Free Money from AmyLynn.org

http://www.amylynn.org/home/

I know you have seen the banner over on the side of this blog, but I thought I would explain the site to you. This site has hundreds if not thousands of links to survey sites, product testing,etc. Where you can earn checks, prizes, points, and cash. As the US rules on taxes, as long as you do not make over $600 you do not have to claim it on your income tax.

When you click on Amy's site, you will see a list of links on the left hand side. One of them is called "Join us at our Forum". You do not need to register to view the forum. This is where the latest surveys, bulletin boards, etc that are only for a specific time frame are posted. They are generally posted under the "Local and Limited". I post a lot on these two with the money making surveys, group meetings, etc that I find.

Just recently I did a bulletin board, where I had to sign off and on throughout 3-days answering questions on a forum like board about products. After the 3 days were done, I received a $75 virtual Visa card. It's a gift card that you have to use online.

So, check it out, some of the $75 is what I used to buy the books at Abe Books.

BizKids- Helping kids

http://www.bizkids.com/show.aspx

I found this site while searching around for Economic teachings. This is a video series that encourages kids that they are inventive and there are ways to make money and successful.

Teaching Citizenship

This link is from the UK, but I found that there was no difference from our beliefs.

Abe Books - Low prices for books and textbooks

http://www.abebooks.com/

I found a site a couple of days ago with books and textbooks that were very low prices, even for the teacher's editions. I asked people in a Yahoo Group, (TNHomeEd), that I am a member of about it. And they said that they do shop from this place and it is legit. So I gave it a try. Since I am going to school my kids through High School (hopefully), I went ahead and started to buy what they will need. My oldest is now entering 7th grade so it's not that far away from 9th.

I spent a total of $18.76 for:
  1. World History: The Human Experience-$4.15
  2. Algebra I-$3.97
  3. Glencoe Language Arts, Grammar and Composition-$6.67
  4. Glencoe Physical Science-$3.97

All of these are Teacher Editions. They are used, but I see nothing wrong with using books that have been gently worn and used. The seller of the books contacted me late last night through email and said that I would be receiving them shortly, possibly next week. Plus the best thing is that the shipping was FREE!

My shipment from Points 2 Shop came in yesterday

Here is some pictures of the items that I have gotten from the site Points 2 Shop.
