Plastic Jungle is now offering gift cards up to 25% off. They have also added more restaurant and gas station gift cards!

This is a great way to “make your own coupons”, if you know you have a purchase coming from one of these stores, go ahead and buy the gift card at a discount from that store then use the discounted gift card to make the purchase and use additional coupons or coupon codes.

For example, if you need a gift for a baby or bridal shower and want to buy the gift from Kohl’s buy a $30 gift card for $26 (free shipping), once the gift card arrives use coupon codes online or coupons from the store to buy the gift.

Another example, Mother’s Day gift at a local resturant means paying $43 for a $50 gift card.

While these amounts may not sound like much but for us every dollar counts especially when there are no discounts on items that we purchase. Waiting a few days for the gift card to come in with free shipping make a lot of sense to us.

We are about to embark on a major construction project that is going to involve many trips and money to Ace, Lowes and Home Depot. We do most if not all the work ourselves but materials can get expensive and every dime counts. In order to offset that cost we are looking at cashing in points for gift cards, taking advantage of points and offers online, and coupons.

Do you remember all those reminder emails in the past years about check your MyPoints, RecycleBank, Swagbucks, Plastic Jungle accounts for points or buy your gift cards?

This is probably the hardest lesson for a newbie to learn in the beginning but it is a major part of saving money and that is building. One “brick” at a time you print coupons, take advantage of offers, and build points, saving them and then cashing them in when there is a sale or a need.

Take advantage of our “reminder emails” that we send out and take that few minutes to get the offer while it is still available.

If you haven’t guessed we stay pretty busy and we get a lot of questions of how we get so many things done. Here is a tip that will save us and you hours of time: Home Depot and Lowes offer online ordering with free in store pick up (Lowes guaranteed in 20 minutes) which we plan to use not only to save money but also tons of time. Ordering what we need online, they will pull the order and have it available for us at the door. While some things we have to go in but the majority can be waiting for us at the door. How many hours have you wasted shopping in these stores trying to find what you need?

Here is how we will cash in and plan to purchase items from Home Depot & Lowes.

CLICK HERE for MyPoints

• Cash in 3,950 points for a $25 Lowes gift card

• You can shop through MyPoints and get 2 points per dollar at Lowes or 5 points per dollar at Home Depot. There is even a code for saving $5 off $50 at Home Depot.

• Lowes gift card purchases are eligible for points (Home Depot not specified if they are eligible)! Can you see the double dip? Order a $XXX gift card online (get 2 points per dollar), wait in the mail for the gift card, go back to MyPoints order your product (get 2 points per dollar) pay with the gift card, pick up at the store for free!

CLICK HERE for Swagbucks

• Cash in 5,999 for a $50 Lowes gift code (online only); there are others that don’t have as many points

• The better deal is the $100 Home Depot gift code for 11,595

CLICK HERE for Ebates

• Get 2.5% back when shopping Lowes (4% with Ace and 3% with Home Depot) through Ebates There is a 10% off $100 coupon code for Ace

• Purchase of gift card not eligible for points

CLICK HERE for Shop At Home

• Get 3% back when shopping Lowes or Home Depot through Shop A Home

• Purchase of gift card not eligible for points

 

CLICK HERE for Recyclebank

• Cash 2,500 points for $10 Home Depot gift card

CLICK HERE for Plastic Jungle

• Get 7% off ordering Home Depot or Lowes gift cards with free shipping. Online codes (no waiting on the mail) and cards are available.
  

What is great about these stores is not only do they price match to each other but they also take each others coupons. We will be getting coupons from eBay or Amazon We will also keep our eye out for rebates on gift card purchases using these links.

As we mention above we do must of the work ourselves but we are looking for a few estimates on things we can’t do. If you or someone you know is in the construction/remodeling business here is your opportunity to get some free advertising and possible work from us and our readers. Comment on this post with the business information (name, phone number, area, type of work).

Now that the Christmas dust has settled, hours of shopping and wrapping gifts resulted in a 5 minute flurry of “thank you” and “oh” and silent “oh nos”, the wrapping paper has been torn to shreds and stuffed into garbage bags, guests have returned home, your home needs a complete cleaning overall (didn’t we just do that a couple days ago?), piles of gifts litter your home with no place to go; now is the time to think about returning some of those gifts. Don’t wait too long, some stores have a very small window of return.

Here are some of the common store return policies:

Amazon You may return most new, unopened items sold and fulfilled by Amazon.com within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.

Kohl’s

Without a receipt you may be given:

• An even exchange.
• A Kohl’s Merchandise Credit, good for the return value of the item. Offered at any Kohl’s.
• A credit to your Kohl’s Charge Card, if your items were purchased on your Kohl’s Charge.
• A corporate-issued refund.

With a receipt you may be given*:

• A cash or credit refund, based on the original method of payment.
• An even exchange.
• A Kohl’s Merchandise Credit, good at any Kohl’s.
• A corporate-issued refund.

Old Navy offers a merchandise exchange or a gift card for the original price of the gift, as stated in the gift reciept. Alternately, unused gift cards can be returned for a refund to the original form of payment with an original sales receipt or online invoice. Items must be returned within 45 days from the date of purchase.

Target Items must be returned within 90 days of the day of purchase and must be in new and unused condition and contain all original packaging and accessories. Music, movies, video games, software and collectibles cannot be returned if opened. GiftCards, prepaid cell phones, prepaid cards (including music, game and phone cards), or other items that carry financial value cannot be returned.

Walmart Walmart’s No Receipt policy applies to items returned in a store only. You have the option of a cash refund (for purchases under $25), a Gift Card for the amount of the purchase (for purchases over $25) or an even exchange for the product. We also follow any manufacturer’s warranties. You can make up to three No Receipt returns within a 45 day period.

Babies R Us & Toys R Us offer store credit only. Gift Returns made at any of our Toys”R”Us or Babies”R”Us store locations will receive a merchandise credit when accompanied by a gift receipt or online packing slip.

Gift Cards  If you have gift cards that you want to sell, trade or buy, we love using Plastic Jungle for our gift cards.

Donation to your local charity. Make sure you get a receipt for your taxes (we will be thinking of that very soon).

Sell Or sell your gift on eBay or Amazon

One of our readers sent us a gift card to give away on our site a couple weeks ago and that made us think of how sometimes we have gift cards that we don’t use right away.

There is always other options for those gifts that are just not right:

Re-gift to someone else.
