a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

Survey Income Cashout

The surveys have been hitting my email inbox in record numbers the past few weeks.  After finishing a survey last night, I checked my member reward point status and decided it was time to request another check.  Opinion Outpost allows members to request a cashout with a minimum of just 50 points but I don’t [...]

Day 261: Car Stereo, Nalgene Bottle, & Skirt Hangers (plus incoming $)

Total Spent Today: $298.31
Net Spent Today: $243.33
REI — ($50.13)
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I collected all of our old Nalgene bottles (well, all the ones the kids could find — one of The Daughter’s is still missing) to return for a refund/store credit.  The return process took a couple of minutes but overall went very [...]

Alternative Income

I received my first check from Opinion Outpost* today!  As soon as my account reached $10 (the minimum payout amount), I requested my first check.  I didn’t necessarily need the money immediately; I did it more to confirm that the company was legit and that I’d really get checks.  Otherwise, there’d be no reason to [...]

Sales on Wagglepop

Wow, things are popping at Wagglepop!  I’ve had 6 sales in November alone — two of them were for multiple items.  I have no idea of why things have picked up in my Wagglepop store but I’m certainly not going to complain.  Of course, this month’s $300 worth of sales can’t even begin to compare to [...]

eCrater and Wagglepop sales

You know that old saying, “When it rains, it pours.” Well, it sure applies to me today. And this is the kind of rain I love.

Sales.

First, I had multi-item purchase from my eCrater store. Not half an hour later, someone purchased three items from my Wagglepop store. Even better, both buyers paid immediately through Paypal [...]

Return on our Clothing "Investments"

The last of my eBay auctions ended yesterday. It certainly doesn’t take a financial genius to realize that Hanna Andersson was clearly the leading brand for getting a return on my clothing “investments.”
I hope you can guess that I’m speaking tongue-in-cheek here about viewing clothing expenditures as investments. Still, I can’t argue with the fact [...]
