If you have followed my blog then you know I am a mom of 4. There are 6 of us in my family including my husband and myself. My husband works hard and long to take care of us and I am a SAHM. I run my blog and have been able to get sponsored posts that I get paid for but I also have found other ways to get free product or earn a little money here and there. I have found many apps to save money and sites such as Ebates and Ibotta to help me maximize my spending. In addition to these apps there are many companies that send coupons or will give you free items on your birthday or throughout the year.

This is a great list. I have been using Bzzagent for two years now but I have not had any campaign offer for over 9 months, which is a bit disappointing. But I will definitely give the others a try!
I use Swagbucks and Ebates which comes in handy for saving money! However I like the sound of living social as discounts for a night out sound perfect!
