Thirty One Gifts!!!

Are you interested in making a little bit of extra money every month?? If so, then you should consider becoming a Thirty One Consultant!!

You're are going to LOVE Thirty One products! If you’re not a seller, there is no need to worry because these products sell themselves. I have been a consultant since August of last year and I have been more than pleased with the outcome. To be honest with you, I haven’t even hosted a home party and I’ve walked away many months with free products and a commission check as well. (Consultants make 25% commission off products). I’ve been successful just by hosting catalog parties, which not only works with my busy lifestyle but also allows me to sell an amazing product!

When you Join Thirty One as an Independent Thirty One Consultant, it is fun and extremely easy. Thirty One offers a unique opportunity to start your own home based business for a very minimal cost, just $99! When you see the possibiliteies a Thirty One Gifts Business has, and realize the success that so many other consultants have already experienced you will realize that this is one business opportunity you don’t want to pass up!!

To give you an idea of what you can earn and make see below:

This past month by commission check was over $300 and I got the following products completely free since I hosted a show by myself:

2 Small Thermal Totes (Reg. Price $12.00 each)
1 Small Thermal Tote Monogrammed (Reg. Price $16.00)
1 Large Utility Tote (Reg. Price $36.00)
1 Cosmetic Bag Monogrammed (Reg. Price $31.00)
1 Flat Iron Case (Reg. Price $20.00)
1 Compact Mirror (Reg. Price $10.00)
1 Manicure Set (Reg. Price $16.00)
1 Albany Bag Monogrammed (Reg. Price $54.00)
1 Organizing Utility Tote Monogrammed (Reg. Price $28.00)

That’s a total of $223.00 in products completely free!!!

Thirty One at the current time is in a Recruitment Freeze because the business is growing sooo fast! No need to worry though, because in June they allowed the first 3,000 on the waitlist to sign up. Hopefully in July and August more will be able to join as well. To get on the waitlist to join, you can visit my website and click “Join my team”. Keep in mind that this will not be an outright commitment, you will not order your kit yet and you have plenty of time to ask questions. Selecting "Yes, I am going to sign up when I can" (vs. "Maybe, I am thinking") will guarantee you an open spot as soon as the freeze ends.

Once there are spots open, you will get an email saying that you can go ahead and sign up. You will have 2 weeks from that date to sign on as a consultant and you will place your order for your starter kit then.

Frequently Asked Questions about Joining Thirty-One as a Consultant:

Q: What does it cost to join?

A: Your enrollment kit costs $99 and you will receive more than $300 worth of products and business supplies. Everything in the kit is yours to keep!

Q: How do I make money with Thirty-One?

A: Your commission is 25% of what you sell. You also can make added revenue dependent on the number of recruits you have enrolled.

Q: Does Thirty-One have any sales requirements?

A: Once you are a qualified consultant (which means you have made $1,000 in sales), you need to sell $250 in product each quarter to remain active.

Q: Is it hard to sell $250/quarter?

A: It really isn't. An average party yields about $450 in sales.

Q: Will I have support?

A: You bet. In addition to having a full team at the Home Office, terrific online resources and a Director you can call whenever you need to talk, you will have ME.

If you have any questions about becoming a hostess please feel free to email me at any time at tlc1982@aol.com or you can call me at 205-886-8070.

I think you’re going to LOVE Thirty One and the best part about the company is not only earning products and commission, but that it is also a Christian based company. It’s a great company to work for and they give God all the glory which makes it even better!!!

Looking forward to hopefully having you on my team soon!

Saving Dinnertime and Your Budget One Day at a Time

Hi, Southern Savings readers! We're Jessica and Heather of Saving Money & Living Life! We are so honored that Tara is letting us blog swap with her today. Allow us to introduce ourselves, we blog about our lives as newlyweds (well, kind of, it's been almost 3 years now for Heather & about 3 1/2 for Jess), how to save money, frugal lifestyles & fun, recipes (see Heather's colorful bean dip app), and being domestic (see Jess's hutch re-do). We'd love for you to find us on Facebook and follow along with us on our journey! Please stop by and leave a comment, we love to meet people and chat!

Enough about us though, we're here to talk about ways to get your family back around the dinner table. Does it happen more often than you would like to admit that you find yourself running home from work, trying to fit in a workout or time with your kids and then staring blankly into the fridge trying to figure out what’s for dinner? I know I used to find myself in that spot ALL the time. Then inevitably, we’d end up eating takeout, or a frozen pizza, fatty pasta etc.




Well, luckily E-mealz comes to the rescue in situations like this! It is an online menu planning service that offers a menu plan for busy moms, newlyweds learning to cook & families. They have over 20 menu plans for a family ranging from 2-6 based on options that include low carb, low fat, point system, and vegetarian as well as different grocery stores and mass retailers. This way they can help families save money based on weekly sales at their chosen grocery store. It essentially takes care of the “What’s for dinner?” question quickly and cost effectively.

