The first episode of Money to Jam went to air Wednesday night (2nd Sep), and was jam packed (sorry couldn’t resist)  full of hints and tips on how you can easily make (or save) a little extra cash.

The 1st episode included stories about :

• Tanked Drinkware – a business which provides a novel range of clothing  for the “drinking enthusiast” – including hats shirts  and even shorts with a built-in bottle opener.
• Some tips on how you can get paid for getting free stuff – by trying out and providing your opinion on a range of products and services as part of a Market Research exercise. You don’t need any skills or qualifications…just a bit of time and an opinion!
• Scott Cam and a bunch of his tradies pooled their resources and took turns to make lunch for the team – they each saved $70 a week.  If you work in an office, factory or building site why not give it a go you could save thousands per year!
• A stay-at-home mum who loves creating beautiful cakes as inspired to have a go at starting her own home based business making specialty cakes.
