Title: So besides surveys, what else do you do to help out with today's rising costs?

For me, it's couponing and going on FB to get free samples and coupons for free items.  I actually won a 100.00 Victoria's Secret gift card from VS last Christmas that helped me out with the gifts.

Other PTC sites where I earn a few more pennies a day. But they add up to a couple of hundred dollars by the end of the year. Hey, every little bit helps!

I do another site, but my main ting is cooking main meals that cost less but are just as good if not better, I do not buy any high price snackes any more. Make them at home for less and better for us.

I have joined a couple of other sites, but mostly spend time here on Fushion Cash.  Also I use alot of coupons when shopping.  Also watch how much I drive a month.  Try not to make unnecessary trips with the car. Cooking alot more at home.  Use social networking to keep in touch with family and friends instead of making long distance phone calls.

FC, other PTC sites and odesk is how I make extra cash. I always have made homemade meals and prefer to feed my family things I make myself. I try to use coupons when I can and do most of my shopping at Trader Joes. Trader Joes has great quality food that costs a lot less than the junk you find in the regular stores.   :thumbsup:

I'm fortunate that I have a wonderful gentleman in my life who makes enough to support the both of us. I'm much more frugal than he is, though. I was going to quit smoking because it costs way too much to support a nicotine habit nowadays, but I now make my own and end up paying $1.75 a pack that way.

Coupons, free samples, hanging clothes outside instead of dryer, multiple meals when oven is on, read multiple internet sites related to frugality looking for new ideas.
