sweet money saving tips & websites.

so lately ive been checking out some websites trying to find ways to save $... when you're unemployed it becomes quite clear you need to cut spending and with a shopping addiction that can be really frustrating!  so now, i just use coupons and i can still shop, YAY! 

I currently found Ebates which is a site you can go through to shop at certain websites and actually get cash back from them!  i havent gotten any cash back yet but apparently i am due about 5.60 and its only been a few weeks so i figure 5 bucks is better than nothing and esp. when i didnt have to do much for it!  so anyhow, i went to magazines.com (through the ebates site listed above) and ordered a few magazines for cheap, one being good housekeeping (thats right, me.. the one who just a year ago was doing keg stands has become domesticated and reads mags to save money, cook, all sorts of shiz like that vs the old cosmo and glamour mags) 

anyhow, point here is that i was looking through good housekeeping and found some cool websites to check out that will help you save some cash!  -- here goes

Gas prices  - click this link and you can enter your zip code and find out where to get the best gas prices in your area.  gas prices can vary from 10 to 15 cents in the south metro pretty much any day of the week so you can really save big!  look at it this way.  if you fill your car up with 12 gallons once a week and save 10 cents every time over a year you will have pocketed an extra $62.40!  hey, its not going to make you a millionaire but you could go out for dinner and a movie and thats okay with me!

i wont blab so much about the rest....

retailmenot.com
couponcabin.com
 fatwallet.com
coupons.com

the sites above will all save you money with coupons or codes to shop, sometimes it can take a bit of time to deal with but its worth checking out. recently ive gone grocery shopping and saved an average of $20 per trip! 

i recently booked a hotel room at the hyatt in the cities for, 2 nights, at $109.00 total, including taxes and fees through priceline.com.  i did this pretty last minute, maybe 2 days before... super nice room and minimum effort.

thats all ive got for now... just felt like sharing some of my recent knowledge and saving some cash... hope you can too!

happy friday, wishing you all a very lovely weekend xx
