Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Check your rewards points on your credit card. Mine gives you either money or gift cards. You can redeem your points for free money and buy gifts. Or you can get gift certificates and give gift certificates as presents. You haven't spent a dime!

Step2

If you have unwanted gift cards, go to www.giftcardbuyback.com. They will buy back your giftcard and you can use that free money to buy gifts.

Step3

Many drug stores offer money for transferred prescriptions. CVS is offering $25.00 gift cards for up to 4 prescriptions. I had new prescriptions to fill so I got $75.00 in gift cards for FREE gifts this holiday season!!!

Step4

Find a store like Play it again sports that buys used sporting goods and sell some of your sporting goods. Use that money to buy your gifts. Bookstores also buy books or give credit that you can use for free gifts!

Step5

Find consignment shops in your area that buy clothes, purses, shoes and belts and sell some clothing and use that money to buy gifts.

Step6

Give an antique or family heirloom to the next generation. These gifts are priceless and don't cost you a dime. Even teenagers can pass on some of their possessions to preteens.

Tips & Warnings

Be creative.
Think outside the box!

on 11/19/2007 Great ideas for those of us on a budget! Another budget friendly gift can be a framed picture of you and the gifted, along with a personal letter of how much you treasure their friendship or companionship, and include a homemade coupon for your time or services, a massage, make them dinner, movie night at your house, a walk, doing the dishes...whatever you think that person may enjoy or appreciate!
