Since this February is No Buy Month, I thought I’d share so great ways to get stuff with out spending any money! Here’ 12 ways to get Things for free this month.
1. Use Your Points – You know that credit card you keep using with all of those points? Redeem them. Now. Most credit cards with redeemable points allow you to use some of the points to pay your bill. Others, will offer gift cards to grocery stores or places like Amazon. Use that free money to buy toiletries, pet food and non-perishable groceries this month.
2. Sell Your Clutter – Use eBay.com, Craigslist.com or a good ‘ol fashioned garage sale to sell what you already own. Use the proceeds to buy your groceries or treat yourself to a movie!.
3. Swap Your Stuff – Go to clothes swaps or checkout Craigslist.com or freecycle.com and find ways to swap your junk for someone else’s treasure!
4. Skype Your Calls – Sign up for Skype (for free) and use the service to call friends and family signed up with the same service and it’s free! Also, check out Gtalk from Google. All domestic calls are free, you can generate a phone number and use it to send/recieve text messages and you can even download a Google Phone App on your cell phone to save on your cell phone calls!
