Resources (Stuff I Love)
I’m often asked about products and services that I recommend. This is a running list—updated frequently—of resources that I’ve personally used and found beneficial, or would suggest to a friend.

HEALTHY GROCERIES & NATURAL HOUSEHOLD

Grocery Rebate Apps Exactly what I recommend to anyone wanting to save extra money on everyday food and household items (with or without using printable coupons).
Grove Collaborative Healthy, natural products for home & baby…delivered to your home! Grove also has some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced!

MEAL PLANNING
Plan to Eat An easy-to-use meal planning service; I can import favorite recipes, drag and drop them onto a calendar, and generate a shopping list so I know exactly what our family will eat each day (or week or month!).
MYSTERY SHOPPING
I’ve used all of these legitimate companies to participate in local shopping, dining, and entertainment, while getting paid to evaluate the service! (Two of my favorite experiences are buying chocolates and answering questions about the rides at King’s Dominion!)
ONLINE SHOPPING CASHBACK
Before I buy anything online, I quickly check a few of these sites to keep 5-25% cash back in my pocket! Often, I use the cash back I accumulated throughout the year to buy all my Christmas gifts! (Seriously…it only takes a minute and I’ve earned hundreds of dollars just for buying items we already needed.)
SURVEY SITES
You CAN earn extra cash completing surveys, taking quick polls, and checking your email. Here are a few of my favorite (legitimate, of course) companies that pay me for simple tasks. (No spare time? I totally get it! Try completing a few tasks while you’re mindlessly watching T.V. or sitting in a waiting room.)
Vindale Research (earn an immediate $2 for taking a 5-minute survey tutorial)
