Making up for crappy hours at work—$55 a week will be cushioning that nicely.

If you’re new to this goal, EAT before you donate, especially something high in protein, and DRINK a ton of water beforehand. 2 months ago

I started donating at CSL Plasma in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when I lived there a few years ago. I donated for a few months and only when I felt I needed the extra cash in my pocket. I started donating again in Salt Lake City on May 12, 2012 and I try my best to donate twice a week, every week. I make a little over $200 every month from donating plasma. I also enjoy volunteering and helping others in need. Plasma donation fits the criteria I seek. 5 months ago

I did this several times when I was a broke college kid trying to raise money for a trip with my mom. The place I went felt like a low budget clinic; the needles they use are pretty large, I have scars on both arms from it (I only did it 3 or 4 times).

Donate blood if you are feeling altruistic (they can break that down into blood for transfusion, platelets, plasma), the plasma donation experience IMHO was just strange. 13 months ago
