Ways to earn/save/cashback
Sorry I haven't posted in, well, forever! As it is getting closer to Christmas (17 weeks! EEK!), you may be starting to worry how to afford it, how to get the most for your money, etc. Well here are a few tricks I've done/use to make, earn, get cash back, or even earn free stuff! Can't beat that! If you already shop online, or even have an hour a week you can do most/all of these. I do suggest getting a junk email account (gmail, yahoo, whatever) so your regular inbox doesn't get flooded! Here are the top 28 ways I use.
1- Topcashback- This site I have recently found and love! From time to time they'll have really good cash back offers. Recently (and perhaps still available) they had cashback from two different no contract phone companies. If you bought the phone, you'd earn $35-40 back! Well they had phones under $15, so.... cashback FREEBIES! Then you can have the phones for your kids, or for a family member, or whatever! They had a deal over the summer which gave you a free backpack and earned about $1 back too. Can't beat that! They also will pay 1-10+% back for certain companies if click through them first.
2- Ebates- This is another site to earn cashback for your purchases, and often has promo codes to save on your order too. If you are already shopping online, what is another step to earn back what you are paying? You can earn usually 1-10% back. Then 3-4 times a year they send you a check! Earn back money from your Christmas shopping to pay next year or for next big holiday!
3- Swagbucks- is another site I've been using for several years now. Its an easy way to earn giftcards, etc. You can earn swagbucks just by opening your browser daily, answering their polls, doing tasks, doing trial offers, codes they send out, or even through shopping your favorite sites too. 450 swagbucks= $5 amazon gift card! Those can add up fast. If you are a new mom, diapers can be pricy (if disposables), and this can go toward your diaper fund! I did that a lot.
4- Amazon Mom- If you are expecting, or a new parent, this can be very helpful! They send out completion discounts to your registry, up to 20% off diapers, not to mention two day shipping. So if you do the swagbucks, do this too, and you can potentially end up with free baby stuff! (And Christmas stuff as the videos, two day shipping, etc all comes with it!)
5- Shop Your Way Rewards- If you ever shop at Kmart, Sears, etc, you need this! For your purchases you earn so much in points. Those points are worth cash. For example 8,000 points= $8! Once signed up, they will send surprise points from time to time for you to use. From $1-10+! This can help! Recently had a back to school promotion which helped you earn 8,000 points. For many that meant a free backpack!
6- Instagc- This is a site I've recently found too. By completing easy tasks, offers, etc, you can earn gift cards, a check, etc. I've earned $8 in about 2 days! Not too bad for answering surveys, answering questions, etc. Easy way for quick earning, and can cash out at $1!
7- iPoll- This is a survey site, but has rewards too. For signing up you get $5! Save up for the sweepstakes or rewards you want. Do not get discouraged if you get declined for surveys, as some days you just won't qualify. Other days you can't do enough! In over a week I earned $14. And that is only doing 2 or so a day.
8- Twice- This site is awesome. Its a clothing site for women, that carries new or gently worn clothes. You can earn up to $20 by signing up ($10) and then if you have an iPad/iPhone earn an additional $10! You can get a free shirt, pants, dress, etc. Inventory changes all the time!
9- Opinion Outpost- Another survey site, but you can cash out at $5 for amazon gift card, or $10 for paypal. It doesn't take too long to earn it either. Another way to earn money!
10- MyPoints- This site you can earn rewards from sharing the link, clicking your email they send you, and shopping! Easy way to earn!
11- Purell Rewards- This is for the hand sanitizer company, BUT you can earn free product, coupons, and gift cards just by doing a few steps everyday! Easy to do!
12- Groupon- This site is awesome way to save for things you are already looking to purchase, whether a trip, a product, a service, etc. I've saved a lot using them to sign up for services I wanted. Also they have coupon codes, etc all the time to save more!
13- Living Social- similar to groupon. Downloading the app can often save you more too!!
14- Amazon Local- Similar to groupon and living social. Often has deals they don't, or for the kindle.
15- Scorebig- This site is awesome! You can save so much on concert, broadway, sports, and more. Often through Groupon, living social, or amazon local can buy a voucher for scorebig. Once you get the voucher use it on score big, and have fun!!
16- Hautelook- This site has nice women, men, kids, and home stuff with fairly good discounts. Its a daily deal site, so it changes often. They often have blowout sales too which are even more discounted. I got a $400 pan set for around $100. They have a lot of good brands too.
17- Gilt- Similiar to Hautelook. Around the holidays they often have good steals. For instance last year had a $100 bike for $28.. shipped! Or a $200 dress marked down to $17!
18- Rue La La- Similar to previous two.
19- Myhabit- Similiar to previous, but is through Amazon so can utilize any gift cards etc.
20- Zulily- Another daily deal site that has a lot of cool and different stuff. Around most holidays they have blowout sales too. Just be aware that they can be slower to ship so if need right away, may not be the best place to shop. They have great customer service too.
21- Any store you love- If you love a store, sign up for their emails, loyalty programs, etc. They all offer discounts often, and sometimes they aren't placed anywhere but through emails. Gap, Old Navy, Childrens Place, Crazy 8, Loft, Babies r us, etc. Sign up!!
22- Retailmenot and Fatwallet- Either of these sites are great to check for deals, coupon codes, etc. If you need a code check there. They usually have some that are great!
23- Apps.- If you have a smart phone, check apps for your favorite stores. Many will have deals on the apps too. For instance retailmenot had a contest last year to win money, living social has had a $1 off deal just using the app, shopyourway will alert you to any surprise points, target has mobile coupons, etc.
24- Cartwheel- This is a target specific app. It has more savings on it than is offered in stores, up to 50% off. I always use the scan feature and scan items in my cart to see what are on deal, and then add that deal. It works on clearance items too. Best of all target allows a cartwheel deal, a manufacturer coupon, and a target coupon on an item!! Can be wonderful savings!
25- Checkout 51, Ibotta, Shopmium- All three of these are great for saving with groceries, food, etc. Checkout 51 is great in that it has rebates for fresh fruits and veggies! Ibotta offers cashback for clothes, food, electronics, etc. Depending on the brand and that week. Always check when you complete your trip or debating on brands! Just need your receipt!
26- Wal-Mart just came out with a deal app. It will scan your receipt and if there are any competitors locally that offer better, they give you the discount on an e-giftcard. Sometimes won't earn anything, sometimes you will. Can't hurt to check!
27- Travelzoo- This site offers a lot of great deals on shows, trips, etc. Often has presale codes for many shows too. They have an app too, which has some app only deals.
28- If you (or your child) loves concerts, shows, disney shows (ice/live/etc) sign up for their email list/fan club. Both for your favorite venue and the show/whatever. You will often get presale codes to get your tickets. If you are ok with opening night, you can often get that show at about 50% off!
