I havent been able to post -- am still a newbie for posting but have been hanging around this site for about a year now!! Hopefully this will post!! I'm not sure if I have posting privileges..

My husband had back surgery 2 years ago and had to retire -- since then it has been back and forth to the hospital, doctors offices, this and that.. etc etc.. -- Anyways I have not been able to work a part time or a full time ( regular ) job -- between him and the kids -- I think I have pulled out all of my hair -- and should be looking for a freebie wig!!

EDITED by ADMIN

This is what I did yesterday -- I went up to the gas station to pull out some money ( needed to stop by the grocery store for milk ) but the milk guy was there and was hauling milk out of the store -- instead of in -- I stopped him and asked what he was doing with the milk going out -- he told me all he does is take it back to the warehouse where it sits -- and then eventually a pig farmer comes and buys the milk for the pigs.... I told him I needed a gallon -- could i just purchase one from him -- he said no but I can give you a couple --- That was awesome!!
He told me his wife used freecycle and was an avid couponer and that they look to save money all the time -- I gave him a couple of coupons for snapple that I can get free this week at giant eagle for the ( trade ) -- it was so cool to meet other people that Know what I am talkin about!!

Anyways not to go on and on -- which is what i am doing -- its just fun to get free stuff!!!

Freebies rule!!

maryjd123,
I am new here and haven't posted enough times to pm you. Could you pm me? Thanks!

I did! I found it very difficult. People did not want to pay the high prices, the shipping cost is very high so people would put orders together to save and the host would not get the gifts for an order count. CC candles are made by the same company and you can get them at JCPenny. I also found that partlite sells its discountinued/overstock items to close-out stores. I would walk into a local Maces and find items I was selling for $35. for .99. It also became to much to keep the new items in my show- I was spending my pay on candles!

Hi I love the ideas we all are busy. So let me tell you what I do......

I run a daycare in home for 4 years now from 7-5:30 I have 7 in care with my two

I change out the coupons at Kroger you know those red blinkie boxes. I go once a week and change out the deals.

I run my own business selling adult novelties, toys, and lingere....No I don't work for anyone but my self it is my own company. I do home parties just like the pther companies but alot cheaper, working on my website.

I also help an agency find surrogates and Intended Parent's......I am a surrogate I had twins in April for a couple so it is easy for me to help others out.

and after all that I spend time with my family.

That is awesome that you are a surrogate! What a great way to help others have a family!!

chacha.com and sign up to be a guide. You will probably not hear back right away but its at home and worth it! You work on your computer by logging into a website and helping people find things online. I quit a bit ago but mainly because they make you test and I failed the test and got discouraged but its really not all that hard. Newbies may not even have to test so just check it out!

I would love to change out the blinkies, what company do you work for?

I run a home based business. I'm a Tupperware consultant. I always make 25% on all sales, plus we get discounts up to 35% on New products! The more I sell, the more I make! I love getting bonus checks in the mail!Anyone I bring into the business, I make percentages of their sales and earn a BONUS item9(s) for them joining my team! Plus I have a website for shopping and I get a check for those sales too! gotta love it! I love w hat I do!

I work from home for a Behavioral Health company. I telecommute and have to go into the office one to two times a month. I have a set schedule and pay. It is like working a reg job, but at home. I still pay for daycare because I am on the phone must of the day, but I don't have to pay gas prices which is a plus.

I work at home part-time for Lionbridge. It's great work and no phones! It's all on the computer.

I am an eBay seller and also have a shop on Etsy. Sales have been a lot slower on eBay since gas prices went up. I have only sold a few things on Etsy but they say it picks up right before x-mas.

I also mystery shop for Beyond Hello and Confero. They don't have a lot of shops in my area but when they do they are usually pretty good.

What is Lionbridge? and how do you get a job with them?

I was wondering that too, so I looked them up. You can go here for the qualificiations and information.

I am an AVON Independent Sales Rep and I LOVE IT!!! It is so easy to work around my families schedule. I am also actively recruiting, so that will add additional income on a monthly basis for my family. Plus I can get great deals on stuff for myself!!!

I am a sahm.I do flea market sales & yard sales .Sale on Ebay for resale items.

Does anyone out there do Medical Transcription. I am looking into taking a course and was wondering if anyone had any advice.

For all that are interested in making some extra money: I am a Tupperware consultant. I average $200 a week profit (that's 2 parties a week). I also have a website where people can s hop online and offer book parties. Online shopping is ideal, I get a check for 25% profit, and all I did was provide the site (min $7.95 a month, first 30 days are free). book parties are pretty easy, pass out catalogs and order forms, decide on a ending date. I try to schedule 3-4 book parties during the same time frame, have the "hosts" come to me to drop them off and in one night, I'm closing out 3-4 parites. when they come, I offer another free gift (from stock).

Also, Tupperware offers SIGN-ON bonuses, from cash to more products FREE / discounted!

It's not a GET RICH quick thing, but if you're looking for exra money, TUPPERWARE is hiring!

We have 2 kits to choose from and I can even HELP YOU EARN your Kit!

For more information, please PM me or Email me direclty at Tuppergirl06320@yahoo.com

For me, I sell on eBay as much as I can. Mostly clothes from yard sales, thrift stores or outlets. I've also had great luck whenever I can get my hands on older video games and vintage Barbies (think 1960's)
