Festival of Frugality #199 ...

I am hosting my first carnival. This is the Festival of Frugality #199 - Damn, No Bonus Edition. Thanks to everyone who submitted an accepted article.

Since I'm not getting overtime, a raise of a bonus this year due to our good friend the recession, it looks like I might have to get even more creative on ways to make some extra money. Help me out here. What's the best way that you have found to make some extra money. Don't be shy, share!
