We got some not so great news yesterday - we need a new transmission in our "new to us" car. If course, it is more expensive because of the 4wd. So, now we need to squeeze $2500 out of our quite-tight budget.

The Lord knew this was coming - the Hubs has several income opportunities coming up in the next few months. We'll make it through unscathed and with a much more reliable car after the repair if we're a bit more cautious with our money.

In the spirit of saving, I want to pass along some coupon and sale information!

First of all, my favorite forum, We Use Coupons, will be featured on TLC in December! This is a great, faith-based, savings forum. A feature on the front page right now is called "Babies on a Budget" and discusses various ways to save money on baby products and on getting many baby items for free. Find deals for your favorite grocery stores. Preview the coupons for the upcoming Sunday paper. Print coupons, trade coupons, find shopping scenarios for stores, take online coupon classes, play games, even view the Black Friday ads today! (just search Black Friday)

Now, I am an affiliate for We Use Coupons. I make a few pennies for how many people click through to their site through my links. If another blogger signs on to be an affiliate, I make $10. If you are a blogger and are looking for a good affiliate program, please consider signing up under me. Just give my email address (penguinelk at yahoo dot com) when you sign up. I'd appreciate it! All proceeds will go toward buying wheelchairs for the Free Wheelchair Mission!

More savings news:

Coupons.com has posted a lot of new coupons to print! Again, I am an affiliate, so my links may look strange. By printing through my links, you are helping to change lives!

Bloggers, I use the Escalate Affiliate network for updates on coupons and other great offers. If you are interested in trying Escalate, just click here! I will earn $3 for each new referral.

Here are some more great offers from Escalate:

Get a free 8x10 canvas through the Canvas People - sign up and receive a $55 credit which will get you the free 8x10. Makes a great Christmas gift!
Sign up for free Daily Worth emails - finance tips (and the occasional kick in the pants) for women
Sign up to receive emails about special offers, coupons, and promotions from The Home Depot.
Mint - free and fabulous online financial software (like Quicken but easier to use)

I also take surveys to make money online. In the last year and a half, I have made a total of about $350 from online surveys. Not all survey companies are created equally. For more details on each company, please see the Survey tab on my PennyPinchingPenguin blog. Here are a few of my favorites:

So, what are YOUR outside-the-box ways to save or make money?
