Saving money Part 2

I am very frugal. I may have said it before but my favourite tip is to save all of my change and at Christmas I have always had enough for a turkey and ham and roasting chicken. I did so well this year as I have just changed out my money that I am putting my change in a container already for next Christmas. Next a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide will clean most things. Just put some in a spray bottle for cleaning surfaces etc with water. Read fine print for moire info. Vinegar is used a lot in my house to clean THE FLOOR TILES ETC. Always use half of recommended amount of detergent in washing machine and always wash on cold cycle and the shortest possible cycle for clean clothes. I too have not yet taken my amount for Mylot - but this is because I have really messed up my account with pay pal and haven't yet worked out how to rectify it!

Ah, here you are. You could also keep your payout at $10 but put the money in an interest-bearing savings account each time you collect and then by the time you have reached $100 there will be a few dollars more saved up.

This is a great idea, Anne 18 ! When you talk about saving money, you are talking 'my language'!

Hey, that's a good idea. I've considered putting the payout to $100.00 but my husband and I were first waiting until after I wedding (I believe) and then now after Christmas. I think it'd be safe for me to put it at $100.00 but I'd have to ask hubby his opinion. That and I also think that I'd rather be able to earn say $50.00 a month here before I put the total at $100.00. In any case, I'm sorry I forgot to brainstorm on the last discussion. My husband and I are buying on amazon and using amazon gift cards we earn online to pay for some of our purchases. You can save these codes in your amazon account and then when you get ready to purchase something you can use them or wait. Amazon has great deals, great shipping and often has super saver shipping for free with bulk orders! Now another thing is to get a can of pringles and eat them (not all in one setting) but place the money in the cans. We had a friend at one time who mentioned that to us, and we thought it was a great idea. Now we do that and though we haven't been saving it helps. We also have envelopes in our closet to divide our money and place it in the door. We have a bill folder, and we have a lot of folders we no longer need.

I have lots of money saving ideas, so here goes - Turn the temperature down on radiators. When the heating is on, close all doors and windows. If you over boil the kettle, put the extra water in a thermos flak and use for your next brew. Watch TV in the dark. Go food shopping when items are reduced and buy stuff that can be frozen.

It is good habites to save money

hmmm...I keep my payout at $10...but then I rarely use my paypal account. Right now we are just accumulating money in there as we don't really want to spend any money.

Like your idea of raising your payout amount and being paid after you earn $100.00. Good way to save for next Christmas. When you have time, please see the link on my profile page. No charge to join and you can let the money sit in your PayPal account once you reach payout. It works for me.

i like mylot for that reason but i dont shop a whole lot of shopping online but i do transfer the money over to our bank account. plus, i shop all through the year for christmas.

That sounds like a good idea. Many of us tend to spend money as we get it. That's mainly where the problem lies. If we could avoid spending the Mylot money as we get it, it would be better to take it every 10 dollars we make though. If we wait until we have 100, then that's all we have. But if you have a bank account that pays some interest (some accounts do), then putting the 10 into that account as you get it will end up giving you more than 100 by the end of the year. Leaving it in Mylot gives you no interest.

As of now I have used my online earnings to buy the presents that I have got. I think it's a great idea to save for a whole year. I'm like you, I like being here so the money is really just a perk. I do a few different things online..nothing huge but I do get paid. It has come in handy at times.

-Download warez instead of paid software. ( Unless the police is behind your back) -Go to a second hand shop regularly when you need something. Check out whether what you're looking for is sold there. -Don't buy products from the most expensive brand, it's cheaper to go for the lesser known brands. ;-) Perhaps that's just a bit too general. :-)

Saving money?It's can be done in everyday. You can buy non known brand clothes from small stores. Don't think about any expensive or luxurious jewelly. Watching film at home internet instead of going to theater. Don't throw away some old things ,maybe next day,they will become useful again. Go to website like mylot to earn extra money.

That is a nice idea actually, I might do that too. I am still new here so I haven't figured out the best way to handle my earnings here yet, but this is definitely a suggestion I will take into consideration. Thanks for the tip!
