A Healthy Way to Earn a Little Cash at iHerb.com
Earn money by giving away online coupons! That's right.
Let me start at the beginning.
On a recent trip to the dentist I was scolded for over brushing. Apparently my enthusiasm for a sparkling smile has taken a toll on my gums. Bryce and I just visited honey farm this past weekend and I recalled reading something about Bee Propolis being good for gums so I tracked down an all natural toothpaste with Bee Propolis.
Always looking for a bargain I googled iherb.com coupons and found a $5 off code good for new customers. Yay for me! Turns out, yay for the person that posted it too. In order to get new customers iherb.com sets up referral codes for all new customers. Each person that I refer to the company gets $5 off their first order, and I get 4% of their sale. They in turn get a referral code and get 4% of the sale and I get 3%...and so the process goes.
A bit pyramid-esque, but hey, if I'm shopping there anyway why not. In case any of you would like to check out their products, here is a code to save you $5 and perhaps put 5 cents into my piggy bank towards future orders.
They have a great line of all natural products, vitamins, etc for very reasonable prices.

As always, Happy Shopping!! Enjoy!

"Generosity is the Pathway for More"
Please forgive me for a moment if I stray from the purpose of my blog...
As many of you know, I'm a big advocate and supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness, and Cancer Awareness in general. The improvements that have been achieved in diagnosing and treating cancers is incredible.
On May 7, 2011, I will be walking in the Revlon's walk for the cure to raise both awareness and funds to continue research, treatment and support for those dealing with this horrible disease. Cancer can impact anyone, at any time.
Living a thrifty lifestyle means not living in excess beyond your means, but it should never prevent you from supporting a cause or charity you believe in. I encourage you to give what you can. $1, $2 or $100. Thank you for your support.