Even if you don’t know how to use coupons, just by having a meal plan on shopping based on what’s on sale, you’ll save lots of money & time with this plan! Since I am a couponer, I tend to spend even less money than they project because I shop my stockpile first. For instance, if there’s canned corn on the shopping list to go with one meal, and I have frozen broccoli on hand, I substitute that in. I also use coupons that I find in databases like Hot Coupon World to bring the price down as well. I also may decide that I don’t want to make one of the meals because my husband won’t like it and instead substitute in a family favorite or something we already have on hand that we can make for free or close to it.


Their goals are to provide
Delicious family friendly recipes
Ingredients bought on special and/or at the best price available
An easy and stress free home-cooked dinner
Precious moments with the most special people in your life
E-mealz is only $5 a month and keeps your dinner grocery budget for 2 people between $35-$45 for the week & between about $70-$80 for families of 4-6. But with the coupon code savemoney that you can use from us you’ll receive over 10% off your first purchase of a plan at E-mealz, how great is that?!

If you have any questions about the program, feel free to ask. Have any of you tried it? If so, what did you think? I certainly wish that someone would’ve told me about E-mealz when I had first gotten married, had no idea how to cook, no idea how to meal plan, and definitely no idea how to save money at the grocery store. In fact, this would make an INCREDIBLE cost effective wedding or shower gift!

All You Magazine Deal!!! $0.63 per issue!

Once again, Ebates is offering up 52% cash back on Magazines.com purchases today, July 26th! Now please keep in mind that if you purchase a subscription to All You magazine, you will ONLY get 26% cash back on your subscription (all other magazines will score you 52% cash back).
That means you can score a 1-year subscription to All You magazine on Magazines.com for just $14.78 (after the 26% cash back)! That makes each issue just $1.23! Or even better, you may instead want to consider purchasing a 2-year subscription to All You for $34, so after the 26% cash back, you’ll pay ONLY $25.16 – which makes each issue only $1.05!

…And keep in mind that if you are a new member to Ebates, you’ll earn a $10 bonus gift card to the store of your choice once you make a purchase of $25 or more (which you will have done with the 2 year subscription). That will bring the cost of this 2-year subscription down to just $15.16. That makes each issue only $0.63! Even if you already have a subscription, you may want to think about getting an additional one at this price. Double the subscriptions means double the coupons!

Here’s how to get this deal…
*Go here to create an Ebates account or login to your existing account.

*Click on the Magazines.com link and you will be redirected to their site.

*Type “All You” in the search box

*Choose either the $19.97 1-year subscription or the $34 2-year subscription

Hello New Couponers!!!

If you're new to couponing, welcome!! I think you're going to be AMAZED at how much you can save just by using coupon. Last year alone, my family of 3 saved well over $8000 just by using coupons!!! So many people ask me how long it takes and is it worth it to coupon?? I always say, it's well worth it and it usually only takes me about 30 minutes to an hour a week to coupon the way I do. Now, if you've watched the Extreme Couponing Show on TLC, I'm nothing like these ladies and men, however I still can save but I coupon on a smaller scale.

If you're interested in learning the secrets to couponing, I currently teach classes in Alabama and will travel outside the state if needed. Classes range in price from $10 to $15 per person and they last 2 hours. During the class you will learn the following: Couponing Tips, Where to Get Coupons, Coupon Organization, Shopping at Publix and CVS (Or your local grocery store), Local Store Policies and much more!!! Each person will receive a coupon booklet and you then can email me at any time for questions!! I'll be glad to help you in any way possible.

To give you an idea of how much you can save, check out this picture of some items I purchased from Publix recently!

Okay, so before you take a look at all the stuff, please remember that I don't shop like this every week. This trip was very EXTREME and most of my trips look nothing like this. I just wanted to show you all how much you could get and how much you can save. ( My weekly trips usually involve smaller quantities and fewer coupons) Everything that I bought, my family will use and we are also going to give most of it away. (If you know of a local family who is struggling and would love to have some groceries, please email me and I can take them some stuff or will be glad to meet you somewhere) Always remember that if you can get items FREE or even better if you can be paid to buy the items then grab them and donate to those in need. My family feels like God has blessed us so much and we love that he is my couponing classes and even shopping trips to bless others as well. He has given us so much and we are forever grateful!

Okay, so on to the trip!

Here are the items I purchased:

2 Bags of Shredded Cheese (Not Pictured)

2 1/2 Gallons of Almond Milk

6 Boxes of Cheese It's

5 Boxes of Pepperidge Baked Snacks

10 Jars of Pasta Sauce (Raincheck)

25 Boxes of Pasta

89 Bags of Yellow Rice

86 Bottles of Propel Water

4 Boxes of Yogurt

1 Bag of Potatoes

1 Carton of Strawberries

4 Packages of Hotdogs

1 Bottle of Ketchup

1 Package of Chicken Tenders

1 Box of Spinach
1 Bottle of Apple Juice

2 Containers of Lysol Wipes

3 Packages of Peanut Butter Crackers

Order Total = -17.56

Tax = $18.79
