Online surveys and mystery shopping get a bad rap. Many people think that they are just scams but there are really some great (and legitimate) companies out there that will pay you for your time and effort. And to prove it, here’s what I earned from online surveys and mystery shopping last month, among other […]
Phew! What a week it has been. We adopted a second dog last Sunday and it’s been a whirlwind of training, Petco purchases, long walks and runs, and trying to get our older dog to warm up to the new dog. Also this week I got picked to be a member of the VIP Launch […]
Image Credit I’m cheap. Thrifty. Frugal. Penny pinching. Embarrassingly so.

It’s January and that means it’s time for me to get in shape. I work out regularly but over the holidays I “relaxed” my diet way too much and gained 5 pounds. That’s what happens when it gets too cold to run outside and when you love pumpkin pie. Lucky for me I am already […]
