My New Finds

Yesterday I discovered two new ways to save money. One was with Kroger and the other with Upromise. Yesterday I received an email from Kroger asking me to be a part of their new survey panel group. It's an online survey group that give their opinions on food and personal care items in return for money. It's still really new, so I do not have too much info about it yet, but hey if Kroger wants to put money in my Pay Pal account for doing surveys, then I'm all for it.

The second was when I was updating my Upromise account I noticed that they now how electronic coupons. Now the coupons with Upromise are different than the ones with the other websites that I have mentioned in the past posts. With the Upromise coupons instead of getting money off of the item in the coupon, you will get money deposited into your Upromise account. For example, Upromise has a coupon for 50 cents on Bounty paper towels. So if I go to the store and buy Bounty paper towels, then Upromise will deposit 50 cents into my account. It's not much, but more than what I would of received without the coupon.

I know it's not a lot to post about, but every little bit helps. Overtime it adds up. Less is coming out of my pocket book and more into my savings account. And with 4 children, I need every penny I can get. Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist, but afterwards I will have a perfect kid free chance to go to CVS and buy some of the items on sale in this week's flier. If all goes well, then I should have tons to post about tomorrow. Until then keep on looking for the next big deal.

  1. I keep not using UPromise because I thought it wasn't worth my time. I thought you had to get a credit card to get your points! Maybe they changed it or I didn't see the other option.

  2. I dont know if you have to register a credit card with them to get the points, but I do know that you can register your reward cards with them. And your reward cards do keep track of what you buy, so i guess that there really is no need to register your credit card. Sign up for e-rewards survies and when you do a survey you can deposit the money into your Upromise account.
