Some of them have several requirements attached in order for you to get the reward or credit, but Husband is really good about tracking those things...so that is his department! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054827990287178366.post-35459959700530072662014-12-10T13:50:37.462-07:002014-12-10T13:50:37.462-07:00I'm sure you had some savings too!

We get some Harbor Freight freebies sometimes too - I am always thinking what a neat present could be made for a young child with a free tarp, some free flashlights, etc. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054827990287178366.post-60369205953620442462014-12-09T09:31:12.892-07:002014-12-09T09:31:12.892-07:00Earlier this month, I secured that $70 credit from...Earlier this month, I secured that $70 credit from Amazon for taking out a new credit card (Chase Visa). I generally try to avoid taking out new credit cards, but I've recently been looking into rewards programs and reading about how others use credit for percentages off purchases or travel credit. I know I can trust myself to pay off all bills at the end of the month. That $70 credit possibility popped up on the checkout page, but then I had to go back to look again at something relating to the Christmas presents I was buying for two granddaughters. When I got back to the payment page with the offer, the offer was only $40 with a new Amazon credit card. I just went back and forth between the pages until the $70 offer popped up again. The granddaughters' presents were free and I had credit left over. I get 3% credit I can use on Amazon any time the card is used for an Amazon purchase and between 1-2% off otherwise.Linda P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054827990287178366.post-2557454542648983942014-12-08T14:45:26.836-07:002014-12-08T14:45:26.836-07:00The bowl on top of the Crock Pot is genius!

Did I say last week that Dollar Tree has button batteries in multipacks? We needed some for ornaments and boy that saved the money. We also got some freebies at Harbor Freight while Christmas shopping.<br /><br />We need to do better this week about eating at home. We did use budgeted money but it has to last all of December. <br /><br />Happy holiday preparations everyone!<br /><br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
