Shopping without leaving home, and not spending a cent of your own money

I just did the bulk of my Christmas shopping online, about 130.00 give or take, and got most of my Christmas shopping done, the boys are done, I need to get a couple small things for my youngest, and 1 more thing for my oldest girl, and that can be picked up from a consignment shop

Everything I bought I paid with a gift card, and earned online.

Isn't life grand?

Thanx for the ideas, I had to scour for something to get my oldest, so I could save on the shipping if you spent 25.00  you could get free shipping and they are pretty certain that everything will arrive before Christmas.....

Amazing what you can do with a few dollars and some great sales to stretch your earnings a bit further.

The one I haven't shopped for yet is my cat.

That's good!! You are able to do the shopping by the extra money you earn online. I hope I can do that too. ^_^

I have been picking up gifts all year long. I have some gift cards - to give, not use, and various cute things. I've always preferred to give, and get, lots of small gifts rather than something large and expensive.
Petland discounts has better prices than petco.

One less thing to worry about!

We're doing the same thing-- although I didn't earn what you did. I have $40 is Border's cards and will order stuff online. I might spend $5-$10, but that's it.

Isn't that a wonderful feeling, though? Yeah, I try to earn free gift cards, then I've been doing surveys, focus groups, product testing, points programs, etc., etc......it's soo much fun to see what one can get for free!

That is great! I was able to pay for Christmas gifts with money I got doing surveys and gift cards i got online. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to get as much.
That's great Mooch. I'll be doing that in a little while when my teen gets home from his volunteer work. He shows me what he wants and I buy it. Guaranteed no returns that way.
My cats are usually quite happy with the boxes that the gifts come in. Gift wrap a box for kitty, lol.
