I know that most of us use some type of electronic calendar, but you can never have too many of the "old fashioned" kind. :)

Cash Back

If you plan to avoid the Black Friday crowds by shopping online, you can earn cash back for your purchases.   Just by clicking through either site before shopping, you can earn 2% or more of your purchase. (The average is 5%, but some stores offer as much as 10%).

For example: If you go through ebates or shopathome and your purchase is $50 at a store that is offering 10% cash back, you'll earn $5 of your purchase.

Ebates offers cash back as a check mailed to you or as a deposit to your PayPal account.  Shopathome currently pays by check only at this time.

Scholarship App

I know in the past I have recommended not spending money to search for scholarships, but I'm making an exception this time.

This app was developed by a young man who received $1.3 million dollars in scholarship offers.  The app costs $.99 (99 cents) and cuts down the lengthy forms from other scholarship search companies.

Go here  Scholarship App for more information on the App or to download the App, which is available via iTunes and Goggle play.


Good luck.

Rewards Program

I know you all may get tired of rewards programs, but they can be great money savers, if used correctly.  Once you do your homework, you learn which rewards programs are worthwhile and which are not.  With rising gas prices, Fuel Rewards has become my favorite, even though it requires me to shop at a different grocery store.

With your Fuel rewards card and your grocery store reward card, you can lower the cost of your gas.  I recently saved over .30 per gallon of gas using my Fuel rewards card!!!!
