In addition to saving money through Strategic Shopping and using coupons, there are ways to make a little extra money on the side.
In the past, survey companies required long surveys and you may or may not have been paid for your time and effort. But as consumers continued to get savvy about the ways they spend their time and money, companies got savvy about ways to pay their customers.
While you will not get rich using any of these sites or rewards programs – you may have enough to help out paying a babysitter, buying a meal, or purchasing a new book or video game from Amazon.
