Practical Solutions That Saves Your Time, Money, and Your Sanity
resources to save you more time, energy, and money.
Welcome! If you’re new to my blog, it’s no secret around here that I love saving time AND money. Because the truth is, managing an entire household can be hard at times. To be honest, I’ve had many days when I thought that I was going to lose marbles.
I was FINALLY able to get my messy home and budget under control once I simplified the way that I clean my house, track our budget, and get food on the table. But, spoiler alert…I wasn’t able to do it successfully on my own. There’s a lot of secret weapons that I keep in my back pocket that make my life easier and more organized. 
I created this resource page so that you can find them here! These are the exact products and services I use or recommend over and over all in one place, and I’m confident they’ll help you save more time, energy, and money too!
By the way, this page contains some affiliate links, which helps to keep this website running and to support my family, at no additional cost to you (thank you!). Furthermore, I would never recommend any product or company I haven’t personally used and/or verified. You may read my full disclosure policy for more information.

ibotta app
This is a rebate app that pays you FREE cash back for items you already buy at the grocery store! I absolutely LOVE to use Ibotta to save money on groceries (like milk, cereal, wine, detergent, and more!).
You just upload a pic of your receipt to claim your free cash back, then you can make a cash withdrawal via check, PayPal or gift card once you’ve earned $20 in your Ibotta account.

And when you really want to save money, make sure you’re logged into your Rakuten account to earn cash back on whatever you buy.

This is the most popular (and my favorite!) spot online to take surveys and get paid! You earn points for completing surveys that you can redeem for cash via Paypal or e-Giftcards. I absolutely love taking paid surveys to earn extra cash in my spare time.
sling tv (better than cable)
Sling Tv is like cable tv but at a FRACTION of the cost since you only pay for the channels you actually watch. So if you’ve cut the cord, sign up to stream Sling TV channels for FREE!

If you need to lower your cell phone bill, I HIGHLY recommend making the switch to Metro by T-mobile.
