Keeping Household Supply Costs Down

As I was digging around, editing some of my AC articles, I ran across 5 Tips To Cut Costs Year Round, that I had written back in January. Its a fairly straight forward article, and I realized how much doing what I had outlined had saved. The only trick I don't use currently is vinegar...working at Wal-Mart ruined the scent for me. Even though it fades quickly!

The detergent tip is one of my favorites. I'm still running off the same bottle of detergent! Its about empty now, but I can still get more loads out of it. And when my detergent costs $15 a bottle, the longer I can go before buying, the better!

Check out the article, and let me know if any of the tips work for you! If you have other tips, feel free to share! I know there's a ton out there that I don't know yet.

Free Program Spotlight: Associated Content

As far as online, Associated Content is where I make most of my money. I'm still fairly new in the grand scheme of Associated Content, but I'm loving it so far.

The premise is simple, write articles and get paid for it. You can write an article on whatever your little heart desires, and submit it for upfront payment or for just page views. You can earn twice on the same article, once from upfront, then again for your page views.

And Associated Content DOES pay, with no payout threshold. You earn it, you get it. Its an amazingly fast turn around in comparison to other sites out there. You choose how much of your rights to give away. And its completely free to sign up. You pay nothing to earn money. Ever.

The downside to Associated Content is they are a growing site, so they have the bugs and quirks that many others do. I haven't had any problems yet, but others have. They sometimes take awhile to go through your submitted articles, but its all worth it in my eyes. If you expect everything to run perfectly, then get offline. :)
