It is time for a budget and online earnings update!
_________________________________________
Here are my extra earnings from the month!
$25 from Swagbucks (Amazon gift cards)
$18.96 from Adgitize (paypal, bloggers only. You earn more when you advertise with them and their Adgitize coupon promotion for free advertising is still good through the end of the month)
$48.89 from Mr. Rebates (paypal)
=$92.85
I didn’t earn anything from Cashbaq, Ebates (they pay every 3 months), Cashcrate ,or IRazoo.
I earned $338 with my blog, which unfortunately is the lowest month in the past year. That is somewhat expected since the summer slows things down (in this niche) and I started work so I have less time for it right now. Not for long… my official last day of work is July 13th. Would you like to make money blogging? Check out my articles on that topic in the “blogging” category of Little People Wealth.

Here is my Grocery and Household Budget Update:
Week 1 – $95.85 in groceries/household supplies for $32.85
Week 2 – $186.57 for $71.75
Week 3 – Did not shop
Week 4 – $54.62 for $20.36
I did great this month. I spent $124.96, which is under my $200/month budget. We took the extra to Costco and loaded up on their coupon items and a few stock supplies (we spent just over $50 on that so I still came out about $20 under budget this month). With the $125 I bought $337.04 in groceries and household supplies. That is a savings of 63%!!!
I only get one newspaper a week. I am not a major “stockpiler”. YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!
