Online shopping is the way to go. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your money this holiday season. <\/p>\n
Never pay for shipping. Amazon always has free shipping and many other sites are offering free shipping on orders over X dollars. Visit retailmenot.com<\/a> for coupon codes and free shipping codes to popular retail sites. <\/p>\n Speaking of Amazon, they are taking Black Friday to a new level. It’s Black Friday all week<\/a> this week! I think I see a bread machine I want (looks like it’s gonna be cheap too!). <\/p>\n Wanna earn free Amazon gift cards to purchase gifts? Have you heard of Swagbucks<\/a>? Basically, you earn Swagbucks<\/a> periodically as you search (they combine the best of Google and Ask.com). You can earn between 1 and 100 Swagbucks each time you search. You cash in Swagbucks for a variety of things like gift cards, clothing, electronics and more. I just cashed in 180 Swagbucks for a $20 gift certificate to Amazon. All I did was search like I normally do!<\/p>\n You can also earn Swagbucks by searching for Swagcodes, promoting, downloading widgets and more. So you don’t have to just search. <\/p>\n (45 Swagbucks<\/a> can get you a $5 Amazon gift card so it’s easy to get started!)<\/p>\n Another way to make your dollars stretch even further is ShopatHome.com<\/a>. If you’re gonna shop online, why not get cash back? Search through thousands of online retailers, click and go directly to their site, shop, complete your transaction and receive a cash rebate of up to 30% of the purchase price, discounts, coupons and\/or free shipping promotions. <\/p>\n I shopped Old Navy and The Body Shop and received 10% back from both stores. Once you hit $20, they send you a check. You can also use online coupons (provided by them), so not only are you getting a discount with coupons, you get cash back! (Just some of their top 10 stores are Target, Wal-Mart, Dell, Victoria Secret, and Kohl’s)<\/p>\n Right now, get $5 just to sign up! (Like that shameless promotion? Hey, who doesn’t want free money?)<\/p>\n Think outside the box. While you may not need to get your baby a train set up this year because he’s only 6 months old at Christmas (*cough* JUSTIN *cough*), something like that may go on sale the day after Christmas. Pick it up when stores are clearing out merchandise. <\/p>\n So don’t go blowing your budget this year. And don’t say I didn’t get you anything.<\/p>\n (Trivia answer: Going from being in the red (no profit) to being in the black (making a profit), which usually is because of this day, the busiest shopping day of the year.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mark this date, November 24th, I listened to my Barenaked Ladies Christmas album. I liked it. My sister has her tree up already. Stores have been leaking their Black Friday ads for a week now. (trivia: Does anyone know what “Black Friday” means? Answer at the end of this post.)
