ways to get gifts for free

December 6th, 2005 at 04:08 pm

I've been asked to post some methods for getting great deals on the internet. Since we are pretty rural, shopping is 30 miles away, I do most of my shopping on the internet. So, lots of "tricks". So, I'll try to break this down into a few organized posts lol.

Freebies.

I rarely take the BizRate surveys when they popup (HOW irritating), but I do occasionally, especially when I'm looking for deals. Note, if you do rate a vendor, BizRate will ask if they can send you offers. Some may be great, some may be spam. Your choice.

BizRate will give you a "$100 shopping spree". Some good deals, but if you aren't careful it CAN become a spending spree, because they offer a limited selection of magazines, DVDs, stuff, and each requires $2 or so processing fees.

Be careful on the magazines. Time at $2 a year is a great bargain, but they WILL autobill you the next year at $77, or the current full price, so if you do sign up for these make yourself a reminder to CANCEL them in 9 months. If you want to keep them, find another cheap way to do it. Maybe another BizRate survey, maybe one of the other great sites I can tell you about.

DVDs, very limited selection. But, I did pick up Disney's Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and a 3 Stooges DVD at $2 a pop for gifts. (forgot to count those in my totals).

REMIND YOURSELF you dont' have to "spend" their $100s, just get things that you would buy anyway. Otherwise it is NOT a savings!
