Sharing what I've learned that makes "Cents"

Life is challenging as we all know. These days, it's harder than ever to make ends meet and to let go of stress. So, I find good ways to stretch a dollar, as well as, enjoy life! I find daily ways to live happier and to thrive in a world that can often be challenging. Its always been very important to me that I help others along the way. After all, isn't that what life is about?

Keeping tabs on ways to afford the things that you need, and have a little left for those things you simply "want", is my mission. At the same time, I still leave room for spending quality time with the people and things I love, plus spreading joy when possible.

Hope I can help you in some way, as many others have done for me! Remember...try to always "pay it forward"!

My Favorite Apps!!



I have been LOVING my new iPhone 6!! It simply has so much to offer, and each day I learn of another great app to add to my vast collection. Some of them are winners...and some are losers (which I immediately delete). Today, I am sharing some of my most favorite apps and why they are so great!

OFFERUP- This is my newest one that I simply love! Within 6 hours of use, I had already made my first sale :-)! It allows users to quickly upload images (one picture unless you have a collage app), add text, a price and category of an item for sale. It will show your items based on your location and allow other users to make offers on your great things!

SHOPSAVVY- You can now keep up to date on the latest, greatest sales in your area. It will scour all of the local stores, but, also scour online deals too! You can scan a barcode that you find in a store, and before you make a purchase, it will tell you if it is the best deal or not. Fantastic!!

FOTOR-This is "The Poor Man's Photoshop"! I actually found it while searching the internet for a free photo editing program. I'd taken headshots at home, and wanted to edit them to look as though they were professional. Well, this free app did the trick alright. It is so user-friendly and simple. My images came out great, and everyone thinks a Professional Photographer took them. You can change facial flaws, eyes, hair, wrinkles, age, etc. There are tons of classic and magazine collage templates too. So many tools. Love it!!

MINT.COM- Created by Intuit, this site is amazing for keeping track of budgets, setting goals, monitoring your accounts, suggesting ways to save money, etc. It sends you your weekly spending and breaks it down into a colorful pie chart. It is also wonderful for keeping track of things throughout the year, which makes it so much easier at tax time!

GSALR-Fabulous Garage Sale app that will target current sales within the area that you choose. It pulls information from many sites online. It connects to your GPS and google maps to make it easy for you to navigate, and allows you to "favorite" the ones you want to check out.

CAMSCANNER-I found this handy app as a Sales Rep working out of my car. I needed to fax documents, but, did not have a way to do so. This app will take a picture of a document, allow you to brighten and straighten, or crop it. It will then convert it to a PDF file that you can fax or email to anyone. It saved me on so many occasions when I needed to send a fax in a hurry!

ZEDGE- This is such a fun app that will let you download all kinds of free ringtones, notification sounds, and wallpapers. You can sync it with iTunes also. There are so many different choices on here, some that are simply hilarious! It also will let you see the most popular ones, and divide them up by genre.

WALMART SAVINGS CATCHER-Shame on me for not having learned of this sooner! It allows you to scan your Walmart receipts (within 7 days of purchase) and will tell you if there is a cheaper deal at another store! If it finds a cheaper price, you can collect the difference. It will accumulate those price differences for you which will add up to great savings later!

Well, those are it for now! I am sure I will be finding more as time goes by. There are millions of them! But, I don't want to download any unless I truly feel that they will be used. So far, these get plenty of use!
