Cheap Soup Recipe for You

Here's a delicious but cheap and easy recipe for you.  It makes about 12 bowls of soup.  I have been making this soup for about twenty years, and it's perfect for a family on a budget.  You can mix it up with the veggies, you can also use bags of frozen instead of canned and throw in about any kind of meat that you like.

What you'll need:

tomatoe juice - I usually use about 1/3 of a 46oz can
1 large can of diced stewed tomatoes
2 cans of corn
2 cans of carrots
2 cans of green beans (french style is my favorite)
2 cans of diced or sliced potatoes
2 lbs of ground beef

Brown the ground beef and drain the grease.  Pour all of the ingredients in a big pot.  Bring to a boil and then let simmer for about 30 minutes.

Note:  It always taste better the 2nd day!

Earn and Save

Are you looking for a creative way to save up for that new pair of shoes, that special gift for your husband or best friend, or how about that vacation that you need oh so desperately. If so, here's some ideas for you. Earn some money online. There are many web sites that will pay you to do research, like mturk.com and crowdsource.com. There are also web sites that will pay you to do the things you already do online, like search the web and chat with friends. Check Gather and myLot.com. They both have low payout rates. MTurk is a mechanical turk site ran by Amazon.com. You can save up for that special gift purchase, and pay for it with the cash you earn right on their site. Or transfer the funds into your bank account at any time. Join Inbox Dollars or MyPoints and get paid to read your email. Inbox Dollars has a payout of $30/$25 once you become a gold member. MyPoints pays in gift cards for just about anywhere nationwide, places like Wal-Mart, Red Lobster, K-Mart, and more. Put the funds you earn from the different sites all together, and pay for that special gift or new pair of shoes. Save your earnings all year and throw in the money from those aluminum cans you've been saving, and pay for that big vacation for which you have been looking forward!

Shop on the Internet

If at all possible, when making purchases, try shopping on the internet. 

Shopping on the internet will not only save you money on gas, but many times is less expensive than shopping in the retail store.

Parts for appliances are often found to be half the price, because you are buying from someone who has a worldwide customer base instead of just the people in their town.

If there are stores in which you purchase items frequently, consider signing up for their newsletters.  Typically you will receive emails with coupons, percentage discounts and sale fliers.  Well worth getting a few extra emails if you are going to be shopping from the same store on a regular basis.

Stock up if you find a great deal.  On items that you purchase on a regular basis, be sure to buy a few extra when making your shopping purchase.  You'll only pay the shipping and handling fee one time, plus you'll be saving money in the long run.
