This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

I just read a great article 10 Products to Always Buy Generic and I wanted to let you guys know how I feel about it.

They have a savings calculator to show how much you can save by buying generic vs. store brand. This is, of course, if you aren’t using coupons on the store brand items. Even the best couponers have those days when you need something and don’t have a coupon for it.

One of the best ways to save money, #1 on their list, was Generic Medications. Did you know they are required to have the same exact active ingredients in them? I didn’t know that. Well if that is the case, I say go generic on those!

The last on their list was Baby Formula. I know I have registered for Parent’s Choice, a Walmart store-brand formula before, and received coupons in the mail. With their low prices plus coupons, I was surprised this was last on their list. Unless I can get name-brand formula cheaper then store brand formula, I always buy store brand baby formula. I had no idea that the Infant Formula Act requires specific procedures be followed in making infant formulas; so you can rest assured generic or store brand formula are as good as the pricey ones that claim to be better for your baby. In fact, if you set the formulas side-by-side and compare ingredients, they are nearly identical.

Dr. Scholl’s deals!

Remember the free Dr. Scholl’s deal at Walgreens? Well, this week Dr. Scholl’s products also produce a $5 Register Reward when you purchase two.

Here’s how it works:

Buy 2 Dr. Scholl’s for Her Hidden Arch Inserts at $6.99 each
Use 2 $2/1 Dr. Scholl’s For Her Insoles coupon (IE) (FF)
Use 1 $5/1 Walgreens Dr. Scholl’s coupon from the July coupon booklet (available by the weekly sales fliers — will deduct $10)
Free plus you’ll get back $5 Register Rewards
Please note that you’ll need to add in a small filler item if this is all you’re purchasing as otherwise your total will be negative and the register won’t allow the transaction.

Reader Question:

“Can you make money legitimately online without blogging? I always feel like making money online is a scam!”

I agree! Most ways of “making money online” require you to “sign up for a monthly fee”. I never use or recommend those. Here are legit ways to make or save money online that I use and recommend, in order of my favorites:

Cash4Books.net is super easy! I had one reader email me to say she made $90 selling old books!

1. Enter books you have lying around and want to sell with their ISBN’s.
2. They pay for your shipping label — which you print right from your computer.
3. They pay you via paypal or check, whichever you prefer.

Sponsored Tweets: They pay you $1 per tweet you send that promotes a company.  You get to choose the wording and deny any tweet you don’t want to send.  The more followers you have on Twitter, the more opportunities you will have to make money. You don’t have to own a blog to be part of Sponsored Tweets.

SwagBucks: use their search engine on regular daily searches, and you earn SwagBucks. SwagBucks are redeemable for toys, clothes, airline miles, books, well just about anything. But most importantly, Amazon.com gift cards or PayPal cash, which can be used to get whatever you want.  I truly love Swaggin’!  Sign up for SwagBucks here.

These are all gift certificates, which stores look at as a form of payment, so they can be combined with coupons to save even more money!

Check out some national city deals offers available at all locations nationwide here:

$15 Taco Bell gift certificate for $12.

$15 Blimpie gift certificate for $12

$14 Dominos gift certificate for $11.20

Remember when I posted here about the hot sale on Swag Bucks for $5 transferred to your pay pal account for only 550 swags (normally 900).  And I was kinda ranting about my Pay Pal account being in a different email address then my Swag Bucks account, so I didn’t know if I’d get the money? Well check your emails if you did this deal, because I just got alerted that I got my $ and I checked Pay Pal and the $15 is there (I did this deal 3 times).  Sweet! Lovin’ Swag Bucks now.

The first 500 people that sign up for the Shop At Home Toolbar get a FREE $25 Restaurant card!  I’ve used these a few times and love it!  There are different restrictions depending on the restaurant you choose.

The toolbar is helpful because you can better remember to go there first before you buy online.  If your not a member yet, sign up here, then come back and get the toolbar.  It’s basically a free site that rebates you for shopping online.  So money back for something you do anyway!!  Get more info here.

They will notify you with 10 days to let you know if you get a $25 certificate.  Good luck!!
