Hitting the Black Friday sales online or in store? You have just over a month so you need to start getting your strategy in order. Here are some great tips for the holiday season to save money and maximize your gifting while minimizing your spending!
* If you have been saving points all year long through online surveys and shopping online, start looking at what you might want to cash out for. At swagbucks they always have "sales" on certain gift cards- If you are flexible about where you can buy items, pick the sale cards to get more bang for your buck! Many have Visa and paypal cards as well- remember you can cash out for paypal and then load that into your bank after.
*Know you are going to be shopping for some big ticket items at a specific store? Start searching for discount gift cards from different sites. If you use my referral link here to visit raise.com and you can get $5.00 toward your first purchase of a discounted gift card. Some other good sites to buy discounted cards are Ebay.com and Cardpool (Use the coupon code NewUser5 to save 5 bucks on your 1st purchase!) - If you visit Gyft.com right now, you can also use the new sign up to save 5 bucks off your 1st purchase. Right there you get $15.00 in free money using those links and codes to save!
* Keep an eye out for things like "bonus" cards this season- For example, Publix often runs $10.00 gift cards for gas when making certain purchases. If you are going to shop anyway, you may as well grab the gift card there. These $10.00 "free" gift cards and bonus gift cards make great gifts for teachers, mail carriers and other people you want to give a small token gift to without spending big bucks!
*Certain stores allow you to buy gift cards with their store gift cards. For example- If you can snag a best buy gift card at a discount, you can purchase something like an Amazon gift card with that- The advantage is that Best buy gift cards are often on discount at sites while Amazon's are rare to find any less than full price.
*DO NOT FORGET your credit card points. Many credit cards allow you to cash out points for gift cards. Start checking your online statements for all credit and debit cards you have enrolled so that you can cash out now to get them in time for Holiday Shopping?
Look at a couple of the items below and see if they will help you this holiday season- Jump on them NOW to make sure they get here in time if they need to be shipped:
*THIS IS LITERALLY FREE MONEY TO CVS- $100.00 CVS gift card for just $88.00 - Get $12.00 in free money by buying this CVS gift card. Here is a trick- after the holidays, CVS puts their TOYS ON CLEARANCE - they start around 50% and go all the way to 90% . This is when I buy all my toys I need for birthday parties through the year and charity. I usually spend around $100.00 because they also put things like perfume "sets" (specifically with xmas packaging) and I grab many of those - so this is PERFECT for me and I snagged one ! These are also perfect for people who play the drugstore game. I have not perfected it but I know some of you are great with the cash back etc etc- grab this to maximize.
*ONCE AGAIN- FREE MONEY!!! Get $10.00 worth of free money at Lowes
