  Hey there, Super Savers! 🎉 As Martha and the Vandellas famously sang, "It's like a heat wave!" I don’t know if we’re in an official heatwave or not, but it’s summer, it’s hot, and I’ve got some smokin’ cool tips to keep you chill without burning a hole in your wallet. Let’s dive right in! Breezin’ Picture this: you’re sitting at home, and the air feels like you're in a toaster oven. No worries! Place fans in your windows to create a cross-breeze.

  Hello, Super Savers! Today, we're flipping the script. While I often dish out advice on how to stretch your dollars, today’s post is all about how to bring in a bit more cash. With a sprinkle of spare time and a few opinions to share, you can add some extra green to your budget without breaking a sweat.  Now, let’s talk about surveys . Yes, surveys! Imagine this: Companies are lining up to hear what you think about politics, entertainment, household goods, and more. Whether it’s a quick minute or a few weeks, sharing your thoughts can bring in a little something extra. Some surveys ask about recent purchases while others give you a sneak peek at products yet to hit the market. Sometimes, you might even get to test these products and spill the tea on your experience.  Here’s the kicker: Not all surveys are created equal. Some just need your info to track what you binge-watch on Netflix, and voila, they pay you for it! Most surveys are online, but if you’re feeling advent...

Now, I want to give you a personal review of the survey panels I’ve used the most in 2024. These may not be the top picks for everyone, but they’ve been my go-tos for putting extra money in my pocket. Let’s break them down! MyPoints MyPoints has become my MVP for paying my $25/month phone bill . How? By earning PayPal cash through surveys and other small tasks! Since January 2024, I’ve redeemed a total of $235 —mostly by answering surveys, but also by clicking through emails, doing a little online shopping, and submitting paper receipts (a bit like rebate apps). One of the biggest perks of MyPoints is their PayPal cash reward  option. The reward processing speed is decent too—2-3 business days. It’s not lightning-fast, but hey, it’s quicker than many others out there. Unfortunately, while MyPoints offers the chance to earn...
