Usually I talk about how to make money. Today, I am going to talk about how to save some money without sacrificing anything. I am not giving you every idea I could possibly come up with, but just a few to get you started. I must inform you though, if you begin too many new routines at once it can add more stress than will be worthwile. Start with these, and then check back -- I will add more in time.
1.) Eat at Home. Even if you and your significant other work, even eating at home a few times a week can save you some money when compared to eating out for every meal.
2.) Grow a Garden. I am not suggesting that you spend hours and fill your entire yard with a garden. Simply growing a few vegetables that you prefer the most can save you a good bit after a short time. If you live in a home without a yard, try stopping by a street-side seller. Many farmers will travel (even into the city) if they feel they will get business. If you take a look around on your next drive I would bet you could find some veggies for much less than the grocery store.
3.) Date Early. We all know that dinner hours are when restaraunts charge the most, and the weekends are even worse. So, make it a lunch date. It's new -- and will not only save you some money if you already intended on going out, but it will also change your relationship around a little bit. See a movie mid-day if that's what you like to do, eat lunch out instead of dinner.
4.) Envelope System. If you or anyone in your household falls victim to impulse buying, (Ok, so maybe we all do) use the envelope system. Sit down and balance out when you will pay which bills (yes, you probably already do this). When the time comes for payday use an envelope for each thing that needs paid for. (Bills seperated into an envelope each, Groceries, Gasoline, spending money, etc.) Make sure there is enough money in each envelope for the things that you cannot go without. Always leave at least something for spending money if at all possible. Even if it is just $20.00 each paycheck. When the money runs out, item just runs out. Give each person a small amount each week or month. Inform them of how long it will be before they get any more money. Try it for a month or two. I noticed a difference the first paycheck I tried this on, and I have done it ever since.

You Need Paypal
Paypal is a website used for sending and receiving money safely over the internet. You may not understand why you need Paypal and that is exactly why I am posting this here today.
Many GPT websites offer payment via Paypal. You can receive your money instantly when you cashout. You will never have to wait for a check from most GPT sites again!
I have taken the following information from the Paypal website.
PayPal is designed from the ground up to be a safer way to send money online. PayPal doesn’t expose or sell your financial information to merchants.
Question :
Is PayPal free?
Answer :
You can sign up for a PayPal account for free, and there's no charge to transfer funds from your bank account to your PayPal account.
There are fees in other instances such as:
If you have a Personal account, you have the option to accept credit card payments. You'll pay a fee if you choose to accept a credit card payment.
If you have a Premier or Business account, you'll pay a fee to receive payments.

Pinecone Research
As stated on their website, "Pinecone research is at the forefront of "online research", today's sophisticated and leading-edge approach to gathering consumer opinions. Consumer input is vital to the development of new and improved products."
Pinecone Research is the hardest survey company to join, but if you can succeed, it is well worth it. They allow you to give your opinions on products still under development, as well as allowing you to test those products (if you choose to).
With PineCone Research you will receive a check with payment after every survey you complete. Payments in the U.S. are usually $3.00 per standard survey, which is well worth it when compared to most other survey companies.
The only so-called downfall to this website is for those who attempt to skim through their surveys. Skimmers will quickly be removed from the website, without pay. You must take your time with every survey and offer honest responses and opinions.
I would recommend you check out Annika's website if you would like to find out what it takes to join. You cannot just visit Pinecone's website and join. It is not that simple. Visit Annika's site and read carefully. And of course, have a great day and check back soon for more information on how to earn more cash!

Your 2 Cents
Your 2 Cents it is a very interesting opinion survey GPT site. They have no referral program, so I will never earn anything whether you sign up or not. But, it is one I have to recommend as I have come to enjoy this site.
They do not send out very many surveys each week, but you earn between $1 and $5 for each one. (Usually $2 - $3 each). They pay by check, and although the checks take a while to arrive, it's stil well worth it. The surveys are short and they are not the type that ask you to sign up for any other websites.
This website truly does ask for your opinion on things, information on your lifestyle (no personal information), etc.
If you are interested in making some money, this website is a must try!

