October 27, 2014: Real Easy Cash Back Shopping does actually exists. Honestly it does, but it took me a while to find it – so I hope I’m saving you the hassle of the hunt today. I looked into things that said ‘cash back rebates’ and well, most all of them took so many twists, turns and convoluted explanations that I just wasn’t sure they were real. Can you relate? If that’s you and you’ve been there… you’ve looked into cash back shopping or cash back rebates and been kind of taken aback by how very complicated they become – you’ll be excited to listen to my guest Frank Atkins explain this FREE way to get real, easy cash back for buying things we already buy!
Find out how to start earning REAL cash back at http://www.EarnCashRebates.com. I began using this way of shopping and have already received cash back on things from bed sheets to car parts! I’m surprisingly thrilled with it thus far! And it’s FREE to join!
Yes, seriously you can start saving back real cash each time you shop (even at discount clubs that already offer bulk savings and discount sites like Wayfair and more) and after you’ve save money with them you can still put cash into your account and begin building your stash of cash back.
With a simple tool bar to keep you from forgetting and virtual ‘savings account’ just for shopping for things from toilet paper to cell phone service (yeah that one caught my ear too – cash back each month for paying a bill I already pay? – Yes!) you can pocket real cash rebates on top of savings already offered. And this one is easy not complicated like so many of the others out there.
Visit http://www.EarnCashRebates.com and you’ll see this FREE and easy way you can start seeing your real cash back rebate potential.
Best Blessings & EnJOY the show,

May 12, 2014 – Today it is my privilege to introduce Frank, Class Coordinator for the Firefly Gathering, one of the largest Earth Skills Events in the nation. He and I both share a similar hope to introduce people to a more REAL (vs. virtual) life connected with the creation around us and to experience the joy of learning frugally sustainable skills for life. It is a lifestyle that not only lightens the financial burden but the intrinsic value to it is priceless.
Frank is currently establishing a staple food crop chestnut-based forest garden in Sodom-Laurel, NC, where he homesteads and experiments with permaculture farming. He graduated with honors from Shepherd College with a B.A. in Liberal Arts, after spending a year on the city council of Shepherdstown, WV, where he served on the Planning and Zoning Commission, Environmental Sustainability Committee, and Affordable Housing Committee. He is a member of the Northern Nut Growers Association (NNGA) and the North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX). His writing has been published in the Permaculture Activist magazine and Appalachian Voices.
