Vera Bradley Sale!

Vera Bradley is having a great sale this week on Back Packs and Messenger Bags...select patterns only!
The sale runs today, Monday, July 13th through Wednesday, July 15th!
I had told my daughter that "maybe" we would find a good deal on a Vera Bradley bag for school this year and this really is a good deal. We purchased the Messenger Bag for $40..it was normally $84 and the Large Backpacks are also $40...normally $92...awesome deals if you are looking for back to school bags. At that price I couldn't resist getting her one. Her older cousin has Vera Bradley bags so she has shown interest as well now...lol. The patterns that are on sale are: Frankly Scarlet, Meditteranean White, Night Owl, Pinwheel Pink, Daisy Daisy, Mod Floral Blue, Riviera Blue. I found a matching lunch bag for $21. I know...but the lunch bag and messenger bag together with shipping was still less than the original retail on the messenger bag alone. Follow my current auctions below...I am planning to re-sell her Gap backpack and matching lunch bag soon to help pay for the new purchases! Re-selling my children's outgrown items has been a great way to earn on ebay over the years for me!

New Bank Offer...Bank Of America!

Photobucket


Another HOT bank offer! I recently posted about an offer from Chase bank to earn $100 by simply opening a checking account and either doing direct deposit or making a few debit card transactions. Well, I just found another one today! This one is from Bank of America and you can earn up to $100 by opening a checking account. You will earn $75 by opening a checking account and starting your account with $250 and making one debit card purchase within the first month. You can earn the full $100 by doing the same and do two online bill payments within the first month. I know...how many checking accounts does someone need? I however NEED vacation money! Our annual trip to Bethany Beach is a little over a month away and I like to have enough spending money so the kids can enjoy the boardwalk rides and other fun activities and we can enjoy a week of eating dinner out at some great beach and seafood restaurants. What I am thinking of doing is using my ebay sales money to open this account since I already opened the Chase account. This means I will have gotten a total of $200 FREE in bank offers that I can put towards vacation. My husband also did the Chase offer so we will have earned $300 FREE! Follow the link below...it may be a good way for you to earn some money too.

Paypal Cash From Swagbucks!

Swagbucks is now offering $5 Paypal Cash to be deposited into your Paypal account for 80 redemption points! It says it will normally be 190 points to redeem this prize but it's currently costing just 80 of your Swagbuck points. I think this is a good deal as I have been saving for vacation next month. I just cashed out and will have $5 deposited into my Paypal. Sign up below and start earning your Swagbuck points. There are so many other great prizes too....my favorite category to cash out is gift cards but the Paypal deal is great.

Chase Bank $100 Rewards

Re-Posting...great way to get an extra $100!
I have started researching bank offers as a way to earn a little extra money. I just signed up for this excellent offer from Chase Bank. Open a Chase Bank Checking Account by 7/24/2009 and receive $100 bonus deposited to your account! The process is fairly easy. Sign up through the link for a Chase checking account. There are several types of checking accounts but I chose the free one. In order to not be charged a monthly fee you need to do a direct deposit or make 5 debit card transactions each month...easy! You will need to deposit $100 to receive your FREE $100. 10 days after you make your initial deposit your FREE $100 will be deposited into your account. The only other stipulation was that you must keep your account open for six months. A great free easy way to earn $100. Check it out below...you can open your account online or request a coupon be emailed to you so that you can open an account in person if you prefer.

Ebay....

Okay, a new feature I want to include in my blog is my ebay. I know it doesn't have anything to do with saving money. But for me, it's a great way to make money! As I have said before...I don't make a tremendous amount of money on ebay but I have done well enough over the years and you get out of it what you put into it. Meaning...at times, I have made over $1000 a month on ebay but I was working very hard at it. Listing a lot, sewing a lot and finding as much as I could to sell. Then there are those months...we all have them...end of the school year picnics, birthdays, just all around hectic times. During these busy times I am not always able to list as much and may only earn a $100 or $200 on those months...if anything at all.

I make children's Custom Boutique Applique clothing. And if this is a category you follow on ebay, you know there is money to be made doing this. For the past 8 years I have very much enjoyed making children's clothing and selling it on ebay. My favorite thing to make is the applique overalls, jeans and shirts. I love to make things for the holidays. Fall and Christmas are my busiest times of the year....it actually starts in July or August for me and runs through Christmas. So I will be very busy over the next 6 months with sewing and ebay. I will keep you posted on my blog of my progress and sales.

Here are a few current auctions I have listed...if you wanted to follow and see how they do.

Yes, It's Been Awhile....

I know, it's been awhile, quite awhile since my last post.
I was going through writers block or something like that...lol. Actually, it was more like being burned out. I had been trying to post daily and keep my blog updated with new info and wasn't getting much else accomplished.
Anyway, I am still planning to blog and will be updating over the next few days. There are a few new things I wanted to let you know about and I will be back posting bargains and freebies I find.
