometown city is Chicago which makes my mom a Chicago Cubs fan through and through, she loves her Cubbies. If your mom is also a big fan, then treat her accordingly. As for cost? A pair of tickets to decent seating at the local stadium should net just under $100 if you don’t opt for the fancy pants box seats. Go Cubs!

3. Homemade Meal And Dessert

This is an oldie but a goodie and works like charm every time. It’s sort of like Christmas or Thanksgiving where you do all the work – cooking, cleaning and prep – and she gets to simply enjoy it all. This is especially nice if your mom still has young children at home to look after and a much needed break from the kitchen is in order. You could make her favorite meal or cook something entirely new and hope she likes it, or you could have it catered. We kid, do not have it catered – this is suppose to be your DIY treat for mom.

Think outside the box and create a memorable event for mom this Mother’s Day. Hope our three tips above have inspired an idea or three and if so, do come back here and please share.

The problem I have always had with other coupon clip services is that I couldn’t cherry pick only the coupons I wanted and or had to buy in bulk. With Klip 2 Save you can buy only the coupons you need, and there’s no requirement to buy in bulk or coupons you know you will not be using.

Visit Klip2save

They have a very simple set up, you pick the coupons you want, pay for them and they mail them to you straight away.  However another bonus is that they have the Sunday insert coupons on their website as early as Wednesday and ship them asap.

Visit Klip2save

I don’t happen to be a big coupon clipper because it has never been super convenient for me, but am definitely going to give Klip 2 Save a try.

What do you think? Are you going to give Klip 2 Save a try and see if finally someone has made coupon clipping painless.
