   Gifts for Free

   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!

2. 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.

3. 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!!!

4. 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!

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