How to Start Saving $ in 2014!

Let's face it...Life is expensive! I want to do so many things...and with 3 kids - everything (even McDonald's) can cost a fortune!

So my goal is to help you (and me) to save money ALL YEAR LONG, but still have an enjoyable life - here are a few ways to get started!

If you are overwhelmed - pick one or two - you don't have to do all of them (but they all save you money- LOL!)

****************************************************************






Money doesn't grow on your tree either?

I am ALWAYS posting deals and freebies on my facebook page - so make sure you like TIFF's DEALS page HERE!

I post many LOCAL deals (New Orleans area) but also post LOTS Of nationwide deals so you don't have to live in NOLA to save some money!
***************************************************************

EBATES - do you shop online? Then you must register with Ebates - it's FREE and they give you cashback for your online purchases virtually everywhere!

*****************************************************************

Registration-spotlightIBOTTA - Simply take a pic of your receipt (and sometimes a bar code) - and get INSTANT cashback (like a modern day rebate)

Ibotta works all over the place now!  Movie Theatres - Groceries - Drugstores - Best Buy - Home Depot - and so many more!  You are guaranteed to see something on the list that you are already buying so you might as well get $ back for it!  I received $150 in 2013 alone!

Similar to Ibotta is Checkout 51 - you can double dip by uploading your receipt to both apps!  You don't need a smartphone for this one...and you can purchase at ANY store!

*********************************************************************

SHOPKICK - how about FREE gift cards for buying ABSOLUTELY nothing! YEP, that's right! Simply walk in a store and get points - then walk out - points add up to FREE gift cards - in 3 months, I have over $150 in FREE gift cards (to Starbucks/Target/Gamestop/Lowe's/Sephora and more!)

**********************************************************************

Grocery Savings Tips - I am a Winn Dixie shopper (love the Buy 1 get 1 FREE deals) - but no matter where you shop, you can probably take advantage of these savings too - and it doesn't mean you have to clip coupons!

If you want to clip coupons - you can print them on your way out the door - see link HERE
Tip: I don't get the newspaper anymore - I just print the ones I need right before I go grocery shopping!


***********************************************************************
 I signed up for a Capital One 360 checking account - and got a $50 BONUS just for signing up!

I was always nervous about these things, since I had to give my current checking account info to get the account - BUT I am a Capital One banking customer already, and when completed, this account was added to mine automatically (so I felt better - wanted to share in case you were leery too!) Perfect for online purchases or a "mini" savings account!

This account has NO FEES - NO MINIMUM BALANCE!
 MORE INFO HERE!

ALL of these offer local deals at discounted prices...so take advantage of these when deals are available!  I post them on my facebook page as I see awesome deals come up!  If you are not already signed up for these (it's free too) simply click the links above and make sure you don't miss the deals!

**********************************************************************

KIDS EAT FREE - my list of local (New Orleans area) restaurants that have Kids Eat free nights - the only way to dine out with kids!

Drink or Dining Deck - save $$$ at (50) local Restaurants and Bars - yes, alcohol is included!  Only $20 per deck - valued at $500!

I also post restaurant deals weekly - so kids or no kids - you can save at LEAST half price when you dine out! So make sure you like my page on facebook so you don't miss out!
