Working with a tight budget? You’re not alone! Here’s how to save money on Happy Meals at McDonalds (and a lot more than that!), from two fry-loving, frugal moms in the know!

Look, the marketing team at McDonalds got one thing right- us mamas NEED a break, today and every day. We find ourselves cruising the drive through for an icy cool Coke more often than we’d like to admit.

Visit too often, though, and you’ll find yourself desperately trying to figure out how to save money at McDonald’s, because those little visits add up fast.

It was all well and good when our kids were little, and we could sneak fries where they couldn’t see us from their rear-facing car seats. Now, however, is a different story and they (shockingly) want to eat, too.

So if you’re like us, that leaves you trying to figure out how to save money on Happy Meals at McDonald’s, so you can get your kids (yourself) a little treat without breaking the bank. Here are our very favorite McDonald’s hacks to save you money on your favorite fast food.

Does OhmConnect Really Work?

Live in California or Texas, and want to save BIG on your power bill? Find out how OhmConnect can help you pay your bills at TheSaltyMamas.com. #energysavings #energystar #ohmconnect #sidehustle #budget #oneincomebudget #sahm #stayathomemom #moneysavingtips #howtoreducebills #sidegig #cutspending

So you’re considering joining OhmConnect, but you’ve got a few questions first. Is OhmConnect a scam? Is it worth it? And maybe most importantly- how much money do you REALLY earn with OhmConnect? These two families have been using it for YEARS- and here’s what they have to say.

You might have seen those ads floating around Facebook by now. “This company will pay you $300 to unplug for an hour!” They’re talking about a program called OhmConnect, and those ads are (almost) right.

Over the last several years, we have been participating in a power savings program that helps us save energy, the environment, AND some cash in the process.

One year, we only paid one electric bill out of pocket. Our checks from this energy saving program handled the rest.

The OhmConnect program has made some changes over the last couple of years, but we’ve still got the best ways to make the most from this energy-savings program. If you’re asking yourself, “does OhmConnect really work?” and wondering it’s worth the effort- the answer is still yes, yes, and more yes.
