Flag Day, 🇺🇸, cooking, sewing and a money making App

Hello everyone

Today is Flag Day in the USA so we posted our flags in the front yard.  

My daughter’s birthday was this week and we had a last minute family birthday supper here.  

I decorated the dining room with flags and they may just stay up until Labor Day.  

None of the decorations are new.  

I made the primitive flag on the wall more the 15 years ago

The table runner is maybe 10 years old.  

The 2 sets of flag banners are sort of new- I bought them several years ago at a big Veterans hospital gift shop.  They were 75% off and I think that made them .50 cents a package.  

We were out of homemade pasta sauce so I made a big batch this week. 

I don’t use a recipe.  I sauté the onions in a little olive oil, then add canned tomatoes (whatever purée, crushed, sauce or paste on hand)  It gets seasoned with salt and pepper, garlic, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning and just a little sugar.  It gets simmered and I add seasoning as needed, just adding and simmering until it tastes right. 



Then I put it in containers and freeze until needed.  

My family really likes it.  They say jarred sauces are too sweet.  

I’ve been making it like this for years.  

I like to sew burp cloths for baby gifts but I was all out of baby flannel.  So I made myself go to Joann last Saturday when the baby flannels were just $1.99 a yard.  They rarely put it on sale that low.  

I also used my military ID for 10% extra off and got back 5% from Ibotta.  

I can make lots of burp cloths and bibs with all this cute fabric.  

Have you heard of a Secret Shopper program called Field Agent? 

I got the app a few weeks ago but hadn’t tried it. 

Then one afternoon we were going to Lowe’s and I hadn’t planned supper.  I saw a job on Field Agent to order pizza on the Little Caesar’s app.  If I filled it all out, Field Agent would reimburse me for the pizzas and pay me $4.50.  

So I tried it, answered the questions they asked about the pizzas and service and sent the photos they requested.  

It was easy and delicious.  

And I was paid and reimbursed! 



I also did a job at Walmart that worked the same way, I bought a bag of Kraft cheese and was reimbursed and paid $2.  


That’s my history so far on Field Agent.  

Pay is made by direct deposit. 

Jobs vary everyday and I’m guessing bigger towns have more jobs available than in the not big town I live in.

My daughter has also done a couple of Field Agent jobs and she likes it too.  

You won’t get rich doing Field Agent,  but if you want to make a bit of money and maybe get free products, I recommend it.  

There is no referral program so just sign up if you want to try it.
