Today’s question is from Susan:
Through the years, I’ve earned a few thousand dollars from Swagbucks, and continue to use and enjoy the program. I’ve also had great success in the past with mPOINTS (now known as mPLUS Rewards).
However, I now have requested payouts for about $50 worth of gift cards in the past two months, and have not received my claim codes for any of these cards. I’ve reached out to the company’s customer service on multiple occasions, and have received no response.
Have any of you experienced a story similar to mine? This was once a great way to earn some extra money, but now I’m beginning to wonder if the company has gone bankrupt. If I’m not going to be reimbursed for my efforts with this program, I don’t want to waste my time. Thanks so much!

Today’s questions is from April:
I just finished reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and I now have a huge pile of items I no longer want to keep!
I would like to try and get some money out of them, but having a garage sale won’t work based on where I live. One thing I thought I could do was sell my pile of books online, but it doesn’t look as easy as I thought.
Do you have any suggestions (besides ebay) on how I can sell my used books online without doing it as a business or having to pay a monthly fee?

Today’s question is from Carrie:
I would like to supplement my full-time job to pay down some debts. I want to do it from home as I am a single mom and I always have my kids with me.
I could do something in the evening while they are sleeping or on the weekends when they are playing. I’ve tried the online surveys. I’ve sold Avon. I have good computer, typing, and proofreading skills.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Today’s questions is from Sara:
What is the best, most frugal store or website to buy new toddler clothes?
I’ve been blessed to have a friend supply nearly all of my daughter’s clothes through hand-me-downs, but now that friend is moving away, and I’ve been caught off guard.
I have tried shopping clearance sales and thrift stores, but everything is out of season at this point, and we’re headed quickly towards cold weather with only three long-sleeved shirts. I am employed out of the home full time, so time is a precious resource as well.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
