These days, every little bit of extra money you can get is essential. We found a great way to get back some of the money we spend. Being as though the kids drink a lot of soda, and my boyfriend drinks a lot of beer, we use a lot of aluminum cans.

I used to throw them into the recycle bin, (after all, we’re trying to save the environment!) but nowadays I save them up. I learned that you can take your cans to the scrap yard and get paid. It’s true that it takes a lot of cans to make it worth it, but, every penny helps!!
