My product test for this week are a odd lot:
one Mac lipstick ( I am not supposed to know this, but I do).
1 sunflower pillow
1 book vase (The Great Gatsby)
1 bouquet of Lilies
1 package of watermelon radishes
12 in one ninja air fryer
plant based Plant You Scrappy
I will show items at the end of my product testing. Product testing can be weird things that can make nice gifts for others. I pay nothing out of pocket. I write my review and go on my way. I often give the items away when it says in the directions I can. Or I barter for items we want or need. I receive something every week.
If you use Amazon Prime, make sure you are taking advantage of it. Movies, music, and 10 free Prime borrows at a time. You also get a free Prime First book or two every month. Take advantage of prime shipping. We live in a rural area and I use this to avoid trips to the city.
If you are civic minded, consider being frugal about using ebooks rather than physical books. Ebook licensing is very pricey for libraries. https://www.wmur.com/article/libraries-ebooks-e-books-publishers-costs/60190720#:~:text=The%20digital%20titles%20often%20come,t%20be%20haggled%20with%20pub. I was surprised to see this in several newspapers across the country.
Save your paperwork. 3 years ago, we ordered expensive chairs for our porch. They have not weathered well. I sent in picture and my warranty. We are receiving new chairs on the 9th and they threw in two end tables. We send a lot of time on front porch living room.
Fitness will make your clothing look better. Yes, there are flaws you can correct with clothing and shapewear. Let's face it, the best shapewear is muscle. A few sets of dumbells. bodyweight exercises, and pilates can create long, sleek muscle.
If you are traveling. pack any medications you think you may need. I bring:
Cough syrup
nausea remedy
intestinal remedy
pain relievers
Muxinex
Allergy meds
Skin creams
First aid kit
Arm sling
Ace bandage
therometer
covid tests
plastic juice can of kitty litter(It will absorb vomit)
dental repair kit
We have taken many road trips. We have had kid injuries, colds, flu, stomach issues. Let me tell you, one doesn't want to be stuck for a week in Ely, Nevada and need any one of these things. Chances you won't find your brand and will pay 4x what you should (I hate Ely, Nevada).
I stopped by my local 1.25 store today. Our dollar store is still a hot mess. I am hoping it improves. However, when we were on the road we found one that had quality, name brand yarn, and other craft items. Our daughter is an artist so we are always getting art items for her.
IPSY is a great value and you can cancel at anytime. You pay 14. for 5 products in a makeup bag.
If you use a credit card, make sure you get a cashback card. I pay all of our bills with one card and it racks up the points.
Start a side hustle and do not spend the money. Put it into savings for a year. This can be used to get rid of credit card debit or pay down your the principal on your house.
Sell unused items and put the money into savings.
