How Does A Blog Make Income?

Many people have asked how money is made with a blog, so I thought I'd address the question in a post:

Blogs make money though advertising. All the little ads that say "Powered by Google" are run by Google AdSense. They put the ads up automatically based on my content. You get paid a little bit each time someone clicks on an ad and waits long enough for it to load. Usually it's anywhere from a dollar to .50, but it adds up. I've been blogging seriously since January and my AdSense account is about to hit $40. That's pretty good for doing nothing but blogging, which I would be doing anyway. You get paid when your earnings reach $100 or more.

Another common ad program is Amazon.com. There you only get paid if someone clicks through one of your amazon links and make a purchase. It doesn't matter if they actually purchase what was on the link. Any purchase qualifies.

That's the basic two ways to make income blogging. It's not a fortune, but it adds up quick. If Penny Pinscher had a hundred readers that regularly clicked on the ads I'd be debt free in no time. That's not a hint or anything ;)

.25/1 Little Debbie Snacks

From Super Savers Sharing:

Here's a coupon for .25/1 on Little Debbie Snacks! I don't think I've ever seen a coupon for these, but they are usually around $1 or less. With middle school lunches going up to $2 next year, snacks like these are good to keep an eye out for!

If you have trouble with the coupon link please
contact their Consumer Affairs Department toll free at
1-800-522-4499 (8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. EST).

Don't Forget Your Blue Card!

If you shop regularly at Goodwill, don't forget to pick up a "blue card" as you check out. For every $10 you spend you get a stamp. When your card is filled up you redeem it for $20 worth of free merchandise. The card never expires and is great to save for back to school shopping.

They also used to give coupons out when you donated, but I haven't seen those in a while. I'll ask next time I go and report back whatever I find out. In the meantime - enjoy your blue card!

Free Samples of True Lemon or True Lime!

From Money Saving Mom
Get your free samples of True Lemon here.

I'm signing up for my free samples now - I didn't know True Lemon came in convenient little packages! I just threw away a half bottle that spoiled because I didn't use it fast enough. Great idea!

Free Soap with Coupon

Thanks to Money Saving Mom (one of my favorite sites for all the great deals;) for letting me know that the Johnson's Buddies coupon has been reset and you should be able to print out two more!

Honey Bunches of O's .26 Or Less!

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for the heads-up, the Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters $2/1 coupon has been reset. So, if you've used it before, you should be able to print two more and use them again. Go here to print your coupons (click on the button in the lower right-hand corner).

With this coupon, this cereal should be free or almost free at many stores in conjunction with a sale--let us know if you find any great deals using it! Walmart sells it for $2.26, making it .26 a box.

75+ Free Prints at CVS

HOT! From Money Saving Mom:

UPDATE: Here's my $17.67 in free photos and I still have free photos to use!

CVS Photo Center is offering 75 Free 4x6 Photos. You must use your CVS ExtraCare Number. If you don't have an ExtraCare Card, pick one up at CVS or have it mailed to you after registering online. Steps to follow to get your 75+ Free Prints:

1. At the CVS Photo Center, click on "Start Now" to create an account with your email and ExtraCare Number.

2. CVS will instantly send you an email link to connect to and credit you with 50 free photos.

3. Under "Order Prints" section (you may have to upload a photo to get to this page), click on the "Do More with Your Photos" on the right side of the screen. Another 10 prints will be credited to your account.

4. Once you are signed up, order a few of your free prints and include the code 15FREE for an additional 15 free prints. This code works every time you order, so if you go and order a 1 photo, you can enter it to get another 15 free.

Note: You should be able to pick these up at your local CVS store, if you have one, so that you don't have to pay shipping. Let us know if you have any trouble getting this deal to work. I have a lot of pictures I've been wanting print, so this will work wonderfully!

CVS has a 100% guarantee on the quality of the photos they process for you, so if you are not happy with them for any reason, you can get them redone. I've heard that most of the time, the quality is very good.

I ordered enough photos to fill 3 brag books for grandparents this Mother's Day/Father's Day! What a neat way to give a great gift without breaking the bank (which doesn't take much anymore...;)

Organic Diced Tomatoes .16 A Can (or less!)

Update: For military shoppers! DeCA has Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes for .79 a can! That's getting paid .21 to take it off their hands;) That's MY kind of shopping...

From Money Saving Mom :

EatBetterAmerica.com has some great printable coupons. One of the ones featured right now is for $1 off any Muir Glen Organic Tomato product. If your store carries these, you should be able to get some great deals with this coupon. Best of all, you can print it at least six times (maybe more--anyone tried?).

Anyone know where they sell this brand? Our Walmart on Beal doesn't have it.

Money Saving Idea from Diva Reader K

Can ya'll tell I am becoming addicted to trying to save money- new game but with real help to our family....

Buy green Giant frozen boxed vegetables and get coupon for money off your next shopping trip
Between 2/1 and 2/24
Buy
3 & get 1$
4 & get 2$
5+ get 3$

The great thing is- all are 1$ each right now
And there are coupons for 1.00$ off 3 and 65 cents off 2

So Tonight I bought 5
Got 3$ coupon to use next time I shop
Used 1.65 in coupons at purchase.

So they cost me 5$
Deducted 1.65
Got 3 dollars coupon back

Total cost for 5 green giant frozen boxed vegetables 35 cents.

By the way- the Hormel pepperoni that is on sale for 1$ a pack is great and says refrigerate after opening so it can be stored- yummy pizzas in our future! And I used the Scott TP coupon and got a free roll of TP.
I only stocked up on things that were in the dollar sale.
My total shopping trip was:
Spend 28.86
Save 42.70

So- the sale ends tomorrow, but the Gr. Giant coupon special go till the 24th.

Combine this Albertson's current 10 for $10 and that makes the TP FREE! Not sure if there's any limit, but I will definitely be checking this deal out tomorrow.

Thanks K!

All the fun of Mardi Gras New Orleans-style, but with children in mind.
Proceeds for all children’s activities will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Thanks Mrs. B! ;)

Bread Loaves for .18 Each!

For anyone who doesn't frequent the Blue Bunny bread thrift store on Freedom Way you are missing some great deals. They have large bags of bread for $2.75 each. I asked what was 'wrong' with the bread in the large bags and was told that they just don't have room for it all so some gets offered 'bulk'.

I have bought bread like that plenty of times and have never had a problem. I freeze it as soon as I buy it and pull out about one loaf a day (we use a lot of bread). The brands are mixed, but there are a lot of good quality ones like Nature's Own. I've also gotten Cobblestone Mills hoagie and kaiser rolls this way. I did a more detailed post on my other blog here.
