Electric Companies Summer Off-Peak Hours Saving Opportunity

In Norman, Oklahoma, where I  live, OG&E has a program you can sign up for called Smart Hours.  On this program, during the summer months, if you use electricity during "off-peak" hours, as illustrated above, you pay less for electricity... MUCH LESS, generally around 4.5 cents/kWh vs the regular price of 11.3 cents/kWh!

They claim that people save up to $200 using this program, but I was still skeptical until I read that if your electric bill goes up, they will refund you the cost of the increase! Once I saw that I had to try it!!!

Looking at my comparison charts below, I'm glad I did.  As you can see from my comparison charts, in June I used about the same amount of electricity I did last year (bottom) but with Smart Hours pricing it cost me almost $20 less (top chart)!!!


If you haven't signed up for this, or a similar program in your area, I would suggest looking into it, you could save a lot this summer! I know I have!!! YAY!

Earning Money Online

By
I know there are a lot of people looking for web-based jobs but it's so hard to distinguish between REAL opportunities and SCAMS that they give up and decide to just keep doing what they are doing, no matter how miserable it makes them. I know that's how I was for years. I ran into so many scams I just gave up.  Then, one day I was directed to oDesk.com , an amazing website that pairs companies with workers online! It was so simple to start working on oDesk, I just signed up for an account, filled out my portfolio, and started applying for jobs as a freelance writer. If you're not a writer, don't fret, there are plenty of different types of jobs on oDesk.  Companies are looking for computer programmers, bloggers, people to check and respond to e-mail, data entry, etc. So no matter your field of expertise, you can find someone who wants to hire you! Plus, you set your wages! Another way to make money online is to start a blog, which can be about anything you enj...

LIFE WTR... another reverse osmosis purified water with added electrolytes...

By
Life wtr is another reverse osmosis purified water with added electrolytes that has nearly the same price tag as natural mineral water...  Why is this? The art installations on the bottles are vibrant, making it stand out on shelves. But what makes it cost so much? It does taste amazing, nearly as crisp and delicious as my favorite water so far, Icelandic Glacial. So, maybe there's something to this reverse osmosis vs. whatever they do to purify the cheap Wal-mart water?!

VigLink - for my bloggers!

By
VigLink is a way for blogs to make money, especially when google is messing up your AdSense (like they're doing to me for some reason). From what I understand they create hyperlinks on thing within your blog that you have talked about, but may not have thought to link to the company's site, because maybe they weren't your main focus. Then they give you $ for the traffic that those links (and some that you have already made) get.  In 2015 I made over $700 with VigLink, mainly due to a few of my Christmas shopping posts.  So they are totally legit! And you can make way more money than with AdSense (or at least I have in the past). Plus you can use both at the same time, so you can earn money from VigLink's links and from the ads that AdSense puts up. Win - Win!
