Online Offers - Sign up for your local Groupon or other daily deals specifically for your city. Often times these types of deals will offer an incentive such as $25 for $50 worth of food at a restaurant, local clothing shop, bed and breakfast, excursion, etc. Not only will you be saving money, but you'll have a fun time doing it!
Giveaways - The blogging world is full of giveaways. Keep your eye out for cash giveaways and enter all of them that you can find. Sometimes bloggers let you have extra entries for spreading the word on Twitter, Facebook, your own blog, etc.
Checking Accounts - Sign up for a new checking account at a bank that is offering an incentive, such as a free $100 deposit. While it may not always be a cash incentive, you may walk away with a new gadget, gift certificate, or tickets to a movie.
Blog - Start a blog or website and put advertisements such as Google's Adsense on your page. While you only start off earning a few cents per page view, it can quickly add up if you are writing relevant content that is interesting to your readers who then refer your blog to their friends, thus increasing your readership.
Feeling Lucky? - Purchase a lottery ticket (or two or three or four) but don't spend more than you can afford! While it may cost you a few bucks up front, it will be worth it in the end if you are one of the lucky winners.
Coupons - Learn how to effectively use coupons online and in stores. There are lots of people who pride themselves in their ability to save tons of money using coupons. Enlist their help (as it can be quite confusing to those just beginning) and start saving! You can learn how to collectively use double coupons, manufacturers coupons, store coupons, etc. to walk away with a cart full of food and other goods for a fraction of the cost of what it would have normally cost you.
Take Surveys - Make a few extra dollars by taking online surveys. Many companies will pay you a small amount to give them feedback and input on their services, advertising, etc. Keep your eye out for such offers and take advantage of them every dollar adds up!
Promo Codes - Sign up for Redbox.com or BlockbusterExpress.com to receive promo codes once a week good for a free video rental. Even though it's just saving you a dollar, those dollars quickly add up over the duration of a year and you'll be saving money!
