Bloom Grocery is tripling coupons again this weekend, April 17, 18, & 19! Woo hoo! We still have lots in our pantry and freezers from previous triple coupon events!

The rules:

• Limit 20 manufacturer coupons per visit, per day
• Coupons up to and including $0.99 will triple
• Go here to see this week’s ad
• Hot Coupon World has several matchups here. (Lots of free stuff and great deals this time!

Join Nicole’s Savings Advantage and get a $25 Target gift card!

How It Works:

To join, you pay a $1.95 fee for the 30-trial period, after which point you are billed $9.95 monthly. But you still get the $25 Target Gift Card even if you cancel within the trial period. In other words, you pay just $1.95 for a $25 gift card. Go here to sign up! (Just don’t forget to cancel within the trial period.)

I do recommend setting up another e-mail account (other than your main personal/family account), because that e-mail address will probably be sent many e-mails regarding the great deals you can get through Nicole’s Savings Advantage.

Their guarantee: Our promise: If you’re not satisfied with Nicole’s Savings Advantage during your $1.95 30-day trial, let us know and we’ll never bill you for the membership. As a trial member, if you continue after your 30-day trial period, you will be charged $9.95 monthly for your Nicole’s Savings Advantage membership. Nicole’s Savings Advantage works all year to bring you the best in every-day savings! Welcome!

Concerned it might be a scam? This offer is listed with an affiliate company that I’ve worked with for some time. Getting a scam through with would be almost impossible. Although this is a new deal, my husband and I have done many offers similar to this and have not had trouble receiving our promised gift card or payment.

Works for Me!

Several weeks ago, I signed up with YouData. While I haven’t earned hundreds, I have earned an average of $2 or $3 a week. The great things is that YouData pays every Friday, and they pay by Paypal.

How It Works

• Register for YouData

• After an e-mail confirmation, fill out the information and complete the surveys for what is called your MeFile.

• Based on your answers, you will be given the option to view ads. Click on the adget, and then click on “reveal ads.” After the ads are revealed, you can click on each individual ad and you will be taken to the advertiser’s website. You will also be paid for each website you visit.

• You will be paid via Paypal. YouData pays every Friday afternoon and there is no certain amount you must reach before getting paid. Check back every week or so to see if there are new ads to view.

• Although you won’t make hundreds, you can earn a few dollars every few weeks, depending on the ads available.

If you like to shop online at places that accept Paypal, this is a great way to “save up” for those things without having to put money from your regular bank account towards purchases. Of course, you can always transfer you Paypal funds to your normal bank account, as well.

I like YouData, because unlike some avenues of earning online, it doesn’t take much time once you get your account set up, and there is no minimal amount required to be reached in order to be paid.

Checkers on Wade Hampton is giving free chicken wings today from 11a.m. to 4p.m.! Yay for free food on Wednesdays!

Thanks, Jenny!
