Birthday Coming Up!!!

Wealthy Living on a Budget getting older!!

Thank you for all those of you who have been with me through this LONG and complicated journey of starting Wealthy Living on a Budget. I know I have been super busy with the new job and my time online has significantly declined but I still LOVE WLOAB and all the connections and people I have met through this!! I am hoping to be able to start blogging more and get back to what I really love!! The blog will be turning 1 in a few weeks and I would love to get some ideas of how we should celebrate. I wanted to do a giveaway but wanted ideas on if we should have 1 big one or multiple small ones. I would also like to play some games during that week so make sure to comment below with all the ideas so I can start planning!!!

Ibotta = Cash Back on Groceries!!

FREE Money!!

Ibotta is an app available for smartphones. I love it as it gives me cash back on items I would regularly buy. You just scan your UPC and the receipt and that's it!! The money can be cashed out or instantly transferred to a Paypal account- whichever you prefer. You can also donate your cash back to any school in America. (if this isn't enough of an incentive to sign up- I'm not sure what is) The app was featured on Google Play and Good Morning America. It's super easy and fun... and let's be honest, there is nothing better than free money! Ibotta adds new products all the time and there are over 41 retailers to choose from. Make sure to check it out HERE. Sign up is easy and quick!

I LOVE Plink!!

Enough for 2 $5 gift cards or 1 $10 gift card of your choice. I've been personally using PLINK for over 5 months now and love getting points at places I already plan on shopping at. You do have to link a debit/credit card to use link but they are an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and have a rating of A-. I would never suggest something to my readers without testing it first and I have gotten over $20 worth of gift cards from Plink. You get points when you shop at certain retailers including Burger King, Papa John's, Taco Bell, Old Navy, Gap, 7-11, AMC Cinemas and more. This is an awesome rewards program and one I highly recommend. Check out how to earn you 1,000 points ($10 worth) below!! Please remember this offer is good for new Plink members only!

Viggle = Free gift cards!

Viggle!!

I just downloaded this app but I have heard and read some awesome things! Make sure to comment and let me know if you have been using it! It works but giving you points for watching TV (how cool!!)  Make sure to sign up HERE and than download the free app in the app store! You get 1 points for every 1 minute you're check in-to the show! You can check in and change the channel and still get your points (from what I've heard!!) A gift card is around 9,000 points which is a bunch but I have been doing the extra point offers! I set reminders on my phone for the shows which offer bonus points so I can just quickly change the channel, check in and watch for 10 minutes so you can get the bonus points on top of what you already get for watching it! I believe the iphone app also has a place where you can watch ads for points and you can answer trivia questions about certain shows. Any show will give you points so you can enjoy watching what you want! I got 60 points for watching Investigators, Chopped and Forensic Files. These are shows I watch late at night while searching for deals ;) Sounds good to me and I'm willing to give it a try!! Love free money!!
