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!
*****************************************************************
IBOTTA - 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!
*NEW* Another one called Snap by Groupon - same concept - and you can DOUBLE OR TRIPLE dip when the same offers are on the other apps too!
*********************************************************************
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 - I have over $300 in FREE gift cards (to Starbucks/Target/Gamestop/Lowe's/Sephora and more!) - and recently bought a TV at Best Buy with my gift cards!
**********************************************************************
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!
JUST IN TIME TO START SAVING in 2015 - and a FREE $50 helps!
This account has NO FEES - NO MINIMUM BALANCE!

Groupon -LivingSocial
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!
**********************************************************************
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!
