Money Saving Idea (Online) Day 2

This is day 2 in my 7 day series of Money Saving Ideas Online!  Without further ado, lets gets going, we've got money to make and save! Right!?

Money Saving Idea (online) Day 2

Collect, Earn Points, Take Surveys

For the past few years, I have found ways around paying full price for items, getting things for free and simply by earning money just by doing what I already do, like search and shop online.

Last year alone, at Christmas, I saved over $100 by using gift cards that I earned just by collecting points and redeeming them in for gift cards just by simply searching the web! 

In addition, I also made personal gift baskets for people just by putting together products I got at discount by using coupons and by using Freebies I received in the mail! 

It’s not that hard to get the hang of it once you set things up and know your plan of action.  The hard part is committing the time to do it everyday in order to save money in the end!  That’s why I came up with a daily Earn Money Check Off List!  (You can find it below) It keeps me organized and reminds me I need to do this to collect points, etc. so I can save my family money and sometimes even make money!

First let me start off by sharing with you the Reward Programs that I use on a daily basis!

Note: Each Program has different criteria for earning other than what I use the programs for.  For example: I use Swagbucks mainly for searching, so I listed it under Searching although you can also print coupons, take daily polls, etc to earn credit!

Rewards Programs I Use Daily:
