Skiplagged

I was recently introduced to this app called Skiplagged! It will help locate the cheapest flights so that you don't have to waste your time doing it. It also shows you when the cheapest time to buy flights is.

Swagbucks

 

Swagbucks is also another one of my favorite rewards sites. Swagbucks.com offers cash back when shopping at certain websites. Save money, shop more! :) Swagbucks offers a lot more ways to earn points such as shopping, daily offers, surveys, searching the web, playing games, downloading apps, etc. The ways to earn points are endless! Also, every 500 points is a $5 gift card! On Swagbucks, I personally earn about $15-$20/a month from searching, videos, and shopping. Sign up here!

Bing Rewards

Did you know that you can get paid for doing what you love: Searching the Web! Bing has created a rewards site where you can receive points for searching online and watching video clips. There are about 35 points available to receive every day, and once you hit around 500 points you can redeem it for a $5 gift card. That is roughly a FREE $5 gift card every other week. Why not? Sign up here!

Save Ya: Buying and Selling Gift Cards


This is one of my new favorite websites. Let be honest. You probably already are shopping at a few of the stores listed on their website, why not buy a gift card and receive 10% or 20% more money to spend at your favorite stores!  After some research, I also concluded that Save Ya gives you the highest percent of cash back for selling your gift cards.  My moto: Save Money, Shop More!

Cafe Rio

Image result for cafe rioEvery other customer at Cafe Rio gets a survey on the button of their receipt. What you probably didn't know is that the survey only takes about 27 seconds. (Yes, I personally timed that.) So while you are sitting down enjoying your dinner, head over to survey website listed on your receipt. You then will get a code that you will write on your receipt. The best part is that you don't have to make another purchase in order to get your reward (which is free chips and salsa or dessert). My personal favorite is the Tres Leche with strawberries and fresh whipped cream. Delicious!

Uhaul

Did you know that Uhaul will price match with other competitor moving truck companies? (Penske and Budget.)  If you plan on moving feel free to shop around and see what good deals you can find. Then call Uhaul and try to get them to match your price. Uhaul offers the best service anyways so it is definitely worth it. 

Waffle Iron

Waring Belgian Waffle MakerDid you know you can put TONS of things in a waffle iron and cook it? Most of my family's favorite include desserts and breakfast items. Let me share a few with you:
Angle Food Cake
Brownies
Cake Mix
Cinnamon Rolls
Biscuits
Muffin Mix
Scrambeled Eggs
Omlets
Bacon
Sausage

For the desserts/breads, you just follow the recipe on the box and cook like a normal waffle. (Be sure to spray your waffle iron, even if it is a nonstick.)


For the eggs and meat, prepare it like you normally would except cook it in a waffle iron instead. 

Credit Karma

Image result for credit karmaThis one has probably been around for a while but it is new to me. Credit Karma checks your credit without hurting your score, tells you about different accounts that have been open under your social security number, and also suggests credit cards that would best fit your credit score. There are many others features as well, but those are the three that I mostly use. Give it a try here!

Grammarly

Grammarly is another one of my favorite extensions. It does it exactly what it sounds like. It checks your grammar online. Whether you are a blogger, online student, or social media lover this extension can help you. Simply download the Google Chrome Extension called Grammarly, sign up here, and let this app do the thinking for you.

Walmart Savings Catcher

The Walmart Savings Catcher concept is wonderful. (Android users can download here, and Apple users can download here.) This app is so easy to use. When you go grocery shopping, just scan your receipt inside the app under SAVINGS CATCHER and it will automatically admatch items that are on sale from nearby competitor stores and give you the difference on an e-card! If you are a regular Walmart shopper, this is perfect for you. Also, what I really love is that it uploads a copy of your receipt to your account. So if you ever need to return an item you don't have to worry about where you placed your receipt!

Hey Honey

One of my recent discoveries of "Life Hacks" has been a wonderful Chrome extension called "HONEY." If you love shopping online, this is a hack for you! 

Here is what you do:
You open up google chrome and search for the Chrome Honey Extension. (Joinhoney.com is the app website.)

After you have found everything you are needing online, head over to check out and get to the page that has the PROMO CODE box. At this point, you will click on the little Honey extension button and it will tell you how many codes it found online for your purchase. It also will automatically input the codes so that you don't have too! Save money, shop more. Try it here!

Introduction

I feel like over the past few years I have learned so much. I don't mean academically. I just have learned a lot of information that I don't know what to do with. I am pretty sure all of my friends and family have heard me talk about the same things over and over again. Hopefully, that won't be happening much anymore because I can just share it all with you! By creating a blog, you get to CHOOSE if you want to read about my life hacks. And I hope you enjoy reading. I love learning new and random things. I love feeling smart. I love feeling right. I love talking. And most importantly, I LOVE Cheetos. Enjoy my blog! :)
