I am amazed at my earnings this month. I received checks from some companies that I’ve NEVER gotten a payout from before (like Google Adsense, Ebates, MySavings Media, etc.), so the checks reflect 9 months of blogging. I’m sure it will be down a lot next month. We also held a garage sale to sell most of our baby stuff, plus I sold our crib on Craigslist. I will contribute those earnings to my boys’ college funds.

I thought now would be a good time to address my disclosure policy. It’s listed on my About page.

Although I do make some money on my blog, I only choose deals that I am willing to join myself and that I think are beneficial to my readers. Since my goal is to help my readers save money, I also will direct my readers to the various cash-back programs so that they can earn the cash-back for themselves rather than me as an affiliate. Amazon does not offer cash-back, so I use my affiliate link. Please e-mail me or leave a comment if you have any questions.

I debated about whether to include the (small) earnings from my blog on my review. I did included this month, but I highlighted them with bold so you know it is earnings that those with a blog could also pursue.

What do you think? I originally started this monthly post to allow normal readers to find opportunities to make some extra money through surveys, etc. If you are a blogger, do you also want to see blog earnings to help you find additional opportunities to monetize your blog?

I decided to change up my snowflake report even more and exclude rebates that I got back, unless the rebate amount made absolutely no difference in whether I would have purchased the item or not. I’ll also include the 10% bonus from Walgreens for getting my rebate on a gift card instead of a check.

See here for August’s snowflake total (it includes rebates).

Each month, I plan on sharing different ways that I have earned some extra money for my family by doing what I can from home. Some people include the savings that they got when shopping, but I don’t, because I most likely wouldn’t have purchased most items if they were full-price. I’ve always purchased items using the stock-up mentality when they were on sale, even before learning more about frugality.
