Money making sites that pay. Earn some extra money at home

They don't pay a lot and instead of giving you a huge post in details about them I am just giving you my links. Just about all of them require your time, some more than others. I value my personal so I don't make a huge amount of money on these sites but each have different oppertunities to make more. Oh and all of them have offers on their sites that want you to buy stuff. You are going to run into that anywhere, LOOK for the things that are free to do, some might be hidden but they are there. I go through and do free offers, and some free daily things. I never rarely give these sites more than 2hrs of my time throughout the day. I have recently decided to check a few new ones out also. So far they are like the others, it will add up, based on how much time I give them. I think all but swagbucks says you can only have 1 member per household. 
So check these sites out and read through the FAQ's and learn all you can to get the most of them. If you have any questions just leave a message and I will answer and help in any way I can.  If you are not in the United States than you should make sure they are offered in your country.
All of these Sites are FREE to sign up for.

irazoo  pretty much the same as swagbucks, their rewards cost more to cash out but they also pay more for searches and stuff so it evens out to be the same as others.

Leave the coupon binder at home

  I have been couponing for awhile now and although I have saved A LOT of moneyI have not deducted the amount of money I spend per month on groceries, I didn't realize how little I was buying before. I suppose I should have since I basically went to Sam's Club every few months to stock up on the same things over and over.
  I wasn't supposed to do any shopping this month other than milk and bread, so far I have failed. I have an addictive personality and this couponing is my latest obsession.
  Today I decided to try something different in hopes to spend less money. I left my coupon binder at home. I wrote up my lists and grabbed the matching coupons and figured just how much money I should need for each store and put them in an envelope and in my purse. I also put a few other coupons in the envelope in case the store was out of some of my list items as I needed to spend a specific amount to get a deal with a dollars off coupon.. I went to the bank to deposit my mail in rebate that had come in. While I was there I took out enough cash to cover my store trips.
  Leaving the binder at home and having a set amount of cash was the smartest thing I have ever done. The blogs I follow all recommend carrying all of your coupons with you in case there is a 'great deal' or 'clearance'. There actually were some pretty good deals and I knew I had coupons to match them, at home. I just told myself , and this was hard to do, that if I really wanted the stuff I could come back later.
  If I had my coupons with me I definitly would have bought the items and I would have spent a lot more money. I came home and put my groceries that I purchased away, took my son to the ortodonist and picked up my husband at work. Here it is almost 11pm and I can't even remember what those 'great deals' were. Guess they weren't that important after all. 
     I am no longer taking my coupon binder to the store with me, that right there will save me money.  I am not giving on couponing though, I am just going to plan it out better and stick to my lists!!
