If you are like us, you’ve been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing during the quarantine. That might mean you’ve got a box of paperwork to dispose of. Thankfully, North Island Credit Union and California Credit Union are hosting a Shred Day on October 24, 2020 from 9am-2pm at the following locations-
LOS ANGELES
Glendale HQ 701 N. Brand Blvd. Glendale, CA 91203
Rosenell Branch 420 N. Rosenell Terrace Los Angeles, CA 90026
SAN DIEGO
San Diego HQ 5898 Copley Dr. San Diego, CA 92111
South Bay Branch 45 N. Broadway Chula Vista, CA 91910
Shred Day will be a PAPER ONLY event. No electronic items will be processed.
At this contactless drive-thru event, all members must stay in their vehicles and have their shred items packaged in a bag(s) or box(es) in their back seat or trunk.
I know a lot of us right now are unemployed or underemployed. There are a lot of Get Rich Quick scams out there (here are few to avoid), and I wanted to share with you some ways you can earn money at home in a legit way.
I do a lot of surveys online through various companies. Some of my favorites can be found here on my Side Hustles page.
Recently, a few more survey companies have been brought to my attention, so I thought I’d share them too.
I’ve been a member of MyPoints for over 10 years. In addition to using Mypoints to shop online to use points, you can earn points for searching the web, reading emails and visiting websites.
I earn about $15/month using Mypoints for my online shopping, in addition to surveys, and reading emails from them.
Opinion Outpost is another company that comes highly recommended.
Someone contacted me via my Facebook page and during the course of our chat, he told me he makes approx. $400 USD per WEEK using Opinion Outpost. Ok, so obviously this isn’t common, but, if you have a lot of time to dedicate to surveys and doing work online, anything is possible!
This Friday’s freebies and deals: This week is chock full of Freebies! I’m stoked. Both kids are back to school (part-time), so I’ve got a little wiggle room in the morning to get some writing and deal-hunting done! Also, now it’s October- Time to get Spoopy!
If you find a cool deal or freebie, please leave a comment!
I received an email earlier today and I’m bummed, but honestly, I’m not all that surprised. Like all awesome programs that pay well, they have to come to an end.
Unfortunately, the Receipt Rewards program will be ending on October 1, 2020. Current members can continue to take advantage of the other great programs, including traditional email surveys and Radial Insight On Demand.

This October 1-31, kids 12 and under receive free admission at many art, cultural, and science museums and historical sites in San Diego County. This year may be a little different with closures due to COVID-19, so please call each attraction prior to visiting.
For those of us with curious kids, this is perfect! Kids can get into over 40 museums in the San Diego area free with paying adults (all the info can be found here).
A full list can be found here. Oh, and as part of free October, Kids can get into the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park free when accompanied by a paying adult! Other Kids go free attractions include: Legoland, Sea World, and the USS Midway!!
*Some museums charge fees for special exhibitions, programs or films. Some museums may limit offer use to once per month per guest. Purchase of a Balboa Park Explorer Pass does not qualify as a paid adult admission for the Kids Free in October program. Purchase of a Go San Diego Pass or card does not qualify as a paid adult admission for the Kids Free in October program at most museums; call museum(s) before visiting to enquire.
This popped into my inbox this morning and I had to share. Every Wednesday in September when you order an adult Entree, you can score a kids meal at Rubio’s FREE. Log onto the Rubio’s app for the QR/coupon code and for details/restrictions.
One free kids meal per order, expires 9/30/2020.
This is perfect for me and the littlest kiddo- she loves Quesadillas!
This Friday’s freebies and deals: This week is chock full of Freebies! I’m stoked. The big kid has gone back to in-person school, and the little one is doing distance learning for another week. I am looking forward to getting back to a schedule where I can have more time to write and work, and the kids get some sort of normalcy with our new normal.

It’s Back!! Our friends over at Faith Chapel understand that with all that’s going on in the world that some of us still need help finding healthy food during this difficult time. And that’s it not always safe for us to go to the store or hit up a farmers market.
Distribution is happening this Friday, September 18th, 2020, beginning at 10:00am.
This is a drive-thru style event, so you don’t have to leave your vehicles.
Here is an example of what was offered in previous weeks: Navel Oranges, Grapefruit, Plumcots, Lemons, and nectarines. All free.
Faith Chapel is located at 9400 Campo Road Spring Valley, CA 91977
