Make Money from Your Smartphone While Shopping!

I have three AWESOME apps I need to remind you about: iBotta, Endorse, Plink, and Shopkick.  All reward you for doing the shopping you already do!  And they're pretty darn easy to use, and therefore to make money!  And the best part is ALL of these are free apps, available in the app store!
  • Endorse is a simple, free way to get cash back for buying your favorite products in stores. Earn anything from 10% up to 100% cash back on your everyday purchases from stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Kroger, Safeway, CVS, Whole Foods, Costco and Trader Joe's. Further, Endorse helps fund local school projects via DonorsChoose.org.
Here's a sample of what my Endorse account looks like.
  • iBotta works much like an electronic coupon app, but with a fun twist!  Take quick surveys, read recipes, and view videos related to particular items-- all to earn higher value coupons for select products.  Then after you've purchased these items, scan your receipt to redeem these coupons.  (And, yep, this allows you to "stack" store, manufacture, AND iBotta coupons all at once!)  If you sign up through my link here, you can get a $5 "friend" bonus!  Seriously, you can't lose with this one!!  
iBotta is available at countless stores nationwide -- here's a just a few.

  • Shopkick keeps the spirit of "checking in" to places alive with this clever app.  By simply walking in to your favorite stores (Tar-zshay, anyone?) you earn "kicks".  If you have a little time to spare, and want a fun little treasure hunt, scan select items for bonus kicks.  Kicks can be traded in for gift cards to your favorite stores, like Target, Best Buy, iTunes, Old Navy, and Macy's -- just to name a few!  

  • Plink rewards you for shopping and eating out.  Simply attach a card you most use when you shop or eat, and it'll keep track of your spending -- you'll be rewarded with "plink points" based on the amount spent.  (Yes, you have to enter your card info, but 
Disclosure: these links are my personal referral links, and you do support AFM if you sign up under me.  

Keep on saving!  :o)

Car Games for Kids

Morning car rides can be daunting if you’re not a morning person, and sometimes even if you ARE a morning person.  Although I believe it’s perfectly ok to let your kids be bored, I also believe it’s important to use moments together wisely.  So we tend to spend our morning car ride having conversations, and playing kids car games that help wake them up and keep them on their toes, AND it’s all done sans technology!  Here I delve beyond “Punch-Buggy Charlie” and the license plate game for some good no-tech car games for kids. Car Games for Kids 20 Questions  –  We each take a turn coming up with a person, place, or thing.  Then the other participants take turns asking yes or no questions to figure out what it is.  If we figure it out before the 20th question, we win; if not, then the person answering the questions wins.  This is a good exercise in making deductions and also figuring out good “category” questions.
