Make Money as eJurors

eJury provides an attorney the opportunity to "pre-try" the case before it goes to trial in front of an actual jury at the courthouse.  Cases at the courthouse are usually tried to juries of 12 people.  At eJury, each case is tried to a minimum of 50 people.  This provides the attorney with a tremendous amount of feedback which he/she will use to establish a settlement value, find strengths and weaknesses in the evidence, learn "public" attitudes, improve jury selection, discover the most effective arguments.

eJury is open to residents in all 50 states.  The number of cases available for participation will vary greatly depending on your residence.   Jurors living in major metropolitan areas receive more cases for participation than jurors living in rural areas.

For each verdict rendered, eJurors are paid $5 - $10 depending on the length of the case.  The amount to be paid will be shown at the top of each case.  You certainly won't get rich serving as an eJuror, but just one case a week would probably pay for your Internet access. Payments are made via PayPal.


Cheapo Food - The Price Book

The biggest target for saving is in the food and grocery area. The reason is simple. We spend about 20% of our money on food. We're making decisions about buying food all the time. 

A pricebook is an invaluable tool. It's a simple listing of items that you purchase regularly (i.e. milk, bread, ground beef, etc) and the lowest price that you've paid for it recently. The most effective pricebook includes one sheet for each item with the store name, date and low price recorded.

Since loss leader sale items appear on the front and back of sales circulars, I can create the price book at home without even going to the store!

Taking the pricebook to the store allows us to quickly identify real sales. That gives us the opportunity to stock-up on an item when the price is right.
