[the4heathernsmom]

I appreciate it I ahve been on here all day and most of last night even skipped school today. Found afew things I could possibly make to try and sell. Found some real good ideas for pinching pennies on the sufficient self website sister site to byc. I am going to try the homemade laundry soap one lady said she spends 18.00 a year wow I spend 18.00 every two weeks!!! (I do on average 3 loads a day)....learned about hanging out to dry I already have a line but think I will use it more frequently. We have the incubator full going to try and keep these chicks to raise as layers for next year to sell for the kids money. Found a honey hole for catfish and crappie gives hubby time with kids private lake so no liscense needed. I am still looking for income ideas but I am also learning some new ways to pinch pennies. Not that I am not already very frugal.

House/pet sitting is a fun way to get out of your regular routine, and make a little extra cash.

Thought about leasing the middle pasture has small pond about 3 acres know absolutely nothing about that kind of thing but I don't want to be responsible for someone else's critters if something happened. Would someone feasibly be interested in 3 acres or is that a stupid idea?

I collect junk and sell scrap metal. It's not much, but it gets me spending money since I'm unemployed.

For example: Tomorrow I'm taking approx 50lbs of cans (I get most of my family to help collect them with me, and I pick them up when I walk my dog, etc.) to the scrap yard and I expect to purchase 2 used chainlink walk gates for my yard with the money I make.
A couple of weeks ago I traded a heavy piece of iron for the welded wire that I'm putting into my new chicken coop.
Before that I sold a pickup truck load of misc. scrap iron and another 50lb of aluminum cans, and bought used T-posts for less than 1/2 the price of new - they went into fencing the entire south side of my yard.

I found reputable sites online (believe it or not!)

Some mystery shops require you to make a small purchase - $1-$5 - for which they reimburse you. Some do not- for example, bank shops pay $12-$15 and you dont' have to buy anything - just pretend you want to open an account. Other shops require you to buy, say, a shirt or a dvd but you can return it. There are all kinds of shops out there that you can find on Volition.com, jobslinger.com, and sassie.com. The Mystery Shoppers Providers Association - MSPA - has a website too, and they have a list of all the scams out there. It helps to keep you away from predators to stick with anything sanctioned by the MSPA.

My Ex's grandparents leased part of their farm for a cell phone tower. The phone company paid a ton of money and they only actually "lease" the size of the ground around the tower, plus they have right of way access.

Self-care pasture baorsd goes for $200-350 depending on grass and fencing, etc. It's self care so they provide their feed and such, you just provide the land.

You mentioned that your husband is a welder. How about some metal "yard" art that can be taken to the flee market. Creative metal bugs for the garden, wind chimes, animal cut outs etc. We do metal art although we don't sell - here is a simple dog that I made for a friend from a lapel pin that she had and loved. Simple and cost about $5 and could probably get $25 easy. Google has an "Image" tab that you can put in say "silhouette of chickens" and get all kinds of ideas. I blow mine up on copier and have a pattern.

Also, on our BYC page is a picture of a gate that we designed. May be some commission work for gates in high income area. People do like the idea of fancy gates.

Just an idea
