Crystal here! When Jesse and I were first married, we were living in a little basement apartment on a literal beans and rice budget. Every single penny counted! When I discovered I could earn some income taking surveys through Pinecone, I was SO excited! It was a way for me to earn a little extra money every month that we’d use for fun things like dates or treats.
We’d save the money and use it to get a $2.99 meal and a $0.99 kid’s meal from Long John Silver’s with coupons for our date! Or we’d order two things each off the dollar menu at McDonald’s or we’d rent a movie for $0.50 from the movie store! I was so, so grateful for those little bits of income that came in from surveys because it was a way we could afford to do some fun things on a super, super tight budget!
If your budget is really tight, I highly recommend checking out the opportunity to take surveys through Pinecone — and they are accepting new applicants right now!
Earn Money With Pinecone Research
Pinecone Research has some openings available for new applicants! If you’ve tried in the past and haven’t been able to get in, definitely try again! They open their doors to more of a general population for a limited time at the beginning of each month.
Hurry — they typically only leave their doors open for a day or two! (But if you don’t get accepted this month, be sure to check back next month to try again. Sometimes it takes a few tries!)
Pinecone Research is one of my very favorite survey companies and one that I found offered the most surveys for the best pay. Our readers LOVE it and have had great experiences with it, too, as you can see from the testimonial above!
Gretchen from the MSM team here! When my husband and I were first married, we had NO money. (We lived on $22/week for groceries!) Sometime during those first few months of marriage, I got accepted to do surveys through Pinecone. Those little $3 surveys gave us “splurge” money for little date nights and coffee treats at Starbucks over the next couple of years. I am still so grateful for Pinecone and am kind of partial to it years later. It provided so many fun little blessings and memories.
If you are in a tight spot, or want a little bit of fun money, hurry and get in on this before they close it!

Love drug store shopping each week? Don’t miss these GREAT deals Brigette grabbed this week at CVS and Walgreens!
CVS Shopping Trip
All of my coupons are from the CVS app. I highly recommend it if you don’t have it already! Just log in to your account and clip the coupons you want, and they automatically come off in the store. There are CVS store coupons and manufacturer coupons to clip on the app – and you can stack them on the same product.
Total: $44.44 plus tax Paid with $25.08 ECB’s Total Paid Out of Pocket: $22.47, plus I received $24 ECB’s and $18 Rebates!
Walgreens Shopping Trip
All of my coupons are from the Walgreens app. I highly recommend downloading it if you haven’t already. You can clip both Manufacturer’s and Store coupons and stack them together on the same item.
Note: This is a MUCH higher out-of-pocket than I normally spend, but we really needed toilet paper, and I decided this scenario was worth it to me because of the high value rebates and register rewards.
What I Bought:
4 Charmin Toilet Paper – $19.96 Receive $5 Register Rewards when you buy 4 = $19.96 for 4 total out of pocket ($14.96 for 4 after $5 Register Rewards!)
2 Oral-B Toothbrush – $7 Receive $15 Register Rewards when you spend $45 on Select P & G Products Used $3/2 Oral-B digital manufacturer’s coupon = $4 for 2 total out of pocket (I thought I was going to get back a $3 Walgreens Cash for buying 2 – but discovered that’s only for an online deal unfortunately.)
Total: $55.91 plus tax Used $15/$60 Spend Booster Walgreens digital coupon Paid with $10 Register Rewards Total Paid Out Of Pocket: $49.82, plus I received $24 Register Rewards, $15.69 Walgreens Cash and $16 Rebates
