Quick Ways to Make $50 This Week
Are you stressing about money this week? Do you need to figure out how to make a little bit of extra cash to help pay bills or buy groceries? Not to worry! I would be willing to bet that you can find some extra cash with just a little bit of work. Check out these tips:
Quick Ways to Make $50 This Week
- Sell your stuff. You can sell your clothes that you no longer wear, old phones, books, toys, home decor. The list goes on! Chances are, you have tons of stuff in your home that you could actually make some money with!
- Donate Plasma. Donating plasma is a great way to earn quick cash if you are able to do so. Many times plasma centers will offer bonuses for first time donors, so you may be able to make even more money.
- Recycle. Do you live in a redemption state? In many states, you can redeem soda cans and water bottles for 10 cents each. In all reality, it doesn’t take too many bottles to get to $50! This is sometimes a sticky job, but you can do it!
- Focus Group. If you live in a metropolitan area, you can likely find a focus group to sign up for to make some quick money! I did a one hour focus group a while back and made $150. Easy, breezy!
- Return unused stuff. Do you have random stuff in your house that you never ended up using or opening before? I recently looked into my cabinets and saw 5 different things that I had never used (I bought them for a project that I didn’t end up needing them for). I decided to take them back to Home Depot and voila! I was all of the sudden $45 richer than I was that morning.
- Don’t go out. During this week when you are looking to find more money, work extra hard to not spend any extra money! It’s amazing how much money you can find when you simply spend it wisely.
When was the last time you had to make money in a hurry? Did you succeed? How did you do it?
Find an Extra $100 This Week with These Tips
Twenty dollar bills isolated against white background.
Who could use a little bit of extra money this week? I know I can. Between taxes, bills and the kids being home for Spring Break this has been a rough month. Luckily I know that there are some ways for me to find some extra cash, it’s just a matter of doing it.
If you need a cash boost, you can use some or all of these tips to earn an extra $100 this week:
Return those unused items. Do you have items sitting around the house that you have never used? Maybe it’s an article of clothing that didn’t fit or just an item that you mistakenly bought. Many stores have generous return policies so depending on how long you have had it, you may be able to return it for money.
Recycle. Do you live in a bottle redemption state? Go through your house and garage and return all of the bottles and cans that you have. We did this last weekend and found that we had 3 bags full of bottles that were just waiting to be returned. I had my son load them up and we took them in (we were going grocery shopping anyway) and ended up with an extra $7. It’s not a lot, but it’s something, plus I have less clutter at home now!
Skip the Lattes. By now we all know that we can save a tremendous amount of money by forgoing our daily coffee drink, but even if you are unwilling to give it up completely, skipping just once week could save you $25 or more!
Sell your Old Electronics. Are you still holding onto your old phone, tablet, iPod, etc? Why not throw them up for sale? You can do this on Craigslist or FB sale groups and have cash in hand by the end of the day.
Cash in on Name Brand Clothes. Do you wear name brand clothing? I routinely see Miss Me and Silver Jeans selling for $50+ on FB Yard Sale pages! Yep, people pay over $50 for used jeans!! If you have name brand clothing at home that you rarely (if at all) wear, why not get rid of it and put some cash in your pocket instead?
