I needed to make a little extra money this month, as there are some bills piling up around here and a bunch of fun things my family wants to do on the horizon. This isn’t a situation I find myself in too often (thankfully) and I was more than willing to pull up my sleeves and look for some temporary work around town. The job market here isn’t as bad as in many places, and it’s easy to find temp work at least, so that was my plan. However, my husband suggested that instead of going out to work that I sell a few unneeded items on eBay as he has a game-system and a few other electronic gadgets that are just collecting dust.
So, I went ahead and listed the items as seven day auction,s and was happy to pocket the money that we needed. I think a lot of people have forgotten about eBay, but there are still tons of interested buyers there, and it’s a good place to make a quick buck if you have unused items around the house. Of course, it’s much easier if you have higher priced electronic items like I did, as selling a few things is a lot easier than selling a few dozen items!
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nestle Nescafe Dolce Gusto. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you’re like me and love to enjoy fancy coffee drinks, then you’ll want to check out the great contest that’s going on over at Divine.ca. The contest is running from April 26, 2010 to June 20, 2010 and Divine.ca is giving away 10 NESCAFE Dolce Gusto coffee machines! Personally I’d love to win one, as just reading about the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto has me hankering for a cappuccino. Of course, without the ability to make one at home, I’m sort of out of luck right now!
The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto gives folks the ability to make all sorts of high quality coffee drinks at home, including both hot and cold coffee drinks. The machine uses KRUPS technology in order to make professional quality coffee. The machine uses a capsule system that makes it an easy task for anyone to prepare perfect drinks. I’ve seen the capsules before and not only do they make for some great coffee, but they also make clean up very easy as well.
Remember that the contest closes on June 20, so you’ll want to head over to divine.ca soon for your chance to win a NESCAFE Dolce Gusto machine. Also, keep in mind that the contest is only open to Canadian residents.
Gardening is one of ways that I try to save money while eating at the same time eating healthier. Out back, I have my own little (very little) organic garden, and I truly have a great time watching it grow. This year I am planting tomato plants, cucumbers, kale, and a few other things that haven’t quite been decided yet. Tomatoes are an absolute favorite around here, so the plan is to use over half of the garden for tomatoes alone! They are also the vegetable that I’ve had the most luck growing, so they’re a pretty safe bet to turn out big, red and tasty!
Growing our own vegetables is not only cost efficient and fun, but it’s also a healthy thing as we can grown them without any pesticides and such. Doing a little gardening can reap big rewards, and growing organic vegetables at home sure is a lot cheaper than buying them at the grocery store!
