Getting Ready for Christmas?

Getting ready for Christmas yet or did that just send your head spinning?  I prepare every year a year ahead of time.  I try to maximize my bank cards to get bucks/points back, I use MyPoints for when I purchase items online as you get points to use for gifts/gift cards, MyCokeRewards for gifts, Swagbucks for my searching for more points to cash in for gift cards and surveys from Inbox for more points.  It's amazing how much these things can add up to save you money. 


This is one item I used with a rewards program that I purchased for my girls at Christmas with no money out of my pocket:

Don't forget all the blogger giveaways, Twitter giveaways and Facebook ones.  There are a lot of things to be won if you are an online person.  Another big event is Blogmania 2010 that occurs on 9/15 and 9/16 with well over 150+ bloggers participating.  My prize pack alone is over $700.
