Welcome to Simply Frugal Mom.

 I created this blog in hopes that I can help other moms make a little extra cash and find ways to save money on a daily basis. Life's hard, why not make saving money simply easy, and fun. Living frugal can simplify life and doesn't necessarily mean you can't enjoy the finer things in life. I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog  please take a moment leave me feedback. Enjoy, Nessa

wasted my valueable time

So awhile back I posted about working from home and finding legit jobs that you can do from the comfort of your own home. Unlike other bloggers that are sponsored by x or o, I'm not sponsored by anyone nor do I make money off my blog. So basically what I'm trying to say is I'm just gonna be honest with you all.  After countless hours of searching the world wide web, near and far, filling my free time with my on-going search, reading other blogger reviews and many other review websites .I can honestly say I have yet to find a legitimate job that pays enough to invest you time into.  Maybe I'm missing something but the few that I wasted my time on ending up making me a whopping $14.47 for a WHOLE month.  Not really worth all the time I spent on it. Maybe you've had better luck than I have and have actually managed to find something worth your time. if so drop a comment. I'm open to advice.  But until then I'm calling off my research and investing my extra time

Covid-19

Well, let me just start by apologizing about there not being any no new post lately.  This post is more a vent post and an update from me than it is frugal advice.  I've been super crazy busy. This Covid-19 has really put my life into a constant state of disarray. Me, being considered one of those lovely essential workers (whoop whoop)and being on the front line day in and day out. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. Unlike half the population that got that lovely money from unemployment, that boost in food stamps AND got to sit on their asses at home. I have been working, we did get our stimulus checks, but other than that we haven't received anything extra no NOTHING .  Since we work none of us even qualify for any kind of government help.  So the struggle has been real, having extra meals to make and more expenses to shell out since the kids are home more. Thankfully my hours haven't been cut, if anything we have been working more hours. Yet it's exhausting and it

Mercari

Yes, I know, I know, I've already made a post about Marcari and upcycling but it wasn't as detailed. I promise I have loads and loads of new information for you. It may be a wee bit long and isn't intended for virgin ears, but if you can handle a few cuss words continue reading.  I haven't been a member of their website for very long (started in August of this year, and didn't start listing anything until Mid-September) but in that short period of time I've already made $252.82 plus $31.50 that is currently processing. I think that is so freaking awesome; plus that is from selling ONLY 11 things. I'm as happy as a kid in a candy store with this app. When you sign up using my link you get $10 off your first purchase.  *link not working,copy and paste into your browser.. https://merc.li/JaZz3aXAb*  Not to mention I love getting great deals on there also. so far I've had only two transactions (where I was the buyer) that were not 5 stars out of probably 40

Ugh! AliExpress is a Noooo Go.

 *update on my review of AliExpress* So I am known for always trying something once. Well I downloaded the app AliExpress, at first I liked it. Because it was like Wish but you Supposedly got your stuff faster. Well with that being said I believe I'll just stick to wish and wait for the stuff because I ordered a speaker and a purse set from AliExpress and it's nothing but disappointing. The speaker sucks its tiny and the volume is not even slightly loud.My cell phone is louder. And the purse what can I say? It's a F%$&ing joke, looks like something I would give a three year old to play with.  don't waste your time or money on this app.  I am just gonna stick with Wish and wait for my stuff to get here. Here are pictures of what I ordered and what I received. I said you have got to be kidding me when I opened the package containing the "purse"!!
