How To Survive Having Expensive Taste On A Small Budget

I became a mom at 17, bought a house at 20, and love the finer things in life.  All of these things have taught me how to save money but also find great deals on name brand items. I am going to share all of my secrets with you.

-One of my oldest secrets is the app Poshmark.  You can buy and sell clothes, makeup, and accessories.  I have found some amazing deals over the past years on this app.  I not only buy clothes for myself but I also find great deals on clothes for my son Mason.  Which is awesome because kids grow out of clothes so fast! I do not just buy from the app but I also sell.  I have made over $400 from selling on Poshmark.  You can either use what you make to purchase other items off of Poshmark or you can have it deposited into your bank account or receive a check.  Use the code KYLIE2012 when you sign up to receive $5 to use on your first purchase!  You definitely will not regret downloading this app.

-Shortly after I started using Poshmark, I discovered the app Mercari, which is very similar to Poshmark.  It is also an app where you can buy and sell items.  There are a few advantages to Mercari over Poshmark.  Mercari takes less of a commission from your sales than Poshmark does.  You also can find a lot more sellers offering free shipping on Mercari and this girl lives for free shipping!  Use my code XZUNQY when you sign up to receive $10 to use on your first purchase!

-Now lets talk about Target, my favorite place on earth.  Unfortunately I live 2.5 hours away from the closest Target.  I know...its crazy! That is why a Target Red Card is a MUST for me!  You get 5% off of every order and FREE shipping.....you all know how I feel about free shipping! Now they are also offering free 2 day shipping on some items which is amazing!! I don't know why anyone would NOT have a Target Red Card. There is no downfall to having one. Sprint to the nearest Target and sign up NOW!  Don't forget to also use the Target Cartwheel app in store to save extra.  I always scan all of my items to check and see if there is an extra discount that I can use.

-The next secret I have been using for years....Ebates.  It is so easy to save money by using Ebates anytime you shop online.  Since I live far away from civilization I am always ordering online.  Just ask my son...there is a package at our door about everyday!  With Ebates all you have to do is go through their website to get to Walmart, American Eagle, Macy's or wherever you want to order from and they will pay you a percentage back of your purchase.  It is so easy you just have to remember to use it!  Use this website to sign up and get $10 https://www.ebates.com/r/KYLIED74?eeid=28187


These are my top and most used ways to save money.  I honestly live to find amazing deals and I am always searching for new ways to save! I have expensive taste but I will RARELY pay full price for anything!!

Become a Partner in Hope

Today is February 4th, which also happens to be World Cancer Day.  In honor of World Cancer Day, the radio station I listen to everyday at work had many cancer survivors, and parents of cancer patients tell their stories.  Every time a parent or a child told their story, I was almost in tears.  In every story they all said "I never thought it would happen to me."  It is so true, no one ever thinks it is going to happen to them.  I couldn't even begin to imagine if I was told that my son has cancer.  I don't want to even think about it.  After hearing all of these stories I decided I wanted to do something to help.  So I went on to stjude.org and became a partner in hope.  I signed up to donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital monthly.  It comes straight out of your credit card or bank account.  You can choose the dollar amount to donate per month.  Any amount helps so much.  It is so easy to do and I hope others wi...

2015 Review

Happy New Year!!! Mason and I have made it to another year.  It seems like such an accomplishment every year.  2015 was a great year for Mason and I. We started out 2015 with Ryan and Leah's wedding.  Mason made an adorable ring bearer and he had a blast dancing the night away.  Also in January Mason had his second surgery.  He took it like a champ.  There were some positives and negatives to having been through it before but the recovery this time went a lot smoother. I had my 1 year anniversary working at TCB in February.  That means my 2 year is quickly approaching.  I am still enjoying it there.  My family tries to accuse me of converting over to a Knights fan, but I say I just like to support everyone! In May a lot of things happened.  Mason turned the big THREE! I don't know how I can be the mother of a three year old already, but I am.  He has grown up so much and he won't slow down. I applied for a mortgage loan and a...

GoodNites Tru-Fit Real Underwear Review

Ever since Mason has been potty trained and wearing big boy pants it has been a struggle at night time to get him to wear a diaper.  He cannot yet make it through the night without wetting the bed.  I went through a phase where I would have to duck tape Mason's diaper on in order for him not to rip it off in the middle of the night.  I had recently used up all of his diapers so I went to the store to check out what my options were.  I found the perfect solution to my problem!  I found GoodNites Tru-Fit Underwear.  They are real underwear that you can insert an absorbent pad in.  I was skeptical about how well they would actually work because Mason's diaper is usually full in the morning but I was pleasantly surprised!  I have not had one leak on me yet. I had never heard of GoodNites underwear before but I am so glad that I found them! No more diapers for Mason! Below I have posted a link to purchase GoodNites Underwear.  I have not yet shopp...
