Layaway 2009

Diamondiva — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Well it was almost a year ago when i announced the Sears had brought back layaway for the holidays. On Monday I posted that Toys R Us is now starting a Layaway program. I am so happy that companies are trying to help the working families during the Christmas seasons!!!. Now I will be able to purchase 2 new bikes without killing my pocketbook.

To give you a little history about when layaway first became popular it was during the Great Depression back when people was planting Victory Gardens! We have always been people the wanted but sometimes just could not afford to out right buy it. Little shops, car lots, department stores all offered this service to help out their customers. But after several decades of consumers getting used to whipping out the plastic and getting instant gratification it faded away, but now some experts believe the return to more frugal values is a much-needed change.

Some stores have keep the traditions of help there customer have more with the layaway plan, with Kmart, Sears, Burlington Coat Factory among those offering the service.

For all you online shoppers layaway has gone online at eLayaway.com. The website by a Tallahassee company offers online layaway services for about 1,200 retailers, including Gap, Apple and Bass Pro Shops.

I hope this helps out some one out that was nervous about this years gift giving.

How to Make Money Selling Grocery Coupons on EBay

Diamondiva — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Did you know that you can make money selling grocery coupons on eBay? Selling coupons on eBay can be a great way to make money on the side, lots of people are doing this already and so can you. This is a great project for stay at home moms or people looking to make a little bit of extra cash on the side.

The first step of the process is deciding how to obtain your coupons. The Sunday paper can be especially useful in finding coupons. In order to have a large amount of coupons you can purchase several copies of the Sunday paper or if you wish you can ask friends, family, neighbors and coworkers to save the coupons for you. Another favorite source of mine is women's magazines. If you wish to not purchase the magazines yourself you can also ask friends, family, neighbors and coworkers for theirs. These are just a few possible sources of coupons. With a little creative thinking you can come up with other sources. However make sure to stay away from Internet coupons. The problem with Internet coupons is that some are counterfeit, and some stores won't accept them. You want to make sure your buyers can use the coupons and if they don't they will most likely leave negative feedback.

Before you list your coupons on eBay, you want to do some research. Go on eBay and search completed listings for similar coupons. This will give you a general idea of how much you can sell your coupons for. Also decide if you want to sell your coupons individually or in a group. Most sellers will sell coupons in a batch. Finally clip your coupons and sort them out.

The next step is creating your listing. When you list your coupons you want to make sure you have a clear description. Make sure you include the amount of coupons you are selling, what product they are for and the coupon discount. The most important part of the description is the expiration date of the coupon. Make sure you let buyers know the expiration date of each coupon and use this date to factor in your auction end date. You want to make sure the buyer has enough time to use the coupon after receiving it in the mail. Buyers won't be happy if the coupons are already expired by the time they arrive.

Free RedBox Movie Codes

Diamondiva — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Have you noticed the RedBox Machines in the entry way of some of your local supermarkets and stores lately? They are easy to walk by but if you are a movie renter you may want to stop and see whats avaliable next time you see one.

When i first seen this machine the first thing i thought was that is a waste of money but after i canceled my 20 dollar Netflix acount I realized that i saved over 15 dollars a month going this route. With Netflix i paid 20 dollars month after month and sometimes even forgot to watch the movie because i was busy with the kids and work . Now i pick up movies on the friday nights that i am not busy and i drop them back off saturday evening and it totals $1.08. Now this is entertainment without breaking the bank.

While searching the web I found the following site RedBox Insider. This site offers free rental codes so you can try out and use Red Box for Free!!! There goes my fravrite word, FREE!!!!

So give it a try, check it out online and reserve yourself a movie for wednesday night so you can get a new release. Pop some corn and enjoy.
