Back before online shopping, rebates were SO annoying. You had to save your receipt, mail it in to the company and wait for snail mail to mail you a check. It was a long process that deterred many away from even trying for a rebate.
Yet, in today’s “online shopping” world, rebates are just a click away. Yet, it is wise to be on the lookout for scams and do your research before signing up for any company, including Rakuten. This review will help you decide if Rakuten is the right rebate app for you.
What cashback apps are you all using in 2021? I’m using Rakuten (formerly Ebates) and Ibotta. They are my favorite choices that consistently bring in money each month.
Have you heard of Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates)?

Are you on a budget this Thanksgiving? Are you stressed out about the strains of hosting?
There is so much thought and effort that goes into hosting Thanksgiving dinner at your house. The menu, the cleaning, and let’s not forget the food budget!
That’s enough to give a busy mom and headache! Ouch!
One way to save money (think less stress) this Thanksgiving is to use Stove Top Stuffing as your main side dish! I have used this recipe for a few years and my guests raved about it!
This recipe is a quick, easy way to spruce up your Stove Top and you will save money because you are using Stove Top! Yet, you will still have a dish that your guests will love!
Both times I made this recipe, there was nothing left at the end of Thanksgiving dinner, so I guess it was a success.
I’m wishing all of you the best this Holiday Season and I’m hoping my recipe will help lighten the cooking burden and financial burden hosting Thanksgiving can bring! Let’s try this and see how many compliments you get this year!!
In this Poshmark review, I will give you the ins and outs of Poshmark and let you know why I have grown to love using this app for buying and selling!

Selling
Need a little extra cash? Need to clean out your closet? Then this is the website for you.
I was in a dilemma after having my two boys. Unfortunately, I had many items in my closet that I stilled loved but they did not fit me. Yet, I continued to hope I would go back to my pre-pregnancy body and held on to my beloved clothes!
After all, I used to be a teacher and enjoyed my dressy work clothes, planning my outfits each week and feeling great when I stepped out the door. These clothes were part of me! And I wanted to keep them!
However, after a few years of holding on to these, some almost new items, I read about an app called Poshmark in a magazine. I decided to clean out my cluttered closet and give it a try.
I’m happy to say that after being on the website for about six months, I have already made around $400.
All you need is a good picture of your item to upload it with the information (size, condition, description, price) and you are good to go. Also, It helps to style your item or give your buyers an idea of how to style the item in the description. You are selling a lifestyle!!
Follow as many people as you can and most will return the favor and follow you. The more followers you have, the more people will see your items.
Also, share your items often. They will then come up on your follower’s news feeds and other people (hopefully with more followers) will share your items. All of this is really easy within the website. (more…)
How to Make Cheap Pulled Pork – Slow Cooker Recipe
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe:
Pulled pork is one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. The way I make it is easy and yummy. There are many other recipes out there with more thought and effort, but I am a mother of two small kids and just don’t have the time to wear the “gourmet chef” hat right now.
I like to cook dinners that are fast, easy, and frugal! This one is a little higher priced than some of my other recipes in my two-week meal planning post, but when you are making tuna noodles for under $3 and Chili for under $4, you can afford to spend a tad more on pork and sweet barbecue sauce!
So let’s begin the slow cooker dump, sit back and watch our latest Gray’s Anatomy episode (yes, I still love that show!), and let our slow cooker do all the work! In the end, you will have a great meal the family will love and the cooking will happen while you take a load off! Slow Cooker plugged in? Here we go!

What you will need
1 1lb package of pork – I buy Market Pantry center-cut pork; however, some people use pork shoulder(cheaper). It is up to you but the center cut is already cut and is less fatty, which is healthier for the fam!
1/2 an onion sliced – Pro Tip: Cut the entire onion up when you get home from the store and use the other half for another recipe
1/2 bottle of Sweet BBQ sauce (Update: My son and I have been making our own pulled pork BBQ Sauce and it is so easy to make – See recipe below)
Around a tablespoon – Salt, pepper, and paprika for seasoning
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe Directions:
1. Turn on your crockpot and set it to four hours on high. Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
2. Add onions to slow cooker
3. Season each side of pork with salt, pepper, and paprika ( I do a light coating of each)
4. Put the pork on top of your onions
5. Add BBQ sauce
6. Stir after about an hour and a half into cooking.
7. Let it all cook on high for four hours – Sit back, Relax!!
8. Check and Shred. Your pork will turn a lighter color as shown in the picture below, and shred very easily with a fork.
Yummy & Cheap Pulled Pork
Cheap Pulled Pork Final Notes…
Serve this yummy pork on a bun or open face on a piece of bread. I like to serve with corn as a side dish! Enjoy and watch the faces of your family as you serve! You are bound to get a smile.

Christmas time can be such a fun time of the year…Greeting family, delectable food, and let’s not forget the yearly gift exchange. However, not everyone can enjoy this splendid season because of financial woes and worries.
So many of us feel the financial strains and stresses this (suppose to be beautiful) season brings!! We want to shower our loved ones with nice gifts but do not always have the financial means to do so! If you are in this boat, I’m here to help!
I’ve compiled a list to help save an upwards of $250 in the next month to help out with Christmas shopping (or anything else you need)! I’m using many of these myself and am proud of the fact my husband won’t have to buy his own gift this year. Furthermore, I’m wishing everyone the best now and for years to come! Let’s go out there and make this Christmas shopping “thing” happen! Read on…
Money Making Ideas
1. Poshmark App (clean out your closet)-This is the main way I have personally earned extra money for Christmas shopping! All you need is a good picture of your item. You can sell woman’s, men’s and children’s clothing on this site. Print off your pre-paid shipping label and send it on its way. If you don’t like selling and shipping, you can send your stuff to Poshmark concierge and they will do the work for you. Sign up now using my code NXUIA and you will get a $5 credit to spend on your first purchase. (keep your eye open for a related post-what sells on posh) – I made $170 selling my old clothing and shoes.
2. Mercari-This site is not just for clothing. You can sell anything and ship it to the buyer (kind of like an online garage sale). You can use Mercari’s prepaid shipping or use your own. Use my code UYYBUS to sign up and get a $2 credit on your first purchase.