World Winner
Ok, so I've tried out World Winner. (For those of you who don't know it's an online gaming site where you deposit money and for example pay 1.00 and if you win your prize is 3.65 or so.) Anyway though, actually in all honesty, there for a while I was addicted to World Winner. I played and played, finally reaching the sought after premier club (750 cash games in one month. whoa.) This site seemed amazing, until one day a pop-up notification came up stating that I had to claim this website on my taxes because I had "earned" over $650.00. That's when it hit me -- I never withdrew a penny of that money (Although I did deposit a hell of a lot of money). I recommend to all of you that if you are trying to make money online you completely avoid this website. It sounds like a great money making scheme, but truly -- it is harder than it seems.
Just Linking Back
Ok, so here goes a list of anyone I need to link back to (in the order which I found them) Check these guys out. Some of these sites are amazing!!

Need Money Today?
For those of you who are unfamiliar, let me begin by explaining a few things before I begin my story. “GPT” is a phrase you will see a lot in paid internet work. The initials GPT stand for the phrase “get paid to”. What does that mean exactly? Well, GPT read e-mails, GPT click on advertisements, GPT write articles. None of those are what I am hear to talk about though. Today I am discussing GPT take surveys and trials.
Now, most of you are probably like me in the fact that you might be leary about giving your credit card information out. Guess what? You don’t have to. Nor do you have to pay some large lump sum of money out to begin earning money. In fact, if you like you don’t have to give anything out at all!! I know, I know. You can’t figure out what I’m talking about, can you? Well, here’s the thing: Keep Reading.
If you’ve ever been down on your luck you know what it’s like to need cash right away, even if you work a full-time job. Maybe it’s just not paying all the bills. That’s ok. Please, don’t get excited and jump onto a search engine looking for GPT sites. I did that. Guess where it got me…. Straight into a long period of wasted time with no pay. When you need to pay a bill, or something of that nature, you need money right then, am I correct? Well, then you need a site that pays good money and pays it fast.
Can you take a guess that the site I stated you needed it the site I found? Good. Great guess. Well, first things first I will discuss what you need, before I discuss where you need to go. Keep reading all the way down through and then I will give you a quick step-by-step list of what to do. You’re going to need a PayPal account. Why? So you can get paid of course! With a paypal account you will receive payments from most websites within minutes of requesting them; and with the website I am discussing today you will have an amazingly low $2.00 minimum (and trust me, that will not take more than a minute or two once you get started).
Next, you need to check out this website that I have absolutely become addicted to: Cash Lagoon. The site’s layout and design is nothing to die for, but the offers are incredible; especially when combined with the lightning fast payout.
When you sign up it will ask for some general information, including your e-mail address and phone number. Be sure to use correct information. The e-mail address needs to be linked to your paypal, and you cannot change it after signup. The same story goes with your phone number. They will only use your phone number to verify your Cash Lagoon account and your first Paypal payment request.
I would recommend the credit card offers. “Why?” you ask. Simply for one reason, to multiply your money. Here’s how it works: (For example) The offer is for a 14-day trial with an initial charge of $2.95. Yes, you will be charged the $2.95 immediately, and no you will not get it back BUT Cash Lagoon will most likely be offering a payment of +$10.00. (And you can take that opportunity on tons of free offers). Think about it: You spend an hour filling out 10 offers with that exact turnover. You would be making over $70.00 in one hour, and you would have that money in your Paypal within minutes. (Just do not forget to cancel any trial you decide you are not interested in within the allotted time.)
Also, please don’t get me wrong; I definitely recommend that you try out the free offers as well. They do add up quickly, and I have made plenty of money off of them as well, it just depends on the time you care to spend and how much money you would like to have made when the day is done.
Anyway, I believe this has become a long enough post, so I believe it shall come to an end now. Below you will find your step by step instructions on how to begin making money off of this amazing website.
1.) Head over to Paypal and start an account. (Of course it's free.)
2.) Check out Cash Lagoon and start an account. (Yep, free too.)
3.) Click on the "Available Offers" link and check out what they have to offer.
4.) When you are ready to get paid check out "Available Prizes".
5.) Let me know if you have any problems. I will be glad to help!
