Moola and Free Cooler

As you may remember, I do a little research/survey once in a while. The pay is not a lot, not a king's ransom. But, there are a few perks. Yes, this can mostly be done slouched down in the chair so my back will not ache. Occasionally, besides the $3 for the survey, I am sent a product to try. If I am lucky, I get an extra surprise.

There is a Styrofoam box in this package

Inside the Styrofoam box...paper
Underneath the paper?

A product for me to try

I was paid $9 for my bit--$3 for first survey, $3 for trying the product, $3 for answering the second survey after trying the product. It's not a lot, but I can do this almost lying down.  For payment I have a cc type card. I swipe it and spend the money accumulated. At first, I was going to save this during the year and have some Christmas money, but I managed to dribble it out when I get $12 to $15. I cannot stand to write a small check just because I don't have enough money in my pocket, so I use the card where they deposit money--the cc. No problem. Next year, I intend to do better. At the end of the next year I should have between $$75 and $100.

This is the third cooler I have received while trying products. The first box and cooler are somewhere. I leave the cooler in the box to protect the Styrofoam from damage and to provide extra insulation. The second cooler was approximately 12"x12"x10" high. It lives in the very clean trunk of exbf's car, always ready to carry food in the summer. A gallon of milk will fit in this latest cooler.

Little perks help. I am sure the cooler will be used, especially when it gets warmer.

I found a penny last Thursday. Before that on Tuesday, I found two pennies, one each in different locations. Ooops, this is not the little 'perk' I meant. People are really indiscriminately tossing that money around!

Your turn

Do you have something that earns you minuscule amounts of money? Do you let the benefits accumulate until you can get something? Or, do you spend it in dribs and drabs like I did this last bit, just so I won't have to write a small check?  



Opportunity for you, my friends

I participate in a research project. If you would like the opportunity to participate, also, send me an email to  pparsimony at yahoo dot com. It must be the email where you will be receiving/reading the survey. I have nothing to gain by your participation. I have a guaranteed $3 payment each time I complete a survey. Now, there are a list of questions about twice a month or more to qualify you. But, when they send the Questionnaire that is the research, you will get paid if you participate.

This is not a paid referral! I get nothing. Actually, I must spend time forwarding an email to you, but I don't mind the work.  I don't know how long I have to send the referrals, so get the addresses to me soon as you can. I will just destroy/delete your address so that I will not have information you do not wish me to have....well, unless you want me to have it.

Products are often sent for me to try. I cannot tell you what they are because of confidentiality.

Only one member per household may participate.

I make about $6-$12 each month without leaving my chair or brushing my teeth or putting on clothes...lol...I mean, shoes. It is not a lot, but some days have seen $3 as a boon for the gas tank or to get a gallon of milk when I had no money. I think I made $100 the first year. It is not a lot, but every little bit helps.

You can get the money in a $3 check, in pay pal, or on a credit card type card. I chose the card.

If you send me your email address where you want to get the email from the company, I will send it out to within 24 hours. If you do not get the email from me, then tell me again.

I am bracing myself for thousands of replies...lol

Do not send your participating email address to this blog, only to pparsimony...
